A day has 24 hours. People are awake and active for 16 hours and more, but what about the remaining hours of the day? Do they go to waste? What if there was a second world out there? Lee Jim was thinking about weird questions like always before he went to sleep. He grinned at those thoughts and just pushed them aside. Pulling his blankets, he promptly went to sleep.

"Human Realisation Occured,

Initiating Awareness Of User,

Linking Day And Night Life"

A streak of light passed through Lee Jim's mind, and he was blinded momentarily. He flinched and muttered: "sigh, i barely just slept and seems like it's time for work again".

Eyes closed, he reached out to off his time-controlled light which served as his alarm every morning. However, when he reached out, he felt his arm being weightless. It was as if his arms were swinging through thin air. He slowly moved his hands in a circular motion before opening his eyes in shock. Surrounding him was a completely white environment that felt like a void.

... Where the heck am i ?!?!?!? ...

Before he began to panic, a girl walked through the white walls, grinning.

"Good night, Mr Jim. Congratulations on being the 1707 human to gain conscious in this world, you may ask me any question you want"

Right now, Jim was breathing heavily and was doubting whatever he was seeing.

... This is definitely a dream, it has to be ...

The girl right in front of her was none other than his colleague, Jeon, that he had a major crush on for the past 10 years. Being the cowardly him, he never once mustered the courage to confess, neither did she seem to want to talk to him. How is it possible that she is talking to him right now?

Jeon was wearing a full white suit, flaunting her amazing body shape as well and her perfect complexion. On her suit was a badge with the number '1707'.

Thinking it was a dream, Jim tapped, pinched, slapped and even punched himself. However, he did not feel any pain and he did not even sustain any injuries at all.

"Why am i not suffering any injuiries?"

Jim muttered under his breath.

"That is because you are still in your introductory phase, in this phase, you will be immune to any physical damages your body suffer"

Jeon politely replied.

Jim was taken aback when he recieved a reply. Trying his luck, he asked again

"Are you Jeon Mye"

"I am a humanoid mimicking your heart's most favourable person. I am your permanent personal assistant from now till the very end"

"Am i even awake right now? Where... Where am i"

"Yes and no. According to your normal definition of awake, you are not definitely not awake. However, you are awake in this world and sleeping in the other. This is the parallel universe to your known world, and it is only activated when you are asleep."

"Ermmm.... Just get me out of here please. I beg you"

"Sure thing, please say these words: ' Good Morning' "

" hmm... Good Morning?"

Before Jim knew it, he was....

"Good Morning"

Jim looked around and realised that nothing has changed, the same white surroundings were getting more and more irksome.

" Good morning, good morning, gooooddddd morninggggggg!!!!"

Nothing happened. The Jeon-look-alike was still right in front of him, making him frustrated but unable to vent it out (cause she reallyy look so pretty oh my god) .

"Mr Jim, to transit to your 'own reality', you will need to close your eyes and mutter good morning before you drift off to 'sleep'"

Right after she said that, she clapped her hands and a bed rose up in front of Jim's feet from the floor.

"Cant you have said that in the first place?" he murmured.

He lay down on the bed, as he felt his body sinking down the soft mattress, he felt his eyelids getting heavier. He slowly drifted to sleep and right before he did, he muttered under his breath

"Good Morning"

A flicker of bright light entered Jim's head, he flinched subconsciously and opened his eyes. Lights blinded him immediately, forcing him to shut his eyes again. A familiar alarm sound rang beside him, causing him to come to a realisation

"I am back? "

He slowly took in his surroundings, it was his blue room, with blue table, blue computer, blue piano, blue bolster, blue pillow and blue fan. This was definitely his room. Then what was the thing that happened? His encounter with Jeon Mye who was not Jeon Mye but looked exactly like Jeon Mye. Was it a dream? No it shouldnt be. As he was doubting himself, he took a glimpse at the blue wall clock, shit.

He threw on his work clothes, grabbed a bagpack, threw everything that was around him into his bag, his portable charger, earpiece and some coins before sprinting out of the house.

Jim was really late. Like late AGAIN.

" The next time you are late, YOU WILL...."

Boss Chen's words fell to deaf ears as Jim eyes became fixated on the angelic being walking out of the pantry. Jeon Mye gave a little nod in Jim direction, enough for him to be happy for the rest of the day.

Swiftly brushing off his boss final warnings, he settled into his own office desk. As he slouch forward on his desk thinking, he was abruptly interrupted.

" Oi Jim, how was your visit to the temple yesterday?"

Hyun was peeping over his booth and started questioning Jim.

Hyun had been Jim's friend since they were in primary school and literally were bullied together all the way till today.

"Nothing much happened, just praying to get a girlfriend lol"

" You are talking about Jeon again arent you? It's impossible for you to get her man, take a look at yourself!"

"Says you lol"

But it was true. Jim was just an average, no, below average kind of guy. He was just a normal diploma holder working at a tech design company. He wasn't rich, neither was he good looking. In addition to that, he also did not have any connections with the higher ups. Sighing heavily, he went to the vending machine for a cup of coffee.

CLINK

He picked up the coin from the coin dispensary area and placed it back in again

CLINK

CLINK

CLINK

... What the heck is wrong with this coin...

CLINK

Jim picked it up and took a closer look. The number 1707 were engraved on the coin itself and on the back were the words

'AWAKENING'

Transition with

'Good Morning, Goodnight'

His hands trembled at the sight of the coin. It wasnt a dream. There is really a world out there.

The day passed quickly as he did not focus on his work, but rather questions that he wanted to ask the Jeon-look-alike.

What is this place?

Why does my body feels like that?

Does that mean there are 1706 others before me?

Do i get any superpowers?

Can i summon a genie and make three wishes or some sort?

And most importantly,

What makes me different?

" Hey Hyun, im leaving first, got something going on later"

" You loser have something going on??"

" Yep, THIS loser gotta go man, bye see you tomorrow!"

Jim flicked his backpack over his shoulders, with the coin in his hand, and ran home.

Reaching home, he unlocked and yanked open his small rented apartment, flipping away his shoes, he dashed to his bed. He flopped onto it.

"Take me away"

And he closed his eyes... Opening to realise he was still where he is.

"Humanoid 1707 come and bring me backkk!"

"Save meee"

"Jeon-look-alike im hereeeee"

Urghh, nothing happened, he stood up after trying for 30 minites and started walking around. Feeling frustrated, he took out the 1707 coin and started tossing it, believing it definitely was not a dream. Unintentionally, he saw the back of the coin again.

That's it!

He hoped back to his bed and got ready to sleep and right before he drifted to sleep,

"Good Night"

A familiar white streak of light passed through his head. When he woke up, he saw the humanoid right before his eyes and grinned.

"Welcome back, Mr Jim. Your..."

"Call me Jim will do"

"Jim, your body now should feel exactly the same as your other world now"

Hearing this, he hoped around and swang his arms around. Hmm, now my body feels more adapted.

" Hey, erm humanoid, what do i call you?"

" Anything you wish Jim"

" Hmm, i shall call Jeony instead then"

" What is the difference between this world and my normal world?"

" In this world, skills also known as talents are developed or in rare cases, are already present when the baby is born. Skills will vary between people to people, and no two will be the same, like fingerprint"

"Wait, there are babies born here? What do you mean?"

"Like from the world you came from, in this world, the same thing happens. People have sexual intercourse and babies are delivered. Everyone in the world you know are also in this world as well. The only difference would be if they are ever awakened or not which in most cases they will not be. For example, like your best friend, Hyun, he is also alive and breathing in this world as well. However, he is unable to connect both worlds together."

Jim needed time to take in all of this information and started strolling around the white space.

" So do people grow old here and die as well? "

" Of course they do"

" When you mentioned about skills, do i have any?"

" Of course you do, maybe even more than your parents"

Jim stopped in his tracks.

He had always been an orphan.

Hyun and Jim both were from the same orphanage after Jim lost his parents in primary school first year. This explained why both of them had strong sense of camaraderie between them. Jim had no recollection of his parents at all except stories from the orphanage in charge who were very good friends with his parents. At least thats what he said. He just knew that both were renowned doctors in their respective fields.

" What do you mean when you said my parents? What do you know about them?"

Jim asked gravely.

" Your parents were the elders of the Monarch, the government leading the whole of this world, both of them possesed talents that classified them as the Heaven's tier, second highest in the ten tiers."

Jim couldnt help but started stammering his next question.

" Thenn... Thenn.. Are.. Are they still alive? "

" Like the world you are from, once someone dies, they will too here. And vice versa. However the way they die might be different. In this world, eighteen years ago, they were assassinated and no clues were left about the murderer. "

He stood there in disbelief, so the car crash that he was told to believe had a cause and it was because of what had happened in this world.

" Would you like to have a small tour here of this world? "

Jim briefly nodded his head and multiple luminous displays lit up, surrounding him.

" Major events that happened in your world, some are caused by this world and others that are caused by your world have left a devastating effect too on this world. "

" For example, World War 1 and 2 were war initiated from your world and have left humongous impacts over here as well, 125 million of people were found dead, in which Monarch pushed the blame to a contagious deathly virus, so as to prevent people who are not awakened to start questioning"

" Why are those who are not awakened not allow to know the presence of my world?"

" Over the past few years, Monarch has been attempting to do so, trying countless of experiments, resulting in countless of casualties as well. When people are informed that there is a second parallel world out there, they either brush it off and walk away, or they will start to believe and as their mind in the other world is not aware yet, this places too much of a stress on the brain, causing them to suffer irreparable brain damage.
