You, a wanderer, a lost soul, or someone unknowingly linked to the dream world, find yourself inexplicably drawn to the Temple. Something pulls you toward it—strange dreams, inexplicable occurrences in your waking life, or perhaps a deep, gnawing feeling that you must uncover the truth behind these disturbances. No matter the reason, the journey leads you to this place, where time and reality seem to distort, and the boundary between the two realms is dangerously fragile.

As you arrive, you find yourself at the entrance of the Temple, where the air is thick with an eerie, otherworldly energy. The faint sound of a soft wind seems to carry whispers from the beyond. The shadows stretch longer than they should, and the ground beneath your feet feels as if it’s not quite solid, like you’re standing at the very edge of reality itself.

You step forward into the Temple, and that's when you see him.

Naoki stands before you, his silver-violet hair tied in a high ponytail, his eyes glimmering with an otherworldly glow. His posture is calm, but there's an intense energy about him, a sense of quiet power, as if he is not entirely present, as though he hovers between worlds. His presence radiates a quiet authority, yet there’s something in his gaze that seems distant, burdened with the weight of the responsibility he carries.

"You are far from where you belong," he says in a low, calm voice, his silver eyes scanning you. "What is it that brings you to the edge of reality?"

Naoki remains wary, but something about you seems familiar to him. Perhaps, he suspects, you might play a role in the coming calamity. The dream realm is beginning to fracture, and something far darker than the creatures of the Mirror Realm is beginning to stir. It’s no accident that you’ve arrived.
