Prince-Origin-01
In the cocoon of unconsciousness, Prince found himself ensnared within the mysterious grip of an unfamiliar realm. A dark room, illuminated solely by the ethereal glow of a single window, unfolded before his bewildered eyes. Uncertainty gripped him as he wrestled with the unknown that lay ahead. Abruptly, the door creaked open, casting its radiant light upon five figures who emerged from the shadows.

The five men drew near, their presence ominous and unsettling. In hushed tones, they declared that the moment had arrived for Prince to reckon with the debts he had incurred. Confusion clouded Prince's face as he vehemently denied any knowledge of such debts. In response, the men's voices crescendoed, accusing Prince of being the catalyst for their plight.

A sudden surge of light revealed the men's true forms, monstrous and otherworldly. An unearthly chill gripped Prince's heart, for he had never encountered beings so alien to his reality. Fear threaded its tendrils through him, leaving him paralyzed and struggling to comprehend the surreal circumstances unfolding.

Prince's voice, once assertive, now trembled as he confronted the men's accusations. Their whispered conversations hinted at a forgotten past, leaving Prince grappling with fragmented memories and cryptic revelations. A somber elder stepped forth, bearing the weight of their collective narrative. He disclosed a parallel world, akin to Earth, where beings thrived in harmony, their civilization far surpassing human advancements. Yet, their hubris led to their undoing, a cautionary tale humanity was destined to relive.

As the elder recounted their shared history, Prince's mind roiled with questions. He demanded answers to his role in their downfall and the nature of the beings before him. In a poignant twist, it was revealed that Prince had shared a unique bond with these beings. He was born into their world, bestowed with kindness and intelligence that made him beloved. However, an inexplicable change had manifested within Prince, driving him down an unforeseen path.

In a chilling confession, Prince learned that he was the harbinger of their calamity. His actions, cloaked in kindness, had inadvertently sown the seeds of devastation. He who controlled their civilization's fate had faltered, succumbing to a cascade of errors that led to their demise.

Amidst the truth-telling, emotions erupted. One of the men wept, his anguish mirroring the shared pain that Prince's actions had inflicted. The elder's voice, laden with grief, castigated Prince for the suffering he had wrought upon their world. In an act of cruel irony, the being who held the power to shape destinies had allowed his world to crumble.

The elder's health faltered, and Ruhk assumed the mantle of storyteller. The narrative expanded, revealing a profound connection between Ruhk and Prince. Their lives had intersected as classmates and best friends, their destinies entwined in the classroom of Merey, a realm akin to Prince's school.

As Ruhk recounted their intertwined past, a revelation cascaded forth – Prince's own life held echoes of his otherworldly counterpart. The day Prince met a wounded boy and was struck from behind echoed in both worlds. The same event had plunged Prince into this parallel existence, shrouded in mystery and consequence.

A twist of fate linked both worlds, their destinies poised on a precipice. Prince's questions spiraled, unraveling the truth of their connection and the looming responsibility he must shoulder. A single word – "Merey" – remained a puzzle, a thread connecting the enigma to his reality.

The encroaching night called the tale to a halt, the beings' voices fading as they conceded the hour was late. Reality beckoned, and Prince was left to grapple with his newfound knowledge. Ideyl's voice urged Prince's return, his family's worry transcending dimensions.

As the ethereal encounter concluded, Prince found himself deposited near his home. His father's frantic arrival led to a hasty trip to the hospital. The diagnosis bore both relief and weight – a wound near his forebrain had been staunchly bandaged, but Prince's journey was far from over.
