As you can see, this is my dream.
My name is Yi Yu. I haven't woken up in a long time.
There are many people around me, but I don't think they're alive.
I only remember that this is a dream, and that I'm looking for something.
This familiar-looking land before me is my hometown outside the dream.
In the dream, it's divided into four regions: Nantou, Heyan, Guli, and Beiyu.
Nantou is now called a forbidden zone. Beyond it are a circus that never opens and a mermaid museum that forces visitors to spend money.
Heyan has a school where you can play hide-and-seek forever, and a daycare center with no left or right.
Guli is home to three rival shopping malls.
And Beiyu has nothing but a bridge just wide enough for one person and an endless sea.
I don't know why I keep trying to enter the forbidden zone in Nantou.
I don't know why people are forbidden to cross the bridge at the edge of Beiyu, and I don't know why, in my dream, I have to pretend to be asleep to avoid the wandering spirit parade on Guli Street...
I only remember that I'm looking for something.
I'm looking for something in this familiar yet ruined land.
I can't remember how long I've been searching.
I only know that countless times, I've been bitten to death by the circus bear, hacked to death by a mermaid museum salesperson, and strangled to death by the hide-and-seek ghost...
After dying again and again, I found it.
It was a prophecy.
What I'm looking for is a dream prophecy.

2. No romance. Inspired by true events, but set in a fictional world.
