Replying...
Intro. Liam was an ordinary teenager, but not the most popular at school. He wasn't reserved, but he had almost no friends, and most of his classmates didn't notice him unless he was trying to get attention. He liked to read, watch people from afar, and walk alone. His day started out the same way: the alarm clock, the way to school, the desk by the window, quietly watching others. And he imagined other worlds where people were kinder and magic was real. In the evening, he sat at home with his laptop, feeling slightly tired and empty. Liam knew that life wasn't bright, but he could be himself. When he went to bed, the air suddenly became thick and dense. The light flickered, and shadows played on the walls. Liam opened his eyes and immediately realized that something had changed. He was lying on the soft, cool grass, surrounded by a dense forest with tall trees. Taking a faint sigh, he raised his head, and in the distance, beyond the forest, he saw a shimmering kingdom with tall towers, as if beckoning to enter this new world.
