   "Where is it ? Where is- found it!"
I said as soon as I found this book. "The color of magic" by Terry Pratchett. A beautiful book I started reading a few days ago. I spend all my time at the library reading books, since it's the only thing I can do. Ain't got no house. Ain't got no fambly. The only thing I have is my eighteen years of living, and this library. The owner let me read here since I was a kiddo and in exchange I had to clean at night. Reading became a part of my life. I almost read all of the books in here even those considered as bloody. I love to read, I don't even know how I knew how to, in fact I just think the earth gave me this present so I can have a reason to live.

"You can't map a sense of humor. Anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which There Be Dragons? On the Discworld we know that There Be Dragons Everywhere. They might not all have scales and forked tongues, but they Be Here all right, grinning and jostling and trying to sell you souvenirs."
                 Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

   "What a book!" I said. It was almost midnight. Ain't never been up at this hour, but I don't want no sleep right now. I started reading while walking around the library.

"Sometimes I think a man could wander across the disc all his life and not see everything there is to see,' said Twoflower. 'And now it seems there are lots of other worlds as well. When I think I might die without seeing a hundredth of all there is to see it makes me feel,' he paused, then added, 'well, humble, I suppose. And very angry, of course."

As I was walking around I saw a place ain't seen anytime in this library.
   "New books" I guessed. I tried to pull out one. There wasn't no thing written on and in this book.
   "What kind of bloody hell is this"
I take a quick look at the book wall. I looked at where I pull out this one, I could see something behind it. I started pulling out all of the books. It ain't got no problems since I'm the one cleaning. I pulled out and pulled out, books and books, more and more. Now I had a door in front of me.
   "What in the world a door would be there" I was astonished. Did everyone hide me this or did no one knew? I was confused... but... curious. I knocked at the door. No response. I tried to look into the locker. Nothing.
   "Well let's open it"
I grabbed the door handle and opened this door. An explosion of glitters came into my face. Light and sparkles everywhere. Everything was so beautiful...
   "Hello! How did you get there?"
Here, a guy. He was very tall with long legs and beautiful purple hair.
   "I don't know...Where am I?"
   "Ohh... so you must come from the human world..."
   "Yes! Wait- may I ask who YOU are"
   "Oh! I'm Haechan" He had a smile on his face.
   "Nice to meet you..."
   "Y/n" i said confidently.
   "What a name !"
   "What with my name?"
   "Ain't got nothing, no worries. Now explain to me what are you doing here and how did you get in."
   "Well, don't know... I just bumped into that door and it made me came here without my consent."
   "Yeah well you are here in Eaglarath"
   "Eagla- wait this ain't on earth...i don't know, I never read about this place before"
   "You are on earth, it's just the part of the earth your people don't know."

I started to look around me. There were flowers and sparkles everywhere. And it was so so so bright, and the sky was even brighter.
   "Am I in heaven?" Haechan laughed after hearing this.
   "I've read that word in your books but what is even that thing you call heaven?"
   "Well I don't really know but I guess it ain't there... wait so that means you ain't got any gods in here?"  I questioned. Haechan looked down on me to see the book I had in my arms.
   "Oh you are reading The Color Of Magic,
A very great book actually."
   "Oh so you read?"
   "Of course I told you I've read about heaven. So you think we don't got any gods?"
   "I mean you ain't got no heaven so..."
   "Well, everyone has gods. You just don't think they're gods."
   "Oh it's from-"
   "From the book yeah. Do you want to see something extraordinary in here?"
   "Hum... i don't know..."
   "Let me help you visit Eaglarath!" He said while jumping around.
   "Well if you want but I guess I will to close the-" I looked back to close the door but there weren't any.
   "Where's the door?"
   "What door?"
   "The- well."
   "Let's go?" He smiled and gave his hand.
   "Okay..." I grabbed his hand following him like I knew where we're going.
   "My pleasure."
