Anima: What happened?

The last Anima could remember was being knocked out after the Betrayer had disappeared.

Anima: Well now I'm a dream walker. That shit was crazy. What an experience.

The advancement to godhood? That's what Anima heard to become a god. But what did it mean to become a god? Anima did not understand what the "Betrayer" meant by becoming a god. All he knew was that if what he was saying was true, he would have to level up to the highest he could go. That's what he understood. To become a god. The only way to become a god is to "Pretend" to be one? "The Pretender Method" Apparently, it takes thousands of years to level up, but what was the "Pretender Method"? He didn't get it, but what Anima did understand was that this meant trouble. In order to meet his mother, he had to "become a god." These were questions he must ask Mr. Arakin. He was probably the most knowledgeable in this information. But the Betrayer's real name was something he had to be careful with. He could not tell it to anyone else. He did not want to hide information, but for now, he needed to keep the figure and his trials a secret. He could not afford for the people close to him to die. The rest of the trials. What did the Betrayer mean by saying if he did the rest of the trials, this would already be over? He didn't get it.

Anima: I'm back here in this white room this time. No figure calling out to him.

Anima had to think what he needed going forward. What is it that he wanted? What should he do? How much should he say?

Before Anima could focus on any of that,

Anima: What I need is...

Anima: A fucking break is what I need, oh Lord.

Anima: That was a lot.

Anima: Anyways, am I dreaming right now or like what the fuck am I doing?

Anima: How do I get outtttttttttttttttttttttt?

Anima shouted into the void white room.

Vera and Eros: ANIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELLO????????

Anima: Huh, the fuck?

Eros: HEY LOSER CAN YOU HEAR USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS???

Anima: Fuck you, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

Vera: ANIMA ARE YOU OKAY?

Eros and Vera were both shouting at Anima as they were trying to wake him up.

Eros: HEY LOSER, WHERE BOTH AT YOUR HOUSE, IM GONNA GO INTO YOUR CLOSET IF YOU DONT WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Anima with an annoyed expression,

Anima: This bitch.

ANIMA: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAN YOU HEAR ME????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Anima then saw a portal of light open up in the white room.

Anima: I can always count on the goat Mr. Arakin.

Anima with a happy face walked towards the portal and entered it.

Anima: Betrayer, we will meet again.

Anima woke up. The current date was October 2nd, 2050. It was 1 PM.

Three days had passed since he finished his trial.

Anima moved up and cleared his eyes.

Anima: Hello?

Vera quickly rushed and hugged Anima.

Anima blushed.

Vera: You're finally awake.

Anima: Yeah.

Eros: Look at who finally woke up.

Eros and Anima both smiled at each other.

Mr. Arakin: Glad you're well, Anima.

Anima: Is my dad at work right now?

Mr. Arakin: Yes, we already informed him that we are here.

Eros and Vera sat there patiently.

Mr. Arakin: It's been a whole three days since you were out.

Anima: A whole three days, shit. I probably got a shit ton of work to do then.

Mr. Arakin: It's fine. I already told the principal your situation.

Anima: Thanks, you're a lifesaver.

Mr. Arakin: Hahahahaha, no problem.

Mr. Arakin: So...?

Anima: Hm?

Mr. Arakin: How was it?

Anima: How was what?

Eros: You really are slow in the head. He's talking about The Trials.

Vera was joyfully laughing.

Vera: Cut him a break, he just woke up.

Anima: Yeah, Eros.

Mr. Arakin: So...?

Anima: Oh, it was okay, I guess. The trials did surprise me. It definitely felt real, that's for sure.

Vera: Yeah, it was scary.

Eros: I will admit it was tough. It really felt like it was trying to destroy your soul. I'm surprised, Anima. You did well.

Anima: Thanks, Eros.

Anima: Well, um, like should I share our trial experiences or some shit? What do we do now?

Mr. Arakin: That's all up to you. Now that you're a new dream walker, it's going to be two weeks before you start your first mission, but if there's anything you like to share, you guys can, but I suggest you share it at our camping trip next week!

Eros, Anima, and Vera with surprised faces on their faces.

Eros, Anima, and Vera: WHAT!

Mr. Arakin: That's right. We have a camping trip next week, and tomorrow we're going to go around town, you guys.

Anima: Well, I needed a much-needed break anyway, so I'm fine.

Eros: Sounds fun.

Vera: Yay!

Everyone looked joyful.

Mr. Arakin: Anyways, Anima, anything you want to share?

Anima with a very nervous face.

How much should he share? He felt like it was right for Eros and Vera, after all, they were extremely close, but how much does he share? How much is safe to share? He didn't want to put them in harm's way, but Anima decided if he was going to do this, he couldn't do it alone. He should tell them how much he thought was right. That was Anima was going to share.

Anima: Well, for starters, do you guys know what the pretender method is?

Mr. Arakin had a curious face.

Vera and Eros had very confused faces.

Mr. Arakin: The pretender method, huh?

Vera: What does that mean?

Eros: Care to elaborate?

Anima: It's a method where you "pretend" to be a god to get favors to level up faster because doesn't it usually take thousands of years to level up?

Mr. Arakin: You're correct. It does take thousands of years to level up, but I can't say what you mean by that.

Eros: Oh, well, me and Vera are going to go home now.

Mr. Arakin: Then I'll take my leave as well.

Vera: Bye, Anima. See you in call tonight.

Eros: See you there, loser.

Anima: WAIT! There's one more thing.

Eros, Vera, and Mr. Arakin with confused faces.

Anima: I met him.

Eros: Huh? What are you talking about?

Mr. Arakin: Wait, you aren't saying...

Vera: Anima...?

Anima: The man who wings are painted black, whose hair is blue.

Vera, Eros, and Mr. Arakin's faces quickly went from confused to shocked.

Anima: ...The Betrayer.
