In one instance, many things happened.
Multi-colored radiance escaped from her Dreamon Ball covering every single part of her Dream Instance, and when that was not enough, Hannah sensed the multi-colored light of her Great Dream ascending into a Grand Dream escape from the very walls of her dream house where she had lived in for the second half of her life right before she Awakened.
As such, Hannah instantly understood that her Dream Instance had finally outlived its purpose.
With that understanding, she noted its purpose unraveling as well, therefore, by the time the multi-colored radiance reached its peak in both radiance and distance, there was no house in her perception.
There was only her, her Dreamon Ball and the Dreamon which just came into existence within it.
However, as lonely as it felt, Hannah noted a magnifying sensation of liberation as well, because the true HER was no longer bound by a simple house, even if that house was four times bigger than her current residence. No, Hannah became a free spirit, able to roam the wide world existing around her. Perhaps even further since Hannah sensed she could simply leave the world which had borne her in order to visit everything existing beyond it, to experience any and all types of adventure she wanted. Only, as strong as that freedom felt, parts of Hannah reminded her that while she could indeed choose to be a free spirit and wander the Cosmos, it also meant she would be leaving behind everything, including one of the major reasons as to why she even braved the Monster stalking her dreams before the other truths revealed just who and what she was.
Yes… There was still her mother who took care of her while she gestated within her cocoon, like a caterpillar trying to evolve into a beautiful butterfly.
Yes… Her mother no doubt waited… no… needed to hear the big news.
Yes… Her Awakening did not just represent her own attainment of freedom, but her mothers as well. So, in this very moment of unequaled liberation, Hannah made the conscious choice to forgo her complete liberation, at least for the time being because her freedom was undeniable and unquestionable.
As such, with the choice made, Hannah felt herself fall from this moment of liberation into an imperfect vessel which had carried her unborn self all this time, like an egg which had spawned eyes, ears, a nose, and a mouth alongside the needed hands and legs to facilitate the acquisition of Experience in favor of speeding up the process of Hatching.
Yes, there was no denying this fact at this very moment.
Hannah’s physical body was but a Shell protecting the precious gestating embryo that was True Hannah. However, now that she had Hatched, the Shell became the imperfect vessel that would enable her freedom of action on Gaia.
Yes… Processing the instinctual knowledge her Insight was feeding her Logic, Hannah understood the truth of her situation.
With the Truth there in plain sight, Hannah opened her eyes to stare at the world before her. It was both familiar and unfamiliar because it was the very same ceiling she had seen in the last five years, and yet it was also more. Though, what exactly constituted more, Hannah was clueless about right this very moment. Neither did it matter since Hannah had more pressing matters. Namely, delivering the liberating news to her mother. Only, the moment Hannah uprighted her body, her brown eyes instantly noted something red on the floor beside the couch on which she had laid down hours prior, or however much it had taken for her to Awaken to the Truth.
Craning her neck down, Hannah discovered that the red was actually a shirt on the very person she had meant to find as she rested on the hard floor.
No.
Rested was not the right word, Hannah realized. It was the wrong word because of the posture her mother laid in. Yes, the way her hands were splayed about, the right shoulder pressed on the floor and her neck looking like there was no tension all while being somewhat twisted displayed that her mother had not laid down through her own actions.
No… The way it looked to Hannah, it seemed that her mother had, at one point, been taking care of her as she was undergoing her Awakening. With that realization, Hannah looked around a bit more and noticed a somewhat wet rag. With the white rag in sight, Hannah was instantly reminded of something else. Something that was more of an impression after the Virtual Template Input process for her Dreamon Ball.
Ignoring the somewhat wet white rag, Hannah focused her brown eyes on her mother before noticing something else.
Something that was invisible yet there, intangible yet viscous, cladding her mother from head to toe.
No… Further than that! Hannah noted in her head before focusing on that something.
When she did, she discovered that that very something was all around her mother, for like a meter or so. Maybe even more because that very something thinned out right around that one meter mark yet her impression was that it did not vanish completely. But then, as Hannah examined that something even further, vanish turned out to be the wrong description as well. Yes. From what her perception told her, it was closer to that something becoming integrated into something else, thus becoming one with that something.
Flexing her Soul even further, specifically the Insight part of her Soul, Hannah sought an answer, and an answer she found when her Logic processed what her Insight delivered. The answer she uncovered was primarily held within her knowledge about Dream Instance creation, but there was also a mention of it during that very first recording she watched of her father’s ghost.
“Veil of Ignorance!” Hannah voiced out before quickly bringing up the knowledge her father had given her. “The barrier isolating and protecting Non-Awakeners… No… Now that I have gone through it, I know better. The Veil of Ignorance is a barrier isolating and protecting the Un-Hatched from the Truth of their current existence to facilitate a proper hatching environment within… my… world… my Realm.
No… Realm is not the right term either.
Rift…
Yes, a Rift… Gaia’s Rift!
Yes… Yes, that's it!
Gaia’s Rift, also named Gaia’s Womb, which is in truth a high-end nursery facilitating the Hatching of countless individuals throughout all the different Layers making up its existence, and just moments ago, I… chose to remain on one of these Layers.”
Processing the Truth lying within her memories and lying right before, Hannah had this sudden notion of something not being right, even though the Logic behind it was entirely factual in her mind. “Does… Does this mean, I am now technically older than my own mother?” Struggling with the Logic for a moment, yet not finding an immediate answer within her memories, Hannah shook her head before setting it aside to finally settle her mind on the more important thing.
Namely figuring why her mother looked like she had suddenly collapsed.
----------------------------------------
Luckily, Hannah had no need to panic as her Insight whispered her mothers Shell not being in any immediate danger.
“Feels… weird thinking of her body as a Shell.” Hannah murmured before kneeling beside her mother and pushed on her left shoulder to nudge her into a less strenuous resting position, namely her back.
Once that was done, Hannah quickly remembered the basic first aid training given to all first years in P.E class because, apparently, you never knew when one might need it. Nevertheless, as Hannah recalled it, there was a clarity which had never existed prior to her Awakening.
This fact intrigued her, because it made Hannah feel as if she had just gone through the basics of first aid training.
Shaking away the sensations, Hannah checked her mother’s pulse and breathing rhythm, the iris dilution of her amber eyes. The result? Well, according to her basic first aid knowledge, there did not appear anything wrong, at all, since her mother’s irises reacted properly to light stimuli all while her breath and pulse remained steady.
If an anomaly had to be taken into account then the slowed breathing rhythm and pulse could be attributed to sleep, after all, that was what occurred while one slept.
“Should I call an ambulance?” Hannah asked herself before simply dismissing it. “No… Too expensive. Besides…. She’s fine. I think… No… I know, somehow. Yes… Mother will be fine after a nap. Though… Do I leave her here just in case or…” Stopping there, Hannah tried flexing her Insight more, to find more answers, however, it worked in the first place.
Only, what she got in return was more of the same.
Her mother was fine.
That being the case, Hannah stood up to get her mother inside the soft blankets inside the bedroom, but as it turned out, Awakening had done nothing to increase the strength rating of her Shell, as such, she was still a somewhat underdeveloped teen even if her True Self was so much more.
Trying one more type by grabbing her mother by the arms and dragging her on the floor, Hannah stopped after barely managing to move her mother a tiny bit.
“Hnng… Too weak. ” Nodding at her useless strength, Hannah placed her mother’s arms back on her stomach and simply left her there. Instead, she sat back on the couch and went through everything that had occurred to her while Awakening, plus everything that had led to it.
Like that, the moments passed as Hannah went through everything.
From the start to the finish.
During the process, a few other revelations reached her, but they were not significant as far she could guess. Though that could change after she learned more about the Dreamer Society and what it truly meant to be one because, right now, she was a bit lost on what to do. Oh, she had an idea on what she should do right this very moment, but anything beyond that was hidden. No, the only thing that truly reached and concerned her mind was the debt her father left behind since that very debt appeared to be far more than a simple monetary debt.
That fact was undeniable after having gone through what she had just done.
“Yes… First will be settling the debt. After that? Mmm… I will think about it when the time comes.”
Agreeing with herself for the moment, Hannah focused on the things that she should do right in this very moment. As such, the very first thing she did was to call on her Grand Dream and its very first Ability, her Dreamon Ball.
With that as the goal, Hannah remembered the sensations discovered right after Awakening/Hatching. Just like it had taken a few times inside her Dream Sanctum, this time as well, it took her a few attempts to successfully activate her First Ability. Better said, after four attempts, the pink ball decorated with black and white clouds manifested within her right hand.
“Hmm?” Observing the pink Dreamon Ball, Hannah noted a slight difference to it. Nothing major. But the colors seemed heavier all while the texture of the ball felt sharper. “Wait… The colors could be from the Grand Dream. The texture, though? No… I think that comes from the Shell, from the body I am in. Yes… it's the difference in how my Shell is interpreting everything compared to how my Dream Body did.”
“Mmm… Perhaps there is more to it.”
Setting aside the sensations her flesh was giving her, Hannah dismissed her Dreamon Ball, or at least she tried because the Dreamon Ball refused to return to her Soul. Thankfully, an answer was readily available through her Insight. Her Insight hinted at a simple fact. Namely, while her Dreamon Ball could be manifested within Gaia’s Rift, the same could not be said for its de-manifestation because Hannah’s First Ability actually contained something living. Were it empty, it would be of no concern, but since it was not, it could not return to her Soul.
No, it actually had to be carried like any other tool instead of the Tool that it was.
“Annoying!”
Thankfully, that same hint hinted at the fact that there was a workaround somewhere, she just had to figure it out.
Shaking her head at the slight annoyance, Hannah left the pink ball on the small table before her in favor of focusing on the other items residing within her Soul, namely her D-Card and the strange Envelope she could not open.
Just like with the Dreamon Ball, it took a few times for both items to appear in her right hand, with the D-Card having an easier time leaving her Soul. After placing the Envelope from the Champion’s Association on the table beside her Dreamon Ball, Hannah focused all of her attention on her D-Card.
However, before she activated it, she noticed a small difference to it. Nothing major as well, but after it manifested in her right hand, Hannah examined it for a second through different angles, and that was when she noticed the stylized picture or drawing existing on the backside of her D-Card.
A picture of her, wearing a very simplified version of her school uniform only with brown and pink undertones to it. Nothing special there. But what made the picture unique was the fact that she was not alone in it. No, a somewhat pink creature floated beside her sporting three small tentacles and a large blue eye.
Still, that was not all.
At the bottom of the picture a small dark ribbon existed and within that black ribbon one word was written with bold white letters, Novice.
Below the word Novice, twenty simple white bordered star shapes existed. Thanks to the contrast between the white border of the stars and the black background of the ribbon they appeared to be drawn on, the stars gave off a hollow feeling, a hollow feeling that made one desire them to be filled as each star represented something significant.
Taking in the picture, a few facts clicked to her. Facts reminded her of just why her D-Card possessed the word card in it. However, in the end, while it was an interesting thing to see, in the grand scheme of things, it was a useless thing.
That being the case, Hannah turned the D-Card around before swiftly tapping the screen twice to activate its primary functions.
----------------------------------------
The moment the main screen lit up, Hannah witnessed an ever revolving circle curling around itself. Having seen it before, Hannah let it be for a moment to finish whatever it was doing. Then, when it vanished, the main screen appeared with a hexagon, six icons and the rotating swirl of black and white clouds around a central point, only where before there use to be nothing within that central point, now a small circle existed, and within that circle, an anvil-like icon existed.
Seeing the anvil-icon, Hannah had this sudden urge to press it, and with nothing indicating otherwise, she did.
In an instant, new screens manifested and told of a message, of a notification.
“Ah!”
Naturally, there was more to it because, in one fell swoop, Hannah felt herself or better said, her Soul swell.
Just like it had done so right before she finalized the alignment of her Soul to achieve Awakening/Hatching. It was as if the anvil-like icon opened up some kind of floodgates within her Soul, only, this time, there was no danger involved to her. Instead, the swelling increased marginally before collapsing in on itself and actually condensing into a single point of origin.
Once it was at that point, a transformation occurred, thereby transmuting the raw energy which filled Hannah’s Soul into something appetizing from mare sensations, and by appetizing, it meant something extremely addicting, because that refined energy split into three variants.
The first variant simply dispersed all over Hannah’s Soul with desire to fill every gap it could find, and it would do so with time. Hannah was sure about that. Nonetheless, it would take another nineteen infusions of that variant energy for that to happen.
Similar to the first one, the second one also desired to fill something within her, only this one resonated with six targets instead of her Soul in general. However, what made this one special was the fact that despite her desire to fill one of those six targets, the variant energy was held at bay by something, as if a barrier existed between it and its six targets. Luckily, it took but a moment for Hannah to understand the truth. This second energy variant represented Free Stats Points just awaiting her conscious allocation. Nevertheless, sensing these Free Stat Points within her Soul, and recognizing that they had six targets instead of five, Hannah instantly understood their true nature as Special Action Points.
Such being the case, the third energy could only be one thing, an Ability Point.
The way it targeted the Grand Dream housed within her Soul. Specifically speaking, the First Ability Slot within her Soul, thus confirmed Hannah’s understanding of what had just occurred to her. Nonetheless, just like the Special Action Points, this third variant energy was also held at bay since it required Hannah’s conscious input.
After that, things settled down in Hannah’s Soul, and all that was left was to read through the Level Up notifications appearing on her D-Card.

Many words were displayed, little was said, but the most important one was extremely obvious to Hannah.
“You can Awaken/Hatch without a Dream Instance?”
Having posited the question into thin air, all Hannah received back was nothing but more speculations because her father had not mentioned this fact. Still, the other thing her mind settled on was the partial failure written on the screen regarding the HardCore Difficulty Challenge, and if Hannah’s conclusion was right, it had to do with her attempting to overcome her Nightmare without Leveling up, and therefore without any Stats allocation occuring or any Ability Points being spent.
Yes, this too was not something Hannah had been told about either, but right after she Hatched, and right before she had been about to pick up her D-Card laying on her father’s office desk, a thought had struck her that maybe there was more to the Hard Awakening Difficulty Challenge. That was why Hannah ultimately forgoed allocating her Stats and Ability Point in favor of testing out her hypothesis by relying on the knowledge that it was not possible for her to be hurt within her Dream Instance unless she allowed it to be so.
However, noticing the partial failure noted on the screen, Hannah wondered just where she had failed in that Challenge, because it was obvious that she had succeeded at it partially.
Quickly going over that very brief period of time, it came to her. “Oh… The Challenge succeeded partially because I had not allocated my Stats and Ability Points before attempting the capture, yet it failed partially because I reduced the difficulty by regaining my inherent control of the Dream Instance. Therefore, without the struggle needed for the capturing process, I earned much less Experience for the capturing process.”
Nodding at the Logic, Hannah examined the System Alert one last time. As such, a part of her mind also settled on one of the positive modifiers, namely, Genesis Soul. Nevertheless, trying to tap onto the word failed to prop an explanation for her. So with no other choice, Hannah pressed the only indicated virtual button, thus causing the screen to flicker and something else to replace it.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!

Congratulations User; Hannah Blackwood. You have earned the following rewards;

“Forty one?” Hannah uttered out with a surprised tone, only, a moment later, a frown reached her face because she had no idea if that was a lot, or not, for what she had gone through.
However, remembering the Negative Experience Modifiers, she was certain that there could have been more.
Nonetheless, as much as that bothered it, it did little to push away her anticipation of finally being able to allocate her Stats. As such, Hannah dismissed the System Alert on the screen in favor of tapping the Status icon at the top of her D-Card.

“Oh… It changed slightly.”
Noting those exact changes, Hannah ignored the Stat section in favor of understanding the change within her species designation, and everything related to it, plus the Title section of her Status.
At the same time, Hannah experimented by tapping on those very things to figure out if more information would pop up explaining to her what she needed to know. Unfortunately, tapping on the word Spirit beside her species designation turned out to be useless. The same was true for every category within the Character section of her Status.
Fortunately, however, an answer was found within the Title section.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!
*
Title; Dreamer
*
Title Description; Having gone through the Hard Awakening Difficulty Challenge, you have uncovered the hidden Truth of your existence. Yes, you have discovered that you are a Spirit at your core while the meat you ride in is nothing but the Shell housing your Spirit.
----------------------------------------
“Mmm…”
In the end, Hannah simply dismissed the first Title as it revealed nothing new because she had discovered that very truth just moments prior. On the other hand, the term Spirit stuck with her as it definitely sounded better on her tongue compared to saying she was just a Soul.
Either way, tossing the first Title aside, Hannah tapped on the second one.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!
*
Title; Novice
*
Title Description; Having just Awakened to the truth of being a Spirit, you have realized that there is much for you to absorb, process and learn, thereby you have understood that you are but a Novice Spirit, with much room to grow and develop.
*
Title Effects;
Skill Growth Efficiency - 200%
----------------------------------------
“As expected. It’s about my current Level.”
That said, Hannah dismissed the second Title as well because she would need to overcome her Second Nightmare Tribulation to leave it behind and become an Apprentice ranked Dreamer, and that only occurred after she reached Level 20.
Compared to that, the Skill Growth effect was a welcome effect, though, since she had yet to acquire any Skills, Hannah would not be witnessing the Novice Title’s effect for the time being. As such, Hannah focused on the last Title, the Title directly tied to her Grand Dream.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!
*
Title; Dreamon Trainer
*
Title Description; You have sworn an Oath to Seek,Capture and Train Dreamon in order to make all understand the power hidden within them. However, in the back of your mind, you wonder if that is truly what a Dreamon Trainer is all about?
*
Title Effects;
Novice Grade Effect - Affinity with Dreamon increased by 50%
----------------------------------------
“Umm… Right.” Unsure on what to say or think about it, Hannah simply dismissed the third Title away. With things as they were, Hannah’s mind settled on the second most important part of her Status, namely the Stats.
----------------------------------------
With things as they were, and the number of Stats she could allocate, Hannah had a somewhat rougher time on deciding on how to go about. At least, that was how it was before she figured out that her current stores gave her the chance to perfectly distribute her Stats.
As such, all that was left to determine the order of the distribution, but even that was settled moments later. Thus, moving her right forefinger, Hannah taped on the plus sign besides the Ego Stat. The moment she had done so, Hannah noted no change to herself, but what did change was in the form of an additional screen popping up on the screen.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!
*
Ego Stat Allocation in Progress!
*
Warning!
*
Only Special Action Points allowed for usage!
*
User; Hannah Blackwood, please confirm Special Action Point Allocation!
*
✅ ❌
----------------------------------------
Tapping on the only obvious choice, a new screen appeared, but this one was remarkably simple since it only displayed two lines, her current Ego Stat, which was 1, and what she wished her future Ego Stat to be, displayed by a blank field. One tap on that blank field, a simple array of numbers between 0 and 9 appeared. Similar to how it looks on her house phone. As such, Hannah had no trouble at all pressing on the number nine before tapping on the YES virtual button.
----------------------------------------
System Alert!!!
*
Ego Stat Allocation in Progress!
*
Warning!
*
User; Hannah Blackwood, please confirm your allocation of 9 Special Action Points!
*
✅ ❌
----------------------------------------
Nodding, Hannah affirmed her choice and the screen vanished. However, that was but the visual side of the allocation because within her Soul, the variant energy representing Stats split a small chunk of itself before infusing that small chunk into the core of her Soul, and as she was the Core of her Soul, Hannah felt herself being filled, being invigorated, being satisfied, but most of all, she felt herself grow.
A side effect of her Ego, her Spark of Life, growing was the elevated stabilization of its existence occuring. Nonetheless, that was not all, because something phenomenal occurred when her Ego hit the mark known as Ego Stat - 10.
At that point, a tiny transformation occurred to her Ego, her Spark of life, produced a hick-up like behavior before coalescing enough energy to become something more unique then it already was, namely a new type of energy.
No… That is the wrong way to think about it. Hannah quickly corrected in her mind. It's more like my Ego finally became strong enough to withstand what had already been there, I just never knew it existed before this moment. Nodding to that very realization, Hannah affirmed her thoughts. Yes, my Ego just became stable enough to allow itself to become a container for it.
Yes… There is no doubt about this fact since Ego represents my Soul’s capacity to hold onto things.
With the understanding behind her, Hannah quickly opened her eyes, though she was unsure when she had even closed them to begin with. Either way, her eyes immediately settled on her D-Card whose screen had once again locked itself. Thus, after another double tap on the screen, Hannah saw her Status already being open.
Parsing through it quickly, her sight arrived at the Internal Resources of her Status screen.
----------------------------------------
Internal Resources
.
Power - 10
----------------------------------------
“Power?” Hannah murmured as her mind went over its existence. “Why Power? Why not just call it energy? Perhaps the answer is in the other Stats?”
With the question posited, Hannah quickly went through the screens again warning her about adding nine Special Action Points to the Will Stat because Hannah was emulating the pathway that had allowed her to Hatch, at least after Ego since she would have started with that one no matter which pathway she chose to emulate.
Anyway, just like with Ego, at 10 Stat Point allocations, Will attached and effortlessly integrated itself to her Ego, to her Spark of Life on some deeper level.
Which was strange since everything was already one thing to begin with.
That aside, once integrated with one another, Will did something to her Ego, only it was barely perceptible to Hannah, so she had a hard time understanding the underlying effect Will provided to the new energy within her Soul. As such, the moment it was over, her eyes settled on her D-Card. Tapping its screen twice, her brown eyes settled on the Internal Resources section for her Status.
----------------------------------------
Internal Resources
.
Regen - 0.5
Power - 10
----------------------------------------
“Ah… Will determins how fast my… PP recovers.” Ceasing there for a second, Hannah suddenly realized just how her impromptu improvisation for Power and Point actually sounded once put together.
“Nevermind…”
After denying her improvisation, Hannah quickly went for the next Stat allocation.
The next one was about Logic, and it too got allocated nine points. Just like the previous two, at 10 Logic Stat Points, Logic interacted with the new energy within her Soul. Additionally, just like with Will, Hannah had a tough time understanding what it did. However, she did have a vague sensation that Logic somehow reflected the new energy in her Soul, though not completely.
Thankfully, her D-Card provided an answer..
----------------------------------------
Internal Resources
.
Regen - 0.5
Focus - 5
Power - 10
----------------------------------------
“Focus? As in? How hard or how long can I stay focused? Anyway, since it reflects half, does this mean that after spending half of my Power, I won't be able to Focus anymore?”
With no immediate answer, Hannah continued her Stat allocation with Instinct. However, this time, something even more unique occurred, Instinct at 10, took the new energy within her Soul, and distributed it to the various parts of her Soul, almost like filling some kind of holes that existed, only, once again, Hannah knew nothing about them.
Nevertheless, Hannah sensed that Instinct had used her Power to lubricate the different sections of her Soul, if something like that was even possible.
To confirm it she sought her D-Card.
----------------------------------------
Internal Resources
.
Stamina - 10
Regen - 0.5
Focus - 5
Power - 9
----------------------------------------
“Ah… My senses were right.” Hannah murmured softly. “Makes sense that even Souls get worn out, and Stamina will delay that wear and tear through efficient lubrication.”
“Definitely makes sense.”
After Instinct, it was time for Vessel.
Just like Instinct, at 10 Stat Points, Vessel took the new energy in her Soul to redistribute it across her Soul and all of its layers. However, unlike Instinct, it did not fill any holes but actually fortified her Soul in general.
Therefore, when Hannah checked her D-Card she found a very familiar term.
----------------------------------------
Internal Resources
.
Health - 10
Stamina - 10
Regen - 0.5
Focus - 5
Power - 8
----------------------------------------
“Health… Points?” Hannah uttered hesitantly. “Does this mean I can survive being hit more?”
Wondering just that very fact, Hannah thought of quickly hitting herself to test it out, but then she remembered that the Health Points should only apply to her Soul and not her physical body, her Shell.
After Vessel, there was only one Stat left, and that was Insight.
Following the trend, at 10 allocated Stat Points, Insight began interacting with the new energy within her Soul.
Unlike Logic, it did not reflect the new energy.
Unlike Instinct and Vessel, it did not take the new energy to bestow a new type of effect to her Soul.
No, it was closer to Will because at 10 allocated Stat Points, Insight integrated itself with the source of her Power, her Ego, her Spark of Life, before enhancing it somewhat. However, the special thing was that the same enhancement existed even after her Power left for the other parts of her Soul. This interaction between all the parts of her Soul then generated a kind of flow, and if Hannah interpreted the sensations correctly, that very same flow should allow her to project her Power outside her Soul. Though, how that was accomplished, would need to be studied since, currently, Hannah had no idea on how to do that.
Done with her Stat allocation, Hannah paid one last glance to her Status.
