Chapter 15 - Dreamscape

Shortly after Fiend Yuki fell asleep, he ‘woke up’ in another place laying atop multi colored grass surrounded by multi colored tree. Hell, everything was multicolored.

As Fiend Yuki looked around at this fruity paradise, wondering why the fuck he woke up, and what the hell kind of a drug he took before woking up rolled over closed his eyes take took a deep breath only to be even more confused by why the multi colored grass smelled like a cheap scratch and sniff sticker.

Not bothering to think about it anymore Fiend Yuki decisively closed his eyes to fall back asleep… only he didn’t.

Laying with his face in the grass, eyes closed, for a couple minutes. Fiend Yuki finally rolled by over on his back and opened his eyes to see that the sky had 7 moons, each a different color, an aurora in the sky which snaked back anforth covering nearly half of of the sky, while the other half was covered in so many stars that the night sky on that side was nearly white due to the density of them.

Slowly sitting up, and then lazily propping himself up, Fiend Yuki then gazed around the area only to notice that besides looking like a crappy splash paint, and weird sky… where he was minus the hutt he was sleeping in was exactly the same as far as he could tell.

‘Well… shit’ was all that Fiend Yuki thought to himself as he stood up and started to walk around the area.

Stretching as he walked around to ‘wake’ himself up even though it didn’t really do anything to him, he noticed that his body and limbs where a sort of greyish outline with no real definite figure. Which then prompted Fiend Yuki’s astray thought process to only come up with one logical explanation. ‘Hell looks gay as fuck…’

Feeling around on his face, which felt normal as what any person should have on their face was on his face still. Sighing in relief Fiend Yuki then started to look around the area, and think of what to do next.

Standing around with a scrunched up face for a good 10 minutes before just shrugging his shoulders, Fiend Yuki just started to casually walk into the forest.

Walking for hours on end Fiend Yuki, finally came across something which was out of place.

A patch of grey like smoke which looked like a fire was weirdly hovering in place, 1 foot off the ground.

Staring at the smoke for some odd reason Fiend Yuki felt oddly compelled to walk up to it and stick his hand into the smokey looking fire.

Taking a quick glance around the area, and peeking over his shoulders Fiend Yuki slowly approached the smokey fire. Tentatively stretching out his hand to touch the smoke ready to jump back and bolt for it. Fiend Yuki barely even tapped it with his finger when suddenly a notification popped up.

Staring at the message for a full minute with his hand still in the smoke while the little hamster in Fiend Yuki’s brain started to slowly turn it wheel, Fiend Yuki finally selected yes.

“And I suppose this is another shop currency thing now too.. Wonder what’s so different about it.”

While rubbing his nose pondering on it, Fiend Yuki then noticed his hand. It got slightly more realistic, going from a thin grey smoke to a darker shade, and condensing more. Staring blankly at his hand for a while trying to figure out why, only to sum it up with absorbing the dream essence.

After a quick glance around the area, Fiend Yuki noticed that far into the distance there was another smokey fire burning.

With a happy smile Fiend Yuki started to run towards it, only to trip on his own feet not even 5 steps later due to him not being properly adjusted to physical exercise then suddenly gaining a body that was nearly godlike compared to before he started to cultivate.

Standing back up and then making the hand movements of dusting himself off, Fiend Yuki then started to slowly jog over to the smoky fire paying attention to how he ran gradually getting used it.

Upon reaching it, Fiend Yuki stopped himself right before sticking his hand into the smoke. Because the little hamster wheel paided off coming up with a grand idea. Putting all his points into Dream Catcher.

Grinning from ear to ear for his new ability already paying off in spades, due to it doubling his dream essence absorbed already at only 10/100.

That said Fiend Yuki controlled his urge to get a random box, saving up for a new skill or ability. Perhaps even the deluxe box.

Deciding to trace back to where he woke up, Fiend Yuki started to walk back towards the spot albeit slowly. As he was watching the moons slowly swivel around, causing the multi colored area to start changing from a plethora of colors towards more of an solid purple, due to purple moon coming closer and closer and the other moons drifting back becoming smaller but still visible. With an absent mind, Fiend Yuki walked straight into another larger dream essence.

Absorbed the Dream Essence of an Wanxiang Frozen Toothed Lion

Gained 100 dream essence

Gained 100 bonus dream essence due to 'Dream Catcher'

Getting startled from the high quality dream essence, Fiend Yuki started to wonder what exactly killed this creature out here so close to where he ‘woke up’.

With grave thought in his mind that there was a apex predator near here that could kill a wanxiang beast, which Fiend Yuki assumed is higher than anything he knew of so far. Fiend Yuki started to rush back to where to the clearing thinking of ways to wake himself up.

By the time he got back to the clearing, Fiend Yuki felt more than anything else that something was different yet couldn’t quiet say exactly what it was.

Sitting back down where he woke up, Fiend Yuki closed his eyes and starting to think or somehow feel how this spot feels different.

Seconds went by, minutes, hours, until a full day went by for Fiend Yuki until he entered a empty frame of mind and connected to the dreamscape ever so slowly gaining a purplish tint to the dark grey smoke the formed his body.

Half a day later Fiend Yuki suddenly jumped to his feet, finally knowing what was off through the connection he had with the dream dao deeping here, Fiend Yuki figured out that his actual physical body was no longer in this spot but somewhere else.

Due to the slightly deepened connection to the dream dao, Fiend Yuki had the slightest connection towards the direction of where his body was.

Sighing to himself why he couldn’t just sleep normally, Fiend Yuki started to head off towards his body which was hundreds of miles away.
