Inside the classroom.Although it was dark, William could still see everything clearly because of his newfound powers. His vision pierced through the gloom as though the night itself had no power over him.And then, he saw it.A shadow moved between the scattered desks. An animal, or rather, a feral beast.It looked like a rat, but not the kind anyone had ever seen before. Its body was grotesquely swollen, its fur matted and bristling. It was easily ten times larger than a normal rat, the size of a full-grown dog.The monster scurried with unnatural speed, turning over desks and chairs, claws scraping deep gouges into the wood and floor tiles as if searching for something. Its movements were restless, hungry, filled with violence.Then it noticed him.The giant rat froze and whipped its head toward William. Its eyes glowed red in the dark, swollen and bloodshot, blazing with killing intent. For a brief moment, William was reminded of the twisted monsters he had fought in his last miss

William arrived at the suburb.Although it was nighttime, the streets were still alive with light. Old, flickering bulbs hung from poles, casting patches of gold across the dusty road. Despite the late hour, laughter and voices filled the air. A group of children ran barefoot across the street, chasing each other with sticks and scraps of paper that served as makeshift toys.When William stepped down from the car, the noise changed instantly.“Big brother William!” one of the children shouted before racing toward him. The others followed quickly, their tiny feet slapping against the ground.In moments, William was surrounded.“Big brother, we thought you left us!”“Big brother, why were you so late today?”“Did you go to night school, big brother?”They clung to his arms and tugged at his clothes, their wide, innocent eyes filled with worry. William’s heart melted on the spot. The children of the suburb had always treated him like family. Their innocent questions struck something de

“William, welcome to my dreamscape.”The handsome middle-aged man greeted with a warm smile, his voice carrying an unusual calm that echoed across the grand room.William froze, his brows furrowed. He was confused,deeply confused. First, he had no idea who this man was. Second, what exactly did he mean by dreamscape?‘Dreamscape? Does it mean… he’s inside my dream? How can someone do that?’ William’s thoughts spun wildly.For a few seconds, he didn’t respond. He was too busy trying to piece together why and how he had been pulled into this strange, vivid place that felt too real to be just a dream.The man seemed to sense his confusion and chuckled lightly. “You must be unsettled right now,and that’s only natural. Anyone would be if they suddenly learned that another human being could step into their dreams and control what they see.”As he spoke, he waved his hand casually. A chair materialized in front of William, carved from polished wood and cushioned with velvet. The man sat down

Ethan and William remained in the dreamscape for quite some time, discussing matters that carried immense weight. Ethan leaned forward slightly, his sharp eyes softening as he gave William advice. “There are certain ancient artifacts scattered across the world that can help you grow stronger at a faster pace. These artifacts were created in eras long before ours, when mana was much denser in the air. They hold remnants of that lost power.”William listened closely, his curiosity burning.“For example,” Ethan continued, “one wielder once used holy water produced in the largest cathedral in Europe. That water wasn’t ordinary, it carried the blessings of generations of priests and believers. With it, she refined her holy element until it shone brighter than sunlight itself.”William’s brows arched. He had never considered that the faith of mortals could be refined into actual power.“There’s more,” Ethan said, his voice steady but calm. “Mana stones. Rare gems formed when mana condenses

The dreamscape grew quieter after Ethan’s words, the swirling lights dimming to a calm gray hue. William sat in silence, his mind racing. Every word Ethan spoke carried weight, and though part of him wanted to question more, another part told him this was enough for now.Ethan leaned back in his chair, his presence towering even in this strange world of thought and illusion. “You’re still young, William. You’ll make mistakes—I expect nothing less. But there are certain mistakes you cannot afford to make. Keep your strength hidden. Use your rewards wisely. And above all, never underestimate the dangers waiting beyond the veil of this world.”William nodded slowly, the gravity of those words sinking deep into his heart.A faint hum echoed through the dreamscape, the air vibrating softly. William looked around, noticing the world around him start to blur. The once-sharp outlines of the horizon bent and twisted, dissolving like smoke carried away by the wind.“It seems our time is coming

The next day arrived quickly, the sun climbing back into its throne in the sky, stretching its golden rays across the land, and awakening the world to yet another Saturday.William woke up much earlier than usual. Unlike other mornings where his face wore indifference or fatigue, today his lips carried a smile—a proud and confident smile. It was the type of smile that belonged only to a man who believed he owned the entire world. And on this day, William genuinely believed that he did.The first thing he did was head for a bath. The cool water washed away the last remnants of sleep and refreshed his mind. Afterwards, he changed into a set of neat, though visibly old, clothes and stepped out of his small house. His feet carried him into the ever-busy streets, where life had already begun to bloom in full.People were out of their homes, heading in different directions, each person rushing towards their workplace or daily hustle. Children ran about across the street, their laughter ech

Dandro was the son of a very well-to-do woman. His mother owned one of the largest makeup studios in the entire city, a business so famous that almost every household knew her name.With the influence and wealth of his mother, Dandro was able to live the kind of life other boys his age could only dream about. He never lacked anything—luxury and privilege followed him everywhere. At school, he flaunted his status with ease. He had dated most of the girls, using his mother’s influence as bait. All he had to do was promise them an appointment at his mother’s studio, and the girls would fall at his feet without hesitation.The girl he was holding right now was one of those girls, and William immediately recognized her. Her name was Jennifer. She was in his class and had always spoken ill of him. One time, she had even called him out in public, humiliating him simply because of his worn-out uniform. The memory burned faintly in William’s mind as his eyes fell on her now.“These two bas

The guards tightened their grips, their knuckles whitening as their batons hovered in the air. Their eyes gleamed with cruelty, waiting eagerly for the command that would allow them to unleash violence.“Why are you wasting time?” Dandro snapped, his voice sharp, entitled, and commanding, the tone of someone used to being obeyed. “Beat him until he learns his place!”Jenifer quickly added with a sneer, her lips curling with satisfaction. “Yes! Don’t hold back—make him regret ever standing here, make sure he never dares to raise his head again!”Her shrill words rang across the courtyard, bouncing against the walls until they caught the attention of those nearby. People paused in their steps. Heads turned curiously. Feet shuffled closer as whispers began spreading like wildfire. In no time, a small crowd started to gather, drawn by the promise of entertainment.“Isn’t that Dandro?” someone muttered in surprise, their tone carrying both awe and caution.“Yeah,” another replied quickly.

The two guards wiped the blood from their mouths and slowly pushed themselves back to their feet. Their pride was bruised even worse than their bodies, and the laughter and gasps from the onlookers only fueled their rage further. Their heavy breathing mixed with the sound of murmurs around them, and their faces twisted in humiliation.One of them spat to the side and sneered, his eyes burning with anger. “You think you’re tough, huh? You only caught us off guard.” “Yeah,” the other added with a low growl, his grip tightening hard on his baton until his knuckles turned white. “This time, we’ll beat you until you can’t even crawl away. You won’t be smiling when we’re done.” The crowd leaned in closer, forming a wide circle. Some stepped on their toes to get a better view, others whispered in hushed tones, eager for the show to continue.“Is this kid crazy? Does he not know when to quit?” someone muttered, shaking his head in disbelief.Another man crossed his arms and scoffed. “Those

The silence that followed William’s words was deafening. The two guards lay on the ground groaning, their pride shattered and their strength spent. The crowd, which had been noisy before, was now filled with murmurs and whispers. But none of them dared to laugh too loudly. They all felt the same strange thing—that the thin, poor-looking boy standing in front of them was no ordinary person.Dandro’s chest heaved up and down, his face twitching as he struggled to control the rage boiling inside him. Never in his life had he been humiliated like this. Not only had William insulted him in front of his woman and guards, but now, with so many witnesses, he had been made to look like a fool.“Y-You… you bastard…” he stammered, his teeth gritted. “Do you think this makes you a hero? Do you think you’ve won?”William didn’t bother replying. He simply stood still, his eyes fixed on Dandro with a calmness that felt like a blade pressed against his pride. That calmness itself was worse than words
