After the introduction, Sunny simply sat next to Cassie to protect her if the new guy tried anything, and Nephis was cooking the meats they got after they killed the carapace scavenger.
Arthur is now dressed with the skin of something he doesn't know, he was in this thought. He felt like his brain was breaking apart.
What happened to me after I meet with the trio? My brain felt like it was on fire. Is this because I don't sleep or what?
I think it's better to rest right now.
While Sunny was talking to Cassie and having their fun, the guy named Arthur waved his hand and said to them, "I think it's better for me to rest; we can talk tomorrow." After saying this, the new guy simply lay down and made himself comfortable by taking a rock as a pillow and resting his head and sleeping like a baby.
Watching this event in front of his eyes, Sunny didn't simply believe what he saw.
The stranger simply slept in front of them like he didn't care if they betrayed him.
Sunny summoned his memories to attack the sleeping beauty. He was not the type to be ashamed to kill someone who is
Defenceless if it was necessary; after all, he was an outskirts rat. But before he could act, Nephis stopped him and said a single word: "Stop."
"Why"
"We don't know if the guy is dangerous or not," Cassie said and also continued, "and it is wrong to kill someone just because they come to the Dream Realm after a week."
"But both of you felt his aura, right? And still think this guy" – pointing at the sleeping beauty, he continued – "an ordinary sleeper?"
"But you and I are also not ordinary since we can kill awakened beasts."
"Whatever, but don't regret it when he attacks us tomorrow."
"If he does, we will stop him." Nephis replied.
"What makes you so sure?"
"Because who will stop us form stopping him ?"
Sunny looked at her and opened his mouth to reply and then closed it and finally opened it again and said, "Whatever."
After their disagreement, the cohort simply started to eat their dinner, knowing that tomorrow is going to be more difficult.
Unbeknownst to them Arthur was listening to their conversation. He knows that he can't trust them easily and tries to tast them to see if they are trustworthy. Although his state was chaotic, he tried his best not to sleep.
Despite the fact the cohort didn't trust him. They agreed to judge him after having a conversation with him.
Well now I can finally relax and rest a little. Uh.
Before he could finish this thought, his mind broke down, and he immediately lost his consciousness.
Arthur started to have a vision? Not quite a vision, but a lot of memories. Memories that don't belong to him. Wait, those memories,
They are the memories of the original body. Yes, this world where I just got reincarnated is a world affected by a disease called the Nightmare Spell.
The Nightmare Spell first appeared in the world a few decades ago. Back then, the planet was just starting to recover from a series of devastating natural disasters and subsequent resource wars.
At first, the emergence of a new disease that caused millions of people to complain about constant fatigue and sleepiness did not attract a lot of attention. But when they started to fall into an unnatural slumber, with no sign of waking up even days later, governments finally panicked. Of course, by then it was already too late — not that an early response could have made any difference.
When the infected started dying in their sleep, their dead bodies turning into monsters, no one was ready. Nightmare Creatures quickly overwhelmed national militaries, plunging the world into complete chaos.
No one knew what the spell was, what powers it possessed, and how to fight it.
In the end, it was the Awakened — those who survived the first trials of the spell and came back alive — who put a stop to its rampage. Armed with miraculous abilities earned in their nightmares, they restored peace and created a semblance of a new order.
Of course, it was only the first of the catastrophes brought upon by the spell. But as far as [????] was concerned, none of it had anything to do with him—not until a few days ago, that is, when he first started having trouble with staying awake.
And thus he the original body was sent to his first nightmare.
After some time passed, Arthur tried to remember most of the new memories about the original body, and why can't I remember the name of this original body? There were many questions in his mind, but it was not the right time to think about them; there are more important matters that need his focus right now.
After someone is infected with the Nightmare Spell and passes the trials of the Spell, they will gain miraculous abilities. That means he also has those abilities.
If memory serves right, he just had to concentrate and think about words like "status", "myself" and "information". Indeed, as soon as he focused, shimmering runes appeared in the air in front of him. Once again, although he did not know this ancient alphabet, the meaning behind it was somehow clear.
He quickly found the rune describing his Aspect… and, finally, lost his composure
