'If I just keep waking up, I'll reach reality eventually.'
'This is a dream. Wake up.'
'This is a dream. Wake up.'
...
The Sect Leader repeated this process over and over until he reached a layer that felt particularly strange.
'So real.'
The dreams often gave him this feeling, but a closer look would always reveal that something was off.
In a dream, things that were completely out of place would appear.
And this time, the Sect Leader found just such a thing.
At that moment, his phone was dimly lit.
He had set his phone to "Do Not Disturb" because he didn't want to take any calls.
But right now, there was an incoming call. The caller ID read "Mom."
This was extremely out of place. He had cut off contact with his parents a long time ago.
The Sect Leader loved writing novels. After graduation, he hadn't found a suitable job, and his parents wanted him to help out at the family's general store.
