Mathieu took me to the infirmary, I am currently sitting still on the bed as per his instructions.

"This is going to sting a bit." He notified me before gently dabbing the cotton ball soaked with disinfectant into my scratches and blisters.

I whimpered as soon as the cotton balls touched my skin. It stings a lot and felt as if my skin is burning. I have a lot of scratches on my face as well as my arms, which I got from fighting Marianne and her friends.

After putting in a disinfectant, Mathieu started to apply some ointment to my visible bruises.

"I, I can do it myself."

"Just stay still. You also have blisters over here." He murmured while looking at my elbow.

"But..."

"Stay still." He firmly said, which made me nod in defeat.

I silently watched him. Since we were kids, Mathieu was always the one who took care of me. He's always been there to get me out of trouble, and he always had a way to calm me. But I'm afraid that I keep on bothering him, and I feel like I'm getting too

    "It's nice walking like this together," Mathieu said, as we walked leisurely on the street while admiring the orange sky. "Yeah." The cool breeze that was gently passing made me feel relaxed, clearing the jumbled thoughts that have been occupying my mind. "Sid, let's stop at the convenience store." "Okay." We entered the convenience store, Mathieu took a basket with him, and went directly to the food section. I went to the other side to get a toothbrush and an undergarment for me to use since I didn't expect this sudden sleepover.After picking up what I needed, I went to the food section where Mathieu is. "Whoa, that's a lot," I exclaimed, seeing a full basket in his hand. He shrugged, "We're going to eat this together, you know." "Mn...but still, I think it's a little too much." "It's fine, and it's our luck today," He grinned proudly and showed me the caramel pudding that he got. Math and I like sweets, and caramel pudding is our favorite dessert. "Lucky!" We arrived at

    CLANG!"Hyaap!" I thrust my sword in his direction, but Alper quickly blocked my attack.He pushed my sword away and made a horizontal slash to attack me, but I managed to avoid it by jumping backward, allowing me to put a distance between us."Haaa!"I run toward Alper and unleashed my chain attacks to hit him with great force.SWISH! CLANG! CLANG!He parried my sword with an impressive speed and pushed me back with his brute strength."Ugh!"

    "It's so damn hot!" I grumbled and wiped the dripping sweat from my face. I was positioned in the rear along with the wagons carrying our supplies as we travel to Morvall, along with Alper and the other knights. While, Raphael was positioned in the front, accompanying the commander and the vice-commander. I squint my eyes as I hatefully look at the scorching sun. Should I use my divine powers to cast a cooling spell? But, on second thought it's such a waste to use divine power in that way, casting a heat-resistant spell is way better. Oneiroi was right, I was able to gain power the more I dream. It was during my personal training that I noticed a familiar power within me. I didn't hesitate to check it, and I found out that I gained a fraction of Saintess L

    I couldn't sleep well after that night, and I stayed vigilant throughout the remaining time of our journey. I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, and every time I tried to search for the source, that feeling instantly disappeared. Ha! Really, I didn't know that being stalked is terrible. I feel like I could now sympathize with the people who are victimized by a stalker. It's a very unpleasant feeling, making the victim feel anxious and afraid. I couldn't even take a break without having the thought of my head flying, or being stabbed in my back. My body also unconsciously tensed up whenever someone approaches me from behind. Raphael also eyed me suspiciously after I accidentally hit him when he tried to approach me from behind. "...sigh." "Are you alright?" Alper asked and threw me an apple. I caught it with my left hand and wiped the apple using my thumb before taking a big bite. Crunch! A sweet and subtle taste of sour spread in my mouth. I never tasted an apple this

    "I was ordered by the pope to kill you.""Stop lying. I never had any connections with the pope!"He shrugged, "Of course you have. Your mother, the former Saint, is the pope's daughter."My eyes widened in his revelation. That means my thoughts were right!I couldn't figure out who wants Krynt's death because he has never gotten himself into anything questionable. This is why I thought that it has something to do with his birth history. This also answers why Krynt is highly compatible with divine power."She fell in love with that low-ranking paladin and ran away. The church hunted them by the order of the pope to avoid tarnishing his reputation and sullying t

    SLAAP!Sid's face was forcefully turned to her side, as Laney's heavy hand hit her cheek. She can hear a slight ringing in her ear as numbness was replaced by a burning sting."You went to school just to cause trouble? Have you no shame fighting your classmates for just a damn book? What's the point of you going to school if you're acting like a thug in the streets, huh!?" Laney furiously yelled at her.She wanted to defend herself, but she decided to keep her mouth shut. Knowing her mother, reasoning with her will only anger her. And Sid doesn't like that because she'll be on the receiving end if that's to happen."What's more, you decided to stay over at the Noors' house instead of going home. Do you think you can

    "Isn't it great? You're getting along well with your brother."Oneiroi appeared beside me with his hand under his chin, while looking at the closed door after Adam left my room.Sidereae ignored him and walked straight to her bed."Hey!" He called her out, feeling offended for being ignored."What is wrong with you?""You tell me," Sid sarcastically replied."Were you upset about what happened?" Sid sighed. She closed her eyes and covered her face with both hands."How can I not be upset? I... I just killed a... I just killed someone."She almost couldn't finish her words. Yes, it can be considered self-defense because her life is on the line. It was an act of survival, but still..."How long are you going to brood over it? Kill or be killed, that's the only thing you should imprint in your mind. It's a rule that you must never forget because guilt, morals, or whatever you humans like to call it are all useless when your

    When she finally reached the hospital, she saw that it was heavily guarded by soldiers. They were wearing armor and carrying advanced weapons that she had never seen before. Quara approached the soldiers with caution and said, "Excuse me, I need your help. My friend Samantha has been poisoned by mutated earthworms, and we need to find Mikael to cure her. Can you please let us in?"One of the soldiers looked at her skeptically and asked, "How do we know you're telling the truth? And who's Mikael?"Quara took a deep breath and said, "I encountered them when we were leaving the city." She showed them proof by showing them the mutated earthworm's fang. "And Mikael is a combat healer who can cure Samantha's poison. Please, you have to believe me."The soldier exchanged glances with his comrades and then nodded. "Alright, we'll let you in, but you have to wear this protective suit and take this weapon. It's dangerous out there."Quara donned the suit and took the weapon. She felt a sense of

    Quara Bridger woke up to the sound of sirens blaring in the distance. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed, still groggy from sleep. She glanced at the clock on her bedside table and frowned. It was too early for the sirens to be sounding.She got out of bed and walked over to the window, pulling back the curtains. What she saw outside made her heart race with fear. Chaos had descended on the earth. Buildings were crumbling, cars were overturned, and fires raged out of control. In the distance, she could see strange creatures, monsters, unlike anything she had ever seen before.Quara's mind raced with questions. What was happening? Was this some kind of terrorist attack? And then, as if in response to her thoughts, a news broadcast came on her television. The newscaster looked terrified as she spoke."Ladies and gentlemen, we are getting reports of strange creatures appearing all over the world. We don't know what they are or where they came from, but they are wreaking havoc everywhe

    Sidereae woke up with a pounding headache and a fever that seemed to have worsened overnight. Despite feeling weak and dizzy, she knew she couldn't afford to miss school, as they had an important exam scheduled for the day. She dragged herself to the kitchen and made some breakfast before leaving for school without waiting for her family to wake up.The train was as crowded as usual, and Sid managed to find a seat, though her head was throbbing with pain. She tried to study her notes, but her feverish state made it impossible for her to focus. She gave up after a few futile attempts and decided to rest her eyes and take a quick nap to try and alleviate her symptoms.She woke up with a start as the train reached her stop just in time, narrowly avoiding missing it. Despite feeling slightly better after her nap, Sid still felt weak and disoriented as she made her way to her classroom just before the bell rang to signal the start of the exam.As she looked at the test paper, Sid's heart s

    Andy's disappointment and frustration grew as Sidereae was whisked away back into the waking world. He had been so close to tasting another Lirrian's dream, and he could tell that Sidereae was a particularly special one. She was the only Lirrian to have become a dream killer, which only added to her allure.As he took in the lingering scent that Sidereae had left behind, a warp suddenly appeared, and a young boy materialized out of thin air, grabbing Andy by the throat with an iron grip. His long, sharp nails dug into Andy's skin, drawing blood and causing him to cough and splutter."Did I not warn you not to touch her?" the boy, who Andy recognized as Oneiroi, growled menacingly. "Are you trying to disobey me? Have you let your head swell and dared to challenge me, foolish human?"Andy could barely catch his breath as Oneiroi's grip tightened, his face contorting into a ghastly, inhuman form. The pressure on Andy's throat was intense, and he knew he was powerless to fight against One

    "Will you please tell me what happened? I need to know it." Yul begged.He was reluctant to talk because Andy feared it would only make Yul worry. But her desperation made Andy feel guilty that he couldn't be with Yul when she needed someone to lean on.Between the two of them, Yul was the one who was the most affected in this current situation which is why she keeps on insisting Andy in giving her the whole story.Andy sighed. He decided to open his mouth, hoping Yul would gain peace of mind after hearing the story."My knowledge is limited as the Duke ordered confidentiality involving this case."Yul nodded and listened intently."There was nothing strange. As usual, Benjie was working behind his desk. We were busy preparing for the Academy's second advancement class, and because of that, Benjie suffered a lot of headaches. I saw him drinking one of the potions that he got from you. Benjie told me that you nagged him for not properly caring for his health, which is why you insisted

    She wondered about the identity of the person who sent these men to monitor her secretly. Yul felt that these current men are more skillful in concealing their presence. The Shadow Guards that Benjamin sent to protect Yuldria killed the previous spies, forcing that person to spend money hiring more skillful men to watch Yul. She sighed heavily. There is a more pressing issue that Sid finds concerning, and it is about a Dreamer whom she met. She finds it odd that the Dreamer stayed still and didn't attack Sidereae. She was curious why this Dreamer was being quiet, and Sidereae had no idea how to react to it. She was more used to someone blatantly charging at her than this. The silent treatment is more nerve-wracking compared to exchanging sword attacks. She chuckled. It's funny how she completely adapted her ability to be a Dreamer. She also finds it hilarious that Sidereae is fine gambling her life away in these worlds. Well, there is not much difference in the waking world. Sid

    "What the hell are you doing, Yul!"She turned her head toward the owner of the baritone voice."Benjie? What are you doing here?"She asked the white-haired man standing beside her. Yul had to tilt her head to look at Benjie's face because of his height."I was looking for you," he replied. "Andy is coming to visit. He's on his way here.""But what are you doing? Why are you trying to cut hurt yourself? Have you finally gone crazy?"He simultaneously asked with a scowl."No, I want to try something to see if it works.""And that involves hurting yourself?""Yes."Benjie sighed."Hear me out before you think I am insane," Yul said defensively."Fine." He unwillingly agreed and leaned on the table."Grandpa told me not to tell this to anyone. But I'll make an exemption because I trust you the most."Yul started telling him from the moment she found the dead Lithera to the point when she accidentally awakened her powers and healed the plant back to life."After my discovery, I decided t

    It was a bright morning with clear skies and a cold breeze. The weather is still frosty as the winter has just ended, and thick blankets of snow are still covering the land, especially in the north.Yuldria Ingram has been tending the plants inside the greenhouse at the Castillon Duchy. She came from a Baron family who have been serving the Castillons for generations. Naturally, she became acquainted with Duke Darvan's family and became a childhood friend of Benjamin Castillon, the Duke's heir.Duchess Almira, a kind and warm-hearted woman, treated Yul as her daughter. Yul always accompanied the Duchess during tea time or while doing her hobbies, such as painting and gardening. And because Yul also has a penchant for growing rare and exotic plants, Duchess Almira gave Yuldria permission to enter her private greenhouse where she grows her collection of plants.Lithera is a rare and peculiar plant that blooms only one flower per season. Each flower has a different color that can be used

    Mathieu is feeling happy as he is finally able to see Sid after almost a week. He pretended to be sick and returned to the heavens to recover some of his powers. He also took care of those bug-faced girls who were bullying Sid.However, despite his cheerfulness, Mathieu felt strange as he looked at Sid. She was bawling last night in distress, yet Sid seems to have forgotten what happened last night.He was pissed because of Oneiroi's interference. He failed to prevent Sid from becoming a dream killer, but he was relieved that he managed to save her from the last attempt by the dream killer to kill Sid.Mathieu sighed. It's only been a few days since they last saw each other, but Sidereae became noticeably thinner."That sandwich won't be enough to fill you up," Mathieu said, cutting the fried pork from his lunch. "Here, eat this instead."Sid opened her mouth and ate the piece of fried pork without hesitation. Because she wasn't able to eat her breakfast, Sid's stomach had been grumbl
