You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound..."
"Hmm...mmn...mmn..."
Mathieu is singing the song softly, Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift while holding Sidereae in his arms, and whenever he needs to calm Sid or Lull her to sleep, Mathieu always sings that song to her.
They're currently lying on Sid's old bed in her old room.
He wiped the dried tears on her cheek and carefully moved Sid into a comfortable position after seeing her asleep.

Tap, tap, tap!The butler hastened his footsteps in a hurry as he saw the time on his pocket watch.Nario arrived in front of the chamber where his master was and knocked on the huge wooden door."Master...this is Nario. I came to inform you that the carriage is already prepared.""Master..."Nario knocked again when he didn't receive any response from the Duke. Two minutes had passed, yet the Duke didn't reply to his call."Master, I'm coming in," Nario said and opened the door.When he opened the door, Nario was welcomed with a soft melody that was

"Hello, brother."Idris grinned widely, but her eyes were sharp like a beast."I'm glad you look well. You don't know how worried I was when I learned that you suddenly disappeared.""Idris!?"He couldn't believe that Idris managed to track his location.Talkien's face contorted at the sight of Idris's hateful face. Every time he looks at her, his blood boils in hostility. He hated that Idris was much more outstanding than him despite her lack of interest and effort towards everything.He envied her for receiving their father's acknowledgment and having a loving mother. All Talkien wanted was to gain recog

"I-It can't be?!" Idris whispered with her eyes wide open. She could move in shock as she recognized him. He has the same face and the same mismatched eyes as Sidereae. Her feet which were glued to the ground run toward the door. She stretched her arm to reach him as tears welled up in her eyes. "Dad! Dad!" Idris called but Elknox only look at her before turning his back and disappearing into thin air. * * * "Dad, don't leave!" Sidereae woke up from her dream with her hand reaching out into the air. "...ah," she uttered in despair. This is the reason why Sid loathed being awakened from her dream. She finally saw her father. Elknox was so close for her to reach him, yet she was abruptly brought back to this ugly reality. I wish can stay in that place a little longer. Long enough to reach dad. Sid drew her hand back and briefly closed her eyes to recall Elknox's image. He still has the soft and warm appearance that Sid remembered. "It wasn't bad at all because I was able to

Everything hurts.I feel like my body will break every time I take a step. It was already in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. So, I decided to go downstairs and look for painkillers.Fortunately, when Mathieu dropped me off earlier, mom and her family went out for dinner. I was relieved because I was practically shaking when I entered the house, fearing that mom would see and criticize me.I grimaced as I slowly and quietly descended the stairs. It took me some time to finally arrive at the stairs' bottom. After catching my breath, I slowly walked to the kitchen and carefully opened the drawers to find the medicine.I found the medi

My suspension finally ended, and I was able to attend classes from now on while expecting to see my desk filled with trash and curses.I was a bit nervous when I entered the class, knowing I would see Linda and her friends again. But to my surprise, Linda and her gang were absent. I heard from my gossiping classmates that they got into an accident when they skipped a day from their community service to go to the beach.I don't want to be a jerk, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy about it.Anyone would feel relieved and satisfied, knowing that their bullies are finally getting hit by karma.I have no idea how long they will stay at the hospital, but for the time being, I will be enjoying my peaceful days without them."Serves them right," I whispered with a smirk.My mind started to wander as the class progressed. I couldn't focus on the teacher's lectures because my mind was bothered by Oneiroi's words, and I couldn't help but question myself.How do I feel about Mathieu?

Nira is almost out of breath as she's trying to outrun the monster wanting to kill them. Huff. Huff. Huff. 'Damnit! I'm almost out of mana, and my health is nearly depleted. We need to get out of this dungeon as soon as possible. If we don't want to be the dinner for these creatures!' "Aahh!" Nira looked back and saw Layla stumbled on the ground. "Shit! Eric, do you still have mana? Back me up for a bit." "Alright." A magic circle appeared, and several fireballs floated in the air. Nira unsheathed her sword and ran back to save Layla. Layla crawled, and the monster behind her threw its arm to catch her. "Skill: Frost Slash!" A blue aura covered Sid's sword as she ran towards the monster. She swung her sword, and a cold gust of wind flew towards the monster's arm. A thin layer of ice crept onto the monster's wound and covered the severed arm that fell on the ground. Eric fired his fireballs toward the monster as Sid helped Layla to get up. "I sprained my leg!" Layla cried.

I wonder what will happen if I choose to stay in this world. Will my body die in the waking world? Since my soul leaves my body every time I travel, it would be right to assume that my body is in a state of being alive and dead at the same time.As I learned more about being a dreamer, it made more sense why dad seems lethargic sometimes as one of the side effects. It also makes sense now why his pulse was faint, and his body gets colder whenever he fell asleep.I let out a satisfied groan while massaging my stiff shoulders to relieve my muscle tension. I decided to put aside my thoughts and enjoy this relaxing bath in the meantime.After spending 15 minutes soaking in the warm water, I stepped out of the bath as I was feeling sleepy. I headed back to my room, and the maidservant quickly followed with a tray of food in her hand to deliver my dinner.* * *I stretched my body after leaving the inn.

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.

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
