"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

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.

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. I feel refreshed after sleeping in a proper bed because we've been camping and sleeping
