SIDEREAE Prologue
Mathieu has a conflicted feeling as his eyes trail Sid's back. He remembered her pale face washed with tiredness as her cheeks lost their color. The tiny tint of blush on her cheeks lost its color, and those beautiful freckles that she had became dull. Her glittering mismatched eyes became sunken and somber. The dark spots under her eyes became vivid, making him think that she isn't getting enough sleep. and her body figure became thinner. She stopped doing things that she used to love, and her eyes don't sparkle anymore when they talk about things that she used to enjoy. It's as if everything turned meaningless. Sid became even more quieter and distant even to Mathieu, her closest friend. It became harder for him to reach her, as Sid preferred to stay alone and shut herself away from everyone. Mathieu could no longer see the sweet and happy Sid he once knew, as she now became lifeless and apathetic. The Sid he knew was getting farther away, and Mathieu couldn't shake the thought t
SIDEREAE Chapter 1
It was a gloomy weather, and in the corner of a small town, a funeral was being held with only a tiny number of people who attended the ceremony. Sideraea, had a hard expression on her face, as she watch her father's coffin being buried on the ground. She wasn't able to cry, because her tears had already dried out after crying in grief for a couple of nights. The people began to disperse, after saying their goodbye and condolences to her and Sid, politely thanked them for attending the ceremony. "Sid," Her uncle called as he walked toward her. Her uncle Mario, is the only one who didn't cut ties with her father Elknox Lirrian after he was disowned by his family for marrying Sid's mother Laney. "Uncle. . ." She replied with a forced smile on her face. "Are you sure about your decision to move with your mom?" "You know, I can take you along with me," He asked with a voice full of concern. "Thank you uncle, but my mom already agreed to take me. Besides, I don't want to burden you.

"What should I do to become a dreamer?" Oneiroi's lips curved into a loop-sided smile when Sid spoke those words. "It's simple, you just need to form a contract with me. If you do, you can freely travel to different worlds. You can also gain the right to possess artifacts or abilities that'll help you, in your future travels." "Then, what will you get in exchange?" Sid asked with a serious tone coated in her voice. I never tried to form a contract before, but my dad taught me that I need to consider the benefits of signing a contract and to think carefully about the gains and losses that I'll get upon agreeing. "Hoh, this kid is smart. Elknox surely taught her." He thought in amusement, as he looked at her firm gaze despite the nervousness on her pretty face. "Your dreams." "My dreams?" "Yes. I'll get the right to eat all your dreams," Oneiroi opened his right palm and a bright yellowish light appeared with a variety of beautiful pictures in it. "Be it a good dream or a bad d
SIDEREAE Chapter 3
Sid opened her eyes at the sound of the bustling street, in an unfamiliar place. The street is full of busy shops and people walking on the sides and carriages passing by. She can smell the freshly baked pastries coming from the nearby bakery, and the smell of fresh flowers from the stall. She can see the ladies chatting inside a cafe and people coming out from a boutique. This place appears to be something that came out straight from a medieval fantasy novel, which she usually read during her free time. "Milady, are you alright?" A woman's voice suddenly spoke to her. "Huh?" Sid turned her face to her right and saw a woman with short brown hair looking at her worriedly. Then an unknown lady is wearing a nice green colored dress with a small hat shading her from the sun. "Are you feeling dizzy? The heat must be getting to you, milady. Shall we head back to the state now, so you can rest?" "Uh, yes?" "Then, please wait here milady. I shall call the carriage for us. Sir knight, p

"What are you thinking?" Mathieu asked while looking at Sid. They're currently on the school's rooftop, eating their lunch which composes of burgers and apple juice, along with some sweets that he bought for Sid. "If you were given a chance to live in a fantasy world, what would you like to become?" "That's so random," He laughed, "Hm. . . I think I would like to become a mage." "Why, Mage?" "Well, isn't it cool to do magic and to have the power of teleportation, producing lightning bolts or shooting a water ball," He answered while copying the gestures of anime characters, "Pew, pew, pew!" "Pfft–!" "Haha!" "I thought you're going to say, Hero." "Oh, that's good too! Heroes are strong and good at swordsmanship. I'll be willing to become a hero, as long as you become a Saint so that I can protect you!" I looked at him ridiculously. Me, a Saint? Just imagining myself as a Saint takes a toll on my lifespan. Becoming a saint is so tiring, I'm not someone like Mathieu who has goo

Sid decided to go to school early to go to the library. She didn't manage to do a single homework last night, because after she ate dinner and went to her room, she immediately fell asleep. "Yes! Finally, I'm done." She leaned back on her chair and sighed with relief. "Here, this is the last one," Mathieu said, pushing the book and the paper containing her homework. She immediately took them and organized them properly before putting them away inside her backpack. "Thanks for helping me with my homework, Mathy. I might not be able to finish all of this if you didn't give me a hand." "No worries. I'm happy to help," He chuckled and ruffled her hair. "By the way, how was your job hunting yesterday?" "Mmn, well. . .I got rejected at first, but thankfully after trying for the fifth time, I managed to get a job at the ramen shop." I said smiling widely at him. Mathieu looks at me with proud eyes, as he lightly laughs while patting my head. "I knew it! Well done Sid." "Mn. Thanks.
SIDEREAE Chapter 6
Sid smiled as she took out the new volume of a manga and a light novel, that Mathieu lend to her. He gave it to her when they were eating ramen at Sid's working place."I'm excited to read these!" She said before carefully placing them on her old bookshelf.She plans to read it this coming weekend, hoping that she won't have to do a lot of homework. She went to her bed and hugged her pillow before leaning on the headboard.Mom's husband will be coming home tomorrow, from his overseas business trip. I feel nervous just imagining myself meeting him. I don't know what to expect, will he get annoyed at me for intruding in his house?"What are you thinking Dreamer?" Oneiroi asked as he take a glance at her.He was playing with her phone while floating midair in an upside-down position."I'm wondering if my stepfather will kick me out of his house when he sees me.""Why would he?""Because he probably hates me. . .you know. . . since I'm a daughter of his wife from her previous relationship

"What's the matter,Saintess? You look pale. Are you alright?""Y-yes, I'm alright. I'm just a little dizzy."She quickly made an excuse and averted her eyes to avoid the High Priest's gaze."So, when will I go to the marquisate?" Sid anxiously asked."You will depart tomorrow morning. So make sure to take care of your healthSaintess.""Don't worry, the holy knights will accompany you. Since we're dealing with demons, we need to be extra careful," He reassuringly said after sensing her subtle anxiousness."I understand. I'll take my leave now."

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.

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
