G3 you’re killing me with these cliffhangers. Also kudos to great storytelling! You have a nack for keeping your readers hooked and developing well rounded characters.
They could be killing each other to reduce the amount of awakened/masters/saints walking around in the waking world. Doing so might reduce the number of nightmare gates popping up, and if you're going to cull population you might as well do it to your enemy's.
I'm guessing it's a Lord of the Mysteries type deal - the components necessary to reach the next level involve consuming those at the same level (would explain them betraying Nephs dad too). Something like "to enter the 4th/5th nightmare, you must take the essence of a Saint/Sovereign"
I’m going to get downvoted to death but I feel like these 3 chapters, the writing is kinda… subpar? A lot of exposition dump, reliteration, and eh… yea…. Not quite what I’m used to.
I noticed the tunic says only establishes a mental connection with living being...where does Jet fall in this....Evidence of Jet being with Sunny during a nightmare seed maybe in the future?
