Dreamer's Lie

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Inside a ruined temple of sorts. Someone was wearing a completely dark set of clothing covering the figure from head to toe. This figure's face was covered by a white mask with glowing markings on it.

'Where could it be...' Thought the figure while walking around the temple searching for something.

After an hour of searching, The figure found a secret tunnel behind an old bookshelf and pushed the bookshelf out of the way and carefully entered the tunnel.

'This should be the place.' Thought the figure while walking down the tunnel.

'I hope I can find some answers.'

The figure finally made its way to the end of the tunnel, but what it was met with shocked it. It saw tubes, some still whole while others were broken, but the person inside of the whole tubes is the thing that shocked the figure.

It was a girl that was floating inside some type of liquid while hugging her knees. This girl's hair is completely white as if its colour was drained out of her hair, she was thin and looked like she was in pain...

The same person was in each tube, but their condition was different for each. The figure suddenly gripped its fist in what seemed to be anger.

'That bastard was trying to clone her!' The figure thought in anger.

The figure walked towards one of the broken tubes and looked at a panel. The figure tapped on the panel and it started glowing and words started appearing on the panel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test #106942

Clone #153 of C######## appears to be less violent than the original.

Studies show that the clone is suffering a lot less from the curse and it's harder to control.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the report couldn't be made out, but it was enough for the figure. After reading the panel it continued walking looking for something specific... and it finally found it.

In front of him was a room filled with documents of previous tests on different creatures, some of them being on animals, monsters or more sentient creatures.

The figure started looking through the different documents for anything helpful.

Countless old documents were scattered around the room while the figure was searching for a specific document, but after going through every single document he started realising that it wasn't there.

The figure made sure multiple times but it knew that the document wasn't there... it was too late.

The figure stood back up and walked out of the room, its hand shaking with rage.

"You can't save her, you know?" said something with a cackle

The figure was startled by the voice and turned around. He was met with a creature that seemed to be made out of shadows. It had an unnaturally wide smile with sharp white teeth and long thin arms and legs. Its hands had long fingers with sharp claw like nails that were glowing purple.

"I was waiting for you to finally come here, Alvar... and watching you struggle really does fill me with joy..." Its voice was hoarse and extremely creepy. Its eyes started glowing white while its smile nearly reached its eyes.

Alvar took off his mask and glared at the figure with burning hatred in his eyes.

"What do you want." Alvar said in a cold tone.

"How scary~ I'm not here to fight you Alvar~ I'm simply here to propose a deal... You see, the Lord wishes you to join us..." The creature said while cackling.

"Oh? and why does he want me?" Alvar asked

"You see... the Lord is interested in your abilities and strength... and if you join and help him complete his plan he'll help you in your goal to help your dying girlfriend~" The creature said

"I refuse." Alvar said staring at the creature.

"Oh? You do realise that he is the only one that can help her~" It said

"And your 'Lord' is the one that cursed her." Alvar said gritting his teeth.

"It seems nothing I say will cause you to change your mind~ But I don't mind at all~ Because the more you suffer~" Its smile managed to grow larger.

It suddenly started laughing.

" The more I enjoy watching it!" It yelled

Alvar took out his crimson-coloured katana and poured his mana into the blade. Alvar disappeared briefly and slashed at the creature, but his blade went through it.

"Because you have fallen for the Dreamer's lie!" It continued like nothing happened.

Everything started getting darker and darker. Shadows started coming out of the ground and engulfing everything.

"SINCE THIS NIGHTMARE WILL NEVER END!" It yelled for the final time as the shadows covered everything.

Total blackness

"Gah!" Alvar Screamed as he woke up covered in sweat.

Alvar quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed that he was still in his room.

He started to calm down but his rage couldn't calm down because of the Skull Crown.

'Seems like I have to visit the dungeon sooner than I expected.' Alvar thought while using his magic to clean the sweat off of him.

'You said I wouldn't be able to save her... and that I have fallen for the Dreamer's Lie.' Alvar started grinning.

'But my nightmare will stop soon while yours and your Lord's will continue forever...' Alvar thought to himself.

'And she is still alive because my plan worked.' He thought while staring at the glowing silver stone.

Alvar stood up from his bed and took out a new change of clothes from his storage and put it on. He placed Muramasa on his left side and picked up his backpack. He walked towards the door and decided to head towards the kitchen to make himself something to eat. It was still very early so everyone inside of the Hostess of Fertility was still asleep.

He made sure to use his magic so that no sound will be made so that no one will wake up on his way to the kitchen.

Alvar opened his storage and took out some ingredients and started making himself some food.
