Lotm | COI | Red Preist

It didn't take long for me to go from the tavern all the way to the house I shared with my sister. In that time I begin to think on how I should deal with the monsters.

Though I don't know my strength, even with the passive enhancement, I doubt it would be enough to fight one on one with the half human half monster.

Those that red skinless monster, I might be able to beat since it didn't seem that hard for the original Lumian to beat him.

Getting to my house I open the door as I walked in I searched for anything that could be in this room. Anything at all that could possibly help me that the original didn't find.

Alas, even after 30 minutes, I could even find a single thing I guess there's nothing really hear that could be of use to me.

Going back upstairs as the stairs started to creek from my constant movement I went up only to see light coming from another room.

'Aurore it's probably still awake waiting her books I shouldn't disturb her for too long'

Quickly going into my room as quiet as possible, making sure to not Creek as much. I quickly made my way to my bed as I left off the sheets and tucked myself in.

'so let's see what I remember so far one the monsters can't come inside the house it's like a safe haven two I shouldn't go too far into the ruins. I might meet that noodle monster that's constantly dancing three try my best not to die'

After going over my plan, I began to close my eyes, trying to go to sleep as the darkness slowly consume by consciousness, I thought a weird sensation of floating.

I thought the sensation was me falling into the dream, but when the sensation didn't stop, I open my eyes only to see myself in a blank white room.

" what's happening?"

The question wasn't answered, but there was also no echo of my question so it seems the space isn't closed off or it's wide enough not to make an echo.

-New message

-What do user like to sleep?

-What do use your like to go into dream?

Seeing that the message had appeared before me my eyes widened a bit.

" so it seems the system can either let me go to sleep, or it would allow me to go into the dream"

Thinking about this I'm not a bit. It would be quite nice at least sometimes not to get dragged into the sleep dream full of monsters.

I quickly press the second option as a screen hit me once more, and begin to detail more of the dream world that I wouldn't have expected.

-Notice

-The dream world has been affected by 'COI' and such the system cannot have as much protection over the dream world as in reality

-Second notice

-Due to the system of not having as much authority over the dream assistant cannot hold back a large amount of corruption I search you are vulnerable to go in (MAD) in the dream

My eyes widened. It seems I wanna have the help of the system during my stay in the dream world, or to be more specific. It doesn't have as much authority as it does in reality.

" though that might be a bit of a bummer, I shouldn't hinder me too much as long as I could protect me in reality until I reach Sequence 0 I should be completely fine"

-Would you like to go in

-Y/N

Quickly pressing 'Y' seen around me, changed as I was instantly standing in my original room, but it seemed more Erie in quiet.

I walk to the window as I move some of the blinds away, and I looked up at the current sky that was filled with deep an endless fog.

" wow there's no sun or stars or anything up there. It's just completely filled with dense fog."

Shaking my head to stop random impulse questions from taking over my current consciousness. I looked at the door of my room as I walked out.

" everything should be the same so"

Looking over to Aurore room, I want to go in there later and see what kind of sorcery she has a per sleeves but for now I need to become a Sequence 9 Byonder.

" I doubt I'll be able to get that half man half Monster today, but I could probably get it another time but for now I wanna see how my strength currently holds up with that skinless monster"

Quickly, walking down the stairs, I began to go to the kitchen to see whatever weapon I could find.

In my hand I could only have a kitchen knife, a stick that seem to have some sort of metal pointed edges and a large fork.

of the weapons that I had at my disposal seemed to be either too heavy or too dangerous for me to handle properly.

Nevertheless, I was determined to make do with whatever I had at hand. As I was about to leave the kitchen, I heard a faint sound coming from outside. It was a low growl, but it wasn't coming from any of the monsters that I knew of. I slowly made my way towards the door, not sure of what I was going to find on the other side.

As I opened the door, my eyes widened in astonishment. Standing in front of me was a huge black wolf, with glowing red eyes and razor sharp teeth.

For a moment, I froze, unsure of what to do next. But then something inside me clicked, and I knew that I had to fight back.

' I thought it couldn't come to the house'

With all the strength that I could muster, I lunged forward, brandishing the kitchen knife in my hand. It wasn't much, but I hoped that it would be enough to defend myself. The wolf snarled and bared its teeth, ready to attack me. But then, at the last moment, it hesitated, as if unsure of whether to continue the fight or not. And then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished into thin air.

I was left standing there, gasping for breath, unsure of what had just happened. But at least I had achieved one thing - I had proven to myself that I was capable of defending myself, even against the most fearsome of enemies.

" there is no monster like this. This is a full wolf or a half wolf half man dammit it seems like I'm strong but I'm not strong enough to fight real monsters."

The night was spent in vigilance, my eyes darting around every corner, searching for any more signs of danger.

But nothing else occurred, and eventually, fatigue descended upon me, and I fell into a deep slumber.

In the morning, I awoke to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, feeling much better than I had the day before. The sun was shining down on the land outside, casting a warm glow on the trees and the buildings nearby. It was a beautiful day, and as I looked outside and breathed in the fresh air, I knew that I had made the right decision to fight back against the forces of darkness.

Gathering up the few meager belongings that I had, I left the ruined house behind and set out on my journey once again, filled with newfound purpose and courage.

I will encounter many challenges along the way, but I will faced them all with bravery and determination, never losing sight of my goal, which was to safety and freedom from fear. And eventually, I will reach Sequence 0.

Looking back on my Dream, I knew that I would never have made it this far if I had not stood up and fought back against the wolf that had attacked me.

That moment had been a turning point in my life, and it had given me the strength and the courage to face all the other trials that I had encountered along the way. And as I stood there, gazing out at the peaceful landscape spread before me, I knew that I had truly become the hero of my own story.

I stayed up for the next few nights, thinking of ways to increase my strength and skills. I knew that I needed to become stronger if I wanted to survive in this world filled with monsters. And so, with determination fueling my every move, I started to train.

I practiced my combat skills with the kitchen knife and the stick, slowly getting better with each swing. I also did exercises to improve my strength and endurance, such as push-ups and sit-ups. And, whenever Aurore allowed me to, I would take combat lessons from her.

Over time, I started to see progress. My swings with the kitchen knife became more precise, and my movements more fluid. My strength and endurance improved, allowing me to train for longer periods of time.

And most importantly, I started to learn more magic spells, which hopefully would allow me to take down even the strongest of monsters once I acquired spirituality. And so, with each passing day, I continued my training, pushing myself harder and harder, determined to become a true Sequence 9 Byonder.

.......

The full moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the deserted streets. Lumian walked cautiously, clutching his kitchen knife tightly.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes ahead. Lumian tensed, ready to defend himself. Out of the shadows stepped a massive werewolf, its eyes gleaming with hunger.

Lumian's heart pounded in his chest as he raised his knife. The werewolf snarled, baring its razor-sharp teeth.

The two circled each other, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Suddenly, the werewolf lunged forward, claws extended. Lumian sidestepped the attack and lashed out with his knife, slicing deep into the werewolf's fur.

The werewolf recoiled in pain, but it didn't stop. It charged again, this time with even more ferocity. Lumian dodged the attack once again, using his agility to stay one step ahead of the beast.

As the werewolf turned to face him, Lumian Stood saw his chance. He lunged forward, plunging the knife deep into the werewolf's side. The beast howled in agony and collapsed to the ground.

Lumian stood over the werewolf, panting heavily. He had won the fight, but he knew he couldn't stay there for long. He quickly gathered his wits and ran, leaving the wounded werewolf behind.

As he disappeared into the night, Lumian knew that he had faced his fears and emerged victorious. And he knew that he would never forget the night he defeated a werewolf with nothing but a kitchen knife.

After a while of staying inside the house, he came back outside to find the werewolf just to see if I truly died.

then, without notice, a red energy began to accumulate within the werewolf much to my surprise.

" they all had Byonder characteristics"

Looking at the red orbs that we're now in my hands, a large ding went off in my head

-Analyzing complete

-User has acquired 3x Hunter Byonder characteristics

My eyes widen three if I remember correctly, if you take more lower beyond are characteristics, the ability is enhanced, but the digestion of the potion becomes even slower and there's a possibility of me losing control.

' why would one werewolf three Hunter characteristics?'

A smile lid off of my face as a began to feel the rush of euphoria spread through my entire body right now right here I could've attain power not just once but three times over.

Some people might seem crazy because I thought of losing control but there's one thing you forgotten the system says he'll keep my consciousness awake long enough for me not to lose control.

" question is whether I wanna pop in my mouth right now or wait and go to Fors and get the potion I don't remember"

Over bearing tiredness come over me I began to go back reality. I'll just leave this for mourning me it will be his problem.
