Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Endless darkness covered the vast land, within which whispered secrets lingered.

But with the appearance of a sphere of light—those voices halted instantly.

In the surrounding pitch dark, Zhou Baiyu seemed to make out the outlines of some buildings.

But they were very blurry.

The light flickered on and off, and Zhou Baiyu suddenly couldn't remember how he had gotten there.

It took him a while to slowly recall—

"I remember now, I seem to have been transported to the realm of the night demon. But somehow, it feels different from previous summons. Is this the Land of No Light? Indeed, it's pitch black..."

Zhou Baiyu looked around and discovered that the light was emanating from his own body.

His skin, because of the light, made visible a network of fine lines and grooves.

There was no other source of light around, and he seemed like a firefly, as if harboring a light source within his body.

The light illuminated the surroundings, allowing visibility of about three meters, which enabled Zhou Baiyu to find a house that belonged to him.

About five square meters, slightly bigger than a prison cell.

He held his breath and focused, able to hear many people breathing around him.

At that moment, Zhou Baiyu became even brighter; a desire to save these people surged in his heart.

His mind flashed back to when he swapped memories with Night Demon Nai Zhi—seeing the faces of those chasing after the light.

"Are these the people imprisoned in the Land of No Light?"

Zhou Baiyu guessed that perhaps just dispelling the night might redeem these people.

Of course, this required killing the king who was about to rise among the night demons, potentially even surpassing the Demon Emperor's level—Yong Ye.

And the way to dissolve the darkness was to use the wristwatch on his hand to turn night into day.

Night demons fear light.

And the watch given by Bai Ling's father was not about reversing night and day in terms of time, but visually.

That is, even if there was no day in this place, only eternal night, turning the watch could still summon a broad daylight.

But things took a turn different from what Zhou Baiyu had anticipated.

As Zhou Baiyu contemplated how to respond to the summon, the best time to use the watch, and where he actually was, wondering where Yong Ye might be...

He subconsciously touched his wrist.

The watch was gone.

"Oh no... where's my watch?"

In that instant, Zhou Baiyu suddenly realized that not only the watch but all his gear was gone.

Inventory—nonexistent.

Zhou Baiyu quickly checked his status, noticing some changes already.

[Identity: attendant.]

[Occupation: different walker.]

[Status: corruption value -9.]

[Evaluation: A poor sap who thought he could play a game of a warrior defeating a dragon with his accumulations, little did he know~ as soon as you approached the dragon, you were swallowed into its dream.]

[Personal Status: Guarded by the Great Pathfinder Wu Wei.]

[Personal Gear—What are you thinking? In Yong Ye's dream, do you think you can bully him? Naturally, no gear can be used in dreams. You need to figure out a way to wake up.]

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu stood still, stunned.

"Am I... in someone else's dream right now?"

Under the endless long night, every being falls into sleep...

Zhou Baiyu suddenly understood.

"So that's it, no wonder the Pathfinders never came back. They neither failed nor succeeded..."

"But were forcibly trapped in Yong Ye's dream? I must not have been in a dream at the start, but upon entering the area of the Land of No Light, enveloped by the night, I fell victim to the night demon's machinations, entering into a dream."

The night demon clan indeed possessed such capabilities. They could send those engulfed by the night into dreams.

And in dreams, night demons became almost infinitely powerful beings.

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt the gravity of the situation... the light on his body dimmed significantly.

Zhou Baiyu tried closing his eyes, to calm himself down.

He carefully analyzed his advantageous position.

He discovered that although in the dream, he was dressed in prisoner's clothes and all props were disabled,

his skill bar was still usable.

"Which means I can still transform. This means that even in a dream, I still have some abilities I can use."

"If I can find the Pathfinders who were trapped here before, maybe we can think of a way together..."

Defeating the night demon under the dark, and even more so a dream-version, was extremely difficult.

And if that night demon is likely to become the eighth Demon Emperor, and under the influence of the Gods Treasure... to activate the Divine Endowment and become the God of Nightmare and Nihility of Yong Ye, then the difficulty of the task could hardly be accomplished.

Zhou Baiyu could think of uniting with those trapped in the dream.

The situation was much more difficult than he had anticipated, but it seemed not entirely hopeless?

As he thought so, Zhou Baiyu's body became slightly brighter.

By adjusting his emotions, analyzing the situation, and changing his attitude—

Zhou Baiyu had a guess:

"Come to think of it, my light dimmed earlier, now it seems a bit brighter than before..."

"Is it related to my emotions?"

Looking at his prison uniform, Zhou Baiyu gradually understood the predicament.

"In Yong Ye's dream, I suppose everyone trapped here is a prisoner?"

"I need to find someone else to ask about the situation."

A single person, no matter how smart, can only have limited information.

What is special about this dream? Could there be some strange things in the dream? Where is Yong Ye? How can Yong Ye be killed? Why has Yong Ye imprisoned people in a dream?
