Dreamscape: Part IV
“Excuse me, 1st elder. What do you mean when you say that the tested may occupy another body? Aren’t we in charge of everything that has to do with the tests?” one of the many fairies asked the question that was on the minds of all the others.
“It is exactly as I said. Although we control the tests, that is only true for the first seven difficulty levels, and that is why we usually do not bother to inform you about the other four” the 1st elder was particularly patient and didn’t mind the constant interruptions. Rather, he revealed why the other four levels were hidden from the fairies.
“For the first seven difficulty levels, we can choose the setting and starting point, as well as the tested’s goal in order to pass the test. But for the other seven, the Dreamscape takes total control of their test administration process.”
“If that is the case, should we really have a lower ranked

“Agh” Mane groaned as he held his head. The splitting headache forced him to fall back onto the bed he so desperately wanted to rise up from. He tried to open his eyes to better understand his situation, but even that felt like a herculean task. Panting heavily from his repeated tries to get off the bed, Mane finally decided to wait for a while until he recovered his fleeting strength. After feeling his strength return to his body, Mane tried to lift himself up again. This time, he succeeded. Instinctively grabbing hold of the bed’s railings, Mane gradually opened his eyes.After his eyes had accustomed themselves to the light, Mane took a good look around. The first thing to register itself was the bed. It was a simple one person bed, and looked too small for even a housecat to fit in with him. Next to the bed was a strange looking table with what Mane assumed as a teapot, placed right on top of it. Light invaded the room from the small window close to the

“Wait,” Hildegarde silenced Mane. “Someone’s coming,” the fairy whispered into his ear.“The person who owns the place?” Mane asked, the volume of his voice reduced to match hers.“Yes.” Hildegarde assented. “He came a couple of times when you were asleep”“Are we related in any way?” Mane quickly enquired. His ‘Status’ showed that he was 15, not 11. It was either he was still in his own body, but in a more matured phase, or he was in another’s body.“I don’t think so,” Hildegarde shook her head. “You’re still using your body. Your growth was only accelerated”“That’s good to know” Mane sighed in relief.“Why do you ask?” Hildegarde cocked her head to the side in curiosity. Unfortunately, Mane didn’t see this adorable action because she was seated on his shoulder. And since he

“Well then, let me leave you to get some more rest. We’d talk more tomorrow morning” Dan released Mane’s hand and stood up. However, as he was reaching for the door, Mane stopped him and asked for a favor.“Hold on Sir Dan. If it isn’t too much to ask, can I get a couple of books to occupy my time?” Mane pleaded.Seeing that Dan was looking at him strangely, he quickly delivered an explanation for his actions. “I think that reading about world history and other things about magical beasts may help me remember something”“I see. Alright, I’d get you some books. No one is reading them anyway and they have longed for the touch of one seeking for wisdom. However, don’t do too much. When you get exhausted, promise me that you’d let go of the books and go to bed. It’s already nighttime.” Dan promised to do as Mane said, but he didn’t do so without leaving several warnings a

“This world is definitely underdeveloped” Mane sighed as he looked over the information he had been given. Dan arrived at his room only minutes ago to complete the final transfer. Yes, you heard right – final transfer. Mane assumed that the books were well compiled sources of information, but he was wrong. Sure they were called books just like in other worlds, but these so called books were just large sheets of paper bundled together and held by a very long string! The sheets weren’t light and crispy like what Mane was used to, rather they were hard and heavy and it was difficult to carry more than a few dozen at once. Dan delivered seven different bundles of these ‘books’. He had taken almost ten trips to bring them all here. The state of these ‘books’, brought a few things to Mane’s attention.Firstly, the papers were rough and coarse because they weren’t delicately processed. It wasn’t because Dan was poor o

Mane was given seven books by Dan. Although the author was unknown, Mane thought that it was likely that this person was a friend of Dan’s. A friend, or a subordinate.The books gave very detailed explanations of the current testing ground. Although this world didn’t have a name, all other information that pertained to its current affairs and the affairs of the few years before this one were mentioned in the book.This unknown world didn’t have any grand territories. There weren’t any magnificent kingdoms or empires, neither were there any associations of power that kept things in check. But there were common professions – jobs that people of this world have grown accustomed to in order to survive. However, before the professions could be properly introduced, it was necessary to understand more about the ones who shared the planet with the humans – the Magical Beasts.Magical Beasts were creatures that were far stronger than n

Within a small courtyard, there was a straw dummy. There was nothing particularly fancy about the dummy. It was crudely made and was nailed to the ground by a large iron rod. This dummy was positioned at one of the four corners of the courtyard. Usually this dummy was all alone, but not today. Today, there was someone standing right in front of the dummy. This person was a tall teenager with curiously good looks. The teenage boy was focused on striking the dummy in front of him. His brilliant golden hair swayed with every strike, and his steely blue eyes were filled with determination. His young face looked a tad bit more mature because of his beard. Every now and then, he’d stop to wipe off the sweat that got into his eyes. Then, he would continue. This boy was obviously Mane.*Bang**Bang*The loud sounds of the dummy being struck filled the courtyard for a good dozen minutes. Other than the few times Mane stopped to clean his sweat, he never gave himsel

“Since you are so great, why don’t we have a spar” Mane wanted to spar with Dan? Over the past few weeks, they had sparred a few times. Every time they fought, it was with a handicap. Dan only fought with one arm. He always fought with only his left arm, and never used his right arm or his legs. Mane who knew that Dan was right-handed, was very much aware of the fact that Dan had never fought seriously. It served to reinforce his belief that Dan was a First Generation Mystic Path Warrior who survived the battle against the Winged Serpent. His reasoning was simple.Although Mane wasn’t able to use any inner energy, the more he trained, the more his soul got used to this body. Hildegarde informed him that his injuries didn’t seem like ones caused by a banshee, and Mane assented. After learning about banshees, Mane knew that their attacks targeted the brain. Once their target became disoriented or had his/her brain ruptured, they would kill them ins

Mane dashed towards Dan with his arms tucked in. The veins on his arms throbbed as Mane prepared his muscles for a devastating attack. His legs moved speedily, and he covered a lot of ground quickly. Dan watched Mane’s approach with an approving smile. But within that smile, was a tinge of seriousness. Although he looked laid back, Mane didn’t leave any openings to be exploited. Finally, Mane reached Dan. He took a deep breath and prepared to unleash a strong punch.*Whoo*Dan jumped backwards in retreat as Mane exhaled. But the punch he was expecting never came. Mane who looked like he was about to put all his energy into his fists, kept them tucked in, and dashed to Dan’s side.“I see,” Dan mumbled to himself when he finally understood what was going on. Mane had a good head for battles. Dan wondered if the boy had received some sought of training before he lost his memory, since there was no other explanation for his strange and
