Arav's hands were shaking.
He stared at the glowing symbol on his palm.
The strange mark was slowly moving, as if it was alive."This… can't be real," Arav whispered.
Just a few minutes ago he was sleeping peacefully.
Now everything felt strange and frightening.
Suddenly his phone vibrated again.A new message appeared on the screen.
Unknown Sender:
"The Dream Mark has awakened."
Arav quickly typed back.
Arav:
"Who are you? What is happening to me?"
For a moment there was no reply.Then another message appeared."You have entered the Dream World.""You are now a Dream Walker."Arav felt a chill run down his spine.Before he could reply againThe lights in his room suddenly went out.Darkness filled the room.Arav slowly stood up.
"Hello…?" he said nervously.
No one answered.But then he heard something.A soft scratching sound.From the corner of his room.Arav slowly turned his head.And his heart almost stopped.
Standing in the darkness Was a tall shadow.Its body looked like black smoke.Its red eyes were glowing in the dark.Arav immediately recognized it."The Night Hunter…" he whispered.The creature slowly stepped forward."You should not have entered the Dream World," it said in a deep terrifying voice.Arav stepped back."How are you here?!" he shouted.The monster smiled."Dream Walkers are never safe… even in the real world."Suddenly the creature jumped toward Arav.
Arav closed his eyes in fear.
But then—The symbol on his hand started glowing bright blue.A powerful wave of light exploded from his body.The Night Hunter was thrown backward across the room.
It crashed into the wall with a loud sound.The monster looked shocked."So… it's true," it growled."You really have the Dream Core."Arav looked at his glowing hand."What… is happening to me?" he said.The Night Hunter slowly stood up again.Its red eyes burned with anger."This is only the beginning, Dream Walker."Before Arav could react—The monster suddenly disappeared into the darkness.The room became silent again.Arav stood there, breathing heavily.Then his phone vibrated once more.A final message appeared.
Unknown Sender:
"Good. Your power has awakened."
"But be careful."
"The Night Hunter is not the most dangerous enemy in the Dream World."
