The night felt strange again.Aarav lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.Ever since the mark appeared on his hand, nothing felt normal. Suddenly…The mark began to glow again.A cold wind filled the room. Aarav closed his eyes for a second.When he opened them He was no longer in his room.He was standing in the Dream World again.Broken buildings surrounded him.The sky was dark purple.Lightning flashed across the clouds. Aarav's heart started beating faster. "Why am I here again?" he whispered.Suddenly, a deep voice echoed through the empty city."Because you belong here."A shadow slowly appeared from the darkness.Its eyes glowed bright blue.
Aarav stepped back."You again… Who are you?"The shadow looked at Aarav's glowing hand."That mark on your hand… is called the Dream Mark.""It only appears on those chosen by the Dream Core."Aarav frowned.
"Chosen? For what?"The shadow raised its hand and pointed toward the sky.
"Long ago, the Dream World protected the balance between dreams and nightmares."
"But that balance was broken."
"Now the Shadow King is rising."A loud roar suddenly echoed through the city.The ground shook.Aarav turned around quickly.
From the darkness…The Night Hunter stepped forward.Its red eyes burned with rage.Aarav froze."It found you again," the shadow said.The Night Hunter slowly began walking toward him.Each step made the ground crack.
Aarav's hand started glowing brighter.A strange energy flowed through his body."You must fight," the shadow said calmly."I don't know how!" Aarav shouted.The Night Hunter suddenly jumped forward.
Aarav closed his eyes and raised his hand.
For a moment Everything became silent.Then suddenly—A bright blue light exploded from Aarav's hand.
BOOM!
The Night Hunter was thrown across the street.Aarav slowly opened his eyes.The energy around his hand slowly faded.The shadow looked at him carefully."So it's true…" it whispered."You really carry the power of the Dream Core."Aarav looked confused."What does that mean?"The shadow stepped closer.
"It means only one thing…"
"You are not just a boy anymore."
"You are a Dream Walker."Far away in the dark sky…Two glowing red eyes opened.A deep voice whispered in the darkness."So the Dream Walker has awakened…"The Shadow King had finally noticed him.And the real nightmare…
Was about to begin.
