"The special dream realm 'Dawn's Dream' is about to open."
"Current participants: 0."
"Mission objective: Not yet activated."
"Attention: The initial activation of Dawn's Dream requires at least nine anchors."
The above was what had appeared in Angel's text panel when he had touched the vortex earlier.
At the time, he had suppressed the doubts in his heart and focused first on calming everyone down.
Only after everyone had left and he was alone in the room did he reveal a look of astonishment and suspicion for the first time.
"Why is the current participant count still blank?"

Uriel and Glaimo might be able to go offline, but Shi En couldn't, right?
So even if they had gone offline, there should at least have been one participant.

The hall itself was quite spacious, somewhat like the main hall of an aristocratic household. Even
