Chapter Summaries

Angel arranged for Cameron, a Legendary Wizard from Newk Academy, to share knowledge with Savage Cave wizards in the Dream Wilderness. After consulting the Inspector, Angel recruited Iron Armor Granny, Tree Spirit, Wallace, and Gloria to meet Cameron, who logged in at Firstheart City.

• Angel realized Cameron was not bound by the Inspector's knowledge restrictions and planned to learn from him.
• The Inspector advised Angel not to speak with Cameron alone and recommended Savage Cave wizards who could hold their own in conversation.
• Iron Armor Granny, Tree Spirit, and Wallace agreed to meet Cameron and prepare to learn from him.
• The Inspector suggested involving someone who studied the Dream Wilderness's remarkable creatures, so Angel contacted Gloria.
• Angel arranged for Cameron to log in at Firstheart City, where he appeared in an alley beside the Ocean Theater.

Cameron arrived in Firstheart City, met Jon, and received a Mother Tree Interlink before leaving for New City by airship. Afterward, Angel searched Dreamwalking Wonderland’s Authority and discovered that memories could generate new NPCs and instances, then found information about Fairy Forest and how its special NPC had appeared.

• Cameron entered Firstheart City, and Yada led him to Jon after Cameron noticed someone watching from a Treehouse window.
• Jon gave Cameron a Mother Tree Interlink, and they discussed the Mother Tree Network until Cameron nearly missed his airship.
• Angel observed Cameron through the God's-eye view, confirmed Cameron could not detect it, and then logged off.
• Angel searched Dreamwalking Wonderland’s Authority and learned that Memory Forest could create NPCs and instances from memories, while some of Laplace’s prospective Time Doppelgängers had become special NPCs or served other purposes.
• Angel found information about Gloomnight Pure Land, Desire Dungeon, and Fairy Forest, and discovered how Fairy Forest’s special NPC had appeared.

Angel learned how to summon the Rainbow Sprite and planned to establish a surface settlement where a natural rainbow could appear. Meanwhile, Luigi attempted Uriel’s Choice before an audience but froze and postponed his performance, while Gleipnir revealed the Rainbow Sprite’s troubled history and why Laplace had abandoned her as a Time Doppelgänger candidate.

• Angel learned that the Rainbow Sprite appeared when a settlement lay beneath a natural rainbow, and decided to build a surface settlement in the Dream Crystal Plain.
• Luigi asked Angel, Laplace, and Gleipnir to watch him challenge Uriel’s Choice so he could clear the instance and meet Jon in person.
• Angel checked on Miu Miu’s progress in Tomorrow Town, then joined Laplace and Gleipnir to watch Luigi enter Uriel’s instance.
• Luigi remained motionless as Uriel played the piano, then announced that he was postponing the challenge to adjust his state, though he claimed to have found a solution.
• Gleipnir explained that the Rainbow Sprite had been considered as a Time Doppelgänger candidate but was sealed in the Memory Forest after her memories revealed extreme narcissism that had led to her death.

Angel agreed to bring Nafidote, the Rainbow Fairy, into the Dream Crystal Plain and planned a surface settlement called Rainbow Town. Meanwhile, Luigi began a new main quest to help Uriel resolve his inner conflict, but the letter at its center contained only uncertain reward information.

• Gleipnir explained Nafidote’s personality and the Fairy Forest’s possible benefits, and Angel agreed to let her arrive in the Dream Crystal Plain.
• Angel, Gleipnir, and Laplace chose to build Rainbow Town above Rabbit Town and speculated that entry to the Fairy Forest might depend on praising Nafidote’s beauty.
• Luigi’s Fairyland Instance loaded the main quest to use his instrument to untie Uriel’s heart, while Angel discovered that Uriel’s sealed letter contained only ungenerated reward information.
• Uriel put the letter away and began playing the piano, and Luigi accompanied him on the harp, gradually calming the turmoil in Uriel’s music.

Luigi completed the first quest in Uriel’s dreamland and entered the attic, where he had to speak with Uriel in a Dreamseeing state. When Uriel asked him to choose between a dazzling stage and a dream stage fated to end in obscurity, Luigi chose the dream stage and challenged Uriel’s certainty that failure was inevitable.

• Luigi’s music calmed Uriel, completing Main Quest 1 and unlocking the attic.
• Luigi entered the attic as Main Quest 2 began, and Angel could not explain what Uriel’s Dreamseeing state meant.
• Uriel appeared dazed and asked Luigi which of two stages he should choose: one fated to shine brightly or one fated to leave in dim obscurity.
• Luigi asked why the obscure stage was an option, and Uriel called it the stage of dreams.
• Luigi chose the stage of dreams, saying he would have no regrets even if it ended in obscurity, and suggested that he and Uriel might change its fate together.

Luigi showed Uriel the Clown’s letter of recommendation and learned that Uriel would not partner with anyone or give up his own qualification for the stage of dreams. After Luigi revealed his Birmingham Eden Academy badge, Uriel offered to recommend him to the Imperial Music Troupe’s chief if Luigi could impress him with a performance.

• Uriel asked Luigi who he was, and Luigi answered by showing him the Clown’s Letter of Recommendation.
• Uriel explained that he would perform alone because his only partner had gone to the Radiant Sanctuary, and said a performer needed to rank among the Sequence Continent’s top three to reach the stage of dreams.
• Uriel challenged Luigi to perform and offered a recommendation to Birmingham Eden Academy if Luigi could match the Imperial Music Troupe’s average level.
• Luigi showed Uriel his Birmingham Eden Academy badge, which Uriel recognized as the Clown’s, and Uriel mistook it as a sign that the Clown had entrusted Luigi with his hopes.
• Uriel offered to recommend Luigi to the Imperial Music Troupe’s chief if Luigi could perform at the level of one of its top three seats, giving him a possible path to the stage of dreams.

Luigi challenged Uriel with a harp performance but failed to earn his approval, reaching only the twentieth seat of the Imperial Music Troupe. After Luigi logged off, Uriel awoke in Dawn City with a faint memory of hearing a harp in a dream.

• Luigi accepted Main Quest 3 and learned he had seven daily attempts to gain Uriel's approval by performing while Uriel was Dreaming.
• Luigi performed on the harp as Angel, Gleipnir, and Laplace discussed the Dreaming state and its possible role in the challenge.
• Uriel vanished without comment, and the Wonderland prompt recorded Luigi's failure and ranked him at the twentieth seat of the Imperial Music Troupe.
• Luigi found himself confined to the attic until the next challenge and logged off after Angel agreed to discuss helping him find sheet music.
• In Dawn City, Uriel listened to the Radiant Cathedral's morning hymn and remembered a dream in which someone had played the harp.

Angel learned that Luigi planned to use rare scores for his remaining Main Quest 3 performances, then hurried to Rabbit Town after World-Grinding Day began. A mutated mushroom linked to Laplace’s Time Doppelgänger Mushroom Concubine had overrun a Rabbit Tower, and Laplace entered the resulting Fairyland Instance to assess the danger.

• Luigi planned to choose three rare scores from the Tooth Fairy Ruins and asked Angel to find three more for his performances against Uriel.
• Luigi returned to Heart Space and warned Angel that World-Grinding Day had arrived, prompting Angel to log into Rabbit Town.
• Angel saw residents fleeing a Rabbit Tower where spreading mycelium had swallowed people across several floors.
• Gleipnir explained that mushrooms brought back from Silver Coral Island had mutated, producing a giant mushroom that ate a resident and his wife.
• Angel and Gleipnir identified the mushroom as Mushroom Concubine, one of Laplace’s Time Doppelgängers, and learned that Laplace had entered her dangerous Fairyland Instance.

Angel and Gleipnir evacuated the new residents as the mycelium stopped spreading, then Laplace emerged from a combat-type Fairyland Instance called World-Grinding Day. After hearing her account, Angel revealed that Mushroom Concubine was on the eighteenth floor.

• Angel told the new residents to evacuate without taking anything from Silver Coral Island, and he and Gleipnir discussed how resources might trigger Fairyland Instances.
• Laplace appeared on the sixteenth floor and cut through the mycelium before returning to Angel and Gleipnir at Rabbit Tower.
• Laplace described World-Grinding Day, where she had fought Corpse Grinders in a vast ruined city and earned a knife and a pointer that led to the exit.
• Angel wondered whether the Corpse Grinders could spread an infection, while Gleipnir worried about the new residents trapped inside the instance.
• Angel said Mushroom Concubine was on the eighteenth floor, surprising Laplace.

Angel, Laplace, and Gleipnir were transported into the World-Grinding Day Instance after Laplace attacked Mushroom Concubine, who had lost her reason and fused with a giant mushroom. Angel surveyed the vast, monster-filled Instance, located seventy-five trapped new residents, and began coordinating a rescue before the group split up.

• Mushroom Concubine repeated that World-Grinding Day had come and attacked with mycelium, while a light barrier blocked Laplace's dagger and transported Angel, Laplace, and Gleipnir to a safe house.
• Angel concluded that Wonderland's power was protecting Mushroom Concubine and that the mushroom might be Mushroom Concubine herself, but prioritized rescuing the new residents.
• Angel used his observer's view to survey the enormous, expanding Instance and found three cities, numerous fungal creatures, and many Corpse Grinders.
• Angel located seventy-five new residents scattered among safe houses, with most in one city and five in the other two.
• Angel marked the residents' locations, warned Laplace and Gleipnir to avoid injuries, and the three split up to begin the rescue.

Angel and the others rescued the new residents trapped in the World-Grinding Day Instance, leaving behind several people who chose to stay and three who were infected by Corpse Grinders. After learning that the mushroom’s spread would stop without more victims, Angel and Gleipnir arranged safeguards for Rabbit Tower and began organizing resource management.

• Angel and his companions found seventy-five new residents across the Instance’s cities; sixty-five left, while three infected people and seven others stayed behind by necessity or choice.
• Laplace and Gleipnir discovered that five residents in another city—a battle maniac, thief, hero, schemer, and court mage—refused rescue and planned to keep exploring.
• Angel explained that the mushroom had triggered the Instance, that Mushroom Concubine needed a hidden quest to recover, and that the mycelium could not spread farther without swallowing more people.
• Gleipnir agreed to restrict access to Rabbit Tower rather than seal it, and she took charge of relocating residents and setting entry requirements.
• Gleipnir formed resource management, coordination, and experiment teams to assess materials that might trigger further Fairyland Instances.

Angel investigated the Dreamseeing status in the Uriel instance and discovered that it connected Fairyland Instances to living people in reality through their dreams. He concluded that Uriel was still alive, though the status’s deeper mechanics remained unknown.

• Angel posted a Dream Wilderness task seeking six rare musical scores and asked Liana to find an appraiser.
• Angel told Jon about Luigi’s orchestra audition, and Jon agreed to organize Earth musical scores to help him.
• Tree Spirit told Angel that Regina had agreed to contact Bauxia and recommend Qili for help with the perfume wizard circle.
• Angel reflected on the growing number of Dreamwalking Wonderlands and searched the Authority Tree for answers about Dreamseeing.
• Angel learned that living people could enter Fairyland Instances as Dreamseeing NPCs while asleep, and that their experiences in the instances became dreams projected into reality.
• Angel inferred that Uriel was alive in reality and became excited by Dreamwalking Wonderland’s ability to affect reality, though he was left with further unanswered questions.

Angel considered what the seven-day limit on Uriel’s Dreamseeing state meant and wondered how the Wonderland Authority reached across space and time. Luigi failed his latest challenge despite performing the rare piece “Spirit Soaring,” leaving him to seek even rarer music for his remaining attempts.

• Angel speculated that the Dreamseeing state might last only seven days or that an unavoidable change would soon affect Uriel, and he wondered whether the Wonderland Authority used paths through special worlds.
• After recovering through meditation, Angel entered Heart Space and found Luigi resting with a sheet of music from the Tooth Fairy Ruins.
• Angel joined Luigi in the Dream Crystal Plain and learned that Luigi’s performance of “Spirit Soaring” had failed to clear Main Quest 3, though it improved his evaluation to Fifteenth Seat of the Imperial Music Troupe.
• Luigi and Angel concluded that Uriel might not favor the piece’s style, so Luigi planned to seek rare sheet music in Tooth Fairy Paradise or at a gathering of multiple races.
• Luigi logged off to search for music while Angel offered to ask his contacts about the sheet music they had been asked to find.

Angel met with Liana and Broy in New City to review sheet music collected for his task. Broy selected “Night Sparrow's Dancing Rhapsody” as the strongest score, and Angel instructed him to keep searching for something even more suitable.

• Angel visited Star Attendant, found him still unresponsive, and sealed him with an illusion spell before entering Dream Wilderness.
• Angel met Liana at her Crown Building office, where he greeted Mary Sue and learned that Broy was the appraiser Liana had recruited.
• Liana explained that Broy was Ivanasha's student and had received criticism from Kundela after creating sword-and-music techniques; Angel praised his talent.
• Broy presented six rare scores from more than a hundred submissions and recommended “Night Sparrow's Dancing Rhapsody” as the most compelling.
• Angel kept “Night Sparrow's Dancing Rhapsody,” rejected the other scores, and told Broy to bring him only the best future submission, which had to surpass the chosen piece.

Angel used Luigi’s performances to give Broy a standard for finding music scores that might help Luigi place in the top three, and offered to consider reforging Broy’s sword if one of his scores helped. He then saw a chance to address the Aquarium’s dying creatures by involving Cameron, who was discussing Gloria’s unusual creations.

• Angel showed Broy an illusion of Luigi’s harp performance and gave him Spirit Soaring to assess, then explained Luigi’s twentieth- and fifteenth-place ratings as references for finding better scores.
• Angel told Broy that Luigi had five days and five chances to reach the top three, and offered to consider reforging his sword if a score Broy found helped Luigi succeed.
• After Broy left, Liana suggested controlling the evaluator; Angel said he preferred following the rules but considered other approaches, including divining where a successful score could be found.
• Liana told Angel that the Aquarium’s unfamiliar creatures were dying because no one could find suitable ecological niches for them, and said Gloria had no solution.
• Angel saw Cameron discussing one of Gloria’s creatures on Delicacy Island and proposed that Liana approach Gloria, expecting Cameron’s interest and expertise to help solve the Aquarium’s problem.

Angel watched Cameron volunteer to solve the Aquarium’s ecological problems, then entered Tomorrow Town’s Instance to observe Miu Miu’s confession. Miu Miu listed twenty-nine discordant elements and added that the entire town was fake; the Reincarnation stopped, and she woke in a dark space before a sandbox of Tomorrow Town.

• Liana asked Gloria for help with the Aquarium, but Cameron offered to solve its creature ecology instead.
• Angel left to place a musical score for Luigi, then entered Tomorrow Town’s Instance through its crystal sandbox.
• Angel watched Miu Miu reach the church and begin confessing the differences she had recorded across her Reincarnations.
• Miu Miu listed twenty-nine discordant elements, including the guard, the market, Mayor Kuisiting, and the nun.
• As the confession countdown ended, Miu Miu realized Tomorrow Town was fake, and the Reincarnation did not begin again.
• Miu Miu awoke in a dark space before a sandbox containing Tomorrow Town.

Miu Miu completed Tomorrow Town’s first quest, restored her lost memories, and entered an expanded town to begin a new search quest. Angel watched from the Box Garden but realized he would need to compare multiple Reincarnations to identify the target.

• Miu Miu touched the sandbox, completed the first quest, and watched Tomorrow Town expand with a new area unlocked.
• Miu Miu entered the reborn Tomorrow Town, recovered her lost memories, and learned she was a painter who had entered the world through the Charlie Royal House’s Secret Pine Stone Mirror.
• Miu Miu received Main Quest 2, which asked her to find a person whose outward identity could change between Reincarnations, and learned she would play the detective of Miu Miu Detective Agency.
• Miu Miu visited the agency and discovered its enhanced analytical abilities and the Pigeon Scout Team, which she eagerly went to meet.
• Angel observed the expanded Tomorrow Town and concluded that he would need to compare the target’s inner personality across multiple Reincarnations to identify them.

Angel returned to the Heart Space and found that Gleipnir and Laplace had salvaged a large haul of physical objects from the Empty Mirror Sea. After identifying most of the haul as ordinary or useful to others, Angel focused on the remaining bottle of pale yellow liquid, whose contents were still unknown.

• Angel decided not to contact Miu Miu, who was preparing a pigeon scouting team to investigate Tomorrow Town, and went offline.
• Angel returned to the Heart Space, where Gleipnir and Laplace explained that a nearby Sea Eye had erupted with physical objects from the Empty Mirror Sea.
• Laplace divided the haul into three groups and identified the largest as ordinary objects, including fragrant wood valued by the Aroma-Seeking Tribe.
• Angel recognized a withered Beastblood Tree and Bloodboiling Stones from the Savage World among the extraordinary objects.
• Laplace revealed that one bottle contained memory fragments from a Wild God's subordinate, which she planned to use for a provisional Time Doppelgänger.
• Angel turned his attention to the other bottle, which held an unidentified pale yellow liquid.

Angel and Laplace assessed bloodline essence extracted from a Wild God's subordinate and watched Gleipnir retrieve a large, unidentified stone from the Empty Mirror Sea. Once it entered the Heart Space, Angel and Laplace recognized it as an enormous piece of Nightmare Stone, leaving them with a potentially priceless discovery.

• Laplace explained that the bottle contained bloodline essence extracted from the remains of a Wild God's subordinate and said the Empty Mirror Sea had raised its fusion success rate while stripping away some of its distinctive traits.
• Angel considered using the Empty Mirror Sea to purify rare bloodlines for profit, but Laplace explained that purification could erase the very abilities that made them valuable.
• Gleipnir spotted a large, porous black object floating on the Empty Mirror Sea and carefully pulled it into the Heart Space with the Object Collector.
• Angel told Laplace that the stone looked familiar and waited until Gleipnir had retrieved it before confirming what it was.
• After sensing the stone's energy in the Heart Space, Laplace identified it as Nightmare Stone, and Angel realized its enormous size made it an exceptionally valuable find.

Angel and Gleipnir discussed the Nightmare Stone salvaged from the Empty Mirror Sea and sorted the recovered objects after no more appeared. Angel decided to cultivate the Beastblood Tree in the Heart Space, leaving the story with the tree planted in a specially crafted flower stand beside the Illusion Cottage.

• Angel and Laplace considered whether the Nightmare Stone had come from a passage to the Nightmare Realm in the Savage World, but agreed they could not verify it.
• Laplace left for the Dream Wilderness, while Angel accepted the salvaged objects except for a bottle of memory fragments she kept.
• Gleipnir explained that the objects held little value for Mirror Realm creatures and advised Angel to trade unwanted items for condensate crystals before the multi-race gathering.
• Angel sorted the recovered objects and chose to keep the Beastblood Tree, whose fruits could benefit wizards with Savage World Demonic Beast bloodlines.
• Angel crafted a large flower stand with cultivation magic patterns, filled it with soil, planted the Beastblood Tree, and placed Demonic Blood Ore nearby.
