Chapter Summaries

Anvis returned to Fiona’s side after arranging for an Avatar to bear the Inheritance Land’s Dark Side, and he considered how to help Fiona awaken the power fate had once assigned her. Meanwhile, the Trial-takers hunted Nightmare Spirits as the Inheritance Land neared completion, then argued over whether to flee or pursue the wounded Nightmare Spirit King.

• Anvis sent the Four Nightmares to act as villains, left his Nightmare Spirit King power in an Avatar, and resumed his White Rabbit identity beside Fiona.
• Anvis considered how to make Fiona face the crisis independently and bring forth the power she had shown in her original fate.
• Trial-takers hunted a powerful black-tree Nightmare Spirit and divided the fragments it left behind.
• Dream Ferryman urged the Trial-takers to escape before the Nightmare Spirit King grew stronger, while Flickering Dream argued they should hunt it while it was wounded.
• The Trial-takers debated whether to pursue the Nightmare Spirit King or abandon the Inheritance Land, while Duchess Linna felt confident in her position under Marquis Vent.

After the Four Nightmares returned without defeating the Nightmare Spirit King, the trial-takers set out to investigate them. Marquis Vent learned that Fiona was still in the Dream World and rushed toward the royal palace, where Anvis sensed an unpredictable Ninth Rank threat approaching.

• Fiona notified the trial-takers that the Four Nightmares had returned, and Griffin led a group to investigate Lustful Lilith.
• Linna left the group after receiving a signal and contacted Marquis Vent, telling him that the Nightmare Spirit King had escaped the Four Nightmares.
• Marquis Vent decided to prioritize reaching Fiona over pursuing the wounded Nightmare Spirit King and concealed himself as he rushed to the royal palace.
• Anvis sensed a powerful danger approaching Fiona and used a divination Ritual, which left him suspecting Marquis Vent or Marquis Beihim.

Anvis prepared for Marquis Vent’s likely attack and warned Fiona that a powerful enemy was approaching, while Duke Carlot remained trapped in a dangerous dream world. As Fiona described her home and family to Anvis, she revealed that she believed she could eventually return to her original life.

• Anvis suspected Marquis Vent was targeting Fiona and prepared to face him, while awaiting the Nightmare Spirit King's avatar.
• Duke Carlot tried to escape a dream world without waking the tentacled Dragon sleeping at its center.
• Fiona welcomed Mr. White Rabbit back and told him about the changes in the Dream World and her new ability to sense Nightmare Spirits.
• Anvis warned Fiona that a powerful enemy was approaching, and Fiona strengthened the Rule Shield around the city.
• Fiona told Anvis about her family, her home, and her Fourth Brother as curious animals gathered to listen.

Fiona recounted her past and her wish to grow strong while spending time with the animals, but Marquis Vent broke into the city and trapped the palace. As he attacked Fiona and killed the animals, Anvis prepared to use the one chance he had to stop him.

• Fiona told the animals how Fourth Brother had protected her at the Academy and was captured by a terrifying enemy, and she explained that she wanted to grow strong enough to protect herself.
• Fiona sensed that the city's defenses had been breached and warned the animals, but Marquis Vent froze the palace in time and trapped it in a shrinking cube.
• Marquis Vent used a short sword to attack Fiona with soul threads, but Anvis broke through the restraints with his pocket watch and blocked the strike.
• Marquis Vent sent more soul threads at the animals, killing them all except Anvis, and Fiona's grief unleashed a violent surge of Rule Power that forced the cube to expand.
• Anvis recognized the short sword as the source of much of his danger and, sensing something in his breast pocket, resolved to use his sole chance to confront Marquis Vent.

Marquis Vent broke the cube’s connection to the Dream World and escaped Anvis’s time-distortion attack, but his broken sword still struck Anvis as he shielded Fiona. Anvis’s figure faded away after reaching toward Fiona, leaving her to recognize him as her brother.

• Marquis Vent used his Mystic Short Sword to separate the cube from the Dream World, stripping Fiona and Anvis of the world’s rule support.
• Anvis released the Dragon-Shaped Brass Badge’s Time Distortion, forcing Marquis Vent to destroy his sword and flee the light.
• Marquis Vent realized the badge was the source of the danger and attacked Fiona with the Broken Sword’s Gray Line.
• Anvis turned the badge toward the attack and shielded Fiona, but the Gray Line pierced him and shattered the badge.
• Anvis appeared above the fallen White Rabbit, and Fiona recognized him as her brother before he faded into golden motes.

Marquis Vent attacked Fiona after believing he had killed Anvis, but Anvis survived by switching places with an Avatar and later headed toward Fiona’s world. Fiona defeated Marquis Vent and vowed to purge the world of its invaders, while Anvis sensed that something was wrong as he approached.

• Marquis Vent mistook Anvis’s apparent death for the real thing and attacked Fiona, who unleashed her bloodline power and fought back.
• Anvis revealed that he had escaped the attack by switching with an Avatar, though the strike damaged a page of the Old Days Secret Scripture and erased his White Rabbit identity.
• Anvis set off for Fiona’s world to collect his reward, hoping to take advantage of the aftermath of Fiona’s battle.
• Duchess Linna returned to the ruined city and found Fiona standing alone, holding the rabbit’s foot.
• Fiona recognized Linna, ordered her to notify the other invaders, and vowed to make them pay; Anvis then sensed an ominous presence as he hurried toward the world.

Anvis postponed traveling to Fiona's world after sensing danger, then learned that Fiona had driven the Four Nightmares and other Nightmare Spirits into retreat. He approved their escape, recognized that Fiona had awakened her potential, and reflected that he would have to pay for his earlier choice.

• Anvis sensed danger pointing toward Fiona and decided to contact the Four Nightmares before entering her world.
• Fiona and her forces drove the Four Nightmares from the world, while she marked every Nightmare Spirit there with her Rule Power.
• The Four Nightmares argued in an unnamed dream until Hughes revealed that Fiona's mark could not be removed with his Authority power.
• Anvis appeared in a newly formed black Dragon body and listened as the Four Nightmares explained their retreat.
• Anvis approved their escape, saw that Fiona had awakened her potential, and acknowledged the cost of his earlier choice.

Anvis used the Rule Marks Fiona placed on the Four Nightmares to test her strength, while Fiona hunted nightmare spirits and sought the Nightmare Spirit King. As Fiona grew suspicious of the Four Nightmares and tested the Trial-takers around them, Linna entered a Dream World and found herself facing the Four Nightmares and an immense Black Dragon.

• Anvis noticed Fiona’s marks on the Four Nightmares, decided not to erase them, and ordered the spirits to split up without setting a trap.
• Fiona waited for the Inheritance Land to absorb her Dream World, then used her new permissions to lead Trial-takers in hunting marked nightmare spirits.
• Fiona remembered that the Nightmare Spirit King had caused the White Rabbit Pocket Watch’s power to fall silent before Anvis died, and swore to punish everyone responsible.
• The Four Nightmares briefly fought Fiona before escaping, making her suspect they were drawing her toward a trap, so she devised a test for the Trial-takers.
• Linna entered a small Dream World to check it for danger and found the Four Nightmares waiting around a massive Black Dragon, whose Nightmare Power stirred uncontrollable desires in her.

Anvis let Linna escape after probing her desires, then transformed a small dream world into a powerful battlefield with the Strange Branch. After Linna warned Fiona that the enemy had gathered there, Fiona decided to force them out by opening a connection to the Deep Dream World.

• Anvis drew out Linna's desires until she nearly lost herself, then stopped and let her recover.
• Linna used a life-saving item to escape and report to Fiona that Anvis and the Four Nightmares had gathered in a small dream world.
• Anvis took basic authority over the dream world, merged its floating Gravel Belts into a continent, and had Hughes plant the Strange Branch to create a powerful battlefield.
• Fiona questioned Linna and concluded that the enemy's gathering place was likely a trap.
• Fiona chose to force the enemy to leave and ordered the Trial-takers to pry open a connection between their world and the background of the Deep Dream World.

Fiona led a group of trial-takers into Anvis’s dream world through a crack left by their collision, where she confronted him beneath the Jet-Black Giant Tree. Anvis and Fiona began a fierce battle while the Four Nightmares attacked the other intruders.

• Anvis used the Nightmare Spirit King's Authority and the Jet-Black Giant Tree’s power to resist and mend the rift caused by Fiona’s collision with the dream world.
• Fiona realized the damaged world was repairing itself and ordered the trial-takers to enter through its largest crack before it closed.
• Fiona’s mental force field shielded the intruders from the desires radiating from Anvis and the world.
• Anvis and Fiona’s opposing Rule Domains clashed as the Four Nightmares attacked the other trial-takers.
• Anvis struggled to maintain the world’s stability while fighting Fiona, whose two-aura domain made her power unusually difficult to counter.

Anvis used stored Desire Authority and Dragon Breath to pressure Fiona, but she transformed and powered up, forcing the battle into a fierce clash of domains. Anvis then drew power from the Dark Green Giant Tree, regained the advantage, and waited for Fiona’s temporary state to run out.

• Anvis unleashed stored Desire Power spheres to force Fiona to protect the other trial-takers while his Dragon Breath struck her shrinking domain.
• Fiona transformed her domain into two bird phantoms and manifested a Starlight Crown and platinum cloak, surging past Anvis in power.
• Fiona’s Icy Wind Crystal Bird attacked Anvis’s domain while her Radiant Bird of Paradise showered it with platinum light.
• Anvis drew power from the Dark Green Giant Tree, overwhelming Fiona’s domain and shattering one wing of her Crystal Bird phantom.
• Anvis and Fiona continued their intense domain battle as he relied on time to outlast her powered-up state.

Fiona reversed the marks she had placed on the Nightmare Spirits, destabilizing the giant tree that empowered Anvis and shifting the battle in her favor. Anvis then abandoned his effort to preserve the world and launched a final, all-out attack, leaving Fiona to brace for their decisive clash.

• Fiona used the White Rabbit Pocket Watch and Lucky Rabbit Foot to restore her erased marks on the Nightmare Spirits.
• The restored mark struck Hughes with white-gold radiance, and its aftershock destabilized the giant tree while Anvis rescued her.
• A rift in the sky drained more of the tree's power, and Fiona realized it would collapse before her transformation ended.
• Anvis withdrew the power stabilizing the world and unleashed his Burning Rule, charging Fiona with the tree's remaining power amplifying his attack.
• Fiona contracted her domain and summoned two giant bird phantoms to shield herself from Anvis's charge.

Fiona fought Anvis’s Nightmare Spirit King Avatar and nearly lost when her domain began to collapse, but the fairy-tale beings from “Fiona’s Adventures in Wonderland” answered her call and gave her the strength to prevail. As the Nightmare Spirit King’s burning power faded, Fiona dismantled it and won the battle, while Anvis congratulated her.

• Anvis’s Nightmare Spirit King Avatar crashed into Fiona’s domain, and the collision shattered the battlefield as the Nightmare Spirits watched.
• Anvis sensed Fiona’s domain weakening and prepared to end the fight, while Fiona believed she was about to die.
• Fiona remembered the White Rabbit and Anvis urging her not to give up, then called on the fairy-tale beings living in “Fiona’s Adventures in Wonderland.”
• The fairy-tale beings merged into Fiona and restored her strength, allowing her domain to hold as Anvis’s Burning Rule faded.
• Fiona ordered the two Bird Phantoms to trap and dismantle the Nightmare Spirit King, and Anvis congratulated her as she fainted from exhaustion.

After Fiona defeated the Nightmare Spirit King, she collapsed, leaving the trial-takers to approach her and covet the fallen Authority Fragments. Anvis emerged from the dark vortex at ninth rank, revealed that he had extracted a Desire Rule Seed for the Main Material World, and took two golden Authority Fragments from Fiona.

• Fiona broke the Nightmare Spirit King down into dream particles, then fell unconscious as Little Dragon Fia and Little Cat Kate caught her.
• Trial-takers rushed toward Fiona and the fallen Nightmare Spirit King's vortex, hoping to claim their Authority Fragments and eliminate their rival.
• The first trial-taker was stopped by an invisible barrier, and a black-robed figure emerged from the vortex as the trial-takers sensed his ninth-rank power.
• Anvis walked toward Fiona, explaining that he had separated the Desire Authority and extracted a genuine Desire Rule Seed for use in the Main Material World.
• Anvis gave the remaining Dream World Desire Authority to Lustful Lilith and drew two golden Authority Fragments from Fiona.

Anvis entered the core of the Inheritance Land after assembling the Authority Fragments and learned that its prophecy had named a girl as the inheritor. The Flower Fairy explained that the prophesied girl would carry the Key and the world’s fate, leaving Anvis to question why the inheritance had chosen him instead.

• The Dream Ferryman attacked Anvis and prompted many trial-takers to charge after him for the Authority Fragments.
• Anvis froze the attackers within a vast force-field domain, while the Dream Ferryman escaped during the chaos.
• Anvis repaired the miniature world, told the Four Nightmares to return to their strongholds, and opened the door to the Inheritance Land’s core.
• Anvis entered a white world with Fiona and the two little ones, then merged the Authority Fragments into the rainbow light.
• The fragments formed a Rainbow Trapezohedron and summoned a Flower Fairy, who told Anvis that an ancient prophecy had expected a girl to inherit the land.

Anvis learned that the Stellar Disk had brought him to the Inheritance Land, where Margaret guarded an inheritance originally intended for a woman from a prophecy. He disguised himself as Fiona to bypass the gender restriction, received the inheritance, and learned of a path to Legendary hidden beyond the Deep Dream.

• Margaret explained that her Creator had left the Inheritance Land and its inheritance for the person named in a prophecy, and confirmed that the Stellar Disk was the Key to the Final Weapon.
• Margaret warned that the inheritance was restricted to women, so Anvis removed his disguise and claimed Fiona was his younger sister after giving Fiona and her two Little Pets another dose to keep them asleep.
• Anvis took Margaret's hand and received the inheritance, including control of the Inheritance Land, Dream Magic, breakthrough knowledge, and coordinates to valuable Dream Worlds.
• Anvis saw the Creator's projection reveal that the path to Legendary lay beyond the Deep Dream and that the Key could open a gate beyond time and space, but the past could not be changed.

Anvis purified the Inheritance Land’s hidden Dark Side contamination and learned the Final Weapon was in the Central Library. Before leaving, he ordered Margaret to give Fiona equal control and make her believe she had received the Final Inheritance.

• Anvis asked Margaret to take him to the Final Weapon, and she said it was in a black High Tower in Holy City Yaina, whose location the Key could reveal.
• Anvis used the Old Days Secret Scripture to draw the contamination out of Margaret and seal it, while adjusting the Four Nightmares so they could continue to exist as ordinary Dream World beings.
• Margaret thanked Anvis and clarified that the Final Weapon was actually in the Central Library, warning him never to touch the ancient black High Tower.
• Margaret assured Anvis that the inheritance information he had received was valid, and he ordered her to grant Fiona equal control while hiding his existence from her.
• Anvis instructed Margaret to wake Fiona after he left, tell her she had obtained the Final Inheritance, and give her a copy of the inheritance information; then Anvis vanished.

Anvis took control of the Inheritance Land, transformed the Nightmare Spirits, and replaced the trial rules with a task system that would supply him with resources and allies. He waited with the sleeping Fiona for Duke Carlot, who arrived and found them safe.

• Anvis returned from the core region, and Lilith and the other Nightmares described how the Dark Side and nearly all Nightmare Spirits had vanished.
• Anvis used his control of the Inheritance Land to establish a task system, giving trial-takers rewards for developing resource worlds and gathering resources.
• Anvis arranged for half the resources to be made available to Fiona and hid the other half for his own forces in Yar Continent.
• After sensing Duke Carlot approaching, Anvis had Margaret release Fiona and the two little ones, then waited with the sleeping girl while the Four Nightmares went to mine.
• Duke Carlot arrived, worried that he might have come too late, and Anvis greeted him as Father.

Anvis returned to Yar Continent with Fiona after escaping the Deep Dream World, and the two reunited with the Olyvendi family. As Fiona recovered, members of the family began questioning whether their hands-off approach to her was wise.

• Anvis told Duke Carlot how he had escaped the Glory Secret Realm, entered the Deep Dream World, and found Fiona there through divination.
• Duke Carlot sensed an ancient Dark Being approaching, then opened a gate and brought Anvis and the sleeping Fiona back to Yar Continent.
• Anvis reunited with his family, but he could not identify the black-robed man who had fought the Priest in the Glory Secret Realm.
• Fiona woke in her room, realized her experiences in the dream world had been real, and smiled when she saw that Anvis was safe.
• The family confirmed Fiona was healthy, while some ninth-rank members privately questioned whether the family should continue its hands-off approach to her.

After the Olyvendi Family decided to keep observing Fiona, Anvis returned to the academy and learned that Duke Carlot would take him to the upcoming meeting of the Three Great Empires. Anvis practiced his new Dream World abilities before traveling to the Olyvendi estate, where the duke prepared to take him to the secret venue.

• Pomona argued that the Olyvendi Family should harvest Fiona, but Duke Carlot defended her, and the family chose to maintain the status quo and keep observing her.
• Anvis returned to the academy, ignored princes’ and princesses’ attempts to recruit him, and learned that the Three Great Empires’ heads-of-state meeting would soon take place.
• Duke Carlot told Anvis he would bring him to the meeting as his companion, explaining that the gathering would give him experience and a chance to develop his prophetic abilities.
• Anvis practiced using the Desire Seed, accidentally suppressed Harvey’s interest in women, then restored his desires after improving his control.
• Anvis used a mass of strange color to create a controllable mirror-image avatar, then traveled to the Olyvendi estate before the meeting.
