Welcome to School

"How is this possible!" The Lord of Incubus stared at the Giant View teacher, completely bewildered. But remembering yesterday's lesson, she forcibly suppressed her temper, preventing herself from continuing her descent into the Unknowable.

Even so, she didn't stop exploring the dream. She knew that if she could endure forty minutes, she would have a short break, during which she could use some of her powers. Even if, like yesterday, she could only use a small portion, it wouldn't be as bad as...

As she pondered, the Lord of Incubus suddenly frowned, for she could clearly sense that the number of her followers in this dream was increasing at an exaggerated rate.

"Damn it! This isn't a simple Native Dream, but a multi-person dream constructed from the dreams of multiple test takers!"

The Lord of Incubus made her judgment almost instantly, not because she was particularly clever, but because she knew that there was a deity called the "God of Games" who used a scrap of Dream System- related [Empathy Dream] power to build so-called Virtual Reality Online Game and thereby Ascend to Godhood.

The reason why she, Dream God who can be considered the "most ancient" level, could recognize this new generation of gods was not because she liked socializing. It was simply because after this thing came out, it even caused a collective layoff of Succubus for a period of time. However, she then developed a technology that allowed dream demons to enter virtual games to take on business, which allowed her to regain that share and even created a new Divine Duty related to "Virtual Prostitution".

"However, this seems to be different from the way the virtual game god works. Compared to Empathy Dream, it's more coercive, to the point that each individual has no control over the dream world, and can't even voluntarily log off or wake up!" The Lord of Incubus's brows furrowed more and more, but just as she continued to ponder, the Giant View teacher made a sound like a wet rag hitting glass—

"Put your homework in the upper right corner of the desk..."

"Homework? What's that?" The Lord of Incubus was slightly taken aback, then a huge mouth suddenly rose from beneath him, along with Liliana beside him, chewing on meat sauce...

"So it's finally moving!" The God of Nightmares floated above the Parlin Kingdom, a mocking smile on his face beneath his hood. He was powerless against the Lord of Incubus in reality, but monitoring one or two Nightmares was a piece of cake.

After the Lord of Incubus left, he began to pay attention to this matter, and just as he had predicted, as night deepened, more and more nightmares began to enter dreams at an abnormally high frequency, and then their numbers would decrease in a very short period of time.

"The casualties are limited to senior high school students; juniors and freshmen are not affected. However, these nightmares haven't touched adults, so it's uncertain whether teachers or other professionals have also been affected... But judging from the current situation, is it indeed a 'trap' constructed through the stressful Native Dream of senior high school students? This authority and 'nightmare' go very well together!"

With a smile on his face, beneath the God of Nightmares's cloak, a large amount of Black Mist began to spread, and the [Invasion] power was fully unleashed. Tonight, throughout the entire Parlin Kingdom, everyone will be trapped in a dream.

Then...

"Huh?" Finding himself suddenly seated, the God of Nightmares Borano Li slightly taken aback. Just a moment ago, he was still eroding the dream world...

"Trigger-type? As long as a part of it enters this dream, it will be pulled in completely?" The God of Nightmares was not flustered. He had already anticipated this situation of being forcibly entered into a dream. However, since the domain was achieved through the Native Dream, everything would be fine once the dream's owner woke up.

He had just spread his corrupting power, and all the dream owners who were corrupted would be affected by the "nightmare," which would make the nightmare parts of their dreams more intense, making it easier for them to wake up.

"What we need to do now is explore this Native Dream and figure out what kind of faith those high-priority rules are based on. If we can achieve it before he Ascend to Godhood, we can take it for ourselves. Even if we can't do it first, as long as we can swallow it before he obtains a large amount of Divine Power, we might be able to go further."

Borano Li was good, but at that moment, the refined-looking teacher on the podium frowned and said:

"Young man, you should take off your hat during class. Don't you even have this basic manners?"

"???" Borano Li looked at the teacher with confusion, but compared to the hot-tempered Lord of Incubus, he was more composed and could chat calmly even when his face was stepped on. Before he understood the rules of this dream, he did not confront him head-on, but calmly took off his hood, revealing his head made of Black Mist.

"Hiss--"

Many students secretly gasped at this "new classmate" who clearly wasn't human, lamenting how this lousy school could even capture non-human species, while wondering what race this new classmate actually was.

Borano Li felt those gazes, and the power of faith transmitted through them, and frowned slightly.

"The quality meets the normal standards for this kind of dream, but something just feels off. That look in her eyes... it's like..."

"Student, do you have any comments on the teacher's lecture?"

The sudden sound beside him startled Borano Li. How could he, the mighty God of Nightmares, have been completely unaware of someone quietly approaching?

However, he immediately turned his head and said in a humble manner:

"No, teacher."

"If that's the case, why didn't you take notes? You didn't even open your workbook... Or are you saying you've already memorized it all?"

The refined teacher smiled gently, and before Borano Li could speak, glanced at the corner of the book and said:

"Since that's the case, let's discuss how to understand this statement."

"..."

Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!

Compared to her two fallen colleagues, the God of Sweet Dreams had a very good night. However, as she sat in her Divine Kingdom absorbing faith, she showed a puzzled expression, because there was so much Divine Power tonight!

"What's going on? Usually, the Divine Power at night is less than 30%, why is it 80% tonight? I heard that the God of Nightmares fought with the Lord of Incubus during the day, but this amount... Could it be that the God of Nightmares killed all the Dream Demons? No way!"

Although the God of Sweet Dreams received much, her anxiety grew increasingly severe. She vaguely felt that she had overlooked something, or perhaps...

What has been overlooked?

"Could those two have been stolen by Outsider during the battle?"

The God of Sweet Dreams had this thought, and immediately began to drift towards the Divine Kingdom of the God of Nightmares...
