What happens when a twisted dream comes to life? does it still remain a dream? can you still control your desires for novelty? what would happen if you made and irreversible mistake in a judgment call? could you still wake up, pretending nothing ever happend? what even is, a 'dream' ? this is a story about a lone operator, who sadly, will never be able to dream again. Every day he has to make a choice : Chase his dreams or become hunted by them Subconsciously, he wishes for a normal life. Will he hunt them down and slay all his chances to make things right?
Our story starts when our operator was 17. but that is not the point. he started to dream since the age of 3.
When he first started dreaming he was terrified. as he grew older even more so. Terror grew to primal fear.
Here is usually the time where small children hit their 7th birthday. They finally start to realize that 'dreams' are "not real", that they "don't exist for real".
This is also where our young operator strays away from the norm. On average, the child starts not only having "bad dreams" but "good dreams" as well.
Sadly, our young operator isn't "Average"
Night after night, he keeps having 'nightmares'.
Dreams that should "not be real" yet are.
He would see, people, animals, plants and even inanimate objects in his 'dreams'.
He would get scared by these 'nightmares' yet he lacked the cerebral capacity to know why.
Just like when there was fog at sea, a light house would help guiding ships. He, however, had no lighthouse.
As he grew older, each night would prove something to him. Something that made him scared.
At 14 years old, he barley had enough mental strength to finally question why he was so scared.
Simply put, he was 'different'. His dreams were about reality. Our young operator thought it must be "just a coincidence".
Until he dreamt that night, he still foolishly believe that if someone wants to flip a coin and get a 1000 times in a row ; He would, eventually, get tails, a 1000p times in a row. The morning after? He didn't. Last night's dream was about this analogy. He firmly believed that he could, currently, get tails a 1000 times in a row. So he tried and so he did. Simple right? this would be boring if it was though.
At 15 years of age, his 'gift' mutated.
He started to understand subjects that were unclear before.
His 'dreams' made him forcefully learn them. After 16 years of birth, he played his first video game.
Why was it only at 16 did he play his first video game? Because he learnt during that past year that "faking" certain things can help him out.
It led him to falsify his mental state reports. recently he got an all clear and could finally leave the mental hospital, the place he 'thought' was his 'home'.
So after moving in with a social acclimatization home, he started school, wich led to his inevitable discovery of games.
The first game he ever played was "Warframe" a game about space ninjas.
After one year of playing it, he became good, really good.
He had pretty much beaten the game when one day he realised just how much he loves the game and doesn't want it to 'end'.
The day of his 17th anniversary came. That night he did not dream like he used to.
