My Dreamwalker System

Xander Nyxon was born with a gift: the ability to lift the veil of sleep and travel to the world beyond. He is one of the few rare individuals who can enter dreams and nightmares at will. While most Dreamwalkers ply their trade on the Dreamscape, Xander Nyxon is one of the reckless few who travels to the Nightscape seeking answers from the deceased. However, walking through nightmares is a perilous task even for the most experienced Dreamwalker. A thin veil separates the real world from the realm beyond, holding the terrors of the Nightscape at bay. But things quickly go wrong when a group of cultists cause the wall between the worlds to crumble. What happens when dreams and nightmares merge with the real world and twisted Ethereals start clawing their way out of the Nightscape? *** Xander was lifted off his feet and pushed back several paces. He desperately tried to get back on the ground, but his legs kept dangling mid-air. “I knew you’d be coming,” the mysterious figure whispered, pulling his hood back to reveal a hideous face riddled with scars. He was blind in the left eye and all his teeth were grimy black. “What the hell are you freaks up to?” Xander growled, desperately trying to break free from the cultist’s grasp. “Who are you guys?” The cultist smiled at this and replied, “Our names are inconsequential, Dreamwalker. But I think you already know what we are up to. Our world is plagued by sin. It is time for it to be cleansed by the Dark Deity’s blessing!” What to expect? 1. Dungeons. 2. Magic. 3. Creatures from folklore, myth and fantasy. 4. A level-up system with skill upgrades. 5. Mystery and adventure. [If you like the story, do consider buying privilege/premium chapters to help me out.

Body of sin (2) 

The cultist Xander had defeated inside the last Death Nightmare had transformed into a ghoul after death, but this one was using a dark spell to hold his body together. The Corrupted Resurrection card he had just played had brought him back to life with a body that acted as a connected whole even with the different parts being severed.

Xander could keep on slicing the limbs, but they were always going to crawl back to the main body. And what was most shocking was that the cultist's bodily functions didn't stop even with his head being chopped off. Xander wondered if he was facing another undead abomination or if this cultist still retained his self-awareness.

From the way the cultist was speaking, it didn't seem like he had lost his sentience or was being controlled by someone else. And that could only mean one thing. His body was being held together by the threads of corruption due to which he could keep going even if he was critically wounded.
