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.

The Shrine of the Blind Deity

The walls of the burial chamber cracked and crumbled, and the supporting pillars came crashing down as tremors shook the entire domain. Another minute tear in the fabric of space pulled Xander back into the arena, sealing the Domain of the Last Shadow.

Marvin breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Xander walk out of the crackling rift unharmed. By this time, the effects of the poison had subsided as well, and Xander no longer felt the pain of the light burning into his flesh.

But not everything about him remained unaltered. Marvin noticed the two blood-red streaks running down Xander's cheeks from the corner of his eyes and realized what had come to pass on the other side.

"You obtained a dark gift from the Altar of Forbidden Knowledge, isn't it?" Marvin asked.

Xander did not even try to deny it. Instead, he nodded with his head held high and replied, "I did. It was the only way to even the odds. And I don't think it proved to be a bad decision."
