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 Altar of Forbidden Knowledge

Being struck by the poisoned dagger had not only caused Xander to be vulnerable to light, but it also made him feel slow and lethargic. He could still move around, but every step seemed to be more painful than the previous.

Standing underneath the unlit brazier, Xander stared at his Chronica and saw that the minute had was pointing eastward at number three. 

The burial chamber was largely empty, save for the old burial urns, candelabra stands, and the wooden caskets slumbering inside stony tombs, some of which had cracked lids and dusty walls covered in cobwebs.

As far as Xander could see, there were no altars here, and the only object that resembled something like that was the pedestal in front of the statue of Neriti. However, that pedestal was currently occupied by a brass urn and it was nowhere close to the direction in which his Chronica was pointing.
