Xorian9mthCommentedDon’t do it Sunny…
He really felt like he could learn to understand them. If he just listened a little bit closer… a little bit longer... yes, surely, he would...- Xorian10mthCommented"What do you think is going on? There's a big Gate and a lot of nasty Nightmare Creatures coming this way. We'll go deal with them real quick. You head back, gather the scientists, and lock yourselves in the safe room. Alright?"
- Xorian10mthCommentedSunny and his cohort followed, summoning their Memories as they calmly prepared for battle. As they walked through bitter cold, he spoke:
- Xorian10mthCommented
What do human souls smell like?
Worse still, there were the Gates themselves to deal with. Considering that they had to have opened close enough to strengthen the Call, the Nightmare Creatures brought by them would undoubtedly come to visit, attracted by the smell of human souls. - Xorian10mthCommentedVerne did not say anything, but his jaw muscles tightened. It looked as if he was on the verge of uttering a curse, which said a lot about how dissatisfied the man was with the news. From what Sunny had observed, Verne was a very uptight and proper person.
- Xorian10mthCommentedIn his experience, the simplest answer was most often correct. Professor Obel seemed to have lost sight of that fact.

Yes, but this one is probably provable since they know the exact moment it came into being.
"Have you ever asked yourself this… did the Spell bring Nightmares with it, or did the Nightmares bring the Spell? Ah, forgive me. This is still too broad. Here is another question — do the Nightmares produce the Awakened, or do the Awakened produce the Nightmares?" - Xorian10mthCommented
Awesome! Questioning the models that everyone accepts as true leads to scientific revolution!
"...Of course, common knowledge is not always trustworthy. But in this case, it seems to follow logic." - Xorian10mthCommented"During my Second Nightmare, I was separated from the Spell for a while. I couldn't summon my Memories, visit my Soul Sea, or even hear its voice. However, my Aspect and powers were still with me. So, I figured that Aspects, at least, exist outside the Spell. If Aspects are their own thing, why can't Nightmare Gates be? Oh… that doesn't mean that I'm convinced, though. I am just open to the possibility."

How I imagine the data would look like.
"How do I put it… try to imagine time as a river, young man. It always flows forward, from the past into the future, and we travel forward with its current. Now, imagine that someone threw a rock into that river. There would be ripples on its surface, wouldn't there? And those ripples, unlike the waters of the river itself, would travel both downstream and upstream. Hence, he can detect those ripples. From a bit further up the stream." - Xorian10mthCommented"...For your information, I am a researcher and lecturer back in the Academy, with several academic publications under my name. I only swing a sword when there's a reason to."
- Xorian10mthCommented
Pshh. You’re talking to a man who had a movie made from his report.
"Indeed. I thought all Awakened only know how to swing a sword." - Xorian10mthCommented
Smart old man.
The man in front of him, however, was not just old… he was certifiably ancient. He had to be eighty years, at least, or even older. His skin was thin like paper, with knotty blue veins clearly visible beneath it, and his neatly combed hair was completely white. The old man's eyes, however, were still brimming with sharp intelligence and awareness. - Xorian10mthCommented
Bruh 🤦♂️
"So we're completely cut off from everyone? Is it because of the blizzard?" - Xorian10mthCommented…That was when things started to go wrong.
- Xorian10mthCommented…Luckily, they were not supposed to fight any serious battles in the next few days. That was already a blessing.

Just what Sunny wants to collect 🤌🏼
Since very few Awakened could fight effectively in the air, being swarmed by winged abominations or taken down by a hail of ranged attacks from the ground was their worst nightmare. - Xorian10mthCommented
Worst nightmare 🤫

If the next couple of sentences are correct then he meant 10 kilometers…
He only flew a distance of ten kilometers.detailGuarding the Wizard Tower for 100 years, I Become Invincible When I Come outFantasy · Huang Tian Dead Already
