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.

Death of a Dreamwalker

Xander's heartbeat quickened for a second, before gradually slowing down as he struggled to breathe. Soon everything went completely dark, all sensations faded, and all sounds became distant and muffled. It was as if the world around him had suddenly ceased to exist.

As Xander breathed his last and his heart stopped beating, the Swamp Deidra's tentacles slithered across his body, slowly releasing him from their slimy grip. A single red tentacle lined with hundreds of white cup-like suckers coiled around Xander's limp body, wrapping around his waist like a hungry boa. The Swamp Deidra hoisted his corpse over the water, bringing it close to its massive head.

Dangling its prey over its mouth, the Swamp Deidra opened its beak. It slowly lowered Xander's corpse and then dropped it straight into its cavernous maw. Bones snapped and crunched as the bony jaws clamped shut. Hundreds of sharp serrated teeth dug into Xander's soft flesh as the monstrosity began chewing on his lifeless body.
