Weird Dream/Nightmare

Five people gathered in the dining room. There was a well-built man at the head of the table, who was surprisingly on the slimmer side. He had dark blue hair that mirrored his dark blue eyes and his attire. He had sharp facial features. That was Set's father. By his side was a beautiful woman. She had light brown hair with a touch of red. She had dark brown eyes, and she was wearing a blue robe that highlighted her curves. That was Set's mother.

"Set, what are you going to do when your celestial beast is awakened?" asked Set's father.

"Well, it all depends on what type of my celestial spirit is. If I get any battle equipment or enhancers, then I'm going to lie *cough* I mean, tell the truth when I register" just as he said this, his brother, who was sitting on the left side of his father, laughed and said, "Set why don't you just make an effort once in a while".

Set's mom chimed in saying, "Listen to your brother, dear. If you want to be strong like him, then you'd better make an effort".

Set's father who was silent finally said, "What do you want to be?"

Set was taken aback, he didn't expect his father to ask such a straight forward question, "I mean, I'm fine with the quiet life and everything but ..." he paused for a moment before saying, "I want to become the Supreme Deity." At that moment, everyone's faces became serious, "You want to become the Supreme Deity?", asked his father with a serious tone.

"Yes, father!", Set's father saw resolution in his eyes, he grinned and said," No matter, we support you, my son "

Set's father was proud while thinking, 'My second son wants to become a Supreme Deity? huu... I have no doubts about it! For a guy who is as smart and committed to making his life simpler, I have no doubts of his success'.

Set's brother was the same, but there was a slight difference, his competitive spirit was enticed.

'So little brother wants to become a Supreme Deity, with his determination, I don't doubt that. From now on, I'm going to have to work harder if I want to become the first Supreme Deity of our family.

Set's brother was a prodigy with an innate ability called the Heavenly Cloud. Because of this, he was accepted into one of the biggest guilds of the Heavenly Saint continent. The guild was called the Heavenly Saint. It had hundreds of thousands of people in its ranks, and his brother Atsushi was one of them.

Set's sister was smiling. She was wearing a blue robe, that matched her dark blue hair, but oddly she had dark brown eyes. She was a beauty and many men dreamed of her. She turned to Set and said, "You're going to have to work hard, so you'd better get prepared". Set grinned and replied, "Yes, elder sister".

After finishing his meal, Set went back to his room and began to play video games. Set played until midnight. Sleeping, Set began to dream. He saw himself sleeping peacefully in his dream but in a moment he, himself was the one sleeping. As Set was sleeping, he heard a deep horrid voice that would instill fear in any person. "YOU HAVE TO AWAKEN," said the voice, but because Set wasn't paying attention, he just let it go as if he hadn't heard a thing trying to go back to sleep within his sleep. Yet the voice echoed again, and this time there was a faint dragon roar. "AWAKEN IF YOU WANT YOUR WORLD TO SURVIVE!"

Set was dragged out of his peaceful dream and was thrown into an apocalyptic scene.

Set saw dirt and ash on the ground which was dyed red. The sky was dark and filled with smoke. Set looked around and saw something odd, he knelt and swept the dirt away, only to be shocked. What he saw was the flag of Sentinel city, which was the modern Tokyo. The flag had been tattered and burnt, there was a faint shape of a shield but it was too damaged to discern. He took a deep breath as his shock was boundless. Set turned around to see the flames enveloping the earth making it look like Hell. Ashes left in place of the houses, the sky was clouded by black clouds, as though the world had fallen into eternal darkness. As he looked around he saw a flicker at the corner of his eye. He turned around... He saw that the sun had turned black and released a red-blooded light.

In the real world, in the skies above Set's house, dark clouds began to take shape. They spread like wildfire covering Set's neighborhood in a matter of seconds. Thunder roared and lightning flashed, a storm began to rage in the sky. Rain fell like nobodies business.

Set was staring at the black sun. He sensed an intense killing intent emanating from it. Even though it wasn't directed at Set it was powerful enough to drown him in fear. Set collapsed in pain, coughing up a mouth full of blood. And at that moment he felt a sharp pain in his left hand, and the blue light was blazing from it. As he turned to look at it, for a moment, he saw a pair of blue eyes glaring at him. And then he heard the voice again. This time, louder and more ferocious. "AWAKEN!"..."AWAKEN!"..."AWAKEN!"..."AWAKEN!"

After that, the rain stopped as if it had not cried, the thunder and lightning stopped as if an old married couple had made up after a fight, the black clouds that appeared above the house dissipated as if they were never there. The quiet night came back as if it had made a promise. The apocalyptic scene Set saw dissolved, with a burst of blinding light. After which Set woke up. His body was drenched in sweat and his heart was pounding like a drum.

"What a crazy dream, or was it a nightmare?"

"Damn, could that even be considered as a nightmare?"

Set then went through the specifics of his dream / nightmare then, after a moment, he looked at his left hand that felt a little numb. "What was that?" he squeezed his hand into a fist a few times, trying to drive the numbness away. After a moment, he closed his eyes and slept.

He woke up the next morning and looked at his left hand before turning away to go about his day. After eating his breakfast, he went to school. Although Set was there, he was absent-minded all day long. 'Why can't I stop thinking about that dream? And what was with that voice? What does "AWAKEN" mean? ...'

After thinking all day, he couldn't figure it out, even if he had several theories, "Wait, when the voice said, 'AWAKEN' was it talking about my celestial spirit?... Did it mean that I need my awaken my celestial spirit?... If it was, why wouldn't it just say that?"

Just as Set was about to leave, he saw Lucy walking up to him with her flat chest puffed high. "Are you ready to lose, idiot?" Lucy said with a sly grin, as though she had thought up a scheme. But too bad, Set couldn't care less.

"Sure, shorty," said Set with a dull face, before continuing by saying, "Listen, I'm tired, so let's speed it up".
