The Sack

Now with the nightmare ima I have, it is time to make my bogeyman weapon. I won't be making a new item since dream dune can hold both the black sand and the golden sand. I even increased storage on my favorite clay gourd.

"I will make sack. Some bogeyman tales show him with a sack. It'll fit perfectly."

Even though the weapon might be unorthodox and weird, I can make a sack work. I'll make it so it suck in attacks and shoot out whatever is inside. I'll even give it the ability to imprison people inside. For regular attacks, I'll just swing the thing at them, it'll pack a huge bunch despite being sack. It'll feel like getting sucker-punched by a boulder, haha. I was very satisfied with my new sack.

"This sack already feels like a part of me.", I say as the sack feels connected to me.

Of course, I go out trying to use it immediately. I smacked so many students over the head with it during the night. It was super fun. I didn't come across anyone seriously bad after I dealt with vampire though. At most, I gave them a little fright to curve their arrogance, mischief, etc.

"What the hell is that thing?", I narrow my eyes in suspicion.

I enter the dream of a fairy. She was having a pleasant dream about flying around in a forest paradise and playing harmless pranks on other fairies and animals. I then spot something in the dream that isn't supposed to be there. A hairless creepy looking gray-skinned humanoid with claws and raptor feet was peeking around a corner. I probed it to see what it was doing.

"It's trying to manipulate the dream.", I breathe out in agitation. 

I see that the fairies and animals in the dream that were previously laughing and playing around were starting to turn on her. The gray thing was doing it.

"Oh no you don't you ugly little bugger.", I say a little viciously. 

I go bogeyman and smack it over the head with my sack. Then I suck it inside. Once inside, information on the gray thing showed up in my head. A function of the sack I didn't know it had.

"Dreams still surprise me. Even dreams I think up, haha. I love it.", I say in delightful surprise.

The gray thing was a dream demon. Not to be confused with demonia as they only have the blood of demons, they aren't demons themselves. This dream demon was trying to latch onto the fairy's dreamscape to parasite off of her.

With a sense of duty I proclaim, "Well, no dream parasites on my watch."

I used a lethal function of the sack to shred demon into nothing using black sand and generate ima from the kill. I connected dream dune to the sack so I can use black sand inside the sack.

I took the fairy's pranking magic, stored the dream and left. The pranking magic I took with me because I think it'll be fun to use. Especially if I use it as sandman.

Day came and now I want to try some of the abilities I've gained. I give technomancy a try. It works, but no where near the level it was in the dream.

"Guess I only unlock the entry level of power of some abilities. I'll have to train it and use ima to boost my growth with it.", I conclude about this ability of mine.

Using shadow and blood magic, they were in the same boat as technomancy. I need to train them up and use ima to increase my proficiency with them.

I ponder about my progression, "My progress with shadow and blood magic starts off even lower than technomancy. I guess the law that each new ability cost more than the last still applies in way, even if I get the ability in it's origin dream. It's still a lot cheaper."

Prank magic was actually a little better of than technomancy. No idea why though. I speculate it has something to do with it not being as powerful, or being in a different ability category.

"I still have more to learn about my book", I say as I take out my book to give a good look.

"So glad I dreamt you up...", I lowly in sincere relief I had done so.

The day of the welcome ceremony is close now. Three days are left. I want to visit the dreams of the demonia and angelica before the ceremony.

Tonight, the demonia will receive my visit first.
