A New Nightmare With A New Bed

Along the way, neither he nor I spoke, I just followed him silently.

Finally we arrived at the place where I would be staying.

"This is where you'll stay. You'll stay in a tent like everyone else, but your tent is the same as mine. In short, you'll be staying in a special tent."

The tent Hayato showed me is a already tent that you can't call normal no matter how you look at it. It's bigger than necessary and I feel something outside of it. But why does it have to be in the same place as him? I wanted to be alone.

"This is already a special tent, but it's even more valuable because it's you."

"exactly"

"We'll sleep separately in this big tent, right?"

"Of course, I can only sleep with you if you say you're scared" with a disgusting smile on his face.

"ahaha thanks for being so worried about me but I prefer sleeping alone."

As I said these words, I took steps towards my own bed and sat down.

After I sat on the bed, Hayato said "As you wish" and went to his own bed. Before saying "good night" to me, he pulled the blanket over himself and got into a sleeping position.

I said "good night" and buried myself in my new bed.

...

kaage regretted going to bed the moment he fell asleep.

he was dreaming again and he was conscious in his dream.

"I must have fallen asleep"

"I'm in a completely white place, like the previous nightmare. Will the same things happen? Or will things get scarier?"

Kaage sighed. "I shouldn't have slept."

He was in a completely white place again, just like the previous nightmare. The only thing Kaage was trying to do now was find out if this was a dream or a nightmare.

kaage around and said, "So is this a nightmare or a dream? Everything is the same as before, there is no difference."

'Maybe if I just walk I'll come across something'

With this thought, Kaage started walking without changing direction. He went and walked without stopping.

walked

walked

walked

and

walked

stopped

He wasn't sweating or out of breath when he stopped. Even though he was dreaming, Kaage knew he had walked too far, and even though it was a dream, it felt strange to him.

However, instead of worrying about it being a dream, he brushed it off.

'useless to think'

Kaage started looking at where he was standing and when he turned to his right, he noticed a dark figure ahead.

"I found!"

Kaage started running towards the black figure he saw, but it turned out to be farther than he expected.

I have no idea what that thing is, but I guess it's my target. I hope it's a Human.

Kaage got closer and closer to the figure he noticed and what he expected happened: the figure he saw was in human form.

but he was surprised by what he saw, it was not normal. He doesn't know who the other person is, but there is a very heavy death aura.

Even though I was so close to him, that feeling of death affected me.

His arms were pitch black, just like the blackness on my finger. His hair was pitch black like shadows. I can't see his face, but his face is probably frozen and has no trace of emotion.

I got closer

The moment I got closer, his bare feet started to turn black while they were normal. Slowly, the black was starting to take over the person in front of me.

however with this the feeling of death he was spreading had become even more intense.

Well, if I get closer to it, will that dark power and sense of death increase even more? I wonder... After I get closer, I'll see what happens and then go back.

Kaage took one step, two steps, three steps, and then stopped after taking a fourth step.

The person in front of him was beginning to be completely taken over by darkness.

What I predicted happened, but it's spreading faster. My body can't handle the power that's spreading. I'm shaking. But I have to pull back.

..."Fuck!"

"My body went rigid!"

Ok it's just a dream calm down kaage come on breathe in and out breathe in and out.

Kaage tried to calm down but his body was against him. He wouldn't stop shaking.

Kaage began to notice this and stopped trying to stay calm. He looked at the person in front of him. There was someone who was almost completely taken over by the darkness. And as that darkness grew, the feeling of death and fear he gave off grew even more.

'There's nothing I can do. I have to wait and see what happens. After I see, I'll wake up.'

'It's spreading faster than before. Once it stops spreading, the fear along with the feeling of death will be very heavy and my body will tremble more. And my only option is to wait.'

"Power" The person standing in front of me started to speak loudly.

'Is it over? He started talking but the air didn't get heavier as I expected, it's still the same.'

While Kaage was thinking these things, the person in front of him had finished his transformation. And the air had become heavier and more stifling, just as Kaage had predicted. His body could not stop shaking.

'...ahaha I spoke too early huh'

'Will he continue talking?'

"...fate...I couldn't resist them."

As the person in front of Kaage spoke, darkness began to take over not only his body, but also the ground. At the same time, the surroundings were shaking with his speech.

'He's talking... but why is the darkness spreading more. and the surroundings shaking. Because of his power? What kind of power is this?'

'he said fate. He couldn't go against fate but he said 'they'. Who is 'they'?'

While Kaage was trying to understand what the man was trying to say, the man continued talking.

With that, Kaage stopped thinking.

"Revenge...blood...I did everything. Now what?"

"I killed everyone who trusted me. My enemies too. Is there nothing left to do?"

'wha-'

"My strength... chose to have next to God. He ignored me and the devil."

'Wait- wait a minute, did your power choose God and ignore you and the devil? This is...haha what am I thinking, this is impossible.'

"God... Haha how funny my power betrayed me. So what! I finally did everything I wanted. Oh! That's right my only and final request God... You have to die! There are more powerful gods waiting to take your place. But you're nothing but a piece of trash who thinks he's the shit. Ahaha maybe I'll have a good place in hell."

'What the hell are you saying?'

Kaage was surprised by every word the other person said and didn't know what to say.

Kaage turned his head left and right to digest the sentences, but what he saw surprised him even more. 'Why is the surroundings completely black? Did I focus on his speech that much? Everything that is white is completely black.'

'Don't talk...if he keeps talking the darkness will take over me too. He has to stop!'

The voice had sounded angry a moment ago, but now it sounded calm and sad. "The curse… they're wrong. It's not a curse, it's a blessing, the devil's blessing. They didn't listen to me… if they had listened to me, they wouldn't have died. They were the only good people I knew. They didn't look at me with selfish intentions or like I was a monster. but They didn't believe me."

Kaage was surprised by the sadness in his voice, but what surprised him even more was that the dark 'shadow' hadn't taken over him.

The voice continued. "Humans… they are nothing but little pawns. Their only benefit to me is their ease of use and their blood."

Kaage was startled when the person in front of him stopped talking. The man had stopped talking.

A silence had taken over the environment.

Kaage could not speak. The man in front of him had been complaining about God without moving until now. He suddenly started to move. The man was leaning his head forward looking at his hands. As if trying to understand where he was. Finally, the man raised his head again,looked to his right and left. The man finally broke the long silence and said, "darkness."

'Is he... conscious? But how. I'm dreaming right now, how is there anyone else conscious besides me?'

After the man made his dark statement, he surrendered to silence again. But finally he moved again. Instead of turning around completely, he turned his head a little to the left and asked, "You... who are you?"

'calm down'

"I am Kaage, the owner of this dream."

"dream... haha ​​​​​​I did it ha and you are kaage."

"...yes, I'm kaage. Is there anything special about my name?"

"Haha no no no. It's just a good thing you don't recognize me , you won't remember what I look like when you wake up."

"am I supposed to know you? who are you?"

I know I sound aggressive but I feel like I have to speak like that.

"I... I am just someone who has the same power as you and is your descendant."

"..."

Well... at least my guess was correct.

"It's bad that you saw me in your dreams. You heard everything. You're weak right now..." His eyes fell on my right hand. "Ah...so they came to you too. Then your path will be revenge and blood. Just like me."

"Think of me as your future. I give you a mission! Take revenge and kill the person who is currently doing God's mission. Kill God! And don't trust the devil too much, just trust the power. Trust the power that the devil gives you"

Kaage was no longer in a position to speak. The shadows began to swallow Kaage. However, before Kaage was swallowed, he heard the man say, "Destroy fate!"

...

"-up wake up!"

slap sound

Kaage woke up jumping in his bed. The first thing he did was look around. And all he saw was Hayato standing there nervously.

"finally! you woke up."

"What happened Hayato, why did you slap me?"

"If I hadn't woken you up you would have died! You were having a nightmare and you started sweating profusely after a while. I came to check on you. When I first looked I couldn't believe what I saw. It was like the shadows were suffocating you. You were in pain. You stopped breathing right before you woke up!"

"What"

'this... what does this mean?'
