Second Ghost Sleep

(Rodova Military Academy – Leo's Dorm Room, Midnight)

For the past one and a half months, Leo had enjoyed the rare luxury of avoiding any more Ghost Sleep episodes.

While Su Yang, Mu Shen, and the others experienced them nearly every other week, haunted by glimpses of the past, Leo had been spared—his nights undisturbed since the first time it happened.

But tonight—his luck ran out.

As tonight, instead of the expected blissful silence of sleep, his consciousness was instead dragged away by a sharp pull, as it was forcefully swallowed by the depths of his bloodline's memories.

And just like that—Ghost Sleep came for him once again.

(A burning forest – Modern times)

Once again, Leo found himself floating above a battlefield in ruins, his body weightless and incorporeal as he was made to observe an episode from the past.

The world around him was pure chaos.
