《Dream Connect(Stopped)》 Chapter 1- New World Note: Im not the best at English, but I will try my best. If you have any tips please tell me, it will highly improve things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bang!!, A loud pop woke Lozen up."Mom?" He asked while rubbing his cold silver eyes. As he stopped rubbing his eyes, he noticed a light shining bright on his face."Huh? did I leave the window open?" Lozen asked himself. He began to focus on his surrounding, and he noticed bluish green grass all around him. "What?! Where am I?" Lozen said out loud, but received no response. He noticed he was still wearing the same clothes he wore for his friend''s birthday party. "Can this place be somewhere near John''s house?" another thought came to mind. That thought quickly disappeared as he quietly observed his surroundings, he couldn''t believe what he was seeing. ¡°Am I still on Earth?¡± He said as he looked at the trees. The trees were nothing like he had ever seen or heard of before, they were almost 10 times taller than him(He is 6ft or 182cm tall). The beautiful blue glow of the trees gave off a nice aura as the leaves that looked like clouds waving through the wind. ¡°This place¡­¡±. The sky had various different colours that moved around freely creating new colors. The sky was so beautiful that he could sit there and look at it for hours, maybe days. There were also 3 shinning things in the sky,¡±Are Those stars(Suns)?¡±. Lozen was still staring at the sky, with a smile in his face when all of a sudden, ¡°Bang!¡±. The same sound that woke him up caught his attention. He looked at the direction of the sound with confusion on his face. The source of the sound came from some tall bushes a few feet away from him, when all of a sudden a bull like thing came charging at him. ¡°What is that?¡± He screamed out loud without moving. The monster had 3 gigantic horns, and an armored body. At the end of it¡¯s armored tail, was a ball full of spikes. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. As the monster got closer Lozen didn''t know what to do, sweating, his mind began to race.¡±Am I going to d-¡± as he was about to finish the sentence, he heard a loud, powerful male voice coming from behind him saying,¡±Move aside kid, He is mine.¡±. Lozen turned and examined the figure who had just spoken.The man was around ¡°6ft 5¡± with broad shoulders and muscular body, he was wearing leather looking armor that almost covered his whole body, leaving his muscular arms and the his knees exposed. The the gray leather looked as if it shined under the 3 suns everytime Lozen stared at it. After looking at the man¡¯s body he began to examine the man¡¯s face.With hazel eyes and an olive skin tone, the man had long thick braided hair that reached his waist. Lozen looked in awe at the man, not because of the armor(or his amazing hair), but the huge sword he was holding in front of him. The silver sword had a long blade that zig-zagged its way up to the point. The sword¡¯s guard was oddly shaped like spikes that faced upwards. ¡°I hope he drops something good¡­¡±. Lozen hears the man murmur to himself. The man began sprinting towards the monster at full speed holding his sword up, ¡°at this rate he will totally collide with the monster, does he have a death wish?¡± Lozen began thinking to himself. As the man was getting close to the monster he screamed, ¡°Sinister Slash!¡±. Bright light surrounded his massive blade and before the monster could react ¡°Slash¡±. -356 appeared over the monster. The moster fell to the ground and began to disappear, like it was never there, leaving a few things behind. Chapter 2: The Truth The man starts to pick up the things on the ground left by the monster. ¡°Agh...Nothing useful¡­¡± The man said and then looked at me.¡± What is a low level Dreamer like yourself doing here in the Blue Forest?¡± He pauses,¡±Don¡¯t you know that only levels 15 and above are able to survive here?¡±. ¡°Dreamers¡­?¡± I responded in a low voice confused. The man starts to examine me. ¡°Yeah, they are people of this world like you and me there are millions of us, since this place is huge. This place is like a MMORPG game, you get on by sleeping and you get off by waking up¡­ Of course its not as simple as that, but that is most of it.¡± He starts thinking but continues.¡±The Dreamers can complete missions and defeat monsters to level up.¡± ¡°Since you are a beginner you must not know the shouts of this game, go ahead connect by saying dream connect.¡± I hesitate,¡±D-dream connect!¡± as I finished saying it, a huge word appeared in front of me, that said,¡±Welcome.¡± I look back at the man, and this time I notice something that wasn''t there before. There was a green bar over his head with the name ¡°Markus¡± over it.¡±Im guessing your name is Markus?¡±I ask. ¡°Just call me Mark¡± he responds with a smile on his face. ¡° now look at me and say Analyze¡± I did so and to my surprise screen popped up, in front of me. I took a few step back but the screen still followed me. I begin to read what is on the screen.

Boy, How did you get here?¡± He asks still checking me. ¡°I dont really know¡­ I just woke up here¡­¡± I respond. The man thinks for a minute and says, ¡°Well, it is strange for people get on at this time. They usually get on late at night when everyone is sleeping¡­ Unless you are a very dedicated person who wants to get stronger. But you dont know how you got here¡­ Did you sleep in the real world?¡±. I think for a second trying to remember what I was doing before I woke up here, but nothing. ¡°All I remember is being in my friend¡¯s car driving to a party.¡± I said while still thinking. ¡°The only way to get here is by sleeping or something of that source, but you didn''t sleep¡­ Going to a friend¡¯s Party you said?¡± he asks me as I nod. ¡°By any chance are you near Philadelphia?¡±. My eyes widens, ¡°How does he know this, is he someone I should know?¡± I think to myself. ¡°Do I know you?¡± I ask. His thinking face turns into a frown.¡±Boy, before I got on this dream, I saw something on the news¡­ A group of drunk kids, got into a car accident on the highway, some are in critical condition. they were in a 1997 Nissan Sentra¡± My heart stopped.¡±No. No way! How?¡± Memories begins to come back. I start to remember, me and my friends driving on the highway when 2 white lights appeared out of nowhere. Markus looked at me with a sorry face and says, ¡°Well at least you are not dead, To be in this world you need to be alive in the real one. Come lets go to the nearest town and we can talk about this.¡± Chapter 3: Confusion ¡°The nearest village is called Wilhelm, located to the north, lets get going, but before that....¡± Markus said.¡±Inventory¡±, a screen appeared in front of him like the one that appeared for me not long ago. Markus looked at me and said,¡±Trade!¡± a screen appeared in front of me. On the screen appeared words that said,¡±Markus have requested a trade.¡± and under that, there were two words that said ¡°Accept¡±,¡±Decline¡±. ¡°Accept!¡± I said. Shortly after another screen appeared with 2 boxes one on the left with my name over it, and the one on the right had Markus¡¯ name over it. Items began to appear on Markus¡¯ side of the screen, the first was a sword. ¡°Analyze!¡± I said hoping to know what the sword was. [tr][tr][td200]A basic weapon forged for the Basic.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Markus said,¡± Accept¡± and then, the word ¡°Accept¡± under Markus¡¯ box became bright, so I said¡±Accept!¡± The box disappeared with a ding! sound.¡±Put it on.¡± Markus said ¡°...¡± ¡°Uh...How?¡± I responded. ¡°Oh, hehe sorry I forgot you are new here, Just say the word Inventory and something should pop up.¡±. ¡°Inventory!¡± I said and a screen popped up in front of me. There were 2 things on the screen. On the left was a picture of me, in front view, perfectly how I looked, Black hair, Silver eyes, skinny body,¡±How¡­¡±. On the right, where the item that I have just received. ¡°Now pull the Items into the picture of you.¡± Markus nodded at me.¡±I pointed at the sword with my finger touching the screen, it felt like a touch screen phone or tablet. I pulled the sword to my pictured and when I let it go, something appeared. ¡°System Notification: Level does not meet the expectation.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Uhh¡­ I cant use them¡­ My level does not meet the expectation.¡± I said in a low voice looking at Markus. His left eyebrow rose as he said to me,¡±How?, the level requirement is 1, check your stats to make sure. Say Profile.¡± I nodded and said¡±Profile.¡± A screen popped up replacing the Inventory.

My eyes widens in confusion as I say.¡± How can my intelligence be 0? preposterous!!¡± -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Question: Should I show the Info on The Items he receives or not? Chapter 4: Answers Silence filled the air.¡±Wait, How can everything be 0, Should I even be alive or walking right now?¡± I asked looking at Markus.¡±Well, Think of it like this. The stats that you get now are just adding to to your normal body. Dont think of it as 0, but as the same thing you had in the real world. For example, even though you have 0 intelligence here does not mean you are stupid, 0 is just the normal human strengths in this world, the more u add to it the smarter you will get..¡± I thought for a second,¡±How can I equip these item then?.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll see¡­ right now lets head back to the town. Oh I forgot take this.¡± Markus traded me and gave me a scroll looking thing. ¡°Analyze¡± Teleportation Scroll Description: This teleportation scroll can teleport a person to the nearest town. Can be used 5 times. [tr][td200]This teleportation scroll can teleport a person to the nearest town. Can be used 5 times

Name:Teleportation ScrollDescription[/td100]
¡°Wait so we don¡¯t have to travel at all?¡± I asked Markus,¡±Nope, But in the future for the sake of exp and and items try to travel, it will be worth the time. Now Use the scroll and lets get going¡± He responded as I nodded. I pulled the scroll to the picture of myself. Bright white smoke surrounded me until it swallowed my whole body. Even though I was scared for my life, My body felt weightless and warm. A few seconds later the brightness disappeared and I was in the middle of a town, near a fountain, Markus was next to me.¡±Are you ok?¡± he asks and I nod.¡±Alright follow me, we¡¯ll go to an Inn and I shall answer your questions.¡± As I followed Markus I notice there wasn''t many people, but there was a good amount of them. Some people had odd looking armors and weapons, others looked like beginners like me. Some guys passed by riding a lizard of some sort as we neared an inn. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. When we entered there was a few people on the balcony drinking while messing with their Inventory, while other ate on the tables at the side. Markus pointed at a table on the far back of the Inn and we both sat down. ¡°Markus there are a good amount of ¡°Dreamers¡± on right now, how is this not a lot?¡± I asked with curiosity.¡± Well, most of these players have late night jobs like me, so the only way to get stronger is by getting on right now.¡± Markus responded. ¡°What is your occupation?¡± I asked. ¡°Oh, Im a security guard¡± he responded again. ¡°What happens when you die in here?¡± I asked.¡±Well if you die in here, you will lose a level and you will wake up in the real world like a nightmare just happened. you will most likely not sleep again.¡± He answered. ¡°What is the highest leveled person in this Dream?¡± I asked.¡± I don¡¯t quite know his name, it¡¯s rumored, that he is in the high 400s, and some people say the only reason he is strong is because he never wakes up¡­ He is in a coma of some sort.¡± ¡°Wow...400¡­ But how come you are only level 18?¡± I asked another question.¡±Well, Leveling up isn''t really too easy, but I have recently found this place.¡± he responded.¡±Recently found this place? how does someone even find this place, What is this place?¡± ¡°The answer to what is this place, I don¡¯t quite know it myself but the only way I know someone is able to come here is either by heavy meditation or using Heavy lucid dreaming glasses. I¡¯m using a heavy lucid dreaming glasses, which cost a good amount of money.¡± Markus paused and continued.¡± Hey, you probably haven''t noticed but its night time in the real world, and people will start to get on. Since I have a night job I have to get ready for it, so I got to go. try completing a quest to level up or something.¡± Markus says and I nod. ¡°Oh and I¡¯ll try to see more in to your case in the real world.¡± My eyes widens,¡±Thank you!¡± ¡°Before I go¡­¡± Markus looked at me and said,¡±Friend.¡± and something similar to the trade screen popped up with the words ¡°Accept¡± and ¡°Decline¡±. ¡°Accept.¡± I said.¡±Well, see you later, man. Be careful.¡± Markus said as he disappeared like the Bull did. Chapter 5: Finally!! Even Though Markus left, I stayed in the Inn a while longer thinking,¡±I played games before, but every time I played, I started with some stats that helped me get stronger, but in here I don''t know how else to get stronger¡­ I could try killing monsters, But I don''t want to die and besides I dont even know if I will wake up.¡± I started to get even more lost In my thoughts,¡± There have to be a way of leveling up¡­¡± Then something struck me.¡±Quests! another way to level up and gain hp was doing quests, Maybe I can find quests to do in this village.¡± I thought as I got up and left. ¡°No way¡­¡± The streets were full of people, they were everywhere trading, talking to npc¡¯s, finishing quests, joining guilds and parties.¡±Wow...so this is what is like when everyone is asleep¡­¡± What I need to do is talk to every npcs I can to see If I can do any of their quests. I noticed something, even though all of these dreamers here looked advanced, there were some new looking dreamers and they all seemed to be talking to a lady sitting in front of a store at the end of the street.¡±Maybe she will give me a quest!¡±I thought with hope and excitement As I walked over to the lady I was able to hear a few other dreamers say things, some of them were asking for .a certain item to trade while others asked for people to join the parties. What I found interesting was that every person who wanted people to join parties had requirements. Such as a certain level or classes, The most famous type of classes were either a swordsman type, magician type and at times eve hidden classes. ¡°Hidden classes¡­ Im guessing they are very special¡­¡± I thought to myself as I approached the lady.¡±Hi¡± I said the lady who looked to be on her late 20s raised her head to look at me. She had huge blue eyes and a long blue hair in a ponytail.¡±Hello, How may I help You today?¡± she replied. ¡°Is there any requests you would like me to complete?¡± I said,¡±I¡¯m sorry, but your level is too low, level requirement is 1.¡± ¡°You have got to be kidding me¡­ How am I going to Level up like this?¡± I thought to myself. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.¡°Well, goodbye then.¡± I said as I walked away. After that I went to every npc I could but still nothing they all seemed to have a requirement of 1 or higher. Tired I sat down Outside of the Inn thinking desperately, when someone sits next to me.¡±Hey young fellow.¡± he looks at me and says. I turn my head to get a better look at the man. He has a long white beard, dirty old clothes and a bag on his back. ¡°Hello sir.¡± I responded. ¡°Whats the matter?¡± he asks. I noticed he was a npc so I he probably wouldn''t understand it, but then a thought came to mind.¡±Maybe he will give me a quest!¡±. ¡°Well. Sir no one seems to believe in me, they all underestimate me.¡± He looked at me up and down and said.¡±Well you do dress, weird.¡± saying that, I notice I had the same clothes as in the real world.¡±Tell you what kid, I have something for you to do. Get me 5 items but only by asking others for it.¡± Ding! [tr]

¡°Yes!!! I Accept!. I quickly said and the screen disappeared. ¡°Good luck, when you complete it come see me here, right in the front of this Inn, Now go.¡± The man said as I got up and got ready to do the quest. ¡°Wow 1000 EXP and a Hidden class¡­¡± I thought to myself.
