"I am Veylor, an Albrim."
The creature spoke out his name, while standing in the air. It has wings, sharp and demonlike. It has long, wavy hair. In between those places, there are two horns, each sticking out of its skull, pointing its tip at the sky. Its clothing is elegant, wearing a dark-looking overcoat, unbuttoned. It looks almost noble.
Its voice echoed as it spoke more about itself. "We are Albrims, the species that controls these Dreams. We are creatures made to entertain, and make every Dream feel like a fantasy."
"Dreams… You may ask, What are these Dreams that just occurred yesterday?"
"Well, to describe it to you, it's just another form of Reality we made for you and for the Gods."
"It's a place where you compete and complete to earn rewards and get stronger for the Main Events."
"I'll explain them soon, but first, more about Dreams."
"Dreams are also a Reality that is different from this world you live in."
"I, like other Albrims, am a conductor for these Dreams and the Main Events to follow."
"In these Dreams, you are given different conditions, penalties and rewards for completing them."
"Now the only way to get into a Dream is to sleep."
"The people who have slept at the same time in a specific area will have that dream."
"Yesterday, though, everyone on Earth was put to sleep by us."
"Also, putting people to sleep can cause multiple problems like DEATH, which happened to some of you."
"That's why we gave you another chance, but just kind of harder."
It stared at me after finishing that sentence for a few moments before continuing.
"And now for the rewards you've earned from last night."
"Here they are."
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding…
Several messages popped up, including mine.
[Rewards calculated]
*********************************************************************
Rewards received:
Lucid Dream: Lazarus Title: Saved by The Dweller 10,000 coins rewarded for completion
*********************************************************************
I thought in my head. "What is this 'Dream: Lazarus' about? What is this Title these 10,000 coins for?"
"Now Dreamers."
"Let's talk about your rewards, firstly, we have the coins."
"Your coins can be used to buy items in the shop, and most importantly used to increase your stats"
"You can check your stat level in the Stat Window by saying 'Show Stats', and it will pop up."
"Show Stats," everyone said in unison.
Ding. Ding. Ding…

Almost everything is okay here except for my class, personal traits and blessings. I wonder what it does.
"I hope everyone has seen their stats. Now, allow me to explain the strength spectrum of this world."
"In this world, we use colours to show strength. The colour spectrum is as follows: Green for Weak, Yellow for Below Average, Orange for Average, Red for Above Average, Purple for High, Brown for Dangerous, Black for Nightmare."
"Now prepare yourselves for the upcoming Dream tonight, make sure to increase your stats and see what the Item shop has to offer. And check for more information in the Info box, say 'INFO' and it will appear."
"I'll be going now."
Veylor faded into nothingness.
Currently, I am familiar with the following concepts: the colour spectrum, statistics, Gods, Dreams, and Reality. Now for the missing stats I can't see, I guess in time I'll get to see progress with them. As for now, let me increase my stats as they are not looking good.

"Wow, I already feel much lighter than before. And now let me ask for my personal attribute and class, and blessing."
"INFO"
[What do you want?]
"Why do my Personal Attribute, Class and Blessing show question marks?"
[We'll let you know soon.]
"Wow, even here there's a delay; it looks like these guys are no different from Earth."
I felt a powerful force upon me. I stared at the sky and saw an unusual, Purplish-Black aura. Then a message popped up in front of me.
[God ??? is looking at its Child]
"Who are you, and why am I your Child?"
[God ??? says, "You'll soon know who or what I am. You'll soon find out your Blessings and Personal Attributes. As for your class, I guess it's from Albrim's end.]
The aura soon disappeared. Seems like the Gods really don't wait for their Child to respond.
Ding
[We have checked for your Class, and we saw that your Class is new on our system. You have been given the Class: Hybrid. This allows you to be both a Fighter and a Mage.]
"Wow, well, my answers were fast. Now that I know my Class and the mystery behind my Blessing and Attribute. I guess it's just a waiting game till the next Dream." I thought.
A few boring hours later.
It's finally nighttime.
Then I saw my God's aura in the sky again.
[God ??? speaks to his Child "Hopefully you've prepared for the next Dream."]
["You are my Child, my scion. I control your body and over many things. I'll help you in this world to overcome the Dreams and Main Events. You'll soon understand my importance."]
The aura disappeared into the vast space above.
"Well, that was a weird convo. I wonder what I am to him or her. But I really need to get to sleep so that I don't miss this Dream."
He went to the nearest bench and tried to put himself to sleep.
He fell asleep quickly.
Memories of himself getting killed flashed towards him. Each time, a different way of dying. Either from betrayals or from Dreams or Main Events.
He started shaking heavily and forced himself out of sleep. When he opened his eyes, he expected to wake up in Braunschweig because he had disturbed his sleep, but he woke up in a far different and vast place.
A forest.
Blue particles started to condense and form his body. It was the same body he's ever known, and nothing different has occurred. He started looking around and saw more blue particles condensing to form new people around him. They were humans.
