章 2: Deferent path
Sunny dreamt of a magnificent temple. Its columns and walls were cut from black marble. It was colossal, with decorative pieces that looked like they had been carved by the gods. It looked like a palace of a dark god.
Alone on top of the altar in the temple lay a frail-looking boy who looked like he was drawing his last breath but a newfound light ignited in his eyes burning with relief.
Just outside the temple, Sunny saw a monster charging towards the young boy in the temple. The creature was at least four meters tall, looked like a lump of dirty snow with its yellow fur, and roughly round shape, and was as tall as a mounted horseman. The creature had two stumpy legs, an emaciated, hunched torso, and two disproportionately long, multijointed hands with terrifying bone claws.
It had five milky white eyes on its head and horrifying rows of jagged razor-sharp teeth.
Underneath its skin was an endless movement of worm-like shapes unsettling for Sunny to look at.
Just as the monster was about to rip the boy to shreds with its claws.
Shadows criped out of the great hall, for the shape of tentacles moving as though it was alive. The tentacles of darkness moved forward, entangling the monster, rupturing the creature's body, and ripping it limb from limb.
Suddenly, the sun rose from the east. The moon falls below the horizon, in quick succession. Snowflakes hastily dropped from the clouds. Sunny realized that he was seeing the flow of time moving forward.
In an instant, months flew by. The scenery changes from the black temple to the base of a snowy mountain with a group of horsemen with the addition of a young man chained to one of the horses in the lead.
Time slowed, stopped, and then resumed its usual pace.
[Aspirant! Welcome to the Nightmare Spell. Prepare for your First Trial…]
'What the hell is going on.'
Sunny thought before pain and coldness assaulted his body. Shivering from the cold and trying his best to endure the pain, he scanned his surroundings trying to assess the situation he found himself in.
'The person in the vision I just witnessed was the original Sunless, right? Then why am I here, and where is the slave caravan? Wait, the time flowed forward instead of backward, so this should be after Sunny's nightmare, right?' The new Sunny thought as he desperately tried to keep up the horse he was chained to because the worst thing that could happen right now was to be whipped in his current condition.
Sunny looked at the horsemen around him. There were six in total, each with a unique aura surrounding them. The horseman Sunny was chained to have a more pronounced and intense aura.
'My God! All five of them are awakened and the one that I am chained to is a master.'
'Is the spell trying to kill me? Did it notice that I am a foreign soul and it's trying to kill me? Fuck I need to calm down and check my status maybe, I'll get a different aspect and attributes.'
Sunny concentrated and considered words like "menu," "information," and "status." As soon as he focused, runes shimmered and appeared in the air.
After seeing the runes holding his information. His Jaws dropped to the ground.

Sunny speechlessly stared at the runes, feeling dumbfounded by what he saw.
'What does this mean, why do I have the abilities Sunless received after his first nightmare, and what do all the question marks mean?'
Just then, a wave of memories assaulted his brain, leaving him with a painful headache, they were memories of the original Sunless nightmare and how he got into this present situation.
''How long until we get there, slave?'' The master Sunny was chained to ask.
''About a week my lord,'' Sunny responded after sorting through the memories he just received.
''Master Ben the slave can't be telling the truth; Auro can't be dead, right?'' An angry-looking Awakened beside Sunny asked.
''It does not matter if he is dead or alive. We have to retrieve the artifact that was on him'' The master responded.
"What about the slave?" A creepy-looking Awakened behind Sunny asked.
"We dispose of him after he leads us to Auro." The master replied for all to hear.

'Think, think, how am I going to survive this? What should I do?... The Black Temple! The black temple is my only hope, but how would I lure them there before they kill me? Auro's body is a few feet away from the temple they will find his corpse before we can reach the temple. Fuck!' Sunny, still following the chain's lead, was now in deep thought, thinking of every possible way to get to the black temple.
"Am not going die, am going to survive I will beat you death. I promise." Sunny mumbled under his breath, lucky his captures hadn't heard what he just said they were preoccupied with staring at a group of silhouettes that appeared in their direction.

Sunny speechlessly stared at the runes, feeling dumbfounded by what he saw.
'What does this mean, why do I have the abilities Sunless received after his first nightmare, and what do all the question marks mean?'
Just then, a wave of memories assaulted his brain, leaving him with a painful headache, they were memories of the original Sunless nightmare and how he got into this present situation.
''How long until we get there, slave?'' The master Sunny was chained to ask.
''About a week my lord,'' Sunny responded after sorting through the memories he just received.
''Master Ben the slave can't be telling the truth; Auro can't be dead, right?'' An angry-looking Awakened beside Sunny asked.
''It does not matter if he is dead or alive. We have to retrieve the artifact that was on him'' The master responded.
"What about the slave?" A creepy-looking Awakened behind Sunny asked.
"We dispose of him after he leads us to Auro." The master replied for all to hear.
'They are going to kill me and they didn't bother hiding it.' All these situations that Sunny found himself in reminded him of the feeling of fear and helplessness he had in his previous life.
'I have been too complacent. Ever since I came to this world, even though I lived in the outskirts where life is generally terrible, I haven't experienced any freak accidents or near-death episodes that normally plague me in my previous life, so I thought I had won, I had escaped, I died in my world but in this world, I live. I thought that I had finally beaten death, but boy, was I wrong. So this is what death has been cooking for a decade now, me dying like a rat in the Nightmare, and my body transformed into a monster in the waking world.
'Think, think, how am I going to survive this? What should I do?... The Black Temple! The black temple is my only hope, but how would I lure them there before they kill me? Auro's body is a few feet away from the temple they will find his corpse before we can reach the temple. Fuck!' Sunny, still following the chain's lead, was now in deep thought, thinking of every possible way to get to the black temple.
"Am not going die, am going to survive I will beat you death. I promise." Sunny mumbled under his breath, lucky his captures hadn't heard what he just said they were preoccupied with staring at a group of silhouettes that appeared in their direction.
Sunny was the last to notice the creatures
'Are those Orcs? But why is their skin red'
''ROAR!!!''
Sunny dreamt of a magnificent temple. Its columns and walls were cut from black marble. It was colossal, with decorative pieces that looked like they had been carved by the gods. It looked like a palace of a dark god.
Alone on top of the altar in the temple lay a frail-looking boy who looked like he was drawing his last breath but a newfound light ignited in his eyes burning with relief.
Just outside the temple, Sunny saw a monster charging towards the young boy in the temple. The creature was at least four meters tall, looked like a lump of dirty snow with its yellow fur, and roughly round shape, and was as tall as a mounted horseman. The creature had two stumpy legs, an emaciated, hunched torso, and two disproportionately long, multijointed hands with terrifying bone claws.
It had five milky white eyes on its head and horrifying rows of jagged razor-sharp teeth.
Underneath its skin was an endless movement of worm-like shapes unsettling for Sunny to look at.
Just as the monster was about to rip the boy to shreds with its claws.
Shadows criped out of the great hall, for the shape of tentacles moving as though it was alive. The tentacles of darkness moved forward, entangling the monster, rupturing the creature's body, and ripping it limb from limb.
Suddenly, the sun rose from the east. The moon falls below the horizon, in quick succession. Snowflakes hastily dropped from the clouds. Sunny realized that he was seeing the flow of time moving forward.
In an instant, months flew by. The scenery changes from the black temple to the base of a snowy mountain with a group of horsemen with the addition of a young man chained to one of the horses in the lead.
Time slowed, stopped, and then resumed its usual pace.
[Aspirant! Welcome to the Nightmare Spell. Prepare for your First Trial…]
'What the hell is going on.'
Sunny thought before pain and coldness assaulted his body. Shivering from the cold and trying his best to endure the pain, he scanned his surroundings trying to assess the situation he found himself in.
'The person in the vision I just witnessed was the original Sunless, right? Then why am I here, and where is the slave caravan? Wait, the time flowed forward instead of backward, so this should be after Sunny's nightmare, right?' The new Sunny thought as he desperately tried to keep up the horse he was chained to because the worst thing that could happen right now was to be whipped in his current condition.
Sunny looked at the horsemen around him. There were six in total, each with a unique aura surrounding them. The horseman Sunny was chained to have a more pronounced and intense aura.
'My God! All five of them are awakened and the one that I am chained to is a master.'
'Is the spell trying to kill me? Did it notice that I am a foreign soul and it's trying to kill me? Fuck I need to calm down and check my status maybe, I'll get a different aspect and attributes.'
Sunny concentrated and considered words like "menu," "information," and "status." As soon as he focused, runes shimmered and appeared in the air.
After seeing the runes holding his information. His Jaws dropped to the ground.

Shadows criped out of the great hall, for the shape of tentacles moving as though it was alive. The tentacles of darkness moved forward, entangling the monster, rupturing the creature's body, and ripping it limb from limb.
Suddenly, the sun rose from the east. The moon falls below the horizon, in quick succession. Snowflakes hastily dropped from the clouds. Sunny realized that he was seeing the flow of time moving forward.
In an instant, months flew by. The scenery changes from the black temple to the base of a snowy mountain with a group of horsemen with the addition of a young man chained to one of the horses in the lead.
Time slowed, stopped, and then resumed its usual pace.
[Aspirant! Welcome to the Nightmare Spell. Prepare for your First Trial…]
'What the hell is going on.'
Sunny thought before pain and coldness assaulted his body. Shivering from the cold and trying his best to endure the pain, he scanned his surroundings trying to assess the situation he found himself in.
'The person in the vision I just witnessed was the original Sunless, right? Then why am I here, and where is the slave caravan? Wait, the time flowed forward instead of backward, so this should be after Sunny's nightmare, right?' The new Sunny thought as he desperately tried to keep up the horse he was chained to because the worst thing that could happen right now was to be whipped in his current condition.
Sunny looked at the horsemen around him. There were six in total, each with a unique aura surrounding them. The horseman Sunny was chained to have a more pronounced and intense aura.
'My God! All five of them are awakened and the one that I am chained to is a master.'
'Is the spell trying to kill me? Did it notice that I am a foreign soul and it's trying to kill me? Fuck I need to calm down and check my status maybe, I'll get a different aspect and attributes.'
Sunny concentrated and considered words like "menu," "information," and "status." As soon as he focused, runes shimmered and appeared in the air.
After seeing the runes holding his information. His Jaws dropped to the ground.

Flaw: [Clear Conscience???].
Flaw Description: [You cannot lie.].
Sunny speechlessly stared at the runes, feeling dumbfounded by what he saw.
'What does this mean, why do I have the abilities Sunless received after his first nightmare, and what do all the question marks mean?'
Just then, a wave of memories assaulted his brain, leaving him with a painful headache, they were memories of the original Sunless nightmare and how he got into this present situation.
''How long until we get there, slave?'' The master Sunny was chained to ask.
''About a week my lord,'' Sunny responded after sorting through the memories he just received.
''Master Ben the slave can't be telling the truth; Auro can't be dead, right?'' An angry-looking Awakened beside Sunny asked.
''It does not matter if he is dead or alive. We have to retrieve the artifact that was on him'' The master responded.
"What about the slave?" A creepy-looking Awakened behind Sunny asked.
"We dispose of him after he leads us to Auro." The master replied for all to hear.
'They are going to kill me and they didn't bother hiding it.' All these situations that Sunny found himself in reminded him of the feeling of fear and helplessness he had in his previous life.
'I have been too complacent. Ever since I came to this world, even though I lived in the outskirts where life is generally terrible, I haven't experienced any freak accidents or near-death episodes that normally plague me in my previous life, so I thought I had won, I had escaped, I died in my world but in this world, I live. I thought that I had finally beaten death, but boy, was I wrong. So this is what death has been cooking for a decade now, me dying like a rat in the Nightmare, and my body transformed into a monster in the waking world.
'Think, think, how am I going to survive this? What should I do?... The Black Temple! The black temple is my only hope, but how would I lure them there before they kill me? Auro's body is a few feet away from the temple they will find his corpse before we can reach the temple. Fuck!' Sunny, still following the chain's lead, was now in deep thought, thinking of every possible way to get to the black temple.
"Am not going die, am going to survive I will beat you death. I promise." Sunny mumbled under his breath, lucky his captures hadn't heard what he just said they were preoccupied with staring at a group of silhouettes that appeared in their direction.
Sunny was the last to notice the creatures
'Are those Orcs? But why is their skin red'
''ROAR!!!''
Sunny dreamt of a magnificent temple. Its columns and walls were cut from black marble. It was colossal, with decorative pieces that looked like they had been carved by the gods. It looked like a palace of a dark god.
Alone on top of the altar in the temple lay a frail-looking boy who looked like he was drawing his last breath but a newfound light ignited in his eyes burning with relief.
Just outside the temple, Sunny saw a monster charging towards the young boy in the temple. The creature was at least four meters tall, looked like a lump of dirty snow with its yellow fur, and roughly round shape, and was as tall as a mounted horseman. The creature had two stumpy legs, an emaciated, hunched torso, and two disproportionately long, multijointed hands with terrifying bone claws.
It had five milky white eyes on its head and horrifying rows of jagged razor-sharp teeth.
Underneath its skin was an endless movement of worm-like shapes unsettling for Sunny to look at.
Just as the monster was about to rip the boy to shreds with its claws.
Shadows criped out of the great hall, for the shape of tentacles moving as though it was alive. The tentacles of darkness moved forward, entangling the monster, rupturing the creature's body, and ripping it limb from limb.
