The ancient city in the early morning had no apparent difference from the day before.
However, in reality, nearly every citizen of the ancient city had a nightmare.
They couldn't recall exactly what they dreamt about, but when they awoke from their dreams, the entire city had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Firstly, many people had died.
No, it's not correct to refer to them as dead.
In the technologically backward ancient city, brain death was not defined as death since most of the people still retained their ability to breathe.
If there's breathing, how could it be called death?
Yet in reality, these individuals were indeed dead; their consciousness had died within the dreamscape.
