『DREAM-EATER』
has challenged you to a PvP!

Huh,

excuse me,
what?

I groaned,
pulling myself up--

oh, I was lying down?
wait, where am I?

The world was black.

Darkness was the walkway,
the abyss was the sky.

The stars sprinkled a canopy
over her head,

but nothing else
was in sight.

My phone shone that neon beam
that irritated my eyes,
but chimed

and stubbornly proved to me
that I had to be aware of this.

"Dream-Eater," 
I read,
"another sucky name."

Wait, didn't I go to bed?

I remembered now--
I came home three hours ago,

had dinner a while ago,
and went straight to sleep.

So where the hell am I?

I'm not in bed..

"Fuck,"
I realized,
and checked through

my phone--

I couldn't go to my
contacts-- 

I couldn't press home.

There was just that map on
the dumb screen,

that was pitch black
save for two dots in the center.

The blue dot was probably me--

And apparently, right
in front of me,
marked by a red dot--

Was the player
called

'Dream-Eater'.

I swore again.

I didn't remember
accepting the PvP.

no-- there wasn't a choice?
I couldn't reject this battle?

I felt
an excruciating

tear

rip through her shoulder.

As if something
had just bitten off
a chunk of it.

I couldn't stop
the scream that just

dragged itself out
of my throat.

It was a searing,
burning flare,

shredding every nerve,
severing every bone.

Maybe I was exaggerating--

But the pain shot right through
my mind, burning
into my brain and
lingering as phantom agony
throbbing at my muscles.

For a second I could think of
nothing but the pain.

And through this, the phone

blinked happily,
flickered gleefully,
continued foolishly.

This was a dream, right?

Why did it hurt?
Why wasn't it ending?
Where is this?
Who was that?
What just happened?

This was just a dream,

I tried to convince myself,
because right now, I'm--

My body is fighting
a PvP with a stranger.

And even though
they only chose moves
with a single press
of a button--

The pain was real.
