Chapter 1 - Lucid Dream

Today is the 10th time Sazha has been rejected by the company he applied to.

That night, he stared at the stars in the sky, even though the stars were invisible but Sazha could feel them.

Now this unemployed man just wants to sleep soundly while waiting for the announcement of the acceptance of job applications the next day, even though now Sazha already knows the results.

"Maybe tomorrow will be the eleventh." Sazha said it while laughing, for some reason this time the laughter felt more genuine than the laughter when the HRD was telling his father's jokes.

That night, Sazha's body was sleeping very soundly, but his brain was still working, he secretly thought about his fate in the future and thought about his childhood dreams that were now 100% impossible to realize.

After several hours of closing his eyes, suddenly Sazha's body could not be moved, even though he was still conscious.

Sazha who was used to experiencing sleep paralysis was still afraid to open his eyes - his brain always automatically imagined strange creatures, even though he had tried to empty his mind.

At that time Sazha tried to move his fingers and feet, but he still had a hard time doing it.

For tens of minutes, Sazha still did that while closing his eyes—he was afraid of ghosts, even though he was an adult.

Because he had tried but the results were still zero, he tried to open his eyes, because he knew after this he would enter a lucid dream like he had heard on YouTube.

Sazha's brain always thinks about what he doesn't want to think about the most, so he really doesn't want to enter a lucid dream because he has never had a strange experience like that and he never wants to feel it.

His body was sweating, but there was no movement at all. He slowly tried to open his eyes while peeking at the surrounding conditions.

When he felt it was safe, he tried to open all his eyes, and above Sazha was seen the face of a strange creature whose face was completely destroyed.

Sazha immediately fainted at that moment, and unknowingly he entered the world of lucid dreams.

He suddenly met a monkey with a terrible form. The monkey screamed very loudly, Sazha covered his ears and told the ugly monkey to be quiet. However, the monkey kept screaming, to the point that Sazha's dream world started to look chaotic.

The background of the world that kept changing randomly, he saw ugly dragons flying, cities above the clouds, dinosaurs, and many other strange things.

Until the entire dream world turned black without any light/energy at all, Sazha's body slowly froze, he saw a figure flying here and there, its shape was the same as a human, but its entire body did not look physically real, Sazha's brain gave rise to the imagination that the black figure was the soul of a teenager.

Sazha wanted to pull the teenager's hand, but he had already frozen first. Suddenly he woke up, Sazha felt something was stuck in his chest, he opened his shirt and peeked at his own chest.

Now on his chest there is a green diamond that is fused with Sazha's body nerves, when his hand touches the green diamond, he sees all the concepts, ideas, origins, and physical details of a creature that is actually a human imagination, the creature is one of the ancient animals that is considered extinct, namely the Tully Monster, an ancient animal that is considered the worst.

Sazha's body suddenly transformed into a two-legged and two-handed monster but with eyes and mouth that resembled the Tully Monster.

Suddenly in front of Sazha appeared a 'Tully Monster' with a form as imagined by scientists.

Sazha was still in the dream world.

"Who are you strange creature?" said Tully in a surprised tone.

"Eh..." Sazha panicked.
