Chapter 41- Make a fuss (2)

It was purely a coincidence that I stumbled upon this content by chance.

While browsing through the internet after last night’s accident, someone posted stories about their own dreams in each of the article’s comment section. It appeared as if they were experiencing what I had experienced before – a very realistic lucid dream.

There were numerous comments about such occurrences, and there was a high probability that most of the potential dreamwalkers were simply silently observing rather than sharing their own stories.

I believe it’s best to refrain from engaging in search activities given my skills and these events. By using these articles as references, I can filter out those who genuinely dream about the Mu continent, reward cards, and so on

Fortunately, SNS exist. These made my work of gathering people easier.

However, each comments were full of arrogance.

[Castle_park: I think I can help you. If you want, please send me a message.]

Castle (Sung) Park?

Sung Park…

Park Sung?

“He won’t give up.”

I let out a snicker.

He warned me to be careful, but seeing him coming forward like this, it seems that a person’s bad habit was difficult to get rid of.

I don’t think the contents of the newspaper from the future will change.

He’ll get caught soon.

Was he being fearless?

Or was there something he believe in?

After looking through the situation with my arms crossed for a while.

I recalled the skills I gained from the reward card.

Face Morph.

It’s one of the skills I tried buying from the Point Vending Machine the other day.

A skill that I will most likely use in the future for personal protection.

Although it needs a considerable amount of mana to use, my mana level is quite high now, so I can maintain it for two hours if nothing happens.

Shall I try?

Dangerous things don’t suit me.

“Well.”

But who should I Face Morph into?

Right now I need more information related to Dreamwalkers.

Park Sung has more colleagues than me even if he already died in the Mu continent… Maybe he got himself a new colleague during this time.

Was he raking in new Dreamwalkers to pretend being a boss?
Or did he have some sort of plan?

While contemplating, I stroke my non-existing beard.

If he’s raking in Dreamwalkers, I think I need to take an action.

Moreover, Korean dreamwalkers were concentrated in the Kingdom of Kael and the Roel Empire, we would likely encounter each other later on.

So I don’t think it’s a bad idea to look for them ahead.

I can’t socialize with them for a long time like Tae-young and Sachiko, but I can filter out people who are useless and does who weren’t.

Okay, let’s go.

If there is something wrong, I can just run away immediately.

I am confident that if I run away, no one would be able to follow me.

Having decided to go out like that, I took some essentials and left home.

“Face Morph.”

After catching a taxi, I made an anonymous SNS account with an overseas IP at a PC room in Gangnam and sent a note to Park Sung.

Within 30 minutes, I received a response.

[Hello, I’d like to confirm something.]

He asked me some questions to confirm if I was a Dreamwalker, and when he confirmed that I was a Dreamwalker, I told him when and where can we meet in person to talk.

***

It’s 1 p.m.

I arrived at Sinpoong Station on Line 7, fortunately there aren’t many people.

My destination was Shingil Neighborhood Park near the station.

It was a small but all-inclusive park.

I was supposed to meet Park Sung at the park’s playground, but there were few grown men and women walking around. There was no signs of him appearing.

Currently, I have a face of someone in his mid-30s after using Face Morph.

Therefore, I observed the people around me without any pressure about giving away my identity .

Most of these people were probably Dreamwalkers.

There were a total of 8 people in the playground including me.

It surprised me that there are more people than I thought.

Looking at each other’s vigilance, I don’t think everyone here have a rash personality.

After a while my gaze stopped to a familiar person.

Taeyoung?

“Ah!”

I had to express my surprise looking at the person coming in the playground.

He was the new Dreamwalker in Karas Village.

When I became the center of the attention of everyone, I sat down and acted as if nothing happened.

Was I too shocked to see someone from the Karas Village?

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Those who came through SNS messages, please gather here.”

Then Park Sung appeared.

I sneaked behind Taeyoung.

“I’m a Dreamwalker, the first person to travel to the Mu continent on May 12.”

“Dreamwalker?”

“It’s a name for people like us.”

It was name made by Park Sung, but I’m now completely used to it and I think it’s synonymous with the Attendant.

Most people here don’t even seem to know they’re called Attendants by the locals in My Continent.

Park Sung, a professional talker, smiled at such people.

“May I know what country you belong to on Mu continent?”

Seven people, including me, were in the Kingdom of Kael and two belonged to the Roel Empire.

“You’re probably confused about the situation.”

The rest nodded obediently at his serious remarks.

“But it’s not just a simple dream that’s happening to us right now. You’re all aware of that, aren’t you?”

“That’s why we’re here.”

As soon as they received the card, they should have realized that this wasn’t a dream.

Furthermore, they may have gotten at least three cards since they stayed in the Mu Continent for several days.

“The experience on the Mu continent is terrifying, but the sweet fruit of reward is enough to ignite the fire of motivation.”

While he was talking, my attention was on the three men and women approaching behind Park Sung.
He was really good at catching attention, as expected of someone who does live broadcasting.

“At times like this, I think we need to work together. To develop individual interests and the power of God as a chosen man. To be the ruler of the new world!”

Park Sung, who said a very cringey line, was kicked in the butt by a slim woman standing behind him.

The atmosphere around the woman wearing a black mask and sunglasses was completely different from a clumsy newbie.

I had a vague feeling that she was quite a strong man.

“I’ll explain it from now on.”

I knew it, but people distorted the fact that Park Sung, who they thought was a leader, was nothing more than a scammer.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Kim Sun-ah, the 105th day attendant of the Mu Continent, currently active in the Roel Empire.”

When she opened her eyes wide, she looked as if those where words of a woman who appeared to be a leader.

“Let me assure you, once you die on the Mu continent, you don’t die in reality. The man who just spoke died on the Mu continent, but he’s doing fine.”

As soon as they heard her words, relief washed over in people’s faces.

Taeyoung, who had a near-death experience before, also said, “I’m glad to hear that.”

“But life on the Mu Continent gives us strength and wealth. If we die there, we will no longer be able to enter the Mu continent, and we will lose growth and compensation.”

People don’t seem to mind much because their safety was guarantee.

But everyone’s facial expressions changed after hearing her next words.

“I was originally a job seeker who only had student loans without any savings. But now I have about 3 billion won worth of property and recently I bought a new home. It’s all thanks to the rewards of completing the quests on the Mu continent.”

In the case of my house, I did the quest that occurred in the fog and received it.

If she had never completed a quest in the fog, she may have received it in another way.

“And there’s future information in the quest rewards. If you do well, you can find out the lotto number, and you can find out about stocks that will rise. What if we work together to share such information? Everyone will be able to get wealth in a stable way.”

She’s right.

Clearly a stable proposal.

“We can also share our quests, or we can help each other. Of course, survival rates in the Mu continent are bound to go up. So I’d like to offer you solidarity. Why don’t we create a clan together, join forces on Mu Continent and on Earth?”

It’s a great scene.

I thought that exchanges between Dreamwalkers would become more active as the Time Conflict was resolved, but I never thought that she would act this openly.

Obviously, the intention was good, but certainly there would be a bloodbath in some group.

Maybe it’s because I’m too pessimistic, but being with others meant many variables will arise creating more risk.

“I think it’s a good suggestion. But I don’t trust you very much to work with.”

It was Taeyoung who said that unexpectedly.

He was pointing at the fact that Kim Sun-ah was hiding her face.

I felt like he was also talking about me using the Face Morph skill in order to hide my face.
However, I think she was a normal and the people who were showing their faces seemed weird.

“I’m sorry, but there are people in the Mu continent who I’m not well connected. I don’t want to let the conflict in the Mu continent to happen in reality. Let me take advantage of the comfort of having many people of the same name in our country. I can’t use my alias on the Mu continent, too.”

People who are not good.

“Why do you think showing your identity is a bad idea?”

That was my question.

Kim Sun-Ah said with a small sigh.

“I’m not the first one to think of Clan. Right now, many groups are being formed in the Mu continent. We had a meeting with the first batch of attendants yesterday. We shared opinions there.”

They had a meeting with the first batch?

Thinking about what happened, I realized that I had never heard of it before. Then, it occurred to me that someone had sent a message to the attendants through an information guild.

Of course, I have information protection, so the information has not been delivered directly to me.

Perhaps the person who hosted the meeting intentionally excluded me.

“Is the environment harsh enough to hide our identity just because of disagreement?”

Once the topic was opened, questions come from all over the place.

“There’s one unrivaled figure among the first batch of Attendants. But he had a problem with a quest that risked the lives of all his attendants. Furthermore, if you fail the quest, you will not only die in the Mu continent, but also die in reality.”

“What…?”

A quest that have people die in reality if it fails, so she was sick and tired of those who were relieved.

“I don’t think it’s going to happen again. Don’t worry too much. The quest seems to have been completed successfully.”

Despite her saying that positive and vague answer, the people around couldn’t be completely relieved.

“He was very tough to carry out a life-threatening quest. He even removed the attendants who didn’t follow his instructions. That’s why we’re divided. As long as our lives in reality is at stake, the person’s actions were inevitable,” she said.

In fact, saying that there was chances of dying in reality was an exaggerated lie to force them to follow the instructions.

Although it was not totally a lie because if they don’t complete the quest, they’ll get a murder quest every time they meet each other.

“I personally support that person. The method was drastic, but it’s true that I got help. And we don’t know his hardships, do we? Probably did that for the majority.”

‘Ah.’

I thought I was familiar with it.

I could tell she was the one who stood by me right in the waiting room.

“I don’t think there’s any reason why we can’t be on the same side just because we have different opinions about one person.”

“That’s true. But I don’t think it’s appropriate for them to have an affair. Their main task was to reject and sanction the benefactor who completed the quest. They just don’t want to tolerate the existence of an exceptional one. I don’t know what kind of reward I would have gotten for completing such a huge quest.”

Exclusion and sanctions?

That’s ridiculous.

I think I’ll go to the Information Guild as soon as I head to the Mu Continent.

If it’s a problem later, it’s better to remove it and then move on.

“That’s why I decided not to join them, and thought of bringing people together to create a new Clan.”

The other nodded, saying they were convinced by what she said.

They didn’t disagree with her idea much because it wasn’t a first-hand experience.

Kim Sun-ah looked at Taeyoung asking for his understanding of covering her face.

Taeyoung nodded, saying, “I know what you feel.”

“I won’t force you to choose. But in the future, I think this Clan system will be a necessity for people like us.”

It’s a story that makes me think a lot.

Frankly, I already predicted that the attendants will form a force among themselves, but I did not expect such a large-scale gathering.

I think it would be better to think about her relationship with her Clan in the future.

“For those of you who will be with us, please stay. Those who don’t, you can go back.”

There was no one out of place.

It’s good to make a Clan and watch out for other attendants, but I still think they need to be afraid of the government of this country.

Maybe Park Sung risked himself to protect the others, but according to the Future Newspaper, it didn’t lead to jail but experimentation.

I think I should say something.

“That’s great.”

Kim Sun-ah looked at the Dreamwalkers, who were staying in their own seats and looked at them with satisfaction.

“Well, let’s move on. I’ll—”

She couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

“……!”

This is because the fog that erupted like a storm and covered everywhere.

“Darn it, fog has to do with the attendants.”

With Kim Sun-ah’s words, thick fog enveloped each people

She shouted, “Don’t panic, gather around me!”
