Chapter 887 Cap 885: Endless Nightmare
I look into my little sister’s eyes, maybe because I’ve spent so much time with Hinata who shows almost no emotion in her expressions, I’ve come to better buy into what people feel through her eyes.
I can see concern in my sister’s eyes, I remember the first time I met her in my dreams I thought she was scary, seeing her trying to hide her emotions like that makes me feel better knowing she cares about me.
“I decided to continue.” (I)
“So let’s do it now before that daughter-obsessed Dragon wakes up.” (Caitlyn)
“Lay in bed.” (Caitlyn)
I lay on my bed, I was a little anxious and very scared of what was to come, my heart was beating so fast it could explode, but even so, I was determined to continue, the mere fact that my sister Natasha mentioned this method of training shows I should as she clearly hesitated to jump right into this topic with Caitlyn.
“< Reality Barrier >” (Caitlyn)
“< Illusory Chains >” (Caitlyn)
“This will keep others from interfering while also preventing you from causing harm to others when you start to lose control.” (Caitlyn)
“Is it going to be really bad?” (I)
“It’s going to start bad and it’s going to get worse by the end.” (Caitlyn)
“…” (I) ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ
“Alright, thanks for helping meโฆbig sister.” (I)
“…” (Caitlyn)
“Try to remember my words all the time, there is only one you among different masks.” (Caitlyn)
“< Nightmare World: King’s Spark >” (Caitlyn)
My sister put up a barrier that I could barely see around the bed, she also chained my arms and legs, it only scared me more and I still wanted to keep going.
Soon a chilling Aura shot out of her body along with a power she wasn’t able to comprehend forming a crown that seemed to be made of sharp purple crystal shards.
The moment I saw that macabre crown it was like I was seeing a horrible monster, there was a voice in my head telling me all the time to run, to run away as fast as possible, I’ve never felt so scared before.
“You can still stop if you want, when you get this into your head even I can’t do anything but watch.” (Caitlyn)
“…” (I)
“There are other ways for you to learn emotional control, even if it is slower it will still be safer.” (Caitlyn)
“…” (I)
“It’s up to you to decide.” (Caitlyn)
“…” (I)
“Keep going…” (I)
“Resist.” (Caitlyn)
She pointed towards me and the crown of fragments came to me slowly, soon the crown was on my head, but to my surprise, I didn’t feel anything, the fragments of the crown didn’t hurt me, and I didn’t feel anything abnormal with my body or anything my mind.
“Good morning… master…” (Ibuki)
“Ibuki!?” (I)
Still confused about what was happening, I heard a faint voice beside me, a voice I’ve known since my earliest days, the one that had been with me the longest and my first love in this world.
When I turned to her I realized that there was no barrier around me anymore and no chains holding me, besides that I was in my mansion inside the Dungeon in my room lying on my bed.
“Good morning… HAAAAAAAHHH!!!” (I)
When I turn to say good morning to Ibuki, I see a thin line of blood trickling from her mouth, as I hurriedly pull the covers off I realize that there is only her head next to me, her lifeless eyes, her pale skin, and the blood dripping from her soft lips.
“This isn’t real, it can’t be real…” (I)
“Master what is…” (Diana)
“DIANA!!!” (I)
“Ghuh!!!” (Diana)
“NOOOOTTTT!!!!!!” (I)
Crack Crack
When Diana walks through the door I try to run to her, but I soon noticed a humanoid shadow behind her and a black claw crosses her chest from back to front revealing her heart pulsing just torn out in front of me before crushing.
With my cry of pain, the world seems to break around me, as if they were just illusions when I realize I’m already traveling to my sister’s mansion in front of its doors made of bones.
I walk in and all I see on the floor are bodies, the bodies of my friends, partners, family, and lovers.
All lifeless on the floor, with blood splattering the walls and forming puddles on the floor.
“Haaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!” (I)
Suddenly I woke up in bed in my sister’s mansion, as much as it happened, I thought it was over when I noticed the barrier around the bed and the chains trapping me.
“I… I… get out of that… hell???” (I)
I look around and my sister Caitlyn is nowhere to be seen, I see Vanessa sitting on the bed with her back to me and I tap her on the shoulder to turn her towards me, I really need a hug right now.
“No… no… why is that…” (I)
When I turn her around holding one of her shoulders, she falls onto the bed with blood pouring from her eyes, nose, and mouth.
She was completely dead, her lifeless eyes staring at me.

Pov Caitlyn (Living Nightmare):
I look at Zenos, my little younger brother, I followed his and Natasha’s wish even though I didn’t agree.
He had the cursed crown on his head with blood pouring from one of his wounds and tears streaming from her eyes.
“HAAAAHHHHH!!!!” (Zenos)
“NOT!!!!!!” (Zenos)
“Just bear it, learn from the pain, accept the anger and hate inside you, every emotion is just another mask we wear, they are all true, but you must learn that each of these masks doesn’t change who you are.” (Caitlyn)
“Learn not to control these emotions, but to use them, a true King is one who accepts everything while standing firm, don’t deny your emotions, don’t try to control your emotions, just accept it.” (Caitlyn)
I land on the ground and place my hand on his face, I know everything he is seeing and I can feel his emotions through his Aura exploding out of his body.
I look out of the barrier I’ve created and see Natasha looking at us, I know she can’t see or hear what’s going on here, I did it so no one would interfere and not make others suffer by seeing him like this.
I walk out of the barrier to stop in front of her.
“How is he?” (Natasha)
“The first few hours will be the worst part, he will be consumed by pain and sadness, he will try to deny what he is seeing, he will try to convince himself that nothing is real.” (I)
“Only after he gets past that will be when he starts to accept his emotions fully, that is if he can get through the pain.” (I)
“He will succeed, it will strengthen his mind and Aura, as well as accelerate the awakening of his Authority.” (Natasha)
“All we can do now is wait.” (I)
