<Evolution Options>

[Abyssal Calamity Death Freeze Dragon]

[Daydreaming Netherworld Ice Dragon]

[Spectral Dark Ice Dragon]

[Great Death Tundra Dragon]

[Dark Mirage Dragon]

…

After looking at all the evolution options and their details, I couldn't help but wonder what I should really pick, it is a difficult question to make to such an undecisive dragon such as me! But I don't want to waste too much time, I gotta pick what I feel like the most.

To be honest, they all had impressive and detailed information sheets, so I was left rather speechless as I saw them all. What should I pick now? I am beginning to grow nervous…

Ah, fine, I will pick this one. I really want it anyway, and it will help me develop further into the direction I currently want…

Ding!

<You've chosen the [Daydreaming Netherworld Ice Dragon] Evolution Option>

<Starting evolution…>

FLASH!

Suddenly, my entire body begins to change in front of me, I begin to change too, of course.

My body begins to stretch itself a little, and I grow several meters more. My scales begin to grow bigger but at the same time, smaller and more refined.

This change was really something else! I was really evolving into something incredible.

I couldn't help but see myself evolve, but a sudden headache hit me, and I fell unconscious…

Ugh, I suppose that's when the brain begins to evolve.

That night, all around the City of the Ice Moon Sect, people dreamed about strange things.

Places they had never met, worlds they had never visited, and these dreams seemed more realistic than anything they had ever experimented with.

But within these dreams, they found an enormous dragon with mystical eyes that flashed with incredible power.

It guided them into these dreams. Sometimes it would guide them into an awful nightmare, and other times, they would go into a beautiful dream.

Usually, those that had done terrible things to innocents in their lives dreamed the worst nightmares, while those that had suffered through their lives dreamed about happy things, bringing joy and hope to their weakened hearts, and dying spirits…

Those that had terrible nightmares, which rightfully deserved them, woke up terrified, and even worst, constipated as if they had been punished somehow. Some even felt like their mana was weaker than other days, and others felt as if someone had just bitten their soul or something, although that was simply impossible for these sect members who didn't know anything of souls.

However, one of them had a particular dream, the Sect Master Lord Ice Moon dreamed about something… rather peculiar!

But what did he dream?

He dreamed with this dragon, who looked over at him with its powerful and tyrannical aura, and flashing eyes.

He looked at this entity and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

He had tried to speak within the dream, but it was impossible.

Who was this entity and why was a dragon looking at him?

He began to remember things he had read.

The Dream Fox Demon Venerable had spread her Dream Attribute, unique of her, across the world, until it became a part of the world, large clouds of dreams emerged across the world. It was an Era of Dreams where people were accidentally pulled into dreams all the time. Sometimes they managed to complete the dream and gained a new power, and other times they died in their dreams, to never wake up again…

Of course, this ended when the next Venerable of the Righteous Path came along, cleansing most of the world from these dream clouds but without being able to take away the dream attribute from the world, it had been awakened from the world, not introduced into it, so it was going to stay, despite its dangerousness.

Some sects, the biggest ones across the continents created spells and techniques to counter this element, but many were left in the blue.

He learned that through dreams, many unique monsters existed, which were of the dream attribute.

Monsters usually were of an attribute, ice horned rabbits, frost wolves, ice bears, and so on… and well, there were also dream monsters. Such as dream-seeking serpents, daydreaming dragons, dreamer frogs, nightmare horrors, and so on…

They were extremely rare yet valuable monsters.

And now, one of them was in front of him, a Daydreaming Dragon!

He saw them in the book, they resembled giant and monstrous serpents with gigantic wings and large legs, their wings had flashy multi-colored eyes that seemed to hypnotize people, while their horns were golden and flashed with brilliance…

They were usually pink and purple, but this one was black and azure-colored, with several plates of armor-like ice and silver scales across its body… it had another pair of wings, being four, and it even had another pair of legs too… it resembled a monster from the depths of hell too, as it emanated a deathly and phantasmal aura, glaring at him with its flashing phantom eyes.

"What… What do you want, beast! Don't dare come closer to me! Even in dreams… I won't die easily!" roared Lord Ice Moon.

Lord Ice Moon was utterly delusional, against such a beast, he stood no chance, even less because he had not prepared artifacts to use in dreams, and he had no dream attribute magic either to use, he was hopeless!

However, the Daydreaming dragon only told him one thing and only one single thing.

"Clean your sect of trash, or I will do it myself."

"W-What…! Who are you?!"

"…"

The dragon suddenly opened its jaws, as they moved towards him.

"S-Stop! Uuaagggh…!"

CHOMP!

"AAAHH!"

Lord Ice Moon, the respected Rank 4 Master of this sect, woke up creaming in fear.

"Ahh… It was just a dream… Just a dream…" he sighed in relief, although he recalled rather well how he was just eaten by a giant dragon. It wasn't something he would like to dream about ever again, to be honest.

"What did it mean by… cleaning my sect of trash? Did that dragon meant something?" wondered the sect master, intrigued about this strange dream.
