Toby has gotten home safe and sound, but his mother had to leave almost immediately afterwards. She still has to work, and although her boss was very nice, Sarah didn't want to take advantage of her kindess.
Toby helped himself to what was in the fridge, he couldn't cook, but could certainly make himself a sandwich. After finishing his little sandwich, the teenager took some time to study the dream system.
Toby Robinson: Let's see... System, show me how many dream points I have left. (Toby asks, hoping his dream points replenished over time)
[0/100 Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Aah, as expected. I've got nothing. (Toby said in disappointment)... Wait a minute, don't I have two of these? System, show me my secondary dream points. (Toby asked)
[100/100 Secondary Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Awesomesauce! It really does work that way! That means I have a steady supply of dream points at my disposal, and I know exactly what I'm going to do with it. (Toby said with a smile)... View skill shop! (Toby said)
[Viewing Skill Shop]
[Dream Sword: 10 Dream Points To Purchase]
[Dream Shield: 10 Dream Points To Purchase]
[Tamed Summoning: 20 Dream Points To Purchase]
[Tamed Holding: 10 Dream Points To Purchase]
[Tamed Master: 10 Dream Points To Purchase]
[????????]
Toby proceeds to purchase every single skill in his skill shop, getting a message from the system afterwards.
[Use Of Secondary Dream Points Authorized]
[You Have Successfully Purchased The Dream Sword, Dream Shield, Tamed Summoning, Tamed Holding, Tamed Master]
[Skills Can Now Be Activated]
[-60 Secondary Dream Points]
[40/100 Secondary Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Doesn't matter, it'll soon replenish soon anyways. (Toby said with a smile)... Wow I am really talking to myself a lot lately, good thing I'm all alone... Anyway, let's see if I can use these skills in the real world! (Toby said excitedly, raising up a hand to prepare himself)... Activate, Dream Sword! (Toby yells, prepared for something awesome to happen)
Toby held out his hand, expecting a magical sword to appear in it. But the sword does not come, and he is left standing there like an idiot.
[Error: Skills Cannot Be Used In The Conscious World]
Toby Robinson: I thought as much, guess I can only be a hero in my dreams. (Toby said in disappointment).... And, I'm talking to myself again. (Sighs) Let's see if I can get some sleep. (Toby said before leaving the kitchen and going into his room)
Toby's room is designed with several posters of his favorite comic book and movie characters, which he was proud enough of to display. He jumps on his bed, and then makes himself comfortable
Toby Robinson: (Deep Breath) Here we go. (Toby said as closes his eyes, trying to relax enough to fall asleep)
[Would You Like To Enter The Dream World]
[Y/N]
Toby Robinson: That's pretty convenient... Yes. (Toby replied softly)
[Entering Dream State]
Toby's consciousness quickly leaves his body, entering another plane of existence, the dream world. The young dreamer wakes up on a grassy landscape, lying on the soft green grass, but next to him is a large brown figure.
Toby turns to get a better look of what was beside him, finding out that it was the massive one eyed bear named Browny.
Toby Robinson: Oh Crap! (Toby yells as he quickly gets on his feet, moving away from the dream being)
Browny is much more docile than the last time they met, but Toby still has some fresh memories of the Bear's aggressive nature, which made him very scared of the dream bear.
[Name: Browny]
[Race: Dream Being]
[Level: Low Grade Dream Being]
[Skills: Terror]
[Status: Tamed]
Toby Robinson: That's right, I tamed you... That means I'm your master now, right? (Toby asks fearfully, his nervous hands stretched forward)
Obviously the Bear doesn't respond this question, instead it just continues to lay down on the soft green grass, barely giving any attention to the young dreamer.
Toby Robinson: You're not much of a talker are you? That's good, that might have been kind of creepy. (Toby said with a nervous smile)... What is this place anyway? (Toby wonders, begining to look around)
This place has clear sunny skies, with an endless field of green grass which blows in the direction of calm winds. The sight was pretty peaceful, and the landscape didn't seem to change, which makes Toby wonder if he was still in the dream world.
[Welcome To Your Expanded Domain]
[What Would You Like To Name It?]
[ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ]
Toby Robinson: So this is my Domain huh? It's nice, but I can't think of a name of the top of my head... Hmmm, any ideas? (Toby asks the brown bear)
Browny once again doesn't answer him, not because he didn't want to, but because he can't, or won't, who knows what's going on in that big head of his.
Toby Robinson: You're obviously not going to be any help, so I'm just gonna come up with something myself... Hmmm, how about, The Grassland. (Toby said as he put in the name through the letters provided by the screen)
[Name Selected]
[Welcome To The Grassland]
Toby Robinson: So that's done, and now I can get started on what I really came here for... Let's try this again. (Toby said as he stretches a hand to the sky, preparing himself once again)... Activate, Dream Sword! (Toby yells out)
A surge of energy easily flows from the centre of his chest to the palm of his hand, constructing a sword of blue light in his right hand.
[Dream Sword Activated]
[-10 Secondary Dream Points]
[30/100 Secondary Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Awesomesauce! (Toby said as he swung the sword excitedly, creating a blur with each swing)... Activate Dream Shield! (Toby said as he summoned a shield of blue light in his other hand)
[Dream Shield Activated]
[-10 Secondary Dream Points]
[20/100 Secondary Dream Points]
Toby Robinson: Wait a freaking minute! Why am I almost out of dream points right now?! (Toby asks after noticing how many dream points he has left)
Toby has already purchased these skills from the skill shop, so he naturally assumed they would cost no dream points to use.
Toby Robinson: Okay then how about this... Dream Beam! (Toby said as he tries to confirm something)
[Error: You Lack The Dream Points Needed For This Action]
Toby Robinson: Okay I don't get this at all, why can't I use my skills without dream points? This is so confusing. (Toby thought in frustration, before remembering that the dream sword and shield were still in his hands)
Toby still wanted to figure out why his skills worked this way, but for now he still has his weapons in hand, and the teenager desperately wants to test them out.
Toby Robinson: Hey Browny! Wanna go on an adventure? (Toby asks with an excited smile)
The Bear doesn't respond, but stood up immediately after hearing this question, which seems like a yes to Toby.
Toby Robinson: This is gonna be fun. (Toby said with a smile)
Next: On An Adventure.
