Johnny found himself in a large underground cavern. Jagged rocks lined the walls and ceiling, with an unusually polished stone floor. However, the floor was also… covered in blood and dead bodies.
Some of the bodies were human, while others… were something else. A lot of them looked like a mix of a human and a dragon, and some were just full on dragons.
Burnt and torn black and red flags were scattered across the cavern as well, with a few still flying along the walls. There were also small fires few and far between.
"What… where am I?" Johnny spoke as he tried to stand as he realized he was kneeling, but was halted.
"Wait, I can't move?!"
It appeared that Johnny couldn't move a muscle, it was as if he was locked in place by some invisible, unknown force. This dream just kept getting weirder.
'I guess I'm supposed to just look around then?' Johnny thought, still a little bewildered at this dream. Of all the dreams he had in his life, this one was by far the most vivid and odd. It almost felt real…
Coming to terms with being unable to move, Johnny started scanning the underground room, mainly focusing on the many dead bodies strewn across the polished stone floor.
After close inspection of the inhuman creatures that lay dead, Johnny noticed signs of battle. One in particular had about half of it's body frozen by ice. Another had deep impressions of fists all over its chest.
There were many bodies that appeared sliced into pieces… Other creatures appeared burnt to a crisp. Large boulders and spikes of stone were thrown across the room, crushing and impaling many of the foes…
"It looks like some massive magical battle happened here…" Observed Johnny, still wondering why this dream felt so real to him…
But that was when he saw it…
Upon closer inspection on the human corpses, he recognized one of them. A fit girl with blond hair who was wearing what looked to be some kind of armor and steel gauntlets.
"Vanessa?!" Johnny shouted in disbelief. The anal loving blond girl of his harem had a huge red spike impaled through her chest. Pinning her body to the cracked stone floor below her…
'This dream just got much weirder…' Johnny thought as he moved his eyes across the cavern again, this time keeping an eye out for familiar human bodies.
It wasn't long before he spotted another familiar face, or actually, faces…
A slender body with long black hair lay charred and blackened on the bloody stone floor. However, it appeared there was another person crouched above the poor soul, attempting to shield it in some way. Unfortunately, that person, who was curvy and had brown, chestnut hair, was also dead.
"Leah… and Madison?!" Exclaimed Johnny as he recognized the two women from his harem. He hadn't yet conquered these two and fully made them part of his harem, however it still pained his heart to see toys that he called his laying dead and defeated.
'So, if Vanessa, Leah and Madison are here. Does that mean Janet, Melissa and Samantha are here too?!' Johnny theorized, praying to God that it wasn't true. This may have been a dream, but that didn't mean Johnny wanted to see such horrible sights.
Unfortunately, who or whatever was playing this cruel trick on him clearly heard his thoughts…
As Johnny broke his gaze away from the terrible sight of a dead Leah and Madison, he once again spotted the remains of women from his harem…
There, surrounded by dozens of dead monsters, was a smashed puddle of flesh and blood. On the outskirts of that puddle, we're two tufts of red hair…
That red hair… Johnny could not mistake it for anything else. It was Janet and Melissa, his pseudo-mother and sister. He may have treated Melissa as his personal cum dumpster, but that didn't mean he didn't care about the well being of said cum dumpster.
Not to mention Janet, the woman who was beginning to take the place of a mother figure in Johnny's life. It hadn't been long since he lost his real mother, and his heart still ached from the absence of her unconditional love.
This twisted logic held by Johnny's brain was just a byproduct of living life as a failure. After failing at anything and everything someone does, and never having any accomplishments, these things will end up negatively affecting one's psyche.
However, these experiences were not all for naught, as they did end up being the reason this pitiful excuse of a human was chosen by the universe to be the holder of the Common Sense Manipulation System.
'Melissa and Janet too?! Aurora! AURORA!' Johnny screamed in his mind.
"AURORA WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"
In a desperate attempt to hear a familiar voice, Johnny called out to Aurora, only to be met with silence. The one time he actually wanted to hear Aurora's opinion, she was gone from his mind…
'Hell, I'd even take one of her insults right now over her just being silent…' Johnny joked darkly to himself, trying to make light of this odd situation. He was almost certain this wasn't just a dream by now, as nothing this life-like could possibly be fake…
But just as he finished that thought…
"What's wrong human?" A deep, ancient, dragonic voice sounded out…
If Johnny wasn't already frozen, he would have froze in place at the sound of this voice. It made every fiber of his being scream in terror and urge him to flee from the deepest part of his heart. But alas, this human was stuck, and could do nothing else but slowly turn his gaze over to the direction the terrifying voice came from.
At the end of the cavern, shrouded in darkness, was a red and black dragon of epic proportions, easily taller and wider than the apartment building Johnny lived in.
From the snout of the demonic beast came plums of flame and smoke, which illuminated the being's mouth.
In between the man-sized teeth of this dragon, was a woman with silver hair, dangling by her leg…
