Chapter 91 - The Dream Frontier

As Emanuil stretched his limbs he decided to take a walk, in the heaven of isolation, his own personal dimension.

Little background:

Before he was in the dream where he was the child of the backrooms, he had used his power to move himself.

Though his powers seem really powerful, while he is in this meditative state his body is vulnerable, not only that, he can't interact directly with his body or it would make him wake up immediately.

He has the privileges that any lucid dreamer has in their dreams, but he decided to take a leap and claim that power as his identity, his uniqueness in the vast world(s) created by the all powerful.

With that he became the Dreamer. Once a normal boy - not much thought in the head, he began to experience more and more mystical phenomenon in his life, like the world shifting, one time he sees something the next after he closes his eyes they disappear, not only that he was raised with the belief that the world is just a perspective, he tried to change the world while awake, but it wouldn't work.

One night, while he was sleeping he had a dream in which he achieved lucidity, which allowed him to do certain stuff, but the real thing that truly happened was when he woke up - he simply felt a cold, calming feeling in the chest as he began to think, think, think!

And then it came to him, the desire to claim this power, from there he began to dream with a goal, to achieve lucidity and to be capable of changing the dream directly by changing his perspective.

This was his goal, and this goal one day, became fulfilled...

He was happy, all his work was rewarding. He felt at peace.

And so, he mentally gave his farewells to his family, before reaching another state of lucidity, in which he managed to dream within the physical realm, then he tried to carry his body, but this immediately woke him up.

From there it was trial and error until he finally figured how to do, what to do.

And so, knowing it was in his capabilities, he helped his family achieve the financial stability they have always wanted, and then he was gone, happy with himself.

He was off, to the world he has opened for himself alone.

This was the beginning of something greater.

Back to present times:

He has grown a lot as a person, by now people from the place he knew as the hero universe would call his power a quirk worth for a god, probably.

He was interested in what the progression of their world would be.

And so he decided to fall back asleep, as he needed to open a way back to that universe, maybe unnecessary to go there physically, but it's a whatever.

With this intention he laid back down on the bench, which seemed quite soft mystically.

As he drifted off to sleep he was back in his dreaming form, currently unaware, he wandered around, spoke to some random people from wherever, and yeah, pretty fun stuff, until night hit the world, this was when he was in an apartment building similar to the one's he lived in before coming here. He looked at the bathroom and idea of the darkness within provoked a deep sense of uneasiness within him, so he quickly locked the door of the bathroom and left the apartment.

With that he closed the door behind him and ran down the stairs, before hearing the door being broken down, with that the stress level got higher.

He sped up, before realizing that he won't be capable of out running it on the stairs, so he quickly went to the open window of this floor, and jumped out as this thing was right behind him.

As the air brushed against him, he quickly got on his feet and continued running as the usual low gravitational pull of his dreams took over, with large jumps he began to speed up, before stopping and preparing to jump high.

He looked down at his hands as there was the spark of lucidity, and his hand as usual ever molding into new unknown shapes.

The creature was behind him, but he just stood there as he thought - It isn't stronger than me. -

He pretended like he was about to jump away, before turning around to the rushing creature, dodging it with smooth movements, before hitting it strongly.

After the first hit, as he began to continue hitting it, his fists got slower and slower, but he kept on pushing ignoring the effects that the dreams had.

And so the creature was defeated and he achieved the needed lucidity, he looked down at his hand to double ensure, triple ensure that he was dreaming, so he can raise his lucidity.

With the intentions as a goal, he said - It's time to act upon the plan. - and he believed there was a portal behind him that would lead him to where his physical body currently was.

As he moonwalked backwards, closing his eyes and turning around once he crossed the portal, the scenery changed.

- Oh, how i will miss this view. - His dream persona said as he looked over to his side towards the semi-island town he used to call heaven in his life out of this world.

With that, he imagined where he would place his body, definitely not an alleyway and definitely not at a... Why even bother when he can simply make himself have a home there.

And so he gave himself a home by stating this: - Universe i trust you with the location near the school. -

With that he created a door which he could us-s-s... - Give me a charm that allows me to turn a door into a portal back to here and reverse. - With that a small necklace appeared in his hand. The dream persona dropped it onto the grass, before going over his body and shaking himself awake.

There was an issue with his new power because he needed to always physically come to wake himself up. This was a thing he put as a restriction so there aren't failed attempts where he was getting sucked back into his body.

And so, as he woke himself back up, he sprung off the bench and looked at the door he created for himself. He went to the necklace and took it from the ground, before standing in the light coming from the doors.

His silhouette blocking the light, before fading into it.
