Chereads / The Fate Forgers / Chapter 16 - Odd Dream

Chapter 16 - Odd Dream

After Sameer left Dylan's room, Dylan continued to watch the second episode. After a short while, drowsiness crept in, to control his drowsiness he started to drink his cold coffee.

Despite the fact that the second episode failed to pique his interest, Dylan pressed on, simply because he had nothing else to occupy his time with.

As the second episode drew to a close, Dylan found himself thoroughly uninterested, he is always like this, he himself is uncertain about his preferences. Dylan had a tendency to sporadically like certain things, while other times, he remained completely disinterested.

With his coffee halfway finished, Dylan strolled toward his window and watched the radiant sunny sky. He continued to drink his coffee while gazing at the sky before him.

In no time at all, half an hour slipped by, and Dylan's coffee came to an end. Upon noticing its depletion, he walked away from the window, placed the mug on the table, and finding himself nothing to do, he decided to go to sleep.

Just a few minutes after he went to sleep, Dylan began to feel a slight chill all over his body. At first, he disregarded the sensation, but before long, the coldness intensified, Due to this cold, he was not able to sleep anymore, so he woke up and thought his AC was not working properly.

However, when his eye focused on the surroundings, he found himself enveloped in a dark void, devoid of any light. Despite this, for unknown reasons he could still perceive the vastness and emptiness of the space around him.

Suddenly, the ground beneath him gave way, and he began to fall down. He continued falling through the void for a period of time until, unexpectedly, the void underwent a transformation. Gradually, it transformed into a bright sunny sky, and Dylan discovered himself lying on a grassy field, gazing at the sky above. Regrettably, this transformation was short-lived. From the corner of his eye, Dylan witnessed the grassy plain was suddenly engulfed in flames.

In the blink of an eye, the fire consumed the entire expanse, reducing the once-beautiful location to ashes.

As the flames engulfed Dylan with the grassy plain, he abruptly awoke on his bed, his eyes were opened wide, and when he focused his vision on the surrounding he found himself back in his room.

"That was such an odd dream," he mused.

Swinging his legs over the bed's edge, he peered out the window, realizing it was already nighttime.

Dylan lazily check his phone, he saw that it was 7:30 pm. With a sigh, he left his room and headed down the hallway, encountering Sameer on the way.

"Sir, dinner is ready. Would you like to partake?" Sameer inquired.

"Yes, please bring my food," Dylan responded.

"Sameer had father and mother come back?" Dylan asked, curious.

"Sir, they'll be joining you shortly for dinner," Sameer reassured.

"Alright." With that, Dylan proceeded toward the dining area.

Taking his seat at the table, Dylan watched as Sameer skillfully placed the dishes before him, serving the meal meticulously.

As Dylan began to eat, a middle-aged couple entered the dining room and sat on the table.

Upon witnessing them, Sameer also commenced serving them dinner.

The women addressed Dylan, "Dylan, we've arrived at the perfect moment, not late for dinner."

Dylan replied, "Yes, mother, I began eating just a few minutes ago." After saying this, Dylan resumed eating.

When he was halfway through his meal, he inquired, "Father, have you completed your work?"

His father responded, "Yes, due to certain individuals within the Red Jewelry group, we need to offer them a higher share value for their shares to make the purchase."

Dylan reacted with an "Oh!"

Seeing him mother advised him, "Dylan, you need to start learning how to manage the business with your father, since you don't have much to do daily."

He said, "I'll consider it."

His father also added, "Indeed, you're consistently at home these days. If you're uninterested in the business, you should find something to engage in."

Dylan promised, "Yes, father, I'll think about it."

He had contemplated this previously but hadn't discovered something that piqued his interest. His parents reiterated the importance of taking action instead of idly staying at home, all while they finished dinner.

After finishing his dinner, Dylan headed towards his room, but his mother halted him, saying, "Dylan, I'll repeat it for you again. You're always at home. If you wish, spend some time learning about the business from your father."

Dylan replied, "Alright, mother," and proceeded to head towards his room.

Upon witnessing Dylan's back, his mother could only let out a sigh and utter, "this child."

It was 11 pm, and Siara was engrossed in her video project, one she had dedicated an entire week to make. She tirelessly worked on the editing until it was ready, finally uploading it to her channel.

Initially, she found joy in creating videos that delved into the comprehensive storylines and characters of video games. At the outset, she relished the opportunity to engage with fellow video game plot enthusiasts.

However, her enthusiasm waned over time, leading her to contemplate launching a new channel where she would not reveal her face.

This shift came as a response to the overwhelming presence of comments about her appearance, a stark contrast to her initial enjoyment of such remarks. In the beginning, she appreciated the compliments about her looks, but gradually, these comments became an unwitting staple across all her videos. What once pleased her, now it irritates her, especially since they seemed to accompany all her videos without her realizing it. Despite scaling back on her makeup, the situation remained unchanged. Notably, her channel had struggled to gain traction from the start.

"I should stop uploading videos for a while and take some rest to refresh my mind."

As she contemplated shutting down YouTube for the night and preparing to sleep, she unexpectedly came across the first episode of EE Production House new web series.

Previously, she had disregarded it due to her constant video production commitments. However, on this particular day, she opted to watch it as a means of rejuvenating her mind.
