As I pondered this unsettling thought, another crucial idea suddenly came to mind...
Time?
What about the time?
I clearly recalled the time I saw in the dream.
If I check the current time and compare it to the dream time, I might be able to figure out what's going on or learn something important.
With a sense of urgency, I looked at my smartwatch that could give me the current time.
Name: Michael Frostburne
Total Rules Broken: 1
Current Rules Broken: 0
Time: 9 p.m.
...
Ehh?
I slept for nine hours?
That's unbelievable...
I didn't expect the night to start while I was asleep...
So, that's it.
This proves it was just a dream.
But still, it's hard to believe...
I have no choice but to move on.
"Gruuuu~"
Just then, a rumble came from my stomach, signaling that I was a bit hungry.
