~DING!~
"Urghh... yeahh...?"
I stirred from my slumber, my body heavy with exhaustion. As I sat up, a sense of disorientation washed over me.
Memories of the intense battle against the five apparitions flooded my mind, yet there was a distinct gap, a void in my recollection.
I scanned the room, half-expecting to see the remnants of the fierce confrontation, but to my surprise, there were no enemies in sight.
"H-huh...?"
Confusion gnawed at me. What had just happened? How had I emerged victorious? I rubbed my temples, trying to piece together the fragmented memories that flickered at the edge of my consciousness.
It felt like a dream, but there was a lingering certainty that it had been more than just a figment of my imagination.
Then it struck me like a lightning bolt.
'The dream... was real?' The realization hit me with a mix of awe and trepidation.
