Dreamless Sleep

Fyrel, a 20-year-old NEET content with his stagnant life of gaming and anime, stumbles upon a glitch in a fantasy RPG—one that drags him into the very world he once ignored. When he awakens in a village straight out of the game, he’s no longer the overpowered player but a ragged, powerless NPC. With no skills or allies. The local elder Sukatsu just crowned him the Sleeping Prophet—a title that comes with a face-melting mask and a cult following. But the real question? Can a lazy NEET out-snark the gods? ---

アルファ：敵の娘を手に入れる ###### 警告！ -ダークロマンス- 「なぜ傷跡があるの？」突然、アイリスは話題を変え、ケインの目を見つめながら言った。彼女は依然として彼の袖にしがみついていた。 「お前の父親がつけたんだ」とケインは答えた。アイリスが目覚めた時、この会話を覚えていないだろうと思った。 「とても痛かったでしょうね」 「ああ、痛かった」 「傷跡は治りますか？」 「治らないと思う」 夜は確かに人を脆弱にし、昼間なら決して認めないようなことを口にさせる。暗闇は心を柔らかくする。 「残念ね。あなたは温かい魂を持っているのに」アイリスは少し眉をひそめた。 「俺にはもう魂なんてない」彼は民の自由のために魂を売り渡したのだ。今の彼には何も残っていない。 「いいえ、あなたには魂があります。でも、とても苦しんでいる」アイリスは瞬きをした。「あなたの獣が苦しんでいる。たくさんの傷跡があるわ」 「俺の傷跡は顔にあるだけだ」 アイリスは弱々しく首を振った。「顔のことを言っているんじゃありません。魂のことを言っているんです。残念ですが、あなたはとても苦しんでいる...私の父と兄があなたにしたことは、きっととても辛かったはず...」 そして、アイリスは目を閉じ、眠りについた。 ====================== 彼女は、彼の家族を殺し、パックを焼き払い、民を奴隷にしたアルファの娘だった。 今、彼は10年間奴隷として扱われ、誰も想像できないような生活、地獄のような生活を送った後、復讐を遂げた。 10年後、アルファ・ケインは、彼の民の生活を死よりも悲惨なものにしたアルファを倒し、支配権を奪った。 今こそ、アルファの子供たちに、父親のしたことの報いを受けさせる時だった。 ただし... アイリスは劣等種で、父親とはまったく違う人物だった。

Title: A bus full of sleeping school girls. In the haunting quiet of a moonlit night, four friends—Lax, Jing, Bling, and Jazz—find themselves stranded on a lonely, forested road after a casual walk turns into a chilling journey. Hoping to reach home before dawn, they encounter a mysterious old man with a broken-down car at the very spot where, years ago, a school bus full of sleeping girls and their driver tragically crashed. As they help the old man with his car, subtle supernatural events begin to unfold: a missing screwdriver, ghostly hands, and the eerie feeling that something is watching them from the darkness. The friends’ bond is tested as fear and suspicion grow. When the truth behind the old man and the cursed road comes to light—linked to the legend of the sleeping school bus and the ghostly mechanic crushed beneath it—their night turns into a desperate fight for survival. Facing betrayal, sacrifice, and the terror of being hunted by a vengeful spirit, the boys must rely on their wits, courage, and friendship to escape the cycle of tragedy that has claimed so many before them. But as dawn comes and they believe they are safe, the real nightmare begins anew—blurring the line between legend and reality. A story of friendship, regret, and the supernatural, "The Sleeping Bus Incident" is a suspenseful tale where every shadow hides a secret and every choice can mean life or death.

``` “Kenapa kamu punya bekas luka?” Tiba-tiba, Iris mengubah topik, saat ia menatap mata Cane. Ia masih mencengkeram lengan bajunya. “Ayahmu yang memberi,” jawab Cane. Ia berpikir, Iris tidak akan mengingat percakapan ini ketika dia terbangun. “Itu pasti sangat menyakitkan.” “Iya.” “Apakah bekas lukanya bisa sembuh?” “Kurasa tidak.” Memang malam bisa membuatmu rentan dan membiarkanmu mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak akan pernah kamu akui saat terang. Kegelapan melunakkan hatimu. “Sayang sekali. Kamu memiliki jiwa yang hangat.” Iris mengerutkan keningnya sedikit. “Aku tidak lagi memiliki jiwa.” Ia telah menjual jiwanya demi kebebasan orang-orangnya. Kini tidak ada yang tersisa darinya. “Ada, kamu punya, tetapi kamu sedang menderita.” Iris berkedip. “Binatang buasmu sedang menderita. Kamu memiliki begitu banyak bekas luka.” “Bekas luka yang aku punya hanya di wajah.” Iris menggelengkan kepalanya dengan lemah. “Aku tidak berbicara tentang wajahmu. Aku berbicara tentang jiwamu. Sayang sekali, kamu sangat menderita… apa yang ayah dan saudaraku lakukan padamu pasti menyakitkan...” Dan setelah itu, Iris menutup matanya dan tertidur. ====================== Dia adalah anak perempuan dari seorang alfa yang telah membunuh keluarganya, membakar kawanan dan juga menjadikan orang-orangnya sebagai budak. Kini, setelah sepuluh tahun diperlakukan sebagai budak, ia berhasil membalas dendam dan menjalani kehidupan yang tak pernah dibayangkan siapapun. Kehidupan mirip neraka. Dan sepuluh tahun kemudian, Alpha Cane berhasil mengambil alih dan membunuh alfa yang telah membuat kehidupan orang-orangnya lebih buruk dari kematian. Saatnya bagi dia untuk membuat anak-anak alfa tersebut membayar untuk apa yang telah ayah mereka perbuat. Hanya saja… Iris adalah anak yang lemah dan dia sangat berbeda dari ayahnya. ```

The Dimensional Dream – A Sleepless Man's Journey Through Time What if sleep wasn’t an escape—but a curse? Asahi is The Sleepless Man. Every time he closes his eyes, he’s dragged into a time-looping nightmare, forced to relive moments that twist his reality. His future self guides him, but with each loop, the truth gets darker. What is this dimension? Why is he trapped? And what happens if he finally gives in to sleep? Think Steins;Gate’s mind games, Re:Zero’s suffering, but deeper, darker, and more psychological.

What is a dream?Is it a childish story we have in our sleep? A message from oursubconscious or a warning we should heed?

I thought nothing of my past until me and my mother abruptly began moving into a completely different state. I can't believe it all was a lie. Sometimes you have to take someone else's job and do it for them.

Soujirou, 23, was suffering from a terminal illness, simply waiting to die. His only relief came from his favorite web novel and his love for the supernatural world, which allowed him a little happiness in an otherwise bleak life. But even that small comfort eventually disappointed him, as he waited in vain for the story to improve. Fed up and tired—of the novel, of his life—he went to sleep, thinking that the next time he woke up, he would find another story to lose himself in. But he never woke up. Instead, he died in his sleep… and was reborn with strange eyes, in the kind of supernatural world he had always fantasized about.

For James Thorne, an orphan at the desolate Saint Ursa's, logic is survival. He trusts his sharp mind more than the treacherous pull of emotion, his detachment a carefully built shield.

With only a stray cat named Fangtail at his side, he begins a secret investigation into the strange forgettings haunting the orphanage. He's determined to find a rational explanation-and to reclaim whatever has been stolen from him. But at Saint Ursa's, where memory fades like breath on glass,the truth he seeks may prove a deeper darkness than any mere shadow of the night.

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

The book he wrote wasn't some ordinary book, nor was he an ordinary person. He holds the ability to see the future unknowingly and writes it down as great stories.  Little did he know, he would wake up in a different body in a world where he finds out the characters in his book…A world of magic, swords and monsters.  'Wait, this isn't a world from my novel. It's a real world and the novel is just my prediction of some people just like the guardian said. So I will just enjoy the show as an audience and leave after the story ends. I have a whole new world to discover in front of me.' But what awaits him was something he could never imagine. In front of the world, in front of the whole universe, his assumption was just a grind of sand. The truth of the world made him rethink his life and the life he lived back in another world.  Viktor North, the author, finds himself in the middle of the whole universe where he was nothing but an extra later in his life as he kept living. An extra who was abandoned by his mother, his brother who was an elemental guardian and also a demigod, his race and the God.  'But I prefer to sleep than going against these unwanted people and unwanted problems. I want to sleep. I just want to shut my eyes and sleep under my warm blanket, probably forever if it's possible.' This is the story of an author, a grand magician, a guardian who somehow became a god and the only thing he could think of was sleep.  He is the definition of what a 'Shut-in' is. ... ...
