Vivid Vice

What if the worlds you built in your mind weren’t just an escape but a mirror reflecting your deepest fears, desires, and truths? This series is more than fiction—it's rooted in reality, inspired by the mind of a dreamer whose maladaptive daydreaming blurs the line between fantasy and truth. Based on real experiences, it explores how vivid inner worlds become both sanctuary and prison, offering readers an intimate glimpse into a struggle rarely spoken about. In the early chapters, the dreamer’s fractured psyche takes center stage, as their imagined realms intertwine with their waking life. Each chapter unravels complex characters and high-stakes conflicts born from their mind, yet eerily reflective of the dreamer’s own battles with morality, fear, and control. As the dreamer’s visions grow darker and harder to contain, the story builds toward a chilling realization: the fantasies we cling to for solace might demand a price we never anticipated. This series is a gripping exploration of imagination’s power to shape reality, reminding readers that the most profound stories are often the ones we live ourselves.

I got pulled into the game that I’d dominated for five whole seasons, holding the number one leaderboard spot without a break since launch. How many people could say they’d pulled off a feat like that? A Free-to-Play player ruling a Pay-to-Win game? Probably just me. Eventually, it all got stale, and I decided to quit. But one night, while I was sleeping, I suddenly found myself inside the game, Astral Point, where the Administrator asked me to beat the game for real—not just from behind a computer screen. So, I agreed to the request, thinking it was all just a vivid dream. But as it turned out, none of it was a dream. I’m actually here, in the world of Astral Point, facing off against players from other dimensions who call themselves the Pay-to-Win (newbies).
