Her vision went black, and her consciousness grew heavy as she woke from the dream.
Inside the tent, Mia, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight. Her gaze swept across the surroundings, but her expression remained calm and composed.
She had studied the zombies of Rancho Cucamonga. She knew exactly what this was—Zombie King Nightmare's eerie ability: Dream Invasion.
"Even if I'm in the shelter right now, that doesn't mean this is real."
Mia assessed the situation in her mind. Without hesitation, she drew her tachi and made a shallow cut on her arm. A thin line of crimson blood welled up from the wound.
Other than that, nothing happened.
Just as she expected…
The pain still felt off.
She was still inside the dream.
"What a boring little trick..."
Mia muttered to herself, her sharp eyes scanning the tent.
"Come out. I know you're in my dream."
The moment she spoke, a shadowy figure materialized inside the tent.
