The Nightmare Weaver

If I could write the official handbook on how to avoid nightmares forever, I would. I'd even sell it at half price. Because seriously... who needs nightmares?! Life’s already hard enough to make grown men sob over late rent and existential crises. Sleep should be a reward. A pat on the back that says: "Hey champ, congrats on surviving another hell of a day. Now drift away while your dreams simulate the life you'll never have." But nope. Nightmares exist. And worse? My entire family manufactures them! I was supposed to escape that twisted fate. I had plans to join the Happydream Faction, spread serotonin, maybe craft a dream about a floating llama. But my mom—bless her manipulative soul—signed me up for Fearcraft Academy against my will. No permission. No banana milk bribe. Just pure betrayal. Now I’m stuck in this psychological theme park with other traumatized teens, being trained to craft terror. And don’t even get me started on our sponsors. A bunch of creepy entities from who-knows-where who stream human dreams like Netflix. They watch us. Rate us. Comment shit like: [ Delicious! This nightmare tasted like despair. I'm in love! ] And apparently, they pay in cosmic currency, depending on how disturbed your dreamer ends up. I mean, what?! Also, quick side note: My great ancestor, Magnus McTerror, once gave [redacted] a nightmare so vivid, it might’ve nudged mankind's global history toward disaster. So yeah. I’ve got historical trauma in my DNA. Yay me. Now toss in a roommate who laughs like he enjoys chaos for breakfast, teachers who casually talk about emotional collapse as homework, and a mandatory simulation test where we have to confront our greatest fear—or be demoted to the school’s fear kindergarten. I don't know how this is going to end. But if I have to learn how to weaponize memory, manipulate feelings, bend dream physics, and design nightmare avatars... Hahaha... I guess we'll both have to wait and see. . . . . . . . . . .

Summoner System in the World of Monster Tamers and Hunters

The world is normally filled with monster tamers or plainfolk. The difference between them is mana. The higher the mana reserves, the higher the potential to form a contract with even magical beasts. Of course, they can only hold one contract for one beast, regardless of their mana. The monster tamers are basically invincible because, depending on their mana reserves, they can merely redirect the damage done to their bodies to their familiars. Even death can be automatically transferred to their monster companion. In such a world, there are those who were born with mana but cannot form any contract with the monster. Unlike tamers, they don't have any support from any monster or have another life, but they have the ability to manipulate their mana to bring it out and form their own techniques. These people are called Hunters. The tamers and the hunters were always at odds with each other. Lin Fang is a pet shop owner who sells food for the monsters. He is a plainfolk who inherited the store after the death of his father. His mother remarried someone else and shifted to her new husband’s home after giving the house to Lin Fang. Lin Fang had an elder sister, a monster hunter who is one of the strongest individuals in Huaxi City, but left abroad to accept an offer from a company a decade ago. Since then, she has never returned and rarely speaks to him, even on the phone. After his graduation from high school, Lin Fang received a system as part of the inheritance. Using the system, he hoped to revive the store his family ran for years. Taking loans from putting the house on mortgage, alongside the pet food, Lin Fang started selling the monster eggs given for free by the system, hired a monster trainer to train the monsters, etc… After 7 years, he finally sells the 1000 eggs initially given by the system and unlocks the summoner system, becoming a summoner and a monster egg seller. On weekdays, he sells monster eggs to earn money, and on weekends, he becomes a summoner who controls an army of monsters to take down dungeons, fight a beast horde, explore the hidden worlds, and do much more. This is the story of Lin Fang, the only summoner in a world filled with monster tamers and Hunters.
