Shadow Slave
Chapter 358
The hospital staff had provided each of the newly Awakened with a small room at one of the underground levels of the complex, to have a place to rest and get accustomed to their new abilities while waiting for more permanent accommodations — if they were going to remain at the Academy, of course.
It was also a place they could take their families to talk and spend time together in privacy. Currently, many emotional reunions were taking place in similar rooms around Sunny's, made especially joyous and heartbreaking because the survivors of the Dreamer Army had spent long years on the Forgotten Shore.
They had gone through hell, indeed, but their loved ones in the real world had suffered a great deal as well.
...Not that Sunny would know anything about that. No one had been waiting for him to return, after all.
In any case, the room he had been provided with was sufficiently comfortable. There was an area for training, a desk with a pitcher of water and some snacks, a sofa, and even a bed.
None of the returned were going to sleep, of course. Not for a few days, at least.
At the very end of the field of shimmering runes, Sunny could now see a new string of symbols:
Gateway: —
Usually, the name of the Gateway that an Awakened had last used would be written there. This was their anchor in the Dream Realm.
Every time an Awakened fell asleep, they would be transported to the Gateway they were anchored to, spend some time in the Dream Realm — either as much as they wanted or as little as possible, only until their soul was ready to travel between worlds once again — and then go through that Gateway to wake up back in reality.
However, the Gateway of the Forgotten Shore had been destroyed. For that reason, every single survivor of the Dreamer Army now had no anchor in the Dream Realm. That didn't mean that they would remain in the waking world forever, though.
Rather, it meant that they were going to be transported to a random one as soon as they fell asleep, just like during their first journey into the land of nightmares. The prospect of being at the mercy of the Spell once more was nothing short of terrifying.
Especially for Sunny, who had the misfortune of always finding himself in only the most extreme of circumstances.
However, the situation wasn't really that bad.
There was a way for a newly Awakened to change their anchor without relying on chance. It was to acquire the services of a Saint, who would be able to take them to the Dream Realm without involving the Spell, appearing near the Saint's own anchor.
Of course, that anchor would most likely be situated in one of the human Citadels, allowing the Awakened to anchor themselves to a Gateway in human territory.
There were just a few dozen Saints alive across all of humanity, so for an average Awakened, their help was not easy to get.
