Protagonist: Li Mian, an overworked office drone with severe insomnia. His motto in life is, “If I can lie down, I’m not sitting.”
System: The Dream Overlord System. No quests, no face-slapping or showing off. All he has to do is sleep to enter the “Hall of Truth” and gain superpowers by challenging dream monsters.
The price: If he dies in a dream, he becomes a vegetable in real life. If he’s forcibly woken before getting enough sleep, he suffers a “nightmare backlash,” such as suddenly catching fire or suffering a humiliating public death on the spot.
Ability system: Everything from basic [Elemental Control] to conceptual-level [Causality Alteration] can be obtained in dreams.
