I dreamed of finding a drenched catgirl on a cold, rainy night.
I dreamed of placing a heart into the empty cavity of a machine, amid the ruins of a fallen civilization.
I dreamed of being an exiled prince, fighting the tide of bugs across the universe for her sake.
I dreamed of being a god-slaying hero, and laughing as I welcomed the world’s fear because of her.
I dreamed of trillions of shattered dreams. I took part, I changed them, I bore witness.
Later, they proclaimed my names:
The slumbering ruler of the Purple Mist Dreamscape;
The Immortal Venerable who commands the powers of reality and illusion;
The traveler of myriad worlds, beyond the bounds of time and space;
The immortal Dao body, united across three lifetimes;
The master of karmic inspiration;
The purple qi at the root of all existence.
I tried my best to write the story in my heart, I hope everyone likes it. If you have any questions, please point them out and I will make corrections as appropriate.
