The world is on the verge of falling apart, just like a dream about to collapse.
Deep, bottomless rifts keep appearing throughout the world. Panic spreads, and talk of the apocalypse grows louder, while the authorities have no solution beyond continually imposing controls on designated areas.
Then, after a small, softly glowing round stone accidentally fell into a rift, it actually repaired it.
A turning point had appeared, but the authorities could only trace the little stone’s appearance to people waking from dreams. They knew nothing else, so they publicly offered to buy the stones at a high price and named them Dreamstones.
For a time, everyone dreamed of owning a Dreamstone and getting rich overnight. Yet very few people could actually produce one.
Jian Xin stared at the boxful of Dreamstones she owned, lost in thought. Suddenly, she could afford a seaside villa, but would she get taken away and dissected for this?
She wasn’t dissected, but from then on, Jian Xin lived at a research institute.
No one who obtained a Dreamstone remembered what they had dreamed. At most, they only had a vague feeling it had been a nightmare.
Jian Xin was no different, but she vaguely remembered being hunted the whole time, running nonstop, fleeing even as mountains collapsed and the earth split apart...
Dream creatures: Ha! Ha! You don’t remember a thing! We were the ones running and being hunted the whole time!
Everyone else: ???
