**Cloud Vein Sect – Midnight**
The moon was pale. The wind still. Disciples slept peacefully.
All except **two**.
Yueyin jolted up in bed, drenched in sweat. Her heart thudded violently.
> "Again…"
She had seen it — *the black spiral*…
A being **sitting on a throne made of silence**.
Eyes glowing, not with light… but **with absence**.
> "Why… why am I dreaming *his* dreams?"
She stood, threw on her cloak, and vanished into the night mist.

**Zeravon's Room – At the Same Time**
Zeravon lay on the floor — not on his bed. His eyes wide open, but **unmoving**.
His skin pale. Forehead sweating.
But the room was cold.
Unnaturally cold.

**Inside the Shared Dream**
Yueyin found herself standing on a broken platform suspended in space. No stars. No sky. Just… dark matter and whispers.
And in front of her…
**Him.**
Zeravon — no, not quite.
This version had no shadow. No presence. Just **power shaped into a man**.
He turned.
Eyes opened.
They were **rings** of inverted light, ever-spinning.
> "Do not watch me," the voice said, but **did not come from his lips.**
> "Do not remember this moment."
Yueyin tried to look away — but couldn't.
> "You… are Zeravon?" she whispered.
> *"I am what he sealed."*
> *"Oblivis."*

**Reality – Outside Zeravon's Room**
A hooded figure moved silently across the corridor.
> "Elder Lin was right… he's too dangerous."
The assassin slid a jade dagger from his robe.
It shimmered with **soul-erasing poison**.
> "He won't even feel it."
He opened the door — and entered.
---
**What He Saw Inside**
The room was no longer a room.
The walls had turned into **scrolls of screaming ink**.
The floor — a reflection of the void.
And in the center…
Zeravon floated slightly above the floor.
Arms limp. Eyes closed.
> *"What is… this?"*
The assassin moved forward… and struck.
**The dagger stopped.**
Mid-air.
No contact. No resistance.
Just… **frozen time**.
Then—
Zeravon's eyes opened.
**Pitch-black. No whites. No irises. No soul.**
> "...You sought to erase me?"
But it wasn't Zeravon's voice.
It was **deep**, like the weight of a planet collapsing.
The assassin tried to move — but his legs **cracked**. Bone split.
> "W-What… are you?!"
> "I am the reason why the stars fear memory."
> "You are the echo of a mistake."
The room folded. The floor vanished. The air twisted.
A **separate dimension** opened — just for him.
---
**Inside the Folded Space**
The assassin stood on **an endless black sea**.
And behind him, figures began to rise — twisted, silent beings that looked like **versions of himself**, all dying in different ways.
And ahead…
Zeravon stood — or something shaped like him.
> "You stabbed me…"
> "...but it is I who will erase *you*."
**One by one**, the assassin's bones began to pull out of his body — **cleanly**, without blood.
He couldn't scream.
His mouth was **stitched shut by invisible threads**.
---
**Back in Yueyin's Shared Dream**
Yueyin screamed.
> "ENOUGH!"
She looked up — and for one second, **Oblivis** looked directly at her.
Her forehead **burned**.
> "You are not meant to see this," the voice said.
Then—
She woke up.
---
**Zeravon's Room – Morning**
Zeravon sat on his bed, breathing heavily.
The floor normal. The walls normal.
No memory of the night.
He noticed blood on his fingertips.
> "...Did I get into a fight?"
He looked outside — and saw Elders running toward the dormitory hall.
He felt nothing.
---
**Far Away – Realm of Mirrors**
Nine figures stood again. The Council of Bound Realities.
One of them held a fragment of jade — the same dagger.
It had turned to **ash**.
> "He is awakening faster than we estimated," said one.
> "The second name… has begun to leak into the world."
> "Then seal him again!" another screamed.
The Elder of Silence shook his head.
> "We can't."
> "Because now… even **Oblivis dreams** of awakening."
