A in field filled with green grass and beautiful flowers.
I stood in middle of such ce gazing at the Pendragon barony not so far away. It was a ce filled with happiness, themoners were engaged in their daily work in the fields and the children were running around with smile on their face.
There were no soul that went hungry in the pendragon barony. Seeing this ce, a smile rose on my face.
But soon my soundings changed.
A deste field stretched before me, its once vibrant green grass now withered and lifeless. The air was heavy with an eerie silence, devoid of the joyfulughter and bustling activities that once filled this ce. In the distance loomed the Pendragon barony, a haunting sight against the gray sky.
As I stood there, an overwhelming sense of foreboding gripped my heart. The tranquility of this once thrivingnd was shattered by a sinister force.
A colossal dragon emerged from the shadows, its scales a deep, blood-red hue that glimmered with malevolence.
-Roaaar!!!
Its immense body hovered ominously in the air as it let out an ear-splitting roar, reverberating through the barrenndscape.
Without warning, the dragon unleashed its wrath upon the Pendragon barony. Its gaping maw opened wide, spewing forth torrents of crimson mes that devoured everything in their path. The unsuspecting knights were helpless, unable to react in time. The fire dragon''s ferocious breath rained down from the heavens, transforming the entire barony into a zing inferno.
The mes spread with terrifying speed, consuming all in their wake. The once-thriving fields, teeming with abundant crops, were reduced to charred remnants. The hardworking farmers and carefree children, who had once painted this ce with their infectious smiles, now became fuel for the raging ze. Even the diligent citizens, engrossed in their tasks, found themselves engulfed by the merciless fire.
Every direction I turned, a sea of crimson engulfed my vision. Desperation gripped my soul as I tried to flee, but my legs were shackled, rooted to the scorched earth. A tortured cry escaped my lips, but the sound was stolen by the merciless winds.
And then, I saw them—my father, a valiant warrior wielding a sword; my mother, cradling my newborn sibling; the loyal butler and maids who served the Pendragons; and the citizens, all approaching me with grotesque mes devouring their very existence.
Their agonized figures drew nearer, their burning bodies casting flickering shadows upon the charredndscape. The deafening roar of the colossal dragon echoed behind them, a relentless reminder of the impending doom. In an instant, the monstrous creature materialized before my eyes, its gaping maw poised to swallow me whole.
"Nooooo!" I screamed, the sheer terror threatening to consume me. And then, mercifully, I awoke.

My body was drenched in sweat, trembling uncontrobly as the remnants of the nightmare clung to my psyche. It took several moments to realize it was just a dream—a nightmare that held me captive in its twisted clutches.
With a deep breath, I attempted to calm my rattled nerves. But as I steadied myself, I noticed an unsettling presence invaded my room, like a specter shrouded in darkness.
A man, d in a long ck coat, stood before me. His face obscured by the night''s shadows, he exuded an aura of malevolence that sent shivers down my spine.
"F*ck!" In a moment of panicked instinct, I seized a nearby ss and hurled it at the figure.
To my astonishment, he caught the ss with ease, his movements eerily graceful. Slowly, he approached the table, cing the ss upon it before illuminating the room with the glow of a mana stone-powered bulb.
Blinking away the residual blur, I beheld the figure before me.
"Professor... Joshua?"
The realization struck me, and a mix of relief and confusion washed over me.
It was then that I noticed the time.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
3:32 AM.
"F*ck me."
I was meant to be at the training grounds by 3:00 AM to train with Professor Joshua, but now it was already 3:32. My heart sank as I realized I had overslept without any notice that the professor hade to my dormitory himself.
''He is furious.''
I muttered under my breath. There was nothing worse than making professor Joshua furious!
Without wasting another moment, I swiftly rose from the bed and bowed deeply, my voice filled with fake remorse.
"I am truly sorry, Professor Joshua. I waspletely exhausted yesterday, and I overslept. I will make it to the training grounds in five minutes—"
"Rest for today,"
he interrupted, his voice surprisingly calm. Before I could utter another word, he turned and walked out of my room, leaving me in a state of bewilderment and relief.

As Professor Joshua stepped out of Eren''s room, he hesitated for a moment and nced back.
Something troubled him deeply about the sight he had just witnessed.
Eren, shaken and drenched in sweat, seemed to have endured a nightmarish ordeal. His face contorted with fear, and the sheer terror he disyed left an indelible mark on Professor Joshua''s mind.
"What could have inflicted such terror upon a fourteen-year-old boy?" he pondered, his thoughts swirling with concern. He couldn''t fathom the horrors Eren had experienced, but he knew it must have been something that he couldn''t imagine.
His face was distorted and he seemed very scared for some reason.
"He was in so much pain," Professor Joshua whispered to himself, a mixture of sympathy and confusion tugging at his heartstrings.
Deeply troubled, Professor Joshua decided it was best to grant Eren respite for the day.
"Poor kid," he muttered, realizing the weight of the nightmares Eren carried with him.
