[Folklore: Dreamcatcher]

The spider silk will capture the evil Magic Element for you.

The feathers will carry you away from the terrifying Nightmare.

Weave the net of dreams, and thus, you will be undisturbed by Nightmares, obtaining peaceful sleep.

But be very cautious.

When those amorphous Nightmares gain the appearance of humans, this fragile net can no longer obstruct them, instead, it becomes a series of bright beacons.

’Dreamcatchers and Nightmares...’

Hero nodded slightly as he read about the customs prevalent in Border villages and even cities.

’That’s it!’

In villages, within the expanse of cities, the dreams of people interlace in an illusory world, weaving a bubble-like Dreamrealm.

It is both illusory and real, not existing on the physical plane, yet a place that can indeed be reached.

With special Magic or Magic Potions, anyone can visit there.

But this world has thick walls constructed from the collective unconsciousness, rejecting any foreign invasion.

However, even the strongest barriers, once eroded from within, can be easily reduced to ashes.

’Nightmares, Magic Creatures that feed on human fear, panic, confusion, and other negative emotions, will trap their victims in Nightmares until they perish.’

Hero swallowed hard as he read the text in the book.

’Because they absorb human knowledge from dreams, powerful Nightmares possess wisdom comparable to that of a Sage.’

’The appearance of Nightmares is amorphous, reading human fear and transforming into what one fears the most.’

Grandpa’s notes were written alongside.

’In the past, before human settlements had established barriers in the Dreamrealm, countless people became prey to Nightmares, hence the custom of Dreamcatchers gradually spread.’

’The venom of a Dreamless Spider can cause a death as peaceful as sleep, but their silk has the effect of Purify Spirit and solidify Soul.’

’The feathers of an Illusory Specter Bird, as a harmless Magic Creature that dilutes its own existence, can also have a similar effect of reducing one’s presence.’

’These two combined can indeed free people from common Nightmare disturbances.’

’But if just ordinary feathers and silk are used, forming the appearance without substance, then they likely won’t have any effect.’

’On the other hand, when such a custom spreads, it also means that human civilization has unconsciously raised a resistance against Nightmares.’

’When people reach a consensus, the collective unconsciousness will condense a strong barrier in the Dreamrealm to resist the invasion of Nightmares.’

’Although ordinary Dreamcatchers are ineffective, when they become widespread as a custom and a symbol, they do indeed have a significant effect.’

’The development of folklore is indeed interesting.’

’Legend has it, there are Nightmares that have Humanoid forms, indistinguishable from humans.’

’But the records of such Magic Creatures are scarce, and if they truly exist, it’s unknown how many victims they would claim.’

’So perhaps this is just a cautionary element added to prevent the custom from being neglected over time, keeping people in fear and awe.’

Hero let out a sigh of relief upon reading this.

Could this Human Transformation Potion be something the Nightmares devised to invade the human domain?

Although Hero didn’t know if his speculation was correct, to the Dream Demons blocked outside the city, this Inches Away vast Dreamrealm must be as tempting as a world of candy to a child.

If one could enter and indulge to their heart’s content, then no price would be too great to pay.

But anyway, since the Border and Kingdom still exist like this, it proves that the invasion of Nightmares hasn’t succeeded.

After all, the creator of that potion probably never imagined that their painstakingly crafted achievement would have such a formula.

It’s cunning, for sure, but overlooked one basic premise.

To create a Transformation Potion that wouldn’t alert humans, one would need to first gain help from humans, and to get help from humans, one must not alert them.

Sometimes, it’s just like that.

Hero nodded deeply as if affirming a belief.

Having unraveled the doubts in her mind, she contentedly set down the book, laid down on the bench, and her breathing slowly steadied with the gentle rocking.

[Nightmare Rank4-7]

An amorphous Half-spiritual Monster.

Feeding on human fear, panic, confusion, and other negative emotions, it traps its victims in Nightmares until they die.

Because it absorbs human knowledge from dreams, a powerful Nightmare has wisdom on par with a Sage.

When encountering a Nightmare outside of dreams, it reads human fear and transforms into the very thing one fears the most.

Seizing the opportunity of wavering in the opponent’s Spirit and the gap in the Soul, it launches an attack on the Spirit, tearing the prey’s Soul apart and Swallowing it.

But if one has absolutely no fear in their heart, they might defeat it easily.

But does such a person truly exist?

And could there be something that even Nightmares themselves fear?

Legendary Monk: Sleeping Arhat’s small tactic against Nightmares

Nightmares? Quite simple, first you sleep, and if you don’t dream while asleep, it can’t invade you or read your thoughts.

Then you pretend to talk in your sleep, casually chant a few Holy Words, or simply throw a Fist at it, and the other side is gone.
