The name Strohemberg represents just an ordinary, ordinary person. He was born in an ordinary family, had an ordinary growth experience, and died of a chronic disease. Even the ghost king who ruled his hometown and his life was an unknown little player. He acted as the second mayor in the local area and managed the local ghosts. Don't interfere in any living person's affairs. After Strohmberg died of illness, he continued to live peacefully in his hometown as a ghost, and even continued his job as a salesman.

It was a peaceful and quiet place, completely different from the future world I knew.

It was more like the world that the man in the video longed for. The living and the dead coexist. Death does not separate people, but allows them to coexist in another form.

Some people are content with the tranquility there, while others are ready to take risks and choose to go out for adventure.

That place is not closed, but for the future world ruled by the ghost king, long-distance travel often means risks.

Strohelmberg belongs to the former group. He has no desire to venture elsewhere, but he also has no deep gratitude for the city in which he lives. The tranquility of his hometown made him accustomed to it. The harsh living environment seen on TV is too far away. Even if a stranger comes, is grateful for his hometown, loves his hometown from the bottom of his heart, and tells him what he has seen and heard, such horrific things are still too far away for Stehelmberg.

What breaks this ordinary and monotonous life is a monster from outside.

Strohmberg didn't know the monster's name or where it came from. He only remembered that one day, dark clouds covered the sun. The monster was like a heavy dark cloud, covering the entire city. Because the monster's huge body blocked the sun, Strohelmberg initially thought it was really just a dark cloud. The wind howled, and the sky suddenly turned black, accompanied by loud rumblings, like a thunderstorm suddenly coming.

When the reddish-brown feathers hit the road and flattened the cars on the road, Strohelmberg was shocked to realize that something was wrong.

A monster that only appears on TV news appears in front of us.

No army, no weapon can deal with such a monster. Their ghost king cannot resist such a monster.

In the blink of an eye, the city rose from the ground, was chopped into pieces, and fell like a rain of blood.

Stehelmberg narrowly escaped the first wave of attacks and escaped from the city. The neighboring city that he expected to be his sanctuary turned into ruins long ago.

The monster went all the way south, destroying all the cities on its path. No one, no ghost king, could stop it.

Strohelmberg found a resettlement site for the victims, where he waited anxiously for his possible complete death.

But what he waited for was the tracking report of the monster in the news.

After attacking eleven large and small cities, the monster was eliminated near the capital by the two ghost kings in the capital.

I can see scenes of celebration in Strhelmberg’s memory. People in the entire resettlement site for the victims were cheering, cheering for the Ghost King. On the TV, people from the capital and other cities were cheering.

Amidst the cheers, some people were killed by the Ghost King on the spot, but no one protested or feared. They were like crazed sacrificers. Only the murdered person showed a shocked and desperate face in the camera.

Strohelmberg had never hated the Ghost King, and after that incident, he changed his view.

He was no longer content with being an ordinary ghost. He decided to become the strongest ghost king to protect himself, his family, and his hometown.

But as an ordinary person in life and after death, he has no potential to become the King of Ghosts.

Through his memory, I saw the experiences of the two ghost kings in the capital. They were all brutal murderers, both in life and in death. They thus gained the fear of the living and turned it into power.

Strohelmberg could not be a cruel executioner, but he could look for similar people. He wanted to forge an identity to make himself stronger.

This is the beginning of Dream Weaver.

These memories make me shudder.

I suddenly realized that the monsters I had seen before would be natural disasters to the future world. They are like the ghost king to the real world. Perhaps the ghost king was born in order to resist those monsters - to kill his own compatriots in a cruel way to gain strength, and then use this to kill the enemy and protect more compatriots.

I also thought of an even crueler possibility.

Perhaps God in the future will choose to counterattack the past and advance the rule of the Ghost King in order to eliminate that kind of monster in advance.

In the vague history, monsters, ghosts, spirits, and people with abilities... were born one after another, but there is no precise record. It is possible that this vague history is the past that has been tampered with.

I have encountered Nian beasts, which are completely different from espers, ghosts and spirits.

I've seen other monsters in Aoba's videos and dreams.

And that little Behemoth-shaped monster that Ye Qing caught!

I have a headache thinking about it. These memories overlap with those of the Dream Weaver.

I was sorting through his subsequent memories in a daze.

Through his footsteps I saw many victims and many perpetrators - the ghost king or the living person before he became the ghost king. Dream Weaver combines many such cases. He strives to find the most powerful horror legend and gradually loses himself.

I seem to have lost myself in these memories.

It wasn't until the Dream Weaver crashed into a sudden entrance to a different space that I suddenly woke up.

Reaching the past world, the Dream Weaver seemed to ascend to heaven. His originally weak strength became extremely powerful here. He couldn't find the Ghost King here either. So, he began to create those horror stories himself, and was no longer satisfied with simply searching and collecting.

He became more confused and less self-conscious.

But he also found his own way of survival. The horror stories he created and spread always provided him with strength in bits and pieces.

What caught me off guard was that the ghost in costume appeared in front of the dream weaver.

Without unnecessary communication, Dream Weaver accepted the new order and opened his own Dream Weaver stores all over the world.

They want to find and control people with abilities.

Dream Weaver was not that interested in this and just obeyed the strong man's orders.

I soon saw the figures of Gui Yu, Qi Bai and Shouzi in his memory.

He didn't take any unnecessary actions, he just followed the steps and reported his findings.

What made him change his mind was the video of a period of time before the man was devoured.

As if he had received a call from somewhere, he came up with the idea of ​​​​devouring those with abilities. The thin man immediately appeared in his consciousness.

What happened next was exactly what I had discovered earlier.
