Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Lin felt like he was dreaming. It was a very, very long dream. In the dream, he entered an academy by the na of Dawn Academy. That academy was very magical, and was like a novel or a movie. It taught magic, swordsmanship, and various other amazing powers. After learning those abilities, they were sent to colonize a foreign world. It was a completely new world, and the humans of Earth had a position of absolute power there.

That dream was very long, and very realistic. He could even clearly rember the various people he got to know in the dream. The mysterious old dean, the carefree Song Junlang, the honest Cheng Ming, the jovial Chen Dao, and even that indifferent and unforgettable Gu Xiaoyue. They learned together, grew together, fought together and faced difficulties together, establishing rich friendships and feelings.

The dream was too realistic. It was so realistic that Xiao Lin did not feel like waking up. He wanted to stay in the dream forever, and stay with his friends in the dream. However, all dreams have to be woken up from, and even Xiao Lin himself had forgotten how far the dream had gone when he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was awake.

In a rented house that was not too large, the eye-piercing light caused Xiao Lin to narrow his eyes, which were unaccustod to it. He tiredly rubbed his eyes, stretching as he looked around his surroundings.

It was the room he had rented. After graduating, he worked at a real estate company. However, he was fired after two months. After that, he rented a cheap room and started the long process of finding a job.

For so reason, the room seed incredibly foreign to him, as if he had not seen it for a long ti. On the computer screen that was placed on the desk, was the image of a lost ga. He seed to rember continuously losing a few gas right before he slept, which was why he stopped playing out of anger. He had planned to take a short nap, but why did he feel like that was already a very long ti ago?

Xiao Lin stood there for a mont before shaking his head ruefully, thinking that he was just too tired. He glanced at his phone, and it was ten minutes past eleven. He suddenly felt incredulous; he had finished his gas at eleven, which ant he had only been asleep for ten minutes.

Such a long dream had only been ten minutes?

Xiao Lin suddenly rembered sothing, and imdiately had a thought. He rembered that, in his dream, that mysterious academy called Dawn Academy had given him a letter of admission at this ti. He was filled with anticipation, excitent, and happiness. He forgot to even put on his shoes, and jumped off the bed as he ran to the front door with his bare feet.

Bang!

Abruptly opening the door, there was no one in the dark corridor. There was only the sound of a mild breeze. He felt dissatisfied, and used his phone’s flashlight to sweep the corridor a few tis, checking basically every nook and corner. He did not even see a single piece of paper, let alone an admittance letter.

He returned to his room in disappointnt. Xiao Lin smiled at himself in self-mocking, silently cursing himself for his absurd notions. It had clearly just been a dream, and now he had to face reality after waking up. And the reality was, this was a world dictated by science. There was no Dawn Academy, no admission letter, no New World, and definitely not magic and swordsmanship.

It was ti to sleep; he still needed to continue looking for a job the next day.

Xiao Lin consoled himself before switching off the computer and the lights. He lay back down on the bed. In his groggy head, he suddenly had a mont of doubt. Could such a realistic dream just be a dream?

After waking up the next day, Xiao Lin had already thrown the confusion from the last night to the back of his head. He did not want to dwell in daydreams the whole day. After all, he was being pressured to look for a job. Xiao Lin’s family was very average, and he had spent too much of his family’s money in his life. He definitely did not want to continue being a freeloader after graduating.

After a few days of hard work, Xiao Lin finally found a passable job. Of course, the job was only passable because his expectations were very low. Xiao Lin knew very well that his resu was not the best. He went to a low-tier school and had a low-tier specialization, and he did not know how to talk or flatter others. So, even though it was a job that only paid him over two thousand a month, he only needed to sit in the office every day, so it was quite comfortable.

After that, Xiao Lin’s life went back to normal. He had always been an ordinary and average person. There was joy to that life, working nine to five every day. Even though the salary was not high and there was very little room for advancent, the steady life gave him more free ti to read, ga, and move about during the weekends.

Xiao Lin’s days went by quite comfortably, and that dream those nights ago had been completely tossed aside by him. Of course, there were the occasional spices added into the peaceful life. For instance, in the Spring, there were suddenly a few days straight of torrential rains, causing everyone on Earth to discuss it. Many teorologists comnted on the abnormality of the situation.

Xiao Lin even saw many rumors on so forums on the Internet. There were talks about monsters appearing in the Pacific Ocean, and even people who claid that the rain was a sign of Poseidon’s return, or even Atlantis resurfacing. There were even talks about it being the end of the world. All sorts of news spread to every corner of the Internet.

At that mont, Xiao Lin once again thought about that realistic dream. Even though it was a long ti ago, he could still rember that Atlantis and Poseidon seed to have appeared in the dream. His ordinary life finally had sothing different to it, and Xiao Lin could feel so form of anticipation, even though he did not know what he was anticipating.

Xiao Lin started to pay attention to the news and reports related to the matter, but the rain had continued for a week or so before it stopped, and the governnt seed to have suppressed news regarding the matter. After that, all of the forums were wiped clean. Anything to do with mythology or the end of the world seed to all disappear.

There were no legends, and no apocalypse. Xiao Lin’s days returned to normalcy, and he felt disappointed again. However, after the disappointnt, he still continued with his life. After the incident, his luck seed quite good. Due to so changes in his company, he, who had always maintained a low profile, was promoted, and his salary increased by quite a bit.

If no surprises happened, then Xiao Lin would continue with his life like that. After a few years, when he had more money, he would find another ordinary woman who was like him. That woman did not need to be that pretty, and he did not even need to like her that much.. As long as she was a good person and nice to get along with, then the two of them would spend their lives together.
