In a blue, dimly lit room, there was Kai, alone. Since the dream game took him again. The room looked empty, and it was where he ended the last time.
A screen appeared in front of his eyes, and it gave him a task.

'Aww, damn, I'm here again; that's bad for me.' Kai said, his eyes closed while the screen was playing.
"This thing is driving me nuts. What's up with this place anyway? It's kind of scary to me, even though blue isn't scary." Kai muttered while he opened his eyes and gulped.
"What's this? Is this supposed to be allowed, dammit?" Kai said as he zoomed the screen closer.

__SYSTEM—NOTIFICATION___
__Task—you are supposed to defeat a low-level wolf demon.
__Time—180 minutes.
NOTE:⟩ Make this mission a success; if you don't, you'll face the wrath of the Dream Game.

"The hell, how am I even supposed to kill that thing? I don't know it; everywhere it's dark. Are there such animals over here?" He asked himself, holding his head as he suffered a brain torture, trying to think of a rightful way to try.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger and fear and also to clear his mind. He didn't even succeed because his mind never stopped racing; his heart was also running, making the unbearable noise in his chest. So his game of taking a deep breath was a failure since his mind switched memories as it showed him a wolf.
The boring part was when he thought of a wolf and it appeared; after that, his mind put on the mindset that it was a demon, so it had to be different. So in fear of the demon wolf he pictured, he said, "Scary, totally scary. What if it attacks me from behind? And I've got nine lives, damn, I forgot about that. Now how am I going to search for the wolf without a sword while scared for my life? Grrr grr grr grrr!" Kai spoke on his own and got frustrated.
It was like his mind was playing tricks on him because he didn't see anything like a wolf, but it was appearing in his mind, and it was scary to the picture designer too.

"This is nuts. What if I find that den and locate myself in the middle of the wolves? What would I do? Such things deserve justice. I need peace, and I didn't even volunteer to do this, grr!" Kai complained, but he had no control. He had to follow the rules and safety precautions to survive.
Suddenly, a notice appeared on the screen in his eyes.

"Aww man, what should I do now? Gain stamina and bravery to finish the mission? And then again, I need a swo…" Kai suddenly gasped. His heart loudly thudded in his chest while his mind blanked out for a second.
On the screen appeared the task of getting a reward, and in the background, the clock was ticking. He saw the clock moving on the page that was behind the current page.
"Huh?? The hell, what am I supposed to do now? First mission and second mission—I've got two missions, darn it." Kai yelled, fear and rage mixed up in his eyes.
"What should I do now?" he asked himself.
"Yeah, maybe I should check out my stats." He checked his screen and saw his achievements page.
