Today's dream: The Building that's Actually a Dungeon

in #hot5 years ago


I have a very vague understanding of what happened before I entered the game stage. It felt like someone was talking to me about strange phenomena and the different reactions people had depending on their culture. All I know for certain is that at some point in the conversation, I ended up in the big garden of a white building with black windows. At that point, looking around, I knew there was something strange about this world.

On the ground level, there were weak monsters lying in wait. But weak didn't mean harmless. If you took a wrong turn, you could die. The theme of this floor was little ghosts, vampires and clouds that ran fast. Once we walked in, I could see the little creeps flying sometimes in and out of the building.

The garden outside was well kept. There were tiny hedges and very green grass. There was a group of business-people who ran the place but they were not at all completely safe because even they could not go to the penthouse and defeat the boss, and even in some lower storeys they'd probably perish if they challenged the monsters. But they were ok for a few storeys so they served as guides to the newbies like me and the people who were with me.

We were guided inside and from a lush garden, we travelled into a normal and very empty building, except for the creeps who were very obviously "hiding" in certain corners that could have been darker than they were. They honestly looked like cute little monstery-doos, like the tiny house spiders whose only purpose is to rid the place of mosquitoes and flies.

The tour guide, a slightly fat businessman dressed in black pants and a light-blue shirt, led us to an elevator and told us that he would show us around another level that was a better display of what the building had for us. At this, we were a bit worried because the ground level wasn't all that harmless for us, and going up could prove fatal. This worry was heightened by the fact that the businessman clicked the number 25 in the elevator. If we weren't even sure about the levels 2 or 3, 25 could be filled with some super fast and murderous creatures!

When the elevator opened, I was very attentive to what would be outside, and it seemed to be a very busy Aladdin-like market in the old middle east. As soon as we walked out, the businessman disappeared and in his place appeared our very own Aladdin with his "I will show you the world". We started talking about everything and I asked him a lot of questions about this place.

He told us that this level's economy flourished due to the steady stream of visitors. Basically, the whole economy ran on visitors and probably hunting monsters around level 25. I was asking myself if a whole ecosystem could be fed from the visitors' money. I didn't consider that they could leave this building if they wanted. Everyone looked so foreign, dark-skinned, many wearing no shirt, with strange headwear. It was very fun just talking with our guide about what this world was all about, even if I don't remember almost anything from what we discussed.
