Entering the Dream Simulation was an odd experience, to say the least.
Nie Li could confidently say it felt nothing like anything he'd known before.
One moment he closed his eyes in the familiar surroundings of his room, and the next, he was opening them to an entirely different reality.
Looking around, Nie Li found himself perched beside a crystal-clear lake, its serene waters stretching out before him. "What's this?" he wondered aloud, his curiosity piqued as he stood up...

[ Heavenly Marks Family - Elders Hall ]
Patriarch Nie Hai stepped into what should have been the most illustrious room of an aristocratic family.
Instead, he was met with a dull room, the grandeur marred by cracks hidden within its walls.
As he entered, the elders rose to their feet in respect.
"We greet the Patriarch!" they chorused, a formal acknowledgment of his presence.
Nie Hai merely raised his hand, a gesture for them to sit, as he moved on to the ...

Nie Li blinked in confusion.
He didn't understand any of the text.
What the hell was a Yama's Furnace Breathing Technique?
What was a life coin?
Why did he have two?
Nie Li didn't care; he needed to fix this mess.
"Take the life coin. I don't care, just fix this."

As Nie Li sat enveloped in his own thoughts, Xiao Yun wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace.
She could see the turmoil in her son's eyes.
"Nie Li, we all chose to do what we did because we believe in you," she said softly, her voice laced with conviction.
"Don't see our sacrifices as a burden. See them as the support they are meant to be. We have faith in you; we know you will win."
Tears welled up in Nie Li's eyes as he looked around the room.

Three days prior, while Nie Li's body was training on autopilot, his family faced their own challenges at home.
Nie Ming, Xiao Yun, Nie Kai, and Miao Ling sat together in the living room, enveloped in silence, occasionally disturbed by the sounds of Nie Li's rigorous training outside.
"It looks like he's training hard," Nie Li's aunt Miao Ling observed, breaking the quiet. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but just training isn't enough. He'll need weapons, armor," Ni...

Cultivation.
Nie Li mulled over the concept as he stared at the system screen before him.
What exactly was it?
In essence, cultivation was the process of making oneself more powerful through specific methods.
There were numerous paths one could take on this journey, but the most common boiled down to two types: Soul Cultivation and Body Cultivation.
Soul Cultivation involved using special techniques, consuming pills, and utilizing mystical items to enhan...

He couldn't help but blame himself.

Elder Nie Wei had long understood the grim reality that the Heavenly Marks Family was fading away.
As a child, he had witnessed their glory, a proud family of warriors whose fame could rival even the Snow Wind Family.
But as the decades passed, he watched helplessly as their power diminished.
Their lands were seized over trivial disputes, their warriors either killed or exiled, all to satisfy the whims of rival families.

Nie Li slowly got up, his jaw throbbing with pain.
He looked around and found himself in a frozen, broken-down hallway.
The walls and ceiling looked like they had given way a long time ago, leaving sharp icicles hanging dangerously above him.

The image of Lu Piao, his best friend, sacrificing himself so Nie Li could escape, hit him like a ton of bricks.

Long ago, humans lived under the watchful eyes of these powerful creatures.
They were too weak to fight among themselves, protected and at times restrained by Pokémon.
Among these creatures, the legendary Pokémon stood out.
They were beings of immense power and wisdom, often worshipped as gods by the ancient people.
