"This…" Nyx muttered with a hint of mirth, "…is only the first thread. Once we reach one percent, the Virtual Star World will begin to… dream!"
As Nyx's voice trailed off, she flickered her finger, and instantly, the casino's illusion entirely shattered. The holographic lights bled into black rivers that flowed upward.
The guests froze mid-laugh, their avatars' eyes turning crimson and their expressions twisting into grotesque smiles.
One by one, they chanted in perfect unison…
"The dream accepts you. The dream remembers you. The dream never ends…!"
Once they finished this chant, they seemed to have fallen into a stunned state, and Nyx smirked before she rose from her seat, surrounded by the black threads.
"Now, who's losing bitches?" Nyx scoffed as her hair flowed like living darkness, her gown blending into the shadow beneath her feet.
Right at that moment, she was no longer just an avatar within the Virtual Star World, for she had become its first and last Nightmare!
