(Maria's POV)
I never imagined I would go back to being a child, specifically the child I was in my first life back on Earth, where I had another na, another identity, and I couldn't even rember my two other lives after that… Or well, technically only one life, but it feel like two most of the ti because of the mory wipe I got when I went from living Maria to ghost Maria.
Hence, it creates this weird sensation where it feels like I had three lives, my life on Earth, the Maria I was back on Yggdrasil as a spoiled noble lady, and then the Ghost I am now, which originally didn't have living Maria's mories yet, but that I've now regained.
It feels like my life, and death, have been quite the ss, and so convoluted that I wouldn't bla anybody if they thought it was just incomprehensible. But I believe my daughter Nyx understood it a bit better after everything.
And these mories I went through while being my child self, remain, they rged with my original self, and it just feels so weird, it is as if I experienced sothing new in my childhood.
Yeah, and I was a really lonely girl… Most of the "friends" I had when I was on Earth were mostly temporary, never lasting more than a year or two before they completely forgot about .
I suppose I am indeed a forgettable person, huh?
But Nyx… She treated so nicely, better than any kid my age when I was sealed into the form of a child, and those mories we went through, the struggles and everything.
It sowhat feels like she beca my friend.
Hah, I wish I could've t her when I was a child, she would've probably made quite happy.
I suppose this sa feeling applies with the other girls, well, mostly with Alma and Emily, we didn't quite get the chance to do so with Sofia and Martina in their child forms.
But they did say they had a dream together, sothing about being friends since they were children instead, and I think it was a good dream, I wish I could've seen it though.
And well, through these experiences, I learned a lot more about the girls and their past, how they were when they were younger, and their struggles and traumas.
It helped comprehend and understand them much better, almost to the sa level as those I've t in Yggdrasil for years.
And with Alma… Well, we did bond quite a lot. I was such a helpless child, and she protected , she cuddled with , and we beca really good friends.
And now that we're finally back to normal, but with these mories… It feels a bit awkward. I don't know what to think honestly, and I should probably not really think these things either.
Alma is still in high school, I don't really know her age, but I'm sure she's at least seventeen, that's way too young…
I just can't really… bring myself to really accept anything romantic for now.
But these mories we had together, they make feel so much closer to her than I imagined…
Even a bit with Emily as well, which feels really quite overwhelming.
And well, with the other things we experienced, even with Sofia too?
Wait, this is getting weird now…
Let's just forget it, I can't… I don't really have the ti for romance, to be honest.
This world… and that Nightmare Demon that did this to us, it was incredibly powerful.
I thought I was so strong nothing could touch in this world, but I was really mistaken.
The power that Nightmare Demons of higher ranks like that Childhood guy had been incredibly strong.
They're probably at the sa level as the Divine Thrones of Yggdrasil in terms of effectiveness and Authority over the Laws of Physics and so on.
If they were able to affect , they have to be at least at that level… However, the real body of that guy wasn't as strong as a proper god, we were very close to defeat him quite easily.
However, from what I rember, once he got inside the Nightmare Realm of his creation and absorbed enough Nightmare Essence, he beca really strong.
I suppose that outside of their Realms, Nightmare Demons cannot reach their full power and potential.
But inside their Nightmare Realms, they are virtually the gods of their own small world and can bend the laws of physics to a trendous extent.
As long as it fits the Nightmare they embody, yeah, they are restricted based in this Nightmare they govern.
But this is not good news either, I need counterasures against such overwhelming powers. I don't want to get turned into an animal next or sothing!
We were lucky Nyx wasn't affected because she was already a child but imagining if she didn't join us in the last mont… Things might've gone much more differently.
Thinking about it, these high-ranking Nightmare Demons Powers originate from the Nightmare Curse that cursed this world with nightmares, right?
Then whatever this Original Nightmare Curse is… It probably so kind of powerful God of its own, perhaps the only "God" of this world, if we are quite honest.
And if all these powers originate from it, then it might be a terrifyingly strong monster.
Calculating the level of power an extension of it holds, it could be said it is stronger than all the foes I've battled combined.
I need to get stronger too! I've been leveling slowly and steadily, but this won't be enough anymore, I need to get to Max Level quickly and Evolve.
Aside from that, I will begin to quickly absorb all of my Nightmare Cores I've been producing, to gain as much Nightmare Power, and I'll try to wield it properly and use it to counter other Nightmare Authorities.
In resu, I must beco a True Nightmare myself!
And…
"Hey, you damn cat, why didn't you even help us when we were there?!"
I quickly talked through telepathy to the silent black cat sitting on my lap.
She started sweating nervously, remaining in silence.
"I-I was also turned into a child! A little cat! I was helpless!"
"You aren't tricking anybody with that!"
"Nyaaaggh!"
