《The Snake In My Dreams》Prologue

"--and both of you have access to the Imagination." Logan crossed his arms.
"The Imagination?" Roman asked. "What's that?"
"Can I eat it?" Remus asked. Roman looked at him incredulously. "What? It's a good question to ask!"
"Well Romulus, your predecessor, had created a realm in which anything he wanted to happen, could happen. A sort of fantasy land he had complete control over. I assume you both have access to it." Logan shrugged. "It's only logical, unlike everything else about this."
"Woah..." Roman murmured. "A place where I can make anything happen?"
"Can I even kill him?!" Remus gasped, pointing at Patton. Patton frowned, cowering behind Logan slightly.
"Not the actual Patton, no." Logan said. "But you can murder as many copies of him as you'd like, I imagine."
"Cool..." Remus mumbled in awe. "Well, can we go now?!"
"Yeah, can we?!" Roman exclaimed.
"Sure, kiddos!" Patton smiled at them, although he seemed nervous around Remus. "Just think about where you want to go, in this case the Imagination, and you'll sink out."
"Let's go!" Roman declared, grabbing Remus' hand.

Remus rose up alone, in a completely white space. He whipped his head around, looking for his twin. "Roman?!"
"Well, well, well..." A voice whispered in his ear. Remus spun towards the source, only to find no one there. "Who is this?"
"Uh--I'm Creativity!" Remus exclaimed.
A different voice laughed. "There's no way you're that bumbling oaf. He looks completely different."
"No, he does seem to be Creativity, could this have something to do with the split?" A third voice whispered.
"The split?" Remus asked.
"A rift seems to have been created, forcing all of the King's monsters on one side, and his knights and princes on the other." The first voice responded. "Are you the one responsible?"

"That depends," Remus gulped. "Who am I talking to? The knights, or the monsters?"
"Take a look at yourself, boy." The second voice hissed. "Do you look like you'd be in the company of princes?"
No. He didn't.
"A villain, you're the evil half aren't you?" The third voice giggled. "It seems fitting you'd rise up here."
"I-I'm not evi--"
"Don't fool yourself." The second voice spat. "You're like us, or you wouldn't have risen up here."
"B-But I'm not evil! I may not be the King...but I'm the...the...the Duke!" Remus stammered. "And Duke's aren't evil!"
"Okay then, Duke, let's test how good you really are." The first voice spat. "How many monsters can you slay?"
Three, large, ugly monsters appeared in front of him. He didn't have time to appreciate them, however, since they were suddenly all charging at him.
---
Remus was breathing heavily by the time he had risen up in the common room again. "Remus!" Roman exclaimed, rushing over to him. "What happened?! It's been hours!"
"Th-The monsters." Remus choked out. "They attacked me."
"Monsters? What are you talking about?" Roman frowned.
"That confirms it, then." Logan sighed. "The Imagination was split as well."
"They talked about that. How the princes and knights were separated from them." Remus stumbled over to the couch.
"I don't understand." Logan mumbled. "Romulus always said that every creature was supposed to obey him. According to Roman, that's what it was like."
"Yes! A row of knights all bowed to me!" Roman sighed dreamily.
"But it was the exact opposite for Remus." Logan furrowed his brow. "Why is that?" It was silent for a moment, all of them thinking. "Perhaps...perhaps your side is harder to control."
"Of course." Remus grumbled.
"I'm sure you'll be able to control it eventually, you just need practice." Logan gave him a small smile. "You are alright, though?"
"Yes, Pocket Protector, I'm fine."

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)
