17 year old boy Lucidus Serpia was born into poverty. Losing his parents right after reaching the age of 5, Lucidus never got the chance to properly enroll into school, instead being schooled by the orphanage that he grew up in. But when he reached...
Lucidius was now rich. He was in fact, incredibly rich, at least to him. With one million dollars in this credit card, what couldn't he buy? Well, a lot of stuff, but he doesn't know that. First things first, new clothes. He hadn't got the chance to shower or change clothes that much due to him being penniless so he stank like sh*t. After walking around the street for a while(garnering a lot of stares and glares) he finally found a clothes shop! He was in Tokyo at the moment so he had no idea how to read any of the words on the buildings. As he walked into the shop, he was amazed by the interior. So much pretty clothes! So clean! So big! Nice suits! All these things caught his eyes as he looked around as if he just saw a pile of diamonds and gold. As he began walking around the shop, a worker came and began talking to him. "あのーお客様は何か買うのですか？お金持ってないなら店を出てください."*TL in the bottom* The worker looked like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and Lucidius couldn't understand what the guy was saying so he just decided to ignore him. When the worker saw this, he looked as if he were a dormant volcano that was about to explode. As the worker was about to chase after Lucidius, a woman came and reprimanded him. It was clear that the guy was a new worker, and a hotheaded one at that. As Lucidius browsed through the clothes for a while until he finally found a fit that he liked. A black t-shirt with a dragon design on it, and some black jeans with some white stripes which went well with his black hair. When he went to the cashier to purchase the clothes he chose, the woman at the cashier was the same woman who scolded the guy who tried shooing him out of the shop. The woman showed a slightly disgusted face but only for a split second before her face went back to a smile. She didn't even expect him to have the money to buy the clothes and thought it was a pain since they'd have to rewash those clothes that he touched, but strangely, when he swiped the credit card, it went through! 'Damn, he must've got lucky and got a spare credit card from a generous person while he was on the streets' she thought. As Lucidius exited the shop, he realized that he needed a shower as he stank, so he decided to buy a house right this moment. He went back to his 'shack' and prepared to sleep. As he slowly drifted to sleep, he felt his body being transported into a different realm. 'Woah, this isn't how lucid dreams usually feel like! I usually instantly realize that I'm in a dream but my body is still kind of distorted and blurry but this time it feels no different than real life!' He once again felt really grateful to Insomnium, the one who bestowed powers upon Lucidius. As Lucidius looked around, everything looked normal. If he had received the powers of the dream god without knowing it then he wouldn't have known at all that he was in a dream. The people were all real too. Whenever Lucidius did something like teleport a short distance people beside him would stare at him as if not believing what they saw, which usually never happened in dreams. Lucidius decided that with his current power it wouldn't do any harm for him to use his powers. He started flying to a mountain that caught his eyes and as he soared the skies everyone began filming him. 'Huh, so when Insomnium said that everything would actually happen, did he mean that whatever happens in my dreams, anything at all, would happen at present time?! How is that any different than being awake but with god-like powers?!' No, there was no difference. When he reached the mountain, there were already people living on it which sucked. Lucidius didn't want any extra attention, but he just managed to gain more attention instead. Lucidius conjured up a mountain that was more of a hill, and with a snap of his fingers, he created a nice house that could fit 10 people. He didn't want it to be too big or else it'll be tiresome to walk all around the house. He also created a huge courtyard and created some trees and bonsai. In a moment, a new hill was created and on top of that, out of thin air a fancy house appeared. The people nearby couldn't believe what they were seeing! Lucidius went into the interior of the house and created furniture, a refrigerator filled with food and beverages and a fancy bathroom. He then teleported all the way back to his homeless 'shack' and retrieved the new clothes he bought but then realized that he could just make clothes. So once he teleported back to his house, he filled the cupboard with black hoodies, pants and t-shirts. And on the bottom of the cupboard, underwear and socks. And with that his house renovation was pretty much done! As soon as Lucidius thought of wanting to wake up, it felt like his body was being pulled back to reality, which was a bit nauseating. If there wasn't that slightly unpleasant feeling, then Lucidius wouldn't even have known that he had woken up. When he opened his eyes, he was in the living room of the house from his dream. "....YAHOOO!!! YES!!! YAAAAA!!!!" people under the hill would probably think he was a lunatic but Lucidius didn't care. He was overjoyed!!! 'Thank you dream god!!! I'll make sure if I ever have ancestors that they worship you!' He immediately stripped, threw away his clothes and hopped into a hot shower. "OOOooooh, AAaaah" A lot of ooohs and aaahs were heard due to the feeling of getting a good wash. When he came out, he was a brand new person. With sleek black hair, a built body due to all the workouts he did while he was bored, and a handsome face, Lucidius was no longer the dirty kid from the streets, but the son of Jin and Maria Garcius, owners of a huge company.

As Lucidius put on his new clothes, he noticed that his hair was quite long, so he decided to tie it back instead of cutting it for the time being. As he began to have lunch, suddenly there was knocks on his door, and quite aggressive ones at that. 'Who could possibly come all the way here...?' When he opened the door, he saw two shady looking people in black suits. "Ummm...do I know you guys?" "Lucidius Garcia, you need to come with us." Right when they said this, they took out a card, and the card of the man it said, 'John Kim: CIA Agent. Age 34' and on the woman's it said, 'Mary Karlson: CIA Agent. Age 33.' 'CIA agents? Don't tell me the government already saw me doing what I did in the dream! And they managed to come all the way to Tokyo from the USA in that short period of time?! Damn! Whatever. I can just always get out of whatever they put me in anyways.' And so, Lucidius didn't ask any further questions and just went with the two agents. 'Huh, this kid is strangely calm...what is so special about him that makes the higher-ups want him so bad?' Both agents thought as they drove to the location that they were ordered to take Lucidius to.
