The Lord of Malevolence

-3rd POV-

"Hey, let's all calm down. Stealing wasn't my intention in the slightest..." Kalim smiled, "Ooh, I know! Come with me to the Asim residence. We'll have this sorted out in—" He was cut off by footsteps that could be heard, running towards them.

"Wait! Don't turn them in yet! Sir, these are friends of mine. I'll pay for their drinks." Silver said.

"Oh, really? Fine, whatever. I don't care as long as someone pays." The vendor said.

"I'm sorry for the trouble my companions caused." He bowed.

"Hmph! You'd better keep an eye on your "friends" from now on." He said, before his eyes widen, seeing (Y/n), "(Y-Y/n)-sama! I-I'm sorry! Please! Yours is on the house! Would you like another fruit? A slice of watermelon? Mango?"

The girl blinked and shook her head, "No, I'm fine. Thank you." She said, as she went to catch up with the rest, "Great...I'm in someone else's dream..." She muttered.

"Phew...At least we avoided causing a scene. Idia-senpai put in a call to Ortho, and he gave me some local currency to use." The silver haired male said.

"Thanks for that, Silver! You saved us!" Kalim said.

"Whew, what a scare. I tried to warn you..." Idia said.

"This is strange. Nobody in Silk City has ever told me to pay for something before." He pouted.

"Geez, this goes beyond being ultra-rich. They treat you like a king here..."

"I've known the guy at that drink stall for ages, too. What's happened to him?"

"Kalim, this may not look any different from reality, but remember that it's still a dream. Things can be completely different here from how they are in reality." Silver said.

"Oh, right. The way things were in my dream was nothing like reality either...I guess Jamil's dream is twisted in some way like mine was, huh? But why would people in town not know who I am in Jamil's dream?" He tilted his head.

"Vil-senpai's feeling a lot better. Let's meet back up and look for places where Jamil might be."

"We can start by checking my place. Jamil's place is on our grounds." He smiled.

(Y/n) tugged on the silver haired male's sleeve, which made him look at her with a soft blush on his face, but the girl assumed it was from the heat.

"What is it, (Y/n)?" Silver questioned.

"The vendor...He recognized me. It seems like I'm in Jamil-senpai's dream." She said.

His eyes widen slightly, "It looks like you have to keep hidden like last time."

"Alright..."

They all stood where Kalim's house used to be, the wind blowing. Only seeing dead palm trees and just a crater of where his house once stood.

Kalim's eyes widen, "Wh...This can't be right...My house is gone!" He yelled out, "The main building, the annexes, Jamil's home, they're all gone! Where'd everybody go?!"

"There ain't a single blade of grass, either." Grim said, looking around.

"You folks tourists?" A local resident spoke up.

"Yes. We came to see the Asim palace..." Ortho trailed off.

"Oh, the Asim palace? It had a change in ownership years back, and the new owner had it relocated to high ground on the outskirts of town."
