nThe next moment, Nick was bathed in light.

nFrom black, everything transformed into white.

nNick’s eyes burned due to the sudden influx of light, but they quickly adapted.

nThe next moment, the light became less bright, and Nick could finally look around.

n‘How did I end up here?’ Nick thought with surprise.

nRight now, Nick was between the two toilets when he had not even reached the first one.

n‘The Nightmare must have created more illusions that made me change my trajectory.’

nNick took a deep breath.

n‘As long as I enter a sizable area of darkness, the Nightmare can actually keep me perpetually trapped in it.’

n‘No wonder no one wanted to search for the Dreamer down here.’

n‘The danger is not the Dreamer.’

n‘The danger is the Nightmare.’

nNick noticed that the light was getting dimmer, and he was preparing to move forward again.

n‘I need to find a way to get to the toilet.’

nA bit later, the light was nearly gone, and Nick shot forward again.

nThe pillars were transforming into the forest of rusty spires again.

nHowever, Nick just kept swimming forward with all of his power.

nThe next moment, Nick saw something dark slowly rise out of the pool in front of him.

nIt was like a whale had just put its breathing hole a bit above the surface before submerging again.

nSomething was in the water, and it was big!

nA second later, it rose again, but this time, it was angled towards Nick!

nIt was swimming towards him!

nNick gritted his teeth, ignoring the liquid that poured through his lips.

nAnd then, he tightly shut his eyes.

nBut he continued swimming!

nEverything became silent.

nIt was deathly silent.

nThe only thing moving was Nick.

nHe almost felt like he was in an endless void of nothingness.

nDing.

nNick’s right knee hit something solid, but the object was pushed away.

nHowever, Nick knew exactly what he had just hit.

nIt felt a bit soft but with a hard core.

nIt was a head!

nA human head!

nThe next moment, Nick hit something again.

nThis time, it was an arm.

nHowever, Nick just kept moving forward.

nMore and more body parts appeared in Nick’s way, but he just batted them to the side.

n“I’m sorry,” the crying voice of a kid said quietly.

nThe next moment, a small arm grabbed Nick’s ankle.

n“I’m so sorry!” the kid shouted.

n“Please, forgive me!”

nThe next moment, several other arms grabbed Nick.

nThey wanted to pull him into the depths!

n“I’m sorry!”

n“I’m sorry!”

n“I’m sorry!”

nA chorus of different but desperate voices shouted from all around Nick as the grips of the arms tightened.

nNick couldn’t move anymore.

nHe had been completely immobilized!

nNick’s terror reached new heights, but he only kept trying to swim forward.

nThat was the only thing that could save him!

nSplash!

nNick was suddenly pulled under!

nThe arms tightened around him and continued pulling.

nAnd then, Nick suddenly felt it.

nTeeth!

nHuge teeth!

nNick’s legs hit a couple of teeth, and the teeth were almost a meter long!

nEven more, Nick’s body wasn’t nearly strong enough to resist these teeth, and his legs started to bleed.

nIn his panic, Nick desperately tried to swim away, but the arms kept pulling him back.

nEven more, the arms seemed to come out of this thing’s mouth!

nThe arms were pulling him into the maw!

nNick felt the maw advance.

nA deep shadow appeared around Nick as he was engulfed.

nThere was another Specter in here!

nAnd this was not a level one Specter!

nHe would die!

nHe would die!

nNick felt himself get pulled further and further down into the maw.

nAnd then…

nEverything stopped.

nNick didn’t move for several seconds.

nBut nothing happened.

nSlowly, Nick opened his eyes.

nAnd he saw light!

nHe was below one of the toilets!

n‘I did it!’ Nick thought in shock.

n‘I actually did it!’

nFor several seconds, Nick just looked at the light above him.

nHe was safe!

nThere was no second Specter!

nSplash!

nSuddenly, something splashed in the liquid in front of Nick, and all his anxiety returned!

nNick looked down.

nAnd then, he saw it.

nA floater.

nA turd.

nThe person in the house above him had just taken a **.

nNick grimaced in disgust.

n‘Really? Now?’

nAnd with that, all of Nick’s elation was gone and replaced by annoyance.

n‘Anyway, I can look for the Dreamer now.’

nDue to the extreme darkness, Nick couldn’t see all parts of the ceiling from any one spot.

nBecause of that, he went to the little safe spots to search the ceiling.

nThe next moment, Nick poked his head into the darkness, but his body remained in the light.

nThe Nightmare’s influence returned, but it was far weaker than before.

nBy moving his head out of the light like this, Nick could look at the 100 square meters above him with quite a lot of confidence.

nHowever, since 100 square meters were only ten by ten meters, Nick needed to do this from several locations to check everything.

nAfter he looked at the ceiling above him, Nick readied himself to swim towards the next toilet.

nObviously, the Dreamer wasn’t here.

nNick took a deep breath and readied himself.

n‘I’ve done this before. Now, I just need to do it again!’

nThen, Nick shot forward.

nThe terrors returned.

nNick closed his eyes.

nCRKSH!

nNick stopped breathing as he felt some teeth tear a part out of his arm!

nThe pain was brutal and sharp.

nNick opened his eyes and looked at his right elbow.

nHis flesh had been torn off!

nOnly the bloody bone of his elbow was left!

n‘Is… is this real?’ Nick thought. 𝓇𝘦𝒶.𝘤𝘰𝑚

n‘I’ve never heard that the Nightmare could do something like this before!’

n‘Right! The teeth of the maw also tore my legs open, but when I reached the light, there was nothing!’

n‘I have to keep swimming!’

nEven though a huge part of Nick’s arm had just vanished, he still continued swimming as he closed his eyes.

nHe had to reach the toilet!

nThe next moment, something tore Nick’s leg off, and Nick was nearly pulled under by the force.

nNick wanted to scream due to the pain, but he just kept swimming forward.

nHe had to reach the light!

nHe had to reach it!

nMore and more of Nick’s body was torn apart, and Nick wasn’t even sure what he was anymore.

nHis being was so overwhelmed with pain that his mind even blacked out for some seconds.

nHe was dying.

nHe wanted to die.

nBut he wanted to live.

nIt was so bad.

nIt was so horrible.

nJust move forward.

nJust a bit.

nPlease.

nJust a bit!

nAnd then, everything stopped again.

nNick opened his eyes.

nHe had reached the second toilet.
