Title: The Last Dreamer

Level: Advanced (C1)

#Story :

In the ancient city of Aeloria, where the boundaries between dreams and reality were thin, there lived a young woman named Elara. She was born with a rare gift—the ability to enter and control the dreams of others. Her powers had been passed down through generations, but with the gift came a heavy burden: the weight of other people’s fears, desires, and sorrows.

Elara spent her life in isolation, avoiding contact with the world outside. She was haunted by the dreams she entered, and she could no longer distinguish between her own memories and the dreams of others. Yet, despite the overwhelming nature of her abilities, she still felt a deep longing to understand the true purpose of her gift.

One night, a dream unlike any other found its way into Elara’s mind. It was not a dream of fear or sorrow but of love—a dream of a man she had never met. His name was Rian, and he appeared in her dreams every night, guiding her through strange and mystical worlds. Over time, Elara began to feel a deep connection to Rian, as if he were the key to unlocking the mysteries of her own heart.

But there was a catch. Rian’s dreams were not just dreams—they were memories, trapped in a world between life and death. And as Elara’s connection to him grew stronger, she realized that Rian was not just a figment of her imagination. He was real, but his soul was lost in the Dreamscape, a limbo between the living and the dead....
