Episode 55

【January 1, 2000, 00:00】

【Dream Garden has been activated.】

【Test Tube Service: Millennium gift has arrived!】

【Someone has been invited to the challenger’s Dream Garden.】

【Current visitors: 3 (random gift)】

【Warning: ‘Dream Garden’ can only be activated while sleeping. (Once every 15 days)】

Message windows pop up one after another.

I, who had been continuously peering into the terrarium, could see that the whitish mist inside the glass bottle had disappeared.

In the forest, flowering trees were blooming, and birds flew over the lake where ripples sparkled. In the center sat a modest brick house.

It was a fantastical garden landscape.

It can only be entered while sleeping. So was ‘mong’ the Chinese character for dream?

Without thinking further, I quickly lay down.

And as soon as I thought about entering Dream Garden, my consciousness drifted far away.

♧

Ta-da-ran~!

[Welcome, Master!]

[You have visited Dream Garden, your very own fantasy garden, for the first time.]

[Please select your avatar.]

[(!) The selected avatar cannot be changed later.]

“Huh?”

What… is this a game?

I stared bewilderedly at the avatar selection window that appeared before my eyes.

It had cute graphics like a console game, with various tiny characters smiling or jumping around, performing motions in place.

Not just the characters, but the space I was in was the same.

The soft pastel tones and cute graphics looked like a half-and-half mix of Animal Crossing and Minecraft.

‘…Let’s just do as it says for now.’

I scrolled horizontally through the avatar selection window.

Most were animals, with very few human appearances. The rabbits and cats looked very adorable, but…

‘Still, the basic race should be human after all!’

“I’ll go with this one.”

[You have selected ‘Grass Leaf Girl’.]

[Moving to Dream Garden.]

The floating sensation came again.

And with the feeling of my body becoming lighter, when I opened my eyes again—

I was inside the brick house! Wow!

【Grass Leaf Girl’s Modest Fantasy Garden】

【Level: Terrarium Lv.1】

【Environment Index: Comfortable】

【Residing Neighbors: 1/1】

[Notice: The owner of Dream Garden has arrived.]

[Notice: The dream garden is activated during sleep. Please note that you will leave Dream Garden when you wake up!]

“Wow, it’s so pretty~!”

Let me see.

From the situation, this seems to be my house?

I looked around the interior with admiration.

Starting with the crackling fireplace, the floor was covered with soft wool carpet, and by the window were a log table and a gingham-checked single sofa.

A breeze gently blew through the window.

Quite a pastoral atmosphere.

It was a resting place that made one feel peaceful just by looking at it.

While I was at it, I toured the rest as well.

Inside the red brick house, there was not only the living room with the fireplace, but also 2 rooms, a kitchen and bathroom, and even a simple storage room leading outside.

One of the two rooms was a bedroom, and the other had a nameplate reading [Atelier].

The atelier was a place where shelves packed tightly from floor to ceiling occupied three walls, with mysterious reagent bottles lined up in rows.

It felt like an alchemist’s room from a fantasy fairy tale?

I was curious about the medicine bottles, but I had a long way to go.

I didn’t look closely and headed outside for now.

“Oh my goodness…! All of this is mine? Grass Leaf Girl’s garden? My garden? Really?”

Grass Leaf Girl, that’s me.

I am Grass Leaf Girl!

Grass Leaf Girl moved her short graphic legs and ran out. My heart was full.

An unbelievable landscape spread before my eyes!

Next to the vivid jade-colored lake like spilled paint, colorful flowering trees and fruit trees danced. Plus the chirping of birds and sweet, refreshing air.

Visual, auditory, and olfactory elements were all perfect.

A landscape that modern people living in gray cities couldn’t help but be moved by.

It felt like entering a fairy tale.

‘Test Tube sister, is it okay to treat me this well…?’

So this is how I achieve my dream of owning a home!

After the broken engagement ruined the newlywed house, and the rental scam ruined the lease house… including my age before regression, after nearly 40 years, my first owned property has such excellent specs.

“I’m going crazy, stars…”

But…

Is this all?

‘It’s an Excellent grade reward… is providing a dream resting place for good sleep the end?’

It’s not even real, just a house in a dream?

Hmm. How is this different from delusion?

‘Compared to all the fuss about millennium gifts and such on the invitation, isn’t this too… modest?’

After finishing my appreciation of the beautiful natural scenery, this ruthless Seoul woman’s heart quickly grew cold again…

[Notice: Look carefully around the garden!]

[Notice: Secrets are hidden throughout the garden. You might discover effects you carelessly overlooked!]

…Ahem. I get it.

If the notification window seems annoyed, that must be my imagination, right?

Grass Leaf Girl is the ‘owner’ of this garden, you know?

‘A bit cheeky…’

[Alert: Sleep state is unstable.]

[Alert: Preparing to wake from Dream Garden… 5…]

“Wait a minute!”

I shouted firmly and sternly toward the sky.

“She’s sorry! Grass Leaf Girl is apologizing! Can’t you see she’s kneeling right now?!”

[Alert: Sleep state has stabilized.]

Do other people’s system windows act like this too? Maybe I’m getting this treatment because I’m some useless extra?

I sniffled with sorrow and began thoroughly examining my surroundings again with a humble attitude.

And I was shocked.

“What kind of grass has options like this?!”

[Common Wild Grass: Mood +1]

[Sturdy Root Grass: Immunity +1]

[Colorful Wildflowers: Discernment +1]

[Don’t Underestimate Three-Leaf Clover: Luck +1]

Every time I looked at the nearby plants, options followed like name tags, making me dizzy.

I quickly thought about bringing a basket to wipe out all these plants’ seeds, but then I hesitated.

Wait, Grass Leaf Girl! No getting ahead of yourself!

“Knock knock~ Teacher? Do these effects only apply in dreams, or do they apply to reality too?”

[Alert: Achievements gained in Dream Garden synchronize with reality.]

Basket! Basket! Basket! Basket!

I’ll throw everything in and boil it all down like medieval inn stew where they just tossed in whatever and ate it!

From now on, please call Grass Leaf Girl a vegetarian~.

Just as I was heading straight to the storage with fierce determination to find a trowel and basket.

“Huh?”

On one side of the path back to the storage, I could see colorful mist flowing out from between the cracks of the artificial mountain in the distance.

‘What’s that now?’

I followed it as if enchanted.

Getting closer, what I thought was mist turned out to be formless smoke that was actually moist water vapor.

And following it all the way in—

“Oh my. What’s this? Hot springs?”

It was a hot springs area surrounded by artificial mountains.

Open-air baths were positioned on each terraced level carved into the mountain. The colorful steam rising from each bath made the entire area look as if it were submerged in a rainbow.

I stared blankly at the water cascading down like a waterfall, then suddenly snapped to attention.

Each bath had a sign posted.

[Fulfillment Pool], [Sage Pool], [Longevity Pool], [Enlightenment Pool], and so on…

Like their different colors, the types and effects were varied, but I cautiously stepped back for now.

Just like how you might eat thoughtlessly at a wedding buffet but rationally plan your dining order at a 5-star hotel buffet, when this luxurious spread appeared before my eyes, I could actually be more rational.

Who knows what else might pop up.

Stay calm, don’t move rashly.

‘Let me look around more first—’

[Fairy Pool]

[Charm +1 Beauty +1 Recovery +1]

…

…?

“…!”

Splash!

Grass Leaf Girl dove right in without looking back.
