The morning sun shone gently through the window.Alokita was still snoring loudly, hugging his blanket like it was the most precious treasure in the world.
The tiger lay nearby, staring at him. "How long do humans sleep?"
No answer. Only snoring.
The tiger sighed. "Useless creature…"
Then suddenly—
[System Notice: Beast Partner Experience Sharing Active][Linked Beast Gaining 50% of Host Dream Training Rewards]
The tiger blinked. "What?"
A warm glow surrounded him.He felt… stronger.
[Beast Level Up – 10 → 11 | Fire Control +2 | Strength +5]
His eyes went wide. "…Wait, I leveled up? WHILE DOING NOTHING?!"
He looked at Alokita again.The boy was drooling on his pillow.
"So… just by being linked to this fool… I get stronger?"
The tiger slowly laid his head back down beside Alokita."Fine. I'll sleep too."
He closed his eyes, and within moments — both master and beast were in deep slumber.
A few hours later…
[System Notice: Dream Training Mode Activated for Both Host and Beast.]
Alokita found himself standing once again in the glowing dream arena.But this time, the tiger appeared next to him — confused and annoyed.
"What trick is this, human?!"
Alokita grinned. "Oh hey, flame cat! Welcome to my nightmare gym!"
"I told you—" the tiger roared, "I'm the Flame King!"
Dozens of goblins appeared around them, charging forward.
Alokita screamed, "SYSTEM! EXIT! EXIT!"
[System: Training in progress. Please fight.]
The tiger's fur blazed with fire. "Fine! Stand back, human!"
He roared, sending a wave of flame that burned the goblins into ashes instantly.
Alokita blinked. "Wow. That was fast."
[Dream Dungeon Cleared!][Rewards Distributed Equally.]
Alokita smiled. "See? Teamwork makes dream work."
The tiger growled. "You did nothing!"
"Correction," Alokita said proudly, "I supervised."
The tiger facepalmed with his paw. "If laziness was a weapon, you'd rule the world."
[System Reply: Noted. Weapon Development Possibility: Lazy Aura.]
Both of them froze.
Alokita: "…No way."Tiger: "NO. WAY."
Back in the real world…
They both woke up suddenly.Alokita stretched. "Ahh, good nap. I feel stronger."
The tiger opened one eye. "Same… somehow."
They both checked their stats.

Alokita's eyes sparkled. "We can level up faster if we nap together?!"
The tiger looked at him, horrified. "No. Never."
"Come on," Alokita teased, "It's for training."
"You drool in your sleep!"
"I call it battle moisture."
"That's disgusting."
[System Notice: Next Dream Training begins in 10 minutes.]
The tiger's tail twitched. "Fine. But if you touch me while sleeping, I burn you."
Alokita smiled sleepily. "Deal."
And just like that, both lay back down again —one dreaming of endless naps,the other questioning every life choice that led him there.
