Interstellar Dream Maker

"In the interstellar world, at the Dream Forger assessment live broadcast on the StarNet, the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring on the verge of snapping.

The cold, mechanical voice of the system announced: 'Contestant Lily, the

Object-Oriented Dream Forging Assessment has begun. The subject category: Flying Birds.'"

"You have one star hour to complete the assessment."

At this moment, the long-haired girl in the live broadcast room had her eyes tightly shut, as if under a paralysis spell, completely unresponsive to everything around her.

At this moment, Lily's brows furrowed tightly. She felt as though a storm was raging in her mind, with everything turned upside down and in turmoil. Countless flashes of light and streams of information flooded her mind, leaving her feeling disoriented and dizzy.

Time ticked by, second by second, but the girl still made no move. Many viewers who had gathered in the live broadcast room grew restless, and the bullet comments scrolled rapidly across the screen.

"What's going on? Didn't they say this contestant has S-level mental power? Why hasn't she started forging the dream yet?" A bullet comment sliced through the silence on the screen, sounding the bell of doubt.

"Maybe she's still thinking it through? After all, even with object-oriented dreaming, one can improve accuracy by refining the creation to boost the score. Perhaps she's planning everything before starting," someone attempted to offer a reasonable explanation, though their anxiety was still evident.

"Why do I feel like her expression looks a bit pained? Could it be 'mind blanking'?" This guess dropped like a stone into the already unsettled waters, sending ripples across the screen.

"Forget it, I'm out. As expected, she's from some trashy planet. No matter how high her mental power is, she's never been trained. What's the point of watching?"

Even worse, some viewers coldly tossed out their degrading comments before decisively leaving, like a group of butterflies turning away after failing to find anything in a blooming garden. They flocked to the live broadcasts of other contestants, in search of what might be a more exciting spectacle.

After all, many of the viewers from the Flying Bird Planet had only entered this live stream a few days ago after hearing about an S-level mental power contestant during the mental power test. They came with high expectations, but after waiting so long without seeing what they hoped for, they felt their time was being wasted.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but finally, Lily opened her eyes. She gazed at the floating countdown timer before slightly pursing her lips.

She closed her eyes, opened them again, then closed them once more, and opened them again. After repeating this a few times, the scene before her remained unchanged, with only the countdown clock ticking down slowly in the air.

Even though Lily was reluctant to admit it in that moment, she had no choice but to face the harsh reality before her.

I've she crossed over

ot only had she crossed over, but she had also entered a book.

This was a book titled Interstellar Sweet Marriage, a light and sweet interstellar romance novel.

The male lead, Warren Hil, is the illegitimate son of an imperial marshal, a classic "handsome, strong, and tragic" character. He was betrayed by his family and accidentally entered a dangerous wormhole. His escape pod crash-landed on a remote, garbage-filled planet in the Federation, where he was found and brought home by the female lead, Violet, who survives by scavenging.

The cold and suspicious male lead initially harbors doubt towards the female lead. However, as they spend more time together, he gradually becomes attracted to her kindness and charm. Through their journey, they get to know each other, and together, they participate in the Dream Forging Selection Competition, leveling up, overcoming challenges, and unlocking new stages. From the most remote garbage planet in the Federation, they rise up and eventually become renowned interstellar Dream Forgers, making the imperial family regret their actions deeply.

And she, Lily, was the one who, like the female lead, came from the garbage planet. Despite possessing S-level mental power, she was unable to forge dreams. Eliminated early in the competition, she became the tragic side character, whose mental power was drained, leading to a pitiful death.

The only purpose of Lily's character in the book is to highlight the female lead's fortunate encounter with the male lead through her own unfortunate fate.

Good news, she's crossed over! Now, she doesn't have to rush that tragic thesis anymore.

Bad news, she's entered a book.

She became the unlucky cannon fodder side character.

Combining her own memories with the situation before her, Lily's gaze shifted slightly.

Unless something unexpected happens, the scene before her was the key moment in the fate of this cannon fodder character— the Dream Forger assessment live broadcast, the StarNet Dream Forging Realm.

The so-called Dream Forger is a unique profession in this interstellar world.

Dream Forgers use their powerful mental abilities to materialize objects, construct dreams, shape worlds, and battle dream beasts, making them the most revered and admired profession in the interstellar world.

The Dream Forging Live Battle is a once-in-a-century interstellar competition, drawing the attention of the entire universe. Across the StarNet, any Dream Forger under the age of one hundred, with qualifying mental power, can register for free to participate.

As long as their mental power can connect to the StarNet, through devices such as helmets, neural brains, or consciousness pods, they can create a physical body and mental power identical to their real selves within the StarNet. This allows for full sensory immersion between the virtual and the real, enabling them to compete with elites from across the entire starry sea.

Round after round of Dream Forging Live Battles take place across different star regions, star sectors, and species, with Dream Forgers of all ages clashing in a battle of mental powers. These competitions serve to select the most outstanding Dream Forgers of the era.

Centuries have passed, generations after generations, and the legend of the Dream Forging Live Battle has long echoed throughout the stars.

There are renowned genius Dream Forgers from prestigious families whose names echo across the stars, as well as Dream Forgers from remote star regions and unknown, weaker tribes who rise from obscurity, breaking through the ranks, and changing the fate of their entire people in a single leap.

There are those who are unknown, those with overflowing talent, those full of passion, and those who harbor dreams. In the end, it all culminates in a clash of the most talented Dream Forgers in the entire universe. Dream Forgers who perform excellently in the Dream Forging Live Battles may be recruited by powerful factions, enter prestigious academies, or be admitted to Federation military schools. Those ranked on the interstellar leaderboard can even receive large competition prizes to aid their journey.

For many Dream Forgers, even if their mental power isn't top tier, if they can showcase unique Dream Forging techniques in a specific area during the competition such as exquisite modeling, intricate structures, or outstanding color sense they will still receive various offers with generous benefits. These could include invitations from prestigious academies, recruitment from powerful factions, or job offers from companies.

There fore, even the most low-ranking Dream Forgers would take a gamble and participate in the Dream Forging Live Battle—after all, it's free, and who knows, they might just get lucky. After all, there are precedents in interstellar history where contestants, starting with a basic assessment, ended up with a streak of good luck in team battles, duels, and dungeon matches, almost being directly pushed onto the interstellar leaderboard.

Lily quickly recalled everything about the Dream Forger profession. So, there should be quite a few people watching her live stream now

However, as the novel's plot and her memories flooded into her mind, Lily felt sharp pangs of pain in her head. As soon as she attempted to mobilize her mental power according to her memories, a stabbing pain shot through her, and she had no choice but to rest for a while.

At this point, the time for the assessment had already passed its halfway mark. Many viewers from the flying bird star, who had been eagerly waiting to see "Contestant Lily" display her great powers, could no longer hold their patience. A large number of viewers began to leave the live stream, some even leaving behind scathing comments before they went.

"Let's leave, I don't think there's any hope. As expected, just a low-level carbon-based human race. It's better not to have too high expectations."

"I've already checked out other streams and came back. The demon race contestant, Dali, has already completed the assessment! As for the projection of the red-blue, they should just roll out of Flying Bird Star."

"Get lost, you race! Don't bring shame to our Flying Bird Star. If you're so capable, go ahead and take the stage yourself!"

It's over, it's over, there's no time left!

Lily calmed her thoughts and waited until the sharp pain in her head subsided. When the pain finally eased, she cautiously tried to summon a portion of her mental power. There was still some discomfort in the back of her head, but it was bearable.

She lifted her head and saw the floating countdown suddenly grow larger. At the same time, the cold mechanical voice of the system echoed in Lily's ear once again:

"Contestant Lily, the directed object projection Dream Forging assessment is about to end."

"Your time is down to three minutes!"
