* {{Foreshadowing}}: A book at a fishing spot by Elder Taishang's house talks about man and fish's mutual envy for being able to walk on land or swim in water respectively, which also summarizes the usual dog-eat-dog culture of cultivation genres like this world. [[spoiler:Not only does it foreshadow Taishang's plan to turn the Evoker's ascension ceremony into her own cultivation ritual out of "envy" of the Evoker's power, envy is also a central theme to the Bottle Immortal's life of having to slay countless people fearing or wanting her power, while she herself desires life outside the bottle.]]
-->''Fish swim in the pond, people walk on the shore.\\
Fish envy people's ability to walk, people envy fish's ability to swim.\\
To swim or to walk, to walk or to swim.''

Accordingly, Dolls who are related to the genre (Qing Dai, Qing Hao, and Qu Ling) or fit into stereotypes (Yuki the shady merchant, Nicolette the pill alchemist, Dolores the herb farmer, etc.) show up.

The ordinary days before summer break of a presently drowsy high school student gets a bit more exciting when a transfer student named Hoshimi Asuna comes into class, taking the seat next to him and calling him by name. When she explains it as magic, the student hides his surprise, for he is a magical girl contracted to a familiar named Rym, fighting aberrations born from negative emotions. Hiding a scratch on his arm he got from fighting last time, he drifts to sleep once again.\\\
The Evoker is then roused awake by Virgina in the mansion during the afternoon at 2, having stayed up playing a video game with Asuna and Silenus last night. Virgina however sees the wound on his arm and bandages it, though neither knows how it happened. Coming down for lunch, the Evoker meets Asuna who also just woke up, relating to him her dream that is all but the same as his, apparently based on the game they had been playing. Seeing that Silenus hasn't woken up, the Evoker goes into her room to do so, only to find her sleeptalking and somehow gaining wounds as she fights aberrations in her dream. While panicking over what to do, a sudden bout of drowsiness takes him asleep.

Virgina however sees the wound on his arm and bandages it, though neither knows how it happened. Coming down for lunch, the Evoker meets Asuna who also just woke up, relating to him her dream that is all but the same as his, apparently based on the game they had been playing. Seeing that Silenus hasn't woken up, the Evoker goes into her room to do so, only to find her sleeptalking and somehow gaining wounds as she fights aberrations in her dream. While panicking over what to do, a sudden bout of drowsiness takes him asleep.\\\
The student Evoker is suddenly on the school's rooftop, fighting aberrations alongside a blue-haired scientist girl--Silenus, though he only feels familiarity with this stranger. They are then joined by Asuna's timely reinforcement, revealing herself to be a magical girl like the scientist. Before they could explain further, apparently still retaining most of their memories than the Evoker, he wakes up and remembers his "dream", whereas Silenus and Asuna remain asleep. Realizing that the shared dreams are no accident and the damage incurred in them gets reflected onto their real bodies, the Evoker traces the problem to the video game he and the girls played last night. Miyo, having missed the game session to take care of paperwork, explains she and Asuna found the game disc in an antique shop in the Trade District; when she and the Evoker play the game together (it being a two-player-only game), the Evoker becomes certain the contents of the game are the same as his dream... but he once again falls asleep.\\\
In the dream, the Evoker had been suddenly told to flee from the "strangers" after the night's battle by Rym, who we see is a pink bird. She explains that the strangers wielded unknown magic, saying they are best left alone so that the Evoker can focus on defeating the Otherworldly Abomination, an aberration said to be the most powerful by far. Still, homework does not do itself--ignoring Rym telling him to skip it, he takes out his workbook and finds Rym's name on it, who apparently practiced her writing on it. But before he could do anything, he senses aberrations next to office buildings, and fights them alongside an office lady he briefly remembers as Miyo.\\\
Back in the waking world, Ennis was unable to trace the disc's origins while the Order determined that the disc is at least not apparently magical, and the Dolls who played the game still sleep with no signs of curses on them. Ennis speculates that the game induces hypnotic suggestions in those who play it, so she induces a suggestion in the Evoker that will call forth his unconscious memories even if the dream blocks his memory. In the next dream, the Evoker is in class again, except Silenus shows up as a student and Miyo the maths teacher. When the three new girls leave upon seeing Ennis outside the room, the Evoker detects aberrations in a shopping mall, ignoring Rym's advice to leave the aberrations to the strangers, and again with her warning to run away once Ennis shows up. With a snap of her fingers, her suggestion works with the Evoker regaining his memories... and now conscious that he is a boy in a magical girl outfit, to the Dolls' mirth.

Added DiffLines:

* DungeonBypass: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] into a RunningGag; the story starts out as you'd expect of a hero and their partner setting out to defeat an EvilOverlord and her EliteFour minions. It's just that Coco tends to wander off the path laid out for them [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny whenever something catches her attention]] and forces the Evoker to follow, which then ends with them taking down a monster and finding an alternate path--straight past the Dolls playing as the actual minions.
* EliteFour: The Demon Empress' four minions, who are four Dolls set up as 'miniboss battles' for Coco and the Evoker. The problem is that our two heroes keep getting off-track no thanks to Coco's wandering around, then running into monsters that they assume are the minions. [[spoiler:They are, in fact, the Sins in disguise trying to take down the Evoker.]]
* MythologyGag: The start of one to be exact. In every ''Dream Quest'' event and some others after ''1.0'', there will be a caterpillar who the Evoker may question whether they're Deanna or not.
* UpdatedReRelease: As of the 29 January 2024 update, the event celebrates the coming Chinese New Year by changing "Loot Bags" to "Red Envelopes", the title screen themed after Chinese-style New Year celebrations, and characters here and there saying Happy New Year.

There used to be an Arc Knight Order, but they all got taken out by TheEmpire before the Evoker and Dreizehn came.
** The event's antagonists are TheEmpire, which is winning against the [[LaResistance Rebel Alliance]]. By the time of the story, the Rebels are mounting a final defense on a planet about to be targeted by a planet-destroying moon base called the "Dread Star".
** The BigBad of the story is the "Dark Lord of the Sins", who has [[TheDreaded an enforcer suited in black robotic armor and wielding a red lightblade]], known as "Imperial Supreme".

The Evoker finds himself suddenly in a room, and for this incident, it's also involved every single inhabitant of the mansion (and Anastasiya). On a wall appears the projection of a woman in a black party dress, naming herself "Justice Kamen Lady K"... who suspiciously looks like Clothotho--Clotho apparently has never seen her before despite the Evoker calling out on her bad acting. "K" informs them that they are in a survival game taking place on "Death Island", where they must survive for a week on an island avoiding its dangers; the winner who makes it to the end gets to spend a ten-day holiday tour of Continent Crescent with the Evoker, plus a "best Doll" title. Right off the bat though, Anastasiya is turned into a collectible game card for disrespecting the rules, followed by Asuna becoming a plushie because she used her foresight, then Ennis a rose for investigating the mastermind's identity. ''Then'' the game begins proper.\\\

On the first day of the death game, Silenus and Akaset somehow have already prepared an interstellar warship to take with them the Evoker and effectively skip the game, though Ao Ling crashes in on their plans, arrogantly offering to transform into a dragon to do the same. Then the would-be ship pilots are turned into capsule toys for attempting to cheat; Ao Ling follows suit for talking about her plans aloud, forcing the Evoker to return to the others.

An unnamed figure offscreen talks to Clotho, warning her that her newfound family might hate her for this. Still, the Evoker and his Dolls have been working overtime and stretching themselves to the limit that they might forget about the upcoming Two-Year Anniversary, thus necessitating whatever it is she had planned.\\\

The fifth edition of Dream Quest has come--with the Evoker logging into the game in a starfighter in space being chased by two black starfighters, much to his shock, before he is hailed on the comms by Silenus of the Rebel Squadron Command Center to land on the planet below, then tells him to trust in the "Electro-Magnetic Force". Between the fighter's damage and his inexperience, the Evoker has to go for a crash-landing, before which an ominous warning flashes on the screen: "Until the crisis of Dream Quest: '''6 days'''"\\\
Managing to walk away from the crash, the Evoker finds himself still being chased by the Imperials of the now-named event's antagonist, the Dark Lord of the Sins. Just as he is about to be found, blue lightning surges and defeats one--its source came from Dreizehn, who the remaining fleeing Imperial identifies as a lightblade-wielding Arc Knight commanding the Electro-Magnetic Force. In the time the Evoker and Dreizehn caught up with each other on the situation however, the Imperial blows up the other stranded fighter, cutting their ticket off the planet.\\\
In the duo's search for a way to contact the Rebel Alliance, they find a tavern owner who at first appears sympathetic to the Rebel cause, but the Evoker somehow hears the owner from afar the same as Dreizehn, selling out their locations to the Empire out of fear of being seen as their enemy. They waste no time escaping, Imperial starfighters showing no restraint as they bombard the tavern. Dreizehn fends off the first few hostile starfighters, but just as they are about to be overrun, a white starfighter eliminates them in time, then lands in front of our heroes. Climbing out of it is Miyo, who is about to take them to the Rebel Alliance's base when a mysterious figure in black armor holds them in place with an invisible grip on the starfighter--that figure is Imperial Supreme, enforcer of the Empire, and another user of the Electro-Magnetic Force. Dreizehn attempts to break Imperial Supreme's hold, until the Evoker joins in and finds power rushing through him, freeing them to leave and discovering that he, too, is a would-be Arc Knight.\\\
On the way to the base, they are met by Captain Emerald, the caterpillar monster antagonist of the previous Dream Quest who is now fighting for the sake of their new home planet by defending the game. Upon arrival, the full situation is debriefed by Admiral Starmoth and Dallian: the Dark Lord of the Sins is a hacker that is leading the Empire to destroy the planet the base is on (though the reasons for why are not known at the moment), which is modeled after Continent Crescent and acts as the last firewall of the game, and has stopped the developers from interfering, while leaving those who already have accounts in the game like the Evoker the only ones capable of action. The Empire has built a planet-destroying moon base known as the "Dread Star" that will soon assault the planet, thus the Evoker must learn to become an Arc Knight within three days before it happens.\\\

Corrected parts for 72 from '75'.


At the last session, 75 manifests Pride, officially marking her full understanding of the Seven Sins. Though the Evoker and the Executor celebrate, 75 suddenly takes control of the Pride simulacrum, which she then uses to go outside. Panicking that 75 may have gone berserk from constant immersion as the Sins, the Evoker attempts to stop the terminal only for her to reassure that she's still in control and reveal that she was jealous (of the girls around the Evoker), hence her using the simulacrum to physically interact with the Evoker.\\\
