My Dreams Are Dungeon Grinds

Xia Ran's life is a constant torment. Every night, he's plunged into hyper-realistic nightmares: a smog-choked London hunted by a Ripper-esque murderer, war-torn battlefields, or desolate, apocalyptic wastes. Each \"dream\" is a brutal fight for survival, often ending in agonizing death, leaving him physically and mentally drained. But these aren't just nightmares. A terrifying truth emerges: every skill learned, every piece of knowledge absorbed, every brutal \"death\" empowers him. He's unwittingly leveling up, becoming a genius student and a physical anomaly in the real world, carrying secrets and even physical 'loot' from his perilous dream-dungeons. As his real-world capabilities skyrocket, Xia Ran finds himself trapped between two realities. But what happens when the lines begin to blur, and the horrors of his dreams threaten to manifest in his seemingly normal life?
