Chapter 43: Training
Yu Han echoed a cool-looking stick and threw it to the other end of his Dreamscape.

The crab jumped up. It scuttled towards the stick faster than a dog, picked it up, held the prize above its head, then placed it at Yu Han’s feet.
“You’re a doggie!” Yu Han gasped. “A doggo trapped in a crab’s body?”
The crab circled Yu Han, clicking its claws. Yu Han wanted to pet it, but its back had some pointy-looking spikes.
He picked up the stick and poked the crab with it. It wiggled its body as if being tickled, then rolled over. Yu Han placed a palm on its hard-shelled belly and gave it a good scritch. The crab’s many legs went haywire, twitching as if electrocuted.
“Are you a good doggy-crabby? A craggy? A dobby! Wait, no…” Yu Han noticed his voice becoming more high-pitched as he talked. “Why did you appear inside my Deep Sleep?”
The crab pushed Yu Han’s hand away with a claw, then heaved itself upright. It moved dizzily for a while, as if drunk. Then it stood at attention, both claws raised up, the pincers snipping quickly. Yu gave it a good pat, spikes be damned.
It brought out a parchment from somewhere.
