Suelomnium

The name Suelomnium originated from the spanish word "suelo" which can mean "land", and the latin word "somnium" which means "dream".

School is out early because of a pandemic, but an interesting solution was found

Special gum is used to put people into sleep. The students know they’re in a dream world, but don’t know how they got there.

They’re put in a dream world that looks very similar, if not identical, to real life, but students spawn right outside of school.

The students know they’re in a dream world, but don’t remember how they got there. This is because after they start digesting the gum’s juices, they go to sleep, not remembering the previous 30 minutes of being awake.

Once the school day is over and they go back home, they wake up, but don’t remember how they went to sleep in the first place, and their parents don’t tell them, as it would add complications to getting them to go to school. The ones who don’t like gum are either told the secret so they can do it willingly, or given a liquid mixed in their food. Each piece of gum lasts an hour, so a ton of gum has to be given all at once, or given every hour. If it’s through food, then a cup lasts 30 minutes, so that one pretty much has to be regulated.

If not enough of the dosage is given, then they wake up early and the teachers take note of who’s in the dream world or not.

There is punishment by the school if someone in the dream world tells someone else the secret if they don’t know. In fact, it’s banned if it’s even discussed

Rhet Furaim has two best friends, one named Biguns Tronkg, who's much bigger, but a little more of a quiet guy, but he goofs around a lot with Rhet. The other friend, Onj Juz, is the same size as Rhet, and goofs with Rhet a little, but is usually lazy but logical and rational and smart.

Rhet and his friends seemed to be the only ones who liked this way of learning, because the feeling of being asleep was so good and he was able to fly around freely and through walls when class wasn’t in session, and he was able to see all the people he knew despite the pandemic. But everyone else didn’t like this method of teaching, and there were gatherings in the halls.

To combat this, the principal held an assembly, to address people’s problems.

Before the assembly, someone behind Rhet touches Rhet’s shoulder

Rhet suddenly feels really uncomfortable and starts trying to stretch and find a comfortable position, but nothing is working and he’s causing a ton of commotion, and he feels a wad of something inside of his mouth.

The principal comes over and tells Rhet to stop screwing around, but something is different about the principal. He doesn’t look human.

Somehow, Rhet was able to read and understand the true intent of his principal. Through his eyes, he could see that he eventually planned to take over everyone’s minds, and trap them inside a dream world forever, in order to use their bodies for selling as food and materials for his own species.

Rhet didn’t question this newfound ability, but believed that what he saw was not false at all.

Rhet told the principle “I don’t know what you are, but I know that you are a being of evil intentions with my friends, and I will find a way to stop you.”

Then Rhet couldn’t help but reach into his mouth and take out whatever wad was in there, as he was walking out of the auditorium.

For some reason, the student who had touched his back started following him.

The principal said “Stop! Who are you!?”

Rhet looked back to see that the student wasn’t huma, but wasn’t the same species of the principal either. Rhet didn’t have a clear view of this student’s eyes

This strange student struggled to say, “A-are...you are..a being o-of… evil intentions.”

Suddenly, the principal somehow breathed fire at the student. When the flames were cleared, the student was gone.

The principal started to charge another breath and aimed it at Rhet. Rhet dodged and ran out of the auditorium. Rhet’s two friends followed, asking what that was all about.

Rhet told them what he saw and felt, but Onj and Biguns said that all they saw was the principal and the student being humans, but the principal was just sitting there staring at the two of them menacingly when the strange student suddenly left the dream world and Rhet ran.

They ran outside, but the principal followed and kept breathing fire.

Onj and Biguns saw nothing weird other than the principal sprinting after them with an enraged face.

Onj and Biguns believed Rhet because 1. Rhet would never run out of school, despite how much he didn’t like school in general, even though the dream world was a good experience for him until he was touched by that strange student. 2. Because even though Rhet was a bit of a jokester, he wouldn’t joke about something that was most clearly not the case. 3. Because Rhet would never make fun of someone he barely knew for a joke, in this case saying it was because of the strange student that he felt uncomfortable and saw weird beings.

Rhet told them to go back to the school since the principal was after him for seeing his true form and intentions, but Biguns wouldn’t leave his buddies’ side at a time like this, and Onj believed that the principal would probably go after them too if he found out that you told us what you did, and that if he’s a different species, then there’s a chance that he already knows if that species has better hearing or some other kind of sense.

But the fact was that the principal had the intent to get rid of Rhet’s mind first, so Biguns tried to throw Rhet a far distance in order to make more distance between him and the principal, who was catching up fast. Biguns grabbed Rhet, who took the form of a ball in his hand, and they yelled in sync, “Super ultra mega launching cannon ball”. Biguns threw at about a 35 degree angle, which usually made Rhet go 20 yards at 75mph but for some reason this time, only about 9 yards was achieved after about only a second of air time.

Onj said, “Yep We’re dead.”

But right before another flame blast could hit Rhet, everything froze. After 2 seconds, he woke up.

Rhet sat up in bed and thought about what just happened. *Did the fire just kick me out of the dream world? No. it never touched me when everything froze.*

*Could it have been the strange student? Maybe, but all he did was touch me. After that was when I felt off and felt that wad in my mouth.*

*Wait! The wad! Could it be…*

He turned to look off his bed, to see a wet giant pink wad of gum. Gum of which he had no memory of putting into his mouth.
