Prologue of the Nightmare

"Dreams"

What comes to your mind when you hear this word?

An ideal world? A place where all your wishes can come true?

A fantasy?

Or perhaps an alternate reality that resides within our subconscious.

There may be many things that come to mind.

Let me ask you another question,

what if someone tells you that

"your dreams can become true"? What would you do? It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn them into reality. You might think, "It's wonderful to make them come true."

A world where our dreams can truly become reality, where we can transform our dreams into reality.

But for me, it's a world that should not exist, a world that should never become true.

You may ask, "Why?"

"Why do you think so?"

In everyone's perspective ,

Dreams are a realm of possibilities, where wishes may come true, and an ideal world seems within reach.

But for me, it's a haunting dimension, a forbidden crossing of paths where nightmares merge with reality. Let me tell you my story, where the line between the dreams and reality blurs, and the darkness of dreams intersects with the shining reality.

I, Araki Ryota, faced a series of nightmares at the age of sixteen, where dreams converged with reality and our lives were constantly kept at stake.

This is the tale of my worst nightmare.
