Shadow Slave
Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened - an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers. Transported into a ruined magical world, he found himself facing against terrible monsters - and other Awakened - in a deadly battle of survival. What's worse, the divine power he received happened to possess a small, but potentially fatal side effect... Discord: https://discord.gg/NpDgaxRA6Y

Sunny swayed a little, and then looked down at his shadow.
The shadow seemed to be in pain. It was slumped, clutching at its chest with one hand and waving at him with the other. When it noticed that Sunny was staring at it, it desperately pointed to itself.
'What… what is this guy trying to say?'
Was he having a heart attack? No, of course not. That would be ridiculous. Shadows didn't have hearts…
What was it pointing at, then?
Sunny scowled.
The shadow was his reflection. So maybe it was not pointing at its own heart, but at his.
But his heart felt fine. What else was there to point at?
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
The Soul Core. The Soul Core usually overlapped over a human's heart…
With a shudder, Sunny dove into the Soul Sea.
Instead of the usual peace and quiet, he was met by ominous chaos. The dark waters that were always tranquil and still were now restless and turbulent. They rippled and surged, as though under the assault of the invisible winds.
