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...

Broken Land
After a long time spent in comfortable silence, Sunny glanced at Nephis, thought for a few moments, and asked:
"So, what do you make of this place?"
The other members of the cohort all had a deep connection to the Chained Isles. Sunny and Cassie had spent the most time here, but Effie and Kai were also deeply tied to the remains of the Kingdom of Hope. Their experiences in the Nightmare were not something one could ever forget.
It was a place that had changed them.
Nephis, on the other hand, was a stranger here. She could look at the Chained Isles as an outsider.
So, he was idly curious about her perspective.
Neph lingered for a while, then said quietly:
"It is as everywhere else. Broken."
Sunny smiled.
"I guess. The Chained Isles are more honest in that regard, aren't they? They don't hide their broken nature."
Indeed, the Dream Realm was a ruined world.
…The waking world was a ruin, too.
