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.

At first, Sunny and Nephis were tense and fully focused, observing the feasting serpent with grim apprehension and a bit of dread.
But then, slowly…
It got a little boring.
Even though very few people had ever gotten a chance to see a Great Beast devour a Great Monster — or maybe none at all — as it turned out, even such a macabre and awesome spectacle could grow old really fast.
The Black Turtle was just too enormous. Even though the azure serpent was gigantic itself, it still couldn't devour a significant portion of its carcass in a short amount of time, no matter how hard it tried. It would probably take the creature days, or even weeks, to put a dent in the floating corpse of the titanic monster.
Eventually, Sunny and Nephis found themselves sitting side by side on the green moss, looking silently at the Great River.
