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.

Lapse of Judgment
It only took Sunny a split second to understand what had happened. One of the scientists locked in the shelter had fallen asleep… in their sleep, that person had been pulled into the First Nightmare.
And died.
Perhaps the trial of the Spell was especially harsh, or perhaps the scientist was especially weak. Perhaps luck was simply not on their side. In the end, it did not matter.
What mattered was that the Seed of Nightmare in their soul bloomed, and a deadly abomination was unleashed into the waking world.
Crimson blood on the white lab coat. A grotesque figure that resembled a ghastly amalgamation of a human and a monstrous mannequin made of flesh. Screams of fear, eyes full of shock. Even though the Nightmare Creature had just been born, it already unleashed its murderous madness on the defenseless civilians in the shelter.
Everyone was late to react — the automated defense systems, the sentries posted in the bunker… even Sunny himself.
