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...

Sunny had been right — the archer was long gone by the time the arrows hit. Kai flew all the way to the edges of the city, searching for the sniper with his miraculous vision, but found no trace of them.
He did discover the sniper nest on the roof of a dormitory tower in the outskirts, close to fifty kilometers away from the Nightmare Gate. However, there were no clues to be found there — only a few footprints in the snow, and punctured concrete where the arrows had been thrust into it for ease of access.
The arrows themselves were Memories, and had either dissolved after being destroyed or disappeared after being dismissed.
There were no functional cameras in that area of the outskirts, so no records remained to identify the attacker.
The sniper, whoever it was, had disappeared like a ghost.
