1 B episode

Devastating natural disasters and

subsequent resource wars.

At first, the emergence of a new

disease that caused millions of

people to complain about constant

fatigue and sleepiness did not

attract a lot of attention. But when

they started to fall into an unnatural

slumber, with no sign of waking up

even days later, governments finally

panicked. Of course, by then it was

already too late - not that an early

response could have made any

difference.

When the infected started dying in

their sleep, their dead bodies

turning into monsters, no one was

ready. Nightmare Creatures quickly

overwhelmed national militaries, plunging the world into complete

chaos.

No one knew what the Spell was,

what powers it possessed, and how

to fight it.

In the end, it was the Awakened

those who survived the first trials of

the Spell and came back alive -

who put a stop to its rampage.

Armed with miraculous abilities

earned in their Nightmares, they

restored peace and created a

semblance of a new order.

Of course, it was only the first of

the catastrophes brought upon by

the Spell. But as far as Sunny was

Concerned, none of it had anything

to do with him – not until a few days ago, that is, when he first

started having trouble with staying

awake.

For an average person, being

chosen by the Spell was as much of

a risk as an opportunity. Kids

learned survival skills and fighting

techniques in school, on the off

chance of being infected. Well-to-do

families hired private tutors to train

their children in all sorts of martial

arts. Those from the Awakened

clans even had access to powerful

legacies, wielding inherited

Memories and Echoes in their first

visit to the Dream Realm.

The richer your family was, the

better your chances of surviving and

becoming an Avwakened were.

But for Sunny, who had no family to

speak of and spent most of his time

scrounging for food instead of going

to school, being chosen by the Spell

presented no opportunity at all. To

him, it was basically a death

sentence.

A few minutes later, Sunny was

yawning while several policemen

were busy putting him in restraints.

Soon he was fastened into a bulky

chair that looked like a weird mix

between a hospital bed and a

torture device. The room they were

in was situated in the basement of

the police station, with thick

armored walls and a formidable-

looking vault door. Other officers were standing near the walls, with

automatic rifles in their hands and

grim expressions on their faces.

Sunny did not particularly care

about them. The only thing he could

think about was how much he

wanted to sleep.

Finally, the vault door opened, and a

gray-haired policeman walked in. He

had a seasoned face and stern eyes,

looking like someone who had seen

a lot of terrible things in his life.

After checking the restraints, the

policeman glanced quickly on his

wristwatch and then turned to
