LORE

Earth is no longer the world it once was.

Years ago, the Nightmare Spell appeared, granting some humans supernatural powers while dragging others into terrifying Nightmares. Civilization slowly collapsed as Nightmare Creatures began appearing in the real world.

Humanity now survives behind fortified cities, protected by the Awakened—people who have survived the Spell and gained supernatural abilities.

Beyond the safety of the cities lies the Dream Realm, an enormous and mysterious world filled with ruined civilizations, forgotten gods, ancient secrets, and countless Nightmare Creatures.

The Spell chooses people and sends them into Nightmares, supernatural trials where death is permanent. Those who survive return stronger, gaining Attributes, Aspects, Memories, and other supernatural powers.

But the Dream Realm is far more than a place of monsters. Ancient civilizations once existed there, leaving behind powerful relics and mysteries that even the strongest Awakened cannot fully understand.

The world is divided between ordinary humans struggling to survive, Awakened warriors exploring the Dream Realm, powerful Clans controlling resources and territory, and ancient forces whose true nature remains unknown.

In this world, strength alone is not enough.

Trust can be dangerous.
Secrets can be deadly.
And every choice can shape your fate.

Your story begins when the Nightmare Spell chooses you.

THE NIGHTMARE SPELL

The Nightmare Spell is a mysterious supernatural system that guides Awakened humans through their journey of power.

[Attributes]
Every Awakened possesses unique Attributes that influence their abilities, talents, and potential.

[Aspect]
An Aspect is a unique supernatural ability awakened within a person. Each Aspect has its own Rank and abilities, and can evolve as its owner grows stronger.

[Flaw]
Every Aspect comes with a Flaw—a supernatural weakness or curse that reflects the nature of its owner.

[Ranks]
Humans and Creatures progress through six main ranks:

Dormant → Awakened → Ascended → Transcendent → Supreme → Sacred → Divine

Each rank represents a major increase in supernatural power.

[Classes]
Nightmare Creatures are classified by the number of Cores they possess:

Beast → Monster → Demon → Devil → Tyrant → Terror → Titan

The more Cores a creature possesses, the more powerful and dangerous it is.

[Soul Core]
A Soul Core is formed from accumulated soul essence. Humans and creatures can increase their strength by developing their Cores.

[Soul Essence]
Soul Essence is the energy used to activate supernatural abilities. It naturally regenerates and can be strengthened through training and experience.

[Memories]
Memories are supernatural objects obtained from Nightmare Creatures and other sources. They can possess abilities, weapons, armor, or other effects and are stored within the user's Soul Sea.

[Echoes]
Echoes are manifestations of defeated Nightmare Creatures that can be summoned and controlled by their owner.

[Nightmares]
Nightmares are trials created by the Spell. Participants must survive dangerous environments, defeat enemies, complete objectives, and sometimes make difficult choices.

[The Spell]
After completing a Nightmare, the Spell evaluates the participant's actions and rewards them with Attributes, Memories, Echoes, abilities, or other supernatural rewards.

The system does not decide the player's actions.
