Reality is fragile, and once it cracks, everything can unravel. I never imagined my dreams would hold so much power—until they started bleeding into the waking world. At first, it was just visions, strange and unsettling. But soon, they became deadly. People died, and I realized my dreams weren’t just dreams—they were warnings, or worse, creations of something far darker.
The Sleeper, a force I never understood, began to rise, threatening to erase everything I knew. Surrounded by protectors—each carrying their own haunted past and hidden motives—I found myself at the center of a battle between two the waking world and the dream realm. My bloodline was tied to an ancient curse, one that could either save or destroy us all. As I struggled to control the power within me, I had to make impossible choices—between the love I was beginning to feel and the responsibility weighing on me.
In the end, the battle with the Sleeper wasn’t the true war. It was just the beginning. Now, as the dreamworld continues to leak into reality, I must confront new dangers, shattered alliances, and the lingering How far will I go to protect the world—and the ones I love—from the darkness I can no longer escape?
