An Enigma: A person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand. Julia is a girl living in the time of the Nightmare Spell, a sort of disease that has turned many infected humans into Awakened with special abilities in order to combat nightmare creatures in a parallel world known as the Dream Realm. As a child from the outskirts, she has very little challenge of even passing her first Nightmare, and would most likely die, her body becoming the conduit for an abomination to come through and slaughter multiple people, as such she took the logical course of action, and decided it was to attempt suicide. That's what she was told at least, as after she woke up from her first nightmare she has been rendered unable to remember any details of her life from before the nightmare beyond what Sunny, her rather petty and cunning friend has told her. Now, together with Sunny, a blind seer named Cassie, and Nephis, a legacy clan princess who could only be described as an Autistic Blowtorch, she must figure out how to even survive the Dream Realm before worrying about anything else. And she will survive, even if it meant lying, stealing, and manipulating her way up the ladder. (I do not own shadow slave or any characters from the original novel as I was not the one who wrote it, I do encourage anyone who reads this to check out the original novel)

In a broken world, Kiyotaka was born in the infamous White Room, a dehumanizing experiment secretly funded by the Valor Clan, obsessed with creating the "perfect Legacy." But when a Nightmare Gate destroyed the Asian continent, the structure that kept him imprisoned collapsed... and he finally obtained what he had never known before: freedom. Now, wandering through ruins and sins, Kiyotaka understands that freedom is not preserved through wishes, but through power. Real power. With no imposed purpose, and in a world that devours the weak, he advances in silence, searching for something the White Room never allowed him to have: a purpose of his own. A reason to live. And if finding it means conquering nightmares, facing echoes, or destroying destinies... then he will do so without hesitation. Because for the first time, his life belongs to him and no one else. - The characters in this story are not my property. Credits to their creators.
