In San Diego, an object named Kaden Fawkes has a nightmare one day about several entities being around him. When he wakes up, he sees only light and no entities around him. But looking around, he sees a hole in his window. Oh, dang it, guess he'll have to spend more money, but then, he sees a blurry figure that grabs him by the hand and then shoots one of the entities that he sees in his dream, startled by the sudden bullet being triggered to launch out of the gun. It was an absolute nightmare that came to reality. The object introduces herself as Amelia Schnitzel, and introduces him about Paranormal Shifters, and Entities, and how Mark himself is wrapped in a... hold on a second... paranormal investigation? It'll take some time to figure out the full scope of these Entities, and the full scope on how these unknown nightmare beasts come to exist.
