Dream-Zero: Born from a nightmare called reality

In a world where dreams shape power, those known as Somniarchs manifest reality-warping concepts born from their sleep, visions fueled by desire, fear, and trauma.

When a quiet high school student named Rei triggers a catastrophic anomaly without even knowing how, the world takes notice.

Branded an unregistered threat, Rei is taken by a secret government division that monitors Somniarch activity. But Rei is different. Unlike others who draw power from dreams, he cannot sleep without reliving a nightmare, one where his sister nearly drowned, his parents died, and a nameless entity first whispered to him.

That entity never left.

As Rei is pushed toward his limits in a world that classifies people by danger level, he faces a truth far worse than imprisonment:

His power does not come from dreams... but from something awake.

When survival demands a choice, Rei is offered a pact known as The Covenant, a bond that grants terrifying power at the cost of his mind, his autonomy, and eventually his humanity.

Because in this world, dreams don't save you.

They consume you.

And some nightmares are never meant to end.
