It was an ordinary day when 90 percent of the world’s species fell asleep at the same time.
Those who fell asleep became trapped in their obsessions, which formed dream realms that devoured reality. Beyond the towering walls, purple fog spread and monsters ran rampant. The people who remained awake formed the Dream Management Bureau, guarding humanity’s last city and waiting for a dawn that might never come.
Lu Chen could see the dream masters’ obsessions, enter their memories, and help those trapped in dream realms let go of their regrets and wake up. For a time, he believed that if he understood people well enough, there was no dream he couldn’t guide them out of.
Until he discovered that some people chose to fall asleep.
Until he discovered that some people took pleasure in the suffering of others.
Until he discovered that the one behind it all was no demon, just a husband hoping to reunite with his wife and daughter in a dream.
The believers said: Reality is a sea of suffering. Dreams are our true home.
The fighters said: No matter how painful reality is, we must stay awake.
When the endless night falls, when dreams feel more real than reality, when the people you love are all waiting for you in a dream…
Will you choose to wake up, or stay?
