Sleep by Day [Western Fantasy]

Durmi Knight is anxiously keeping a secret. By day, he is a cheerful, lively young sailor, roaming the vast oceans with his fleet and exploring a boundless world. But at night, when the last rays of dusk vanish beyond the horizon, the world he knows takes on an entirely different shape. The humorous, gentle older sailors become rotting skeletons with hideous faces and hostile hearts. The warm, close-knit fleet becomes a terrifying, uncanny ghost fleet, sailing through cold seas teeming with mutated creatures. The new continent across the ocean and the many islands scattered across the sea become breeding grounds for mysterious beings, visitors from other races, mad powers, crumbling ruins, and bloody death. He opens his eyes and, caught off guard, glimpses this blood-misted world. Without fear, he steps into it. * “For most people, this is a glorious age of geographical discovery. “But for our protagonist, Durmi Knight, it is an age of gloom, where he discovers the corpses and ruins of the old world. “The world takes off its mask and reveals a hideous, cruel smile.” (Do you like this little prank?) From *Day of Slumber: Historical Corners Beneath the Sun* * Notes 1. The story borrows some terms from real-world occultism, but they have no connection to real-world concepts. The Age of Discovery in this story does not follow the same historical course as in reality, so please do not confuse the two. 2. This is a slow-burn, long-form mystery focused on exploration and worldbuilding. Thank you for your support (bows).
