Species: Black Void

Family: Sleep Demon

Risk level: Medium

Weaknesses: Low amount of sleep

Description: Very unusual sleep demon due to its form. Most other sleep demons take for themself appereances that vaguely look like animals or humans. This one doesn't resemble any living thing, rather than that looks like a tear in space leading to endless void.

It can randomly attach itself to any being that has basic self-consciousness and usualy manifests itself to people seeking knowledge beyond what they should know. It shows itself when in deep sleep and preys on its victim's life energy. It is a slow proccess but with its presence can cause other effects. Sometimes its victims can perceive something beyond what's on its surface and learn something that they never should had. This can cause mental instability, schizophrenia and deattachment with reality.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Even though it is a sleep demon it can be repelled by lack of sleep or complete absence of it. When someone doesn't provide this demon with required energy it will move on to another person. Unfortunately, it cannot be destroyed or killed but will only exist as one instance at the time.

Personal notes: "Very interesting object of attention. At first it doesn't seem to be alive in any sense or form but after observing its patterns we can definitely tell that it can, in some manner, select its victims. Or perhaps something is influencing its appearances. For now we can't tell for sure but recently we managed to get our hands on an individual that is affected with Black Void. Maybe we can manage to learn something from it?" Paranic Halun, member of School of life essence
