The spell, it is a virus which plagues humanity and has been around for as long as half a century. And with it came the dream realm a dangerous landscape filled with horrors that not even the wildest of imaginations would have been able to make up.
It is said that if you were to visit the dream realm as a mundane human you would fall under the grasps of the spell almost instantly upon your return home.
Due to this, many legacy families take their children to the dream realm in order to guarantee their child is infected with the spell.
Sozen is from one such family, they are a smaller legacy family with only a single saint to them, and so it could easily be seen as a disappointment when Sozen went to the dream realm only to return unaffected by the spell.
He was a one in a million case, he was the only documented case of a human to be immune to the nightmare spell.
Distraught and on the verge of collapsing the family cast him out, leaving him deep in the depths of the dream realm as a normal mundane human.

Rain poured, rain splattered, the sloshing of mud grew ever-louder as the struggling girl pulled forth her liability. Far but not too far from her was a horrifying creature its visage was corrupted with protruding arms.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
She struggled, the rain turned torrents scraping away many of the muddy imperfections on her face. below was a mundane look, one that did not belong here in the dream realm.
her long greasy jet black hair stood out, it was the only part of her not painted with mud from the treacherous journey she had to endure.
trailing behind her was an injured awakened who had clearly suffered some serious injury, the black haired girl had seemingly been walking for ages yet she never gave up despite how limited her mundane stamina was.
...
she continued on, the rain became stronger swirling even faster as the girl was at the culmination of forming her soul core.
far away in a small seemingly distant forest a hooded figure could be seen, a boy who seemed to be around the age of 20 maybe older maybe younger.
he was staring intently at the young girl.
Not in the perverse way but rather he was observing her actions, he took notice of the swirls of essence forming around the plexus of her body.
he stood watch for a while until he was sure that the girl would be fine if left alone, by then she had formed her core and the man was gone leaving only the two girls and the tyrannical beast.
The girl had not noticed the guy before hand but the awakened girl did, perhaps due to their awakened senses it was easier for them to detect presences.
however it wasn't like the girl was in any state to do anything about it.
but who was that man.
