Shadow Sovereign's

When 23-year-old orphan and ex-convict Leon Night wakes up inside a coffin on a train that doesn’t exist, he is no longer on Earth. He has been chosen—cursed—as one of the “Awakened,” humans dragged every night into the Dream Realm, a beautiful and merciless mirror-world ruled by Nightmare Creatures and forgotten gods. Survive seven Nightmare Trials, and you may claim a Divine Aspect: a unique, world-breaking power that brands itself into your very soul. Fail, and your soul is fed to the Realm forever.Leon’s Aspect? [Flawed] Shadow Sovereign Rank: Divine (Dormant) Description: “The throne is empty. Take it… if you can bear the weight of every shadow that ever hated the light.”The catch: the Aspect is broken on arrival. Half its abilities are locked behind “Sins” he must commit, and every use risks turning him into the very monster the world fears.This is the story of a man who was already dead inside long before the Dream Realm got its teeth in him. A man who will smile, bow, play the harmless weakling… and then burn kingdoms to ash when no one is looking.
