In the Waking world, humanity seems ordinary. But when sleep falls, they unknowingly enter a realm far beyond imagination — the *Dream World*. Populated by strange species, endless landscapes, and shifting realities, it is held together by unseen forces.

Among them are the *Dremapol* — guardians who maintain peace across dreams and protect the *Inter-Dream Gate*, the core that connects every human dream into one vast, fragile network. Alongside them are the *Nertis*, silent operators who allocate and shape dreams for every sleeper.

But peace is never permanent.

Taro, a lone delinquent abandoned by the world, stumbles into this hidden realm by accident — or perhaps fate. Violent, defiant, and lost, he never imagined he’d be chosen by the very world that should’ve rejected him.

Now, with powers he doesn’t understand and enemies on all sides, Taro must decide: protect the dreams of a humanity he resents… or burn the dream world down with his own nightmares.
