Shadow Slave
Growing up in poverty, Sunny never expected anything good from life. However, even he did not anticipate being chosen by the Nightmare Spell and becoming one of the Awakened - an elite group of people gifted with supernatural powers. Transported into a ruined magical world, he found himself facing against terrible monsters - and other Awakened - in a deadly battle of survival.

Reaper's Crow
As soon as the strange crow appeared, Sunny was ready to kill it. Summoning the Moonlight Shard would have only taken a split second, and a swift strike of his armored fist was going to do the job just as well.
If it was an ordinary bird, of course. Which he seriously doubted.
He did not expect the crow to speak, though.
"Sah-nee! Sah-nee!"
'...Is it calling my name?'
Sunny temporarily postponed his plans of killing the crow and stared at it for a bit. The crow tilted its head and stared back.
"Sah-nee!"
He blinked, then shifted his vision and looked into the bird's soul. Sunny expected to see an orb of repulsive darkness, but what he saw instead were two radiant cores. The crow was an Awakened Monster… however, it was not a Nightmare Creature.
'Is it an Echo, or am I losing my mind? Again?'
He hesitated for a little while, then said cautiously:
"Yes, I am Sunny."
