Back & Forth

A young man, plagued by an ongoing streak of bad luck that has persisted throughout his life, starts to find a reason to live in another world each time he sleeps.

The NIGHTREALM.

A vast and seemingly unending world of quaint towns and unforgiving gods.

But although unforgiving gods can spawn and die like weeds in spring, the world is not in danger; a futuristic megacity the size of a continent could be destroyed in an afternoon, while a fantasy medieval village in the mountains would simply go about its days.

The Nightrealm is an impossibly vast place; oceans that dwarf planets and entire worlds dot the world, and mega-continents of unfathomable dimensions sprawl the Nightrealm infinitely.

Between millions of miles of untamed wilderness, space, ocean, or lands where nature bends in impossible ways for the sake of it, hovels, villages, towns, cities, countries, and nations form to match its unbelievable scale.

As for the randomness and the logic that the nightrealm presents, its inhabitants are not helpless to its maw.

There are Aspirants, people who have worked hard to stake their claim against the world.

To firmly grasp the rules of reality and bend them using their will.

And using their will as a foothold, they can strive for greater power, like magic.

Then there are Dreamers.

In their fight against the reality of the world, only the ones furthest from sanity have the audacity to shatter reality and impose their perfect world in its place.

Our main character, June, is a nightwalker.

An uncommon type of person who drifts between the mundane and night realms.

When he first woke up, he was brought into a warzone.

A war against a single god.

A war that was inconsequential in the splendor of the Nightrealm.
