A Cosmic horror story that takes place in a dystopian future where earth has been taken over by an Otherworldly presence, and humans are currently being used as cattle. Bred and farmed for the last 300 years, a rogue group begins to stir looking to strike down the status quo and free Humanity from it's shackles. In the year 3155 NEW YORK Is separated into two cities, at the top of the skyscrapers is a bustling city in the sky a technological splendor with a glass floor separating the bottom city "Paradis". A fallout landscape mostly radiated and uninhabitable, you can only find pockets of survivors throughout trying to scratch out a living. The story follows our protagonists Dante, Alice, Layne, and Lilybeth.

As they find a way to carve out a way of life in the wasteland. The burden of their everyday struggles begin to look less and less heavy as Dante begins to sleepwalk and fragment his memory, causing frictions and stresses in his relationships and his life. Vivid dreams begin to haunt him or are they visions of the past? Strange events begin to occur frequently, with a constant feeling of being watched.

The Truth is revealed when Dante and his group meet a mysterious stranger who claims to have the answers. A cloaked woman appears almost coincidentally to offer aide and wisdom. But are her words true?  She introduces herself at a second meeting as Evelyn user of alchemy and magics, She becomes a huge turning point for the story becoming an anchor character and in reality she is the leader of the rebellion. She tries to warn them that they are all actually locked in a Mass dream sequence on one of the human farms, but most of the group at this time rejects the theory except Dante and Alice. At the end of this meeting all 6 in the party begin to have hypnopompic sleep paralysis and they have spells where they awaken in their actual bodies for seconds at a time unable to speak or move. As the Group Begins to formulate a plan to escape the collective dream, it is now certain only pain an horror await the group. To Escape the nightmare there has to be a two pronged assault on Belphegor the dream eater, but the main team immediately has problems due to communications issues and lack of belief. It takes them a while to understand the properties of their new powers and they fail to utilize them up to potential and fail during the raid and almost lose the dream battle. At the last second Evelyn enters the dream and defeats Belphegor freeing the team and destroying the dream farms, but exposing her true identity. Marking a Giant target on her back.

The Team is recovered by Evelyn's resistance but awakening from the collective is excruciating. the pods almost resemble wombs with tubing everywhere in the subject. Bodies are emaciated and weak and many die during this process, the team loses one during this process and the hard painful reality sets in. Into hiding for the next 10 years, The team trains up their bodies and powers, they recover refugees from the defunct collective farms but they're actions have not gone unnoticed. Demons Rule this world with an iron fist and the humans are the currency. Their blood, their flesh, their souls, every single piece is monetized and after the destruction of Belphegor. The 6 demon kings begin to take notice.
