Anime Character Waking Up From Nightmare

Nate had never been special. No grand destiny, no hidden potential—just another soul trying to survive in a world that had nothing to offer. But fate had other plans. When the world was shattered by the arrival of the Nightmare Realms, humanity was forced into a desperate fight for survival. Monsters lurked in the darkness, and the only ones who could resist them were the Chosen—those marked by the Nightmare itself and granted strange, unpredictable powers. Nate never wanted to be one of them. Thrown into an unfamiliar world of horrors, betrayals, and relentless battles, he must fight to endure. But the power he was given is not a blessing—it is a curse, one that whispers in his mind and threatens to consume him from within. To survive, he must uncover the truth behind the Nightmare Realms, the reason for their existence… and the dark secret buried within himself. Because in this world, death is not the worst fate. And the Last Nightmare is only beginning.

They say life’s full of plot twists—well, Bai Xiaotong’s life is more like a plot pretzel, twisted in all the wrong places. After centuries of fighting in dungeons that suddenly descended into the Murim World, she thought she'd earned a peaceful retirement after moving to another planet. Yet, after buying a dimensional ticket to cross realms, she ends up face-to-face with an even bigger disaster. Goodbye, dungeon gates and loot drop. Welcome to a world crawling with walking deads! Where each bite turns the living into rotting husks of undead. "I bought a wayfarer item to peacefully retire in another human world, not to clean up another horde of monsters! Do I look so bored to change places just to go hunting?! I didn’t sign up for this mess—” she grumbles, dodging a zombie horde. Why does it feel like she was attracting every apocalypse in the multiverse? Where’s the peaceful world she paid millions of cosmic credits for? Wait, did she pay for a doomsday subscription instead and was auto-renewing?! Damn. How could she end up in a dumpster fire, filled with weak humans who can’t even handle brain-dead corpses in a trance? “Seriously, how does anyone lose to that?” But in reality, it’s not the monsters and weak humans that are giving her gray hairs—it’s the fact that... “AHH! Why does my stomach keep on growing? Darn, it hurts, I think it’s going to explode!” “Ow shi— did I peed myself?” No. Wait, what the hell? Someone tell her, it wasn’t her water! The apocalypse? She can handle that. But childbirth during an apocalypse? That's a whole different level of nightmare. “Hey, you can’t come out yet!” This is insane. At least wait until she figures out where’s the father, ah! --- WSA2025 Entry

Damian Mercer never believed in fate. He barely believes in anything at all. His life is a cycle of empty nights and restless wandering—until the nightmares start. Until the statues move. Until a silver-eyed stranger appears in the dark, watching him with something close to longing. Cassiel was once an angel, a guardian meant to protect Damian. But when he defied Heaven to save the boy meant to die, he fell—erased from existence, forgotten by the very world he swore to protect. Now, Heaven and Hell are hunting them both. And worse, something far older stirs in the shadows. Azrael, the god of endings, was never meant to wake. But Damian's survival has shattered the balance, and the world tilts toward destruction. With time running out and forces beyond comprehension closing in, Damian must make a choice: accept the fate others have written for him or carve out a destiny of his own. But gods do not sleep easily. And some things should never be woken. A dark, supernatural tale of sacrifice, love, and defiance—To Wake a God is perfect for fans of The Shadowhunter Chronicles, The Locked Tomb, and Heaven Official’s Blessing.
