Wake Up To Reality X After Dark

In a world eerily like our own, the unthinkable happens: a mysterious System suddenly integrates into everyday life.

It reshapes society, creating opportunities for some and chaos for others. Kaito Sora, a struggling part-time worker, wakes up to find the System activated in his city. With no remarkable talents and barely enough money to get by, he’s at the bottom of the social ladder. But when he receives a mysterious personal quest—one no one else seems to have—his life takes a dramatic turn. “Quest: Achieve Perfect Integration. Reward: ???” As Kaito navigates the strange new world, he realizes the System’s secrets run deeper than anyone imagined. Why was it introduced? What happens to those who fail their quests? And why does his integration level differ so much from others? With society hanging by a thread, Kaito must decide whether to become a pawn of the System or rise above it to uncover the truth behind its existence.

Amid a looming civil war against the Imperial Household and its allies, dark forces and old enemies converge to plunge the empire into ruin. Burdened by the knowledge of these problems and the constant assassination attempts on his life, he eventually met a rogue called Wriggler, who revealed to him a truth that may have solved the greatest mystery of his life. That he might not be human, but something far more—terrifying! Join Troan on his journey as he strives to become the ideal Ancestor's Chosen; a 'Lord of Avalon'. While still holding ambitions to one day build up a nation in his own image. Despite both goals requiring contrary values, making them mutually exclusive. ——— "But...why would you tell me all that? Why inform me of all this?" Wriggler snipped off some hair and said. "Because I knew you would eventually find out something was wrong—that you were different." He said with a soft smile. "That you would feel lost and alone, and I would really hate seeing you suffer. But now you can take solace in the knowledge that though you may be different, you are not alone. You are one of us." Troan's eyes grew distant for a moment, and then he closed them. "Thank you." He muttered.
