Some of those who had power took up the call, and became adventurers or heroes, fighing back the monsters. Others let their newfound powers go to their heads, becoming villains.

And a few began delving into the secrets of magic for knowledge's sake alone.But the blast that kickstarted the Awakening did more than just bring magic to the world. Twenty students, all in the same class, disappeared that day. No trace of their remains was ever found, and no one else in the building was so much as injured. People began calling them the Lost Sleepers, twenty souls who would never Awaken like the rest of the world had.Forty years after the Awakening, one of them returned.
