N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E
A game that a group of teens once made up one night when they were bored. And it’s the kind of game where nightmares come to life. The game was created to ease boredom, to find something to do, but it soon led into something that became a matter for survival. Well, from midnight to dawn, it’s all about survival. In order to ensure protection, silver bracelets with a special kind of liquid that signifies that only those part of the game are allowed to be touched. Children, women, and even men who aren’t wearing the bracelet are free from the game. N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E, at first, didn’t pose a real threat. It was just a kind of virtual reality; however, now as time passed by, it actually became a reality. If people die, they die. No questions asked about it. Once a person has accepted the terms of the game, there was no going back and the person’s family must accept their death.
Within the game, once a person ‘levels up’, they develop an ability that will allow them to survive a bit longer. When they reach the highest level, they become marked by one of the Four Symbols (of the Chinese constellations): Suzaku of the Vermillion Bird, Seiryuu of the Azure Dragon, Byakko of the White Tiger, and Genbu of the Black Tortoise. When a person is marked with one of these symbols, it means that they are deemed as one of the strongest within the game - and the most likely opponent of one of the thirteen Noah.
The goal of N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E is clear: fight, survive, and reach the ARK.
ARK
ARK is a program that ends N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E. It has been developed by the original plotters so that once someone reaches the goal, everything will end forever. However, once the Noah had gotten their hands on it, they reprogrammed it so that the nightmares will actually become real, solid. Something that can actually kill. The ARK is the only key to ending it all. But there’s a catch to who is allowed to activate the program. Only one of the Four that has been marked is allowed to activate it and reprogram it. With that, the one who is able to activate the program will be known as the Musician.
Noah
A group of thirteen people who had managed to grab hold of the ARK and reprogrammed it to make nightmares become a true reality. No one knows how they truly look like, other that they have gray skin and gold eyes. The Noah are said to be the strongest of them all. They are players within the game, being the ones to reinvent it, but they do not directly take part in it. They stick to the shadows as the other players fight; however, if there’s something that interests them, they will take part in it.
Monsters that occasionally show up:
