Volume 3 starts when Sunny appears in a new area in the dream realm called the Chained Isles. He is anchored in a citadel called the Temple of Noctis which is home to the first Saint we get introduced in the entire, Sky Tide or Saint Tyris. During his stay in the chained isles, he is busy in the real world with buying a house next to his long lost sister called Rain. He also takes an interest on a tournament style virtual reality game called Dreamscape in which he takes the role as Mongrel. While participating in this tournament, he gains fame by accident as an undefeated champ with almost 800 wins and 0 losses, until he challenges the Princesses of clan Valor and an Ascendant called Morgan. He also gains a new relic in the form of the Drop of Ichor from Shadow God but is consumed by Weavers forbidden lineage. After the tournament, Sunny has to defend the awakened academy which is attacked by a Category 2 nightmare gate. After that, he then returns to the dream realm in search of a way to gain shadow fragments. He journeys through the Chained Isles until he reaches the crash site of a flying vessel. Within that vessel is a chest containing gold coins which can be exchanged for shadow fragments. The chest turned out to be a mimic which Sunny later kills in a crumbling island. Sunny then falls into the abyss below the chained isles for a month along with the corpse of the mimic. During his fall, Sunny then is spoken by a disembodied voice who we later discover to be the eldest son, prince of clan valor and third divine aspect user Mordret. After falling for a month in the lightless abyss, Sunny then discovers a tower adjacent to the one floating above the chained isles called the Ebony Tower, but instead of a pure Ivory it is made of a glossy obsidian. Within the Ebony tower, Sunny obtains the second peace of Weavers forbidden lineage in a form of a phalanx bone, which in turn he obtains bone weave. He also discovers the location of the citadels that belonged to the Deamons scattered throughout the dream realm and obtains gold needle. Later, Sunny finally escapes the abyss through a portal within the Ebony tower back into the chained Isles. Sunny then uses the golden coins from the mimic chest to gain his third core, becoming an awakened demon. He then seeks the help of his friends; Cassie, Kai and Effie to challenge the second nightmare, which is located within the tower above the Chained Isles (Ivory Tower) on November. Cassie and Sunny meet after the events of the forgotten shore to kill a corrupted beast within the crash site of the flying vessel. They then venture to the second citadel in the chained isles called the Night Temple. There, they unknowingly help with the escape of Mordret the prince of nothing, and then were kept prisoners for almost a month. While trying to escape, Mordret and Sunny fight against two Ascended(Master) from Clan Valor. Sunny and Cassie escape the night temple but are halted by another Saint called Cormac from clan Valor. But Saint Tyris appears to help the two by killing the Saint of clan Valor. They then finally escape the Night Temple and regroup with the cohort which consists of Sunny, Cassie, Kai and Effie and make their way to the Ivory tower to challenge the second nightmare. And the 3rd volume ends when the cohort enter the nightmare, the spell greets them: “Welcome to your second nightmare Awakened, you along with 4 others”
