Kingdom Hearts: The Sleeping Darkness is a story that circles around a Keyblade master named Xounar, and a supposed myth called "The Sleeping Darkness". The story is set in Castle Oblivion more than 50 years after the events of Kingdom Hearts II.

Beginning
More than 50 years after Sora, Riku, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy saved the Realm of Light from danger, the heroes that fought so hard to save the Realm of Light are considered nothing more than legends. Not much has changed since then, either.

In the world Radiant Garden, a Keyblade master named Xounar lives a life of fighting heartless and the occasional nobody. Many people in the Radiant Garden consider it normal to have him and his Keyblade (called Demon's Art) around. Despite being a Keyblade master, Xounar is not a very nice person, and battles heartless just for the fun of it. His Keychain is from the Realm of Darkness, and that makes him worse than what he is to begin with.

After years of what Xounar considers to be a boring life, a man shows up in a Gummi Ship from an unknown world. Instead of wielding the Keyblade, the man that visits is full of stories about his adventures to and from other worlds. Towards the end of his storytelling time, he tells a story about a power so vast that it was locked away in a place where nobody could find it. He called the mysterious power "The Sleeping Darkness". Xounar becomes interested and asks where the power might be, and what he could do with it. The man laughs and says that the power is in a place of "departure", and that it's nothing more than a made-up myth to joke about. Xounar becomes even more sure that it actually exists, and when the man decides to leave the Radiant Garden, Xounar wishes to go with him. The man agrees and drops off Xounar in a seemingly desserted place full of hills and meadows. Xounar immediately starts exploring, and after a few hours, he finds a large castle. He gets the feeling that this is what the place of "departure" is.

Arrival at Castle Oblivion
Xounar enters the castle, and immediately a figure in a cloak appears through a Corridor of Darkness. Xounar asks who the figure is, and the figure replies that his name is Ezonar, and that Xounar needs to leave. The Keyblade master says that he is not leaving and that he wants to look around for "The Sleeping Darkness". The figure who addressed himself as Ezonar says that will not happen, and he engages in a fight with Xounar. Ezonar uses highly advanced telekenitic abilities during the battle, but Xounar still defeats him easily. Ezonar says that if Xounar continues, there will be too many consequences, and that all of the worlds will suffer. Xounar doesn't care and raises his weapon to finish Ezonar off, but Ezonar walks through a Corridor of Darkness in less than a second. Xounar is surprised, but he decides that finding "The Sleeping Darkness" is more important than finishing off the entity known as Ezonar. Xounar finds a world card lying on the floor, and begins his quest through Castle Oblivion.
