The One Who Rules the Night

The One Who Rules the Night
Trapped in a secluded village hidden within a forest, Milena yearns for her twentieth birthday—the day she's finally allowed to hunt and escape the mundane routine of cooking and cleaning. But as the day approaches, the village leader, Charles, grows more secretive, and a terrifying incident reveals a truth far darker than Milena could have imagined. When a creature of the night is captured and held captive in the tunnels, Milena's curiosity leads her to a terrifying encounter that shatters everything she thought she knew. Now, as the veil between their world and the creatures' is torn, Milena is thrust into a fight for survival, facing ancient secrets and the chilling reality of the one who truly rules the night.

Every day in the secluded village was a monotonous cycle of chores and rules, all centered around staying safe from the creatures that roamed the forest after dark.

Milena, nearing her twentieth birthday and the promise of finally joining the hunters, felt the weight of the routine pressing down on her.

Today, however, was different. The hunters returned early, their faces grim, and Charles, the village leader, ordered everyone into the tunnels immediately.

A chilling sense of dread settled over the village. Something was wrong.

Later, safe within the tunnels, whispers of a captured creature spread, a beast with red eyes chained deep underground. Driven by a forbidden curiosity, Milena decided she had to see it, a decision that would unravel the carefully constructed safety of her world.
