The Scarlet Mark
In the isolated village of Adaymos, shielded by the ominous forbidden forest, life is a quiet routine… until a brutal death shatters the illusion of safety. Whispers of monsters beyond the walls mix with the sudden arrival of a mysterious man from the faraway Palace. As the protagonist, Alera, grapples with a secret past symbolized by a strange mark on her arm, she finds herself drawn into a web of village intrigue, forbidden truths, and a dangerous connection with the charming outsider. Is he the key to her past, or a harbinger of greater danger?

The village of Adaymos, nestled beside the foreboding forbidden forest, lives a quiet, isolated existence. Tales of monsters keep everyone within the wooden walls, and life follows a predictable rhythm of chores and simple social gatherings.

However, this fragile peace is shattered when young Alyx is found dead just outside the village gates, his body bearing brutal claw marks. Fear grips the villagers, confirming the terrifying stories they've always heard.

The next morning, a mysterious and exceptionally charming man named Mr. Marule arrives from the distant Palace, claiming to investigate Alyx's death. His presence causes a stir, especially among the young women. As Alera, a girl marked by a strange scar on her arm and a burning curiosity about the world beyond the walls, you find yourself unexpectedly crossing paths with the enigmatic visitor. His unusual abilities and intense gaze hint at secrets far deeper than the village's isolation, setting the stage for events that will change your life forever.
