In the quaint town of Eldoria, where ancient forests and rolling hills cradle a community of adventurous teenagers, a mysterious game emerges, promising an otherworldly adventure. The game involves a simple yet perilous act—applying a band-aid on the wrist to form a distinctive '/ mark' and entering a dream realm filled with enigmatic riddles. The catch is dire: failure in the dream equals real-world death, with no chance of return.

Lily Thompson, a spirited and curious girl, leads her friends into this surreal journey. As they navigate misty pathways and solve cryptic riddles, alliances are formed, and the consequences of failure loom ever-present. The challenges, however, extend beyond mere puzzles, as Lily discovers the game's true nature—a test of reality itself.

Amidst the dreamworld's uncertainties, Lily encounters a mysterious ally, Oliver, who tragically succumbs to a punishment involving a toxic concoction. Fuelled by grief and anger, Lily forms a new alliance with Maxwell, a tall and smart boy, as they strive to confront the enigmatic boss orchestrating the game.

The bandage game

The once-vibrant town of Eldoria now stood at the brink of an inexplicable demise. The cobblestone streets, which once wound through the heart of the community, now echoed with a haunting stillness. The ancient oaks, guardians of Eldoria's secrets, cast long shadows that seemed to mourn the impending loss.

As Lily and her allies delved deeper into the town's mysteries, they uncovered a chilling revelation. Eldoria, entwined with the Marked Realms in ways they could not have fathomed, was slowly succumbing to the consequences of their actions within the dreamworld.

Symbols etched into the very foundations of Eldoria began to pulse with an otherworldly energy, and the murals that once whispered stories now cried out in silent agony. The town's essence, intricately linked to the Marked Realms, seemed to wither like petals in the face of an inevitable storm.

Lily, burdened with the weight of responsibility, witnessed the signs of Eldoria's decay. The quaint charm that once defined the town gave way to an unsettling transformation. The cobblestone streets, now cracked and weathered, bore the scars of a reality unraveling at its seams.

The ancient oaks, once towering sentinels, stood like mournful specters, their leaves rustling with a lament for a town on the verge of oblivion. Shadows lengthened into foreboding shapes, as if the very fabric of Eldoria's existence was unraveling, and the once-thriving community faced an imminent demise.

In the fading light of a sun that seemed to lose its brilliance, Lily and her allies realized the profound consequences of their actions. The alliances formed in the Marked Realms, the riddles solved, and the mysteries unraveled — all had left an indelible mark on Eldoria, draining its life force in exchange for their quest for truth.

As the last rays of sunlight dipped below the horizon, Eldoria let out a final, melancholic sigh. The once-charming town, now a mere shell of its former self, seemed to dissolve into the mist, its essence merging with the fading echoes of a reality that had been stretched beyond its limits.

Lily, standing amidst the crumbling cobblestone streets and beneath the waning branches of the ancient oaks, felt a profound sense of grief. The town that had been the backdrop to her adventures was now a testament to the unintended consequences of their quest for answers.

In the silence that followed, Lily and her allies understood that they had become unwitting architects of Eldoria's demise. The Marked Realms, with its enigmatic challenges and ethereal landscapes, had woven their destinies into the very fabric of the town. As darkness enveloped the once-thriving community, Lily's journey took an unforeseen turn into a realm where consequences transcended dreams and reality alike.
