It started with a normal day. A lake. A group of friends. And then everything changed.

Shoto and his friends were just enjoying the last day of April when the world twisted beneath their feet. Now, they’re trapped in a realm where myth becomes reality, danger hides behind every shadow, and power is buried deep inside each of them — waiting to be unleashed.

But power never comes without a cost.

As ancient creatures rise, sinister forces awaken, and strange trials tear the group apart, their bond is tested like never before. Secrets are exposed. Trust begins to fracture. And every step forward reveals more about the terrifying force that brought them here.

Shoto’s power is tied to his fury. Elizabeth can heal — but only through pain. Braydon is haunted by a force he doesn’t understand. KJ faces a growing darkness inside himself. And Pate’s light may be the key to everything… or their downfall.

Together, they must uncover the truth behind the Forgotten Realm — or be consumed by it.

Friendships will be tested. Powers will awaken. Love may spark — but survival isn’t guaranteed.

The realm chose them for a reason.
But it won’t let them leave without a fight.

The Forrgotten Realm

The tension finally snapped the next morning.

They'd been walking for hours, not a word spoken between them. The trees were quiet. The air heavy. It was as if even Valoria was holding its breath — waiting for the fallout.

"I'm just saying," Braydon muttered, "maybe we should stop pretending like everything's fine."

KJ didn't look at him. "No one's pretending."

"Really? Because Shoto almost exploded and cooked us all, and everyone's just acting like that didn't happen."

Elizabeth stepped closer to him, protective.

"I'm not attacking him," Braydon snapped. "I'm being real. We've got powers we can't control, monsters chasing us, and some of us—" he threw a glance at Pate "—keep acting like this is some lightshow instead of a deathtrap."

"Say that again," Pate warned, light sparking at his fingertips.

"Enough!" KJ's voice cut through the air, louder than anyone expected. "We're not going to survive if we keep turning on each other."

Shoto turned, voice low. "Maybe we're not supposed to."

A long silence followed. Even the wind stilled.

Finally, Pate stepped forward. "I'm out. I need space. We all do."

Braydon nodded. "Good. Thought I'd never hear you say it."

"I'm not staying with any of you," KJ muttered, eyes darker than usual. "Not until I can trust myself."

And just like that… they turned.

Braydon headed west without a word.

Pate walked toward the distant cliffs.

KJ turned north, into the fog, silent.

She reached out and took his hand.

"We'll find answers," she whispered. "Together."

He nodded once, and they turned away, heading deeper into Valoria — just the two of them.

Pate wandered into uncharted land — trees twisted, sky pale.

There, buried beneath ivy and stone, he found something forgotten:

And at the end, a figure sitting cross-legged on a slab of broken marble, eating fruit like it was no big deal.

"Name's Gage," he said, smiling. "About time someone else showed up."

Pate grinned. "You're not from here either, are you?"

"Nope. But I'm starting to like it."

KJ walked alone through blackened woods. The deeper he went, the louder the voice became.

"They'll abandon you. You know they will."

Braydon came upon a broken stone gate. And sitting at its edge was a stranger — tall, calm, unreadable.

"You want strength?" he said. "I can give it to you. No rules. No guilt. Just power."

Braydon stared at him — and followed.

Shoto and Elizabeth discovered a path hidden beneath roots and vines.

Inside: a torn map of Valoria, a journal with half-translated runes…

And a massive, rune-etched key with no lock in sight.

"We're meant to find something," Elizabeth said.

"We're meant to change something," Shoto replied.
