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 church door creaked as it shut behind them.

Morning light filtered through the trees, casting long shadows across the moss-covered stone. The group stood in silence just outside the ruined building, the air still cool and heavy from the night before.

They looked around — a quick glance, a hopeful check-in.

"He was with us," Pate muttered. "When we split. We all went separate ways."

"No one's seen him since," Elizabeth whispered.

KJ glanced into the woods. "What if he didn't make it?"

Brandon gritted his teeth. "He made it."

But before the thought could land…

The air changed — colder, sharper.

And from the forest came a low, guttural growl.

And then it stepped into the clearing.

Its body scarred from the last battle, but stronger now. Eyes glowing like molten stone. Breath steaming in clouds of black mist.

KJ threw a shield of dark energy — the Hollowfang slammed through it.

Pate blasted a beam of light into its side — it howled but didn't stop.

Shoto launched a spear of compressed flame — it staggered but charged again.

Elizabeth ducked behind a pillar, pulling Gage and Riley with her.

The monster surged forward — slashing, growling, relentless.

And for a moment… it looked like it might win.

Shoto, KJ, and Pate stood shoulder to shoulder — battered, backs to the church wall, power flaring wildly as the Hollowfang lunged one final time.

Behind it, katana dripping with black blood, stood a figure cloaked in mist and calm fury.

Just looked at the monster's corpse, then up at his friends.
