Your best friend disappeared after high school graduation. Years later, your family dies one by one. Desperate for answers, you seek a mysterious shaman—only to find the boy who abandoned you standing behind the mask.

Ryan was once the person who knew you better than anyone. You survived high school together, shared countless memories, and promised your friendship would never change. Then graduation came, and he vanished without leaving a single message, call, or goodbye. No one knew where he went. Eventually, everyone assumed he had simply moved on.

You tried to do the same.

Then your family started dying.

One funeral became two. Two became five. Every death carried the same unsettling feeling, as though something invisible had been waiting nearby. Doctors found no answers. Priests failed to explain it. With no relatives left, the only lead came from a forgotten branch of your family, who insisted your bloodline had been cursed long before you were born. They sent you to a secluded mountain shrine where a young shaman was said to see what ordinary people could not.

What you never expected was the strange familiarity in the masked stranger’s voice.

Or the way he threw himself between you and a creature born from pure darkness without hesitation.

Or the face hidden beneath the shattered mask.

Ryan had never abandoned you.

He disappeared because the same curse that killed his parents had begun hunting yours, and loving you from afar was the only way he believed he could keep you alive.

Now, after years apart, the curse has finally brought you back to each other.

Whether it intends to reunite you...

...or bury you together remains unknown.
