An international high school teenager named Shouichi Desterling often idled away his time, letting his thoughts run rampant with a wild imagination. However, those intrusive thoughts were well-contained within his mind. Following the recent passing of his father, Shouichi was transferred back to his hometown, Kurohashi, to live with his long-separated mother — the only family he had left. Kurohashi is a secluded small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance and a minuscule population of just 5,000, the village harbours an oddity: the only way in or out is via a gloomy steel bridge. Not long after his arrival, Shouichi quickly bonded with his classmates, experiencing the semblance of a normal high school life and even finding love. Yet, amid this ordinary existence, he began seeing and feeling inexplicable “things.” Were these strange occurrences mere tricks of his mind, or was there something truly sinister lurking in the shadows? As events unfolded, Shouichi found himself increasingly unable to suppress his mounting insanity and the dark urges creeping into his thoughts. Each day, the air around him grew denser and heavier, as though the very atmosphere bore the weight of an unseen menace. ------------------------------------------------------- Visit the Link below for the Cast Card with a short description/ the Character Drawings/ Chapter Complimentary Images: https://linktr.ee/joeing25 Currently contained: Shouichi, Ayane, Shinji, Emi, Momo, Misaki ------------------------------------------------------- ~ Thank you for reading! ~

In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a world nestled beneath the great, towering peaks of the Silverthorn Mountains, ancient secrets and untold magic thrive. The inhabitants of Eldoria, a vibrant tapestry of humans, elves, and dwarves, live in harmony, drawing their strength from the enchanted ley lines that flow beneath the earth. However, a tremor has disturbed the peace—a rift has opened, casting dark shadows over the once untouched valleys. The story follows Aric, a young cartographer with dreams of exploring the world beyond his village of Lynwood. Fascinated by the legends surrounding the Silverthorn Mountains, he often finds himself daydreaming about the hidden wonders that lie below their snow-capped summits. One fateful evening, while mapping the hidden caverns that surround Lynwood, he stumbles upon a hidden entrance that leads him deep into the heart of the mountains. As Aric descends into the cavernous world below, he discovers a realm of luminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the subterranean light. Here, he meets Althea, a spirited elf with an affinity for nature, who guards the ancient knowledge kept within this hidden sanctuary. Together, they uncover the truth about the rift—a sinister force known as the Umbral Shadow has emerged, seeking to erode the natural balance of Eldoria. As Aric and Althea venture deeper into this enchanted world, they encounter mythical creatures: wise old dragons that breathe magic instead of fire, mischievous sprites that can shift forms, and ancient guardians bound to protect the secrets of their realm. With each friendship forged and challenge faced, Aric learns the value of courage, friendship, and the importance of preserving the harmony of nature. The journey intensifies as rumors spread of the Umbral Shadow rallying its forces in an attempt to harness the ley lines for its own dark purposes. Aric must rally the inhabitants of Eldoria, bridging the divides between the different races. With Althea by his side, they inspire the dwarves of Ironclad Forge and the elves of Silverleaf Hollow to stand against the impending doom. In a climactic showdown, the heroes confront the Umbral Shadow in the Crystal Cavern, where the ley lines converge. Using their newfound alliances and the ancient magic of the land, Aric and Althea lead a united front to reclaim their world. In the throes of battle, Aric realizes that the map he has been creating is not merely a guide to the land, but a tapestry woven with the fates of all its inhabitants. Ultimately, the power of unity, courage, and hope triumphs over darkness. As the rift closes and peace is restored, Aric emerges from the mountains, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. He returns to Lynwood, not just as a cartographer, but as a hero destined to share the wonders and stories of Eldoria with generations to come. Friendship, unity, courage, the balance of nature, and the importance of understanding one another across differences. In "Below the Mountain," adventure beckons under the earth, and young heroes discover that true magic lies not only in power but in the bonds we forge along the way.

It was supposed to be a new beginning—fresh faces, towering mountains, and the promise of untamed horizons. But the world doesn’t always play fair. The snow-covered peaks held secrets, ancient whispers that pulled at the edges of reality. A frosted gaze, a frozen heart. A fleeting warmth that lingered, only to unravel. The air was heavy, the nights restless. I was unlucky. A quiet campus turned labyrinthine. Paths twisted into trails where footsteps vanished, and in the silence, shadows became more than just absence. Questions followed like echoes: What am I? What do I belong to? And why does the sky feel too close and too far all at once? A frostbite that never healed. A cliff's edge that wouldn’t let go. A hand reached out—divine or cruel? Each step forward pulled deeper into the unknown, where gods didn’t walk, but fragments of them did, fractured and wary, watching. The world isn’t broken; it’s just no longer whole. Beyond the mountains, among the clouds, lies a story unwritten, where reality bends and belief becomes the weight that anchors existence. But the question is simple: Can you bear the cold?

Every night, I fall asleep, and each dream feels more real than the last, more vivid, more... alive. At first, I thought I was imagining things.

Rei, a young man trapped in a world different from his own, is reborn once again, with fragmented memories of past lives that are as elusive as they are painful.
