With the weight of disappointment heavy on her shoulders, she seeks solace in the familiar surroundings of her childhood home, a hanok nestled in the heart of nature. However, what should have been a peaceful retreat quickly spirals into a series of mysterious events that shatter the calm. Minsu soon uncovers that her aunt, who disappeared without a word when Minsu was still in high school, had been involved in a dangerous pact with dark forces. Her aunt's sudden departure wasn't a simple escape—it was an attempt to shield Minsu from a curse that now seems to have followed her home. In the village, Minsu crosses paths with Kim Hyowon, the enigmatic owner of a local tea shop. His cryptic warnings and strange behavior draw her deeper into the web of dark magic that her aunt had been entangled in. As she delves into the mystery of her aunt's disappearance and the shadowy forces at play, Minsu learns that the curse is not only tied to her family but to her very existence. As she navigates the haunting truths of the past, Minsu must confront powerful spirits and unravel her aunt’s secrets in order to stop the curse from consuming her too. Alongside Hyowon, who harbors his own hidden past, Minsu embarks on a journey to uncover the truth, facing trials that test her courage and strength. But the deeper she delves into the mystery, the more she realizes that the battle is not just about survival—it’s about reclaiming her future and her identity, even if it means confronting the ghosts of her past and the sins that have haunted her family for years.

In a world where myth and reality collide, Ryu Hayashi’s peaceful life is torn apart when a legendary Beast—once thought to be nothing more than a tale—attacks his village. In the chaos, Ryu discovers an ancient, glowing mark on his left hand, a symbol that connects him to powers far greater than he ever imagined. With the Beast hunting him and his village on the brink of destruction, Ryu is forced to flee, uncovering the truth behind his mysterious mark. As he embarks on a journey that will test his strength, courage, and very soul, he learns that his fate is tied to an ancient prophecy—one that foretells either the salvation or the annihilation of both humans and Beasts. Ryu is not just a simple villager; he is the key to a hidden war between the Beasts and humanity. Alongside a band of unlikely allies—including the enigmatic Mira, a fierce Hunter, and Fiona, a mysterious scholar—Ryu must learn to harness his newfound powers, confront his fears, and uncover the secrets of the Beasts before they destroy everything he holds dear. But with each step he takes, the line between friend and foe blurs, and Ryu must grapple with a difficult question: Will he become the hero the world needs, or will he succumb to the darkness threatening to consume him? Mark of the Beast: Destiny’s Awakening is a thrilling tale of magic, destiny, and the battle for survival. In a world where nothing is as it seems and danger lurks around every corner, Ryu must face his greatest challenge: understanding his true purpose before it is too late.

In the beginning, all was dark and formless. From this formlessness arose the Dragon Saints, keepers of the elements who in unity created the world. As ninja clans were formed under each saint, conflict arose but was ended by the legendary ninja Gaiden after he defeated the evil Samurai warrior Shekan. Many centuries later, two brothers, Ryu and Michael discover a forbidden secret passage within the Temple of their village resulting in the destruction of their village. Thus begins their quest to assemble the human and dragon saints of the elements and foil the ambitions of the Dark ryu who intend to unseal an ancient evil warrior. However, as it turns out, the journey is more than a quest of vengeance and will lead to the revelation of secrets concerning the very origin of their world and an even more threatening evil.

For centuries, they existed alongside humanity—beings with shifting forms, unnatural abilities, and no place to belong. Feared, hunted, and cast into the shadows, they were seen as monsters. Demons. Not because they were, but because it was the only way humans could understand them. When fear turned to control, they were captured. Experimented on. Locked away in labs deep underground, stripped of their names, their identities, their freedom. To the world above, they were nothing more than forgotten myths. But secrets never stay buried forever. Sixteen-year-old Ryu Mikael wasn’t thinking about any of that. He had bigger problems—like the homework he forgot to do. Instead of facing another lecture at school, he decided to ditch, heading into the mountains to get some peace and finally finish his work. Away from the noise. Away from everything. Then he saw him. A stranger. Standing there, still yet tense, his head tilting slightly—watching. There was something unnatural in the way he moved, like a predator studying prey. Then, in an instant, he lunged. And Mikael’s life changed forever.
