In the hidden past of Asalewa, five chosen villagers bound their souls to a powerful spirit named Malibura-each fueled by selfish desires, except one: Grandma Umami. When their wishes are granted at a terrible cost, only Umami dares to defy fate, vanishing into legend with the cursed book. Generations later, Elma, her great-granddaughter, is born in modern-day Zubari City-carrying a mysterious mark and a deep fascination with magic. Unaware of her dark inheritance, Elma's curiosity leads her to a forgotten library... and to the ancient book that once brought chaos to her ancestors. What happens when the past demands a price the future must pay? Magic. Mystery. Legacy. Blood. Enter the world Beyond the Black Pages.
