At the heart of the forest stood two ancient bamboo stalks, their leaves aligned in perfect opposition, as though guarding an invisible mirror of magic. Legends whispered that whoever passed between them would step into a realm where the gods themselves listened. For twenty years, King Logan and his beloved wife, Queen Celina, endured the sorrow of childlessness. Their palace echoed with silence, their prayers rose unanswered-until the night of the red moon. That night, the gods finally blessed them with a son. His name was Freddy. From the moment he opened his eyes, destiny marked him. For though he was a child of promise, he carried a curse: whoever looked upon his face, save his parents, met death. So Freddy grew up behind masks-layer upon layer of concealment to protect both himself and those around him. He learned to live in the shadows, hidden from the kingdom that should have celebrated him. Yet fate has a way of breaking through chains. Deep in the forest, Freddy discovered the ancient bamboo stalks once more. Between them shimmered a gate, alive with otherworldly energy. Drawn by a force he could not resist, Freddy stepped through-and found himself in another world. There, beneath skies unknown, he met a young woman named Katrina. And from that moment, his story truly began.
