A realm, intersected with the human plane, is inhabited with 'shadows', the existence of which remained unknown to the world - and even the shadows themselves weren't aware of the fact that they existed in different realms.
Victims are considered hosts of parasites- the shadow demon. Fortunately, most shadows are weak and prefer the casual stalking of their host. It has been observed are able to suck life essence from their host, particularly by fucking up their host's life. The impact that the shadows hold is immense as they gradually break down the mentality and morals of a person through various means, such as mind control. Taking on a physical form to manipulate social life has also been suspected.
Catheris Orial - a 26 year old designer who specializes in plain suits and leads a basic, day-to-day life - becomes incidentally roped into the convergence between the human and shadow realm by his own 'delusions'. However, he does have quite the involvement with his family history, which extends back to a small island off Virosiad, the mainland, located in the middle of the sea. Where his ancestral roots originate from - is named Deliamois, known for its mysterious setting as it had only been unveiled a few decades ago when the fog around it disappeared, with no trace of it online whatsoever besides a few pictures taken from Virosiad.
Something is wrong, undeniably wrong as the dreams he's been having get more and more obscure in their nature. After a few dream-occurrences transpire in Catheris's basic, boring life, he realizes that the dreams' contents may be slipping into reality sooner than he had actually thought - a possibility he didn't think possible even with undeniable evidence. The source of the dreams oddness and the shadows that came along with them trace back to where it all started in the living world.
There's a certain 'thing' with its prying eyes on him, and him only.
In conclusion, the man is fucked; literally and metaphorically.

New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
