𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒔

Soren Kieran Draven is the quintessential popular guy at his university - athletic, charming, and surrounded by friends. However, despite his outward appearance, he feels isolated and disconnected, as though he doesn't truly belong in the world he's a part of. Seeking an escape, he stumbles upon an online game centered around two opposing kingdoms - Fire and Ice. In this game, he adopts the screen name SorenFire, and quickly becomes engrossed in the fantasy world.

As Soren navigates this realm, he meets a mysterious player known only by the name Darkest Graves, a brooding presence who commands his attention with cryptic conversations and a dark, magnetic aura. Unbeknownst to Soren, Darkest Graves is actually Cassius Aziel Graves, the quiet and enigmatic "bad boy" of the university who has an unsettling reputation. A loner in real life, Cassius finds himself drawn to Soren and starts to cultivate an obsessive interest in him, fascinated by Soren's vulnerability and the way he opens up in their online interactions.

Cassius, using the information Soren shares within the game, begins to blur the line between the virtual world and reality. He starts to stalk Soren, using what he learns about him to manipulate and pressure Soren into meeting him outside of the game. Soren, caught between the thrill of his growing connection with Darkest Graves and the increasingly dangerous obsession from Cassius, finds himself spiraling into a world he can't control.

The game, which was once a refuge, becomes a battleground, asCassius's dark intentions surface, and Soren must navigate not only the emotional manipulation but also his own internal struggles with identity, love, and the ever-present shadows of his own loneliness. With each encounter, Soren is pulled deeper into Cassius's web of obsession and desire, testing the limits of their growing connection, which is as perilous as it is intense.
