Akira had always cherished the magic of Christmas-the sparkling lights, joyful carols, and the warm promise of a festive season. But when his parents depart for a business trip in America, leaving him alone in a quiet town blanketed with snow, the holiday takes a dark and unexpected turn.
Reports begin to surface on JBC Broadcasting about a horrifying transformation: Santa Claus, the once-beloved symbol of generosity, is no longer delivering gifts. Instead, he has become a relentless hunter-with a sinister agenda targeting every child, both the good and the naughty.
In a nightmarish twist that shatters the traditional divide between well-behaved and mischievous, every child is now on his deadly radar. As eerie images and chilling reports flood the media-a mysterious photo of a Santa with a dark, haunting visage and a child's face crossed out in anguish-Akira realizes that this is not an isolated incident, but the beginning of a relentless holiday terror.
With each passing moment, the festive cheer fades into a palpable dread. Desperate to uncover the truth behind this malevolent transformation, Akira must confront his deepest fears and unearth dark secrets that blur the lines between good and evil. In a world where the sanctity of childhood is under siege, the hunt spares no one.
This Christmas, when every jingle of a bell might signal the approach of a merciless force, Akira must race against time to survive a holiday where even the purest hearts are not safe.

And my story has just begun.❞ ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ ✾ Maharani Akira Singh - the one who was as invincible as the Goddesses that lounged above.
