In a quiet town veiled in mist and mystery, a young man named Humelus searches for his missing family documents in the attic of his late grandfather's crumbling estate. But instead of papers, he unearths something far more chilling - a blackened, leather-bound book that pulses with heat and whispers in forgotten tongues. Its pages resemble a twisted version of the Bible... one not meant to save souls, but to unleash them.
Despite the warning scrawled in blood-red ink across the first page -
"READ AND BE CLAIMED"
- curiosity pulls Humelus in. He begins reading. On the first day, a shadow brushes his mind. On the second, a dark force claws at his feet, dragging him to the threshold of a realm unseen. But Humelus is undeterred. A part of him burns for the truth - the legacy of his bloodline.
For his ancestors were practitioners of demonology - scholars of the unholy, who sought to control demonic forces long buried beneath reality's veil. Humelus believes he's continuing their work. He believes he's strong enough.
He is wrong.
On the third night, the book awakens. And so do the things imprisoned within it.
The air turns ice-cold. Candles die. The whispers become screams. And the demons - trapped for centuries in ink and scripture - surge through Humelus like a plague. His body convulses. His soul fractures. And then... he vanishes.
That night, under the cloak of midnight, he returns - but not as a man.
Now he is something far more terrifying.
A thing of smoke and bone, draped in rags that hiss with whispers. A ghost that walks with hollow eyes and a hunger for souls.
They call him THE MIDNIGHT WALKER.
And as the town sleeps, it begins.
First the lights go out.
Then the children speak his name in their sleep.
And when the clocks strike 3:00 AM, his footsteps echo through the streets.
The world thought evil could be buried.
But evil... walks again.
Will anyone survive his return? Or has Humelus become the very doom his ancestors once tried to contain?
