His worsening condition forces him to become a pawn in a game he was never meant to be a part of. Throwing him into doubts whether he would survive at all, and if he did, whether he would emerge the same man...or something altogether different.

Here Lies Me
"To love once beyond the veil is to never live without consequence." Five final-year magic researchers uncover a mysterious record in their academy's archives - a legend of a woman who brought her lover back from the dead. No spell. No ritual. Just love. What begins as a thesis project quickly unravels into something far older and far more personal. Their journey leads them to the edge of a forest where it never stops raining, and within it - a manor untouched by time, and a man who never died. As they dig deeper, they realize they're not just chasing a myth - they're stepping into it. This is not a story about love triumphing over death. This is a story about what happens when it doesn't.
