Divided Chaos

She was adored by all. But even she didn't know what slept beneath her skin.

Maria was the golden girl of her town - graceful, kind, and glowing with promise. Dressed in elegance, raised in warmth, surrounded by admiration. Everyone loved her.

But no one knew what was sealed inside her.
Not her neighbors. Not her friends.
Not even Maria herself.

A presence stirs in her dreams - heavy, ancient, and clawed.
It watches. It waits.
And it has only one rule: Survive until the 18th year.

Her parents knew.
They swore to keep it hidden.
To protect her... or protect everyone else?

Now her eighteenth birthday is here.
And with every ticking second, the boundary between girl and beast begins to crack.

She isn't cursed.
She isn't blessed.
She's both.

⚠️ 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫:
Divided Chaos is an original work inspired by the anime Naruto, which helped shape my creativity growing up. While it echoes some thematic elements like hidden power and inner conflict, all characters, world lore, and storylines are my own creations. This is not a retelling - it's a reimagining born from love, not imitation.
