Your Agony, Their Ecstasy

A book that refuses to burn... a curse that shows no mercy.
From the moment Walter tried to set the book ablaze, shadows began to seep slowly into his life. The more he tried to bury it, the stronger the curse pulsed within him, dragging him into nightmares beyond comprehension.
By day, Walter stands as a teacher to children; by night, he is torn apart by claws, his screams echoing through a realm unseen by others. With every step, his will fades, as the whispers of the shadow force him to act without thought.
But when a strange child enters the kindergarten... everything changes.
His presence distorts reality, his gaze threatens souls, and the kings that follow him remain invisible to all but those doomed to see. Torn between his humanity and the mark of the shadows, Walter faces a single choice: sacrifice his principles and become something else... or be erased.
In a world where pain is ecstasy and terror reigns supreme, every scream is heard, and every soul comes with a price.
