The Drowned Chains

Betrayed, bound, and drowned beneath a cursed lake, a boy's soul awakens as a Yūrei-eyes glowing, smile twisted, and heart forever chained to the water that stole his life.

Trapped within the ruins of an abandoned temple, Ghost wanders among hollow statues and voiceless spirits, reliving his death night after night. The lake refuses to release him. The villagers' prayers cannot reach him. And the chains at his ankles-though long dissolved in the depths-still drag at his soul with unyielding weight.

As the other drowned gather in silence, Ghost learns the truth: the lake itself is cursed, feeding on those who perish in its black depths. There is no door. No dawn. Only the endless smile of grief and the whispers of the forgotten.

The Drowned Chains is a haunting tale of betrayal, loneliness, and eternal imprisonment-a gothic horror of a boy who cannot die and a spirit who cannot be free.
