MoonBound

Ren Park was just an ordinary high school student living in Busan, South Korea-until a mysterious Moon Pool hidden within a seaside cave changed his life forever.

After accidentally falling into the ancient waters, Ren discovers a secret that will alter his future: whenever water touches him, he transforms into a merman. Forced to balance school, family, friendships, and a growing connection to the ocean, Ren must keep his new identity hidden while uncovering the truth behind the Moon Pool and the powerful magic it contains.

But Ren isn't the only one whose destiny is tied to the sea.

When his best friend, Jun-ho Kim, becomes entangled in the Moon Pool's ancient power, the two friends are drawn into a forgotten war between Guardians and Dragons-a conflict buried beneath the ocean for centuries. As monstrous creatures emerge from the depths and an ancient Dragon stirs within its prison, Ren and Jun-ho must learn to control their powers, protect those they care about, and face enemies far older than either of them imagined.

Alongside their loyal friend Min-jae, the trio uncovers lost underwater cities, forgotten legends, and secrets hidden beneath the waves. But as the Dragon's chains begin to break and the final battle approaches, they discover that destiny may have chosen them for a far greater purpose than simply surviving.

Filled with friendship, adventure, mystery, magic, and the power of the sea, MoonBound is the story of three friends whose lives are forever changed by an ancient force lurking beneath the ocean-and whose journey is only just beginning.
