Stigma: Journey Of Awakening

In a world where "happily ever after" is nothing more than a cruel fantasy, darkness festers beneath the surface of glory and power. Hidden beyond the polished halls of history are the unspeakable tragedies suffered by countless innocents—tragedies orchestrated by those who sit comfortably atop broken lives. Born into a once-gifted family now scarred by grief and madness, a brilliant boy named Pheo carries the desperate hope of saving his mother—frozen in a curse no one can explain. Raised under the weight of his father's growing insanity and society’s cruel whispers, Pheo isolates himself, diving into forbidden knowledge and secrets buried deep within ancient tomes. But salvation does not come easily. As a violent storm brews, Pheo faces a terror greater than the curse: the monster his father has become. Without warning, he is forced to swallow an unknown, violet elixir and is swept into the night—his fate sealed by hands once meant to protect him. What is the true nature of the curse that froze his mother in time? What secrets caused his father to change, and at what cost? In a world ruled by unseen horrors and lost hopes, Pheo's search for truth may unravel something far darker than he ever imagined.
