Soulbound Pact

A gifted outsider is marked for sacrifice in a town where reality bleeds into a nightmare realm ruled by an ancient, slumbering god. To survive, he forges a cursed bond with a rogue guardian—tying their lives, pain, and sanity together. As he uncovers the truth behind ritualized terror and hidden pacts, every step forward costs him a piece of his humanity. With sanity fraying and monstrous forces closing in, he must master the rules of a world that trades hope for power, and love for survival. This is a harrowing journey of sacrifice, brotherhood, and defiance against cosmic horror—where becoming the monster might be the only way to save everyone else.
