The Soul King

In this gripping first chapter, we meet Allen, a young boy marked by an unusual and terrifying affliction that sets him apart from the world around him. Allen introduces us to his life in a quiet, close-knit village, where everyone is familiar yet he’s always felt a haunting sense of isolation. Through his voice, filled with bitterness and exhaustion, Allen shares his belief that he was born cursed a belief rooted in a horrifying experience from his childhood. At just eight years old, Allen's life took a sinister turn when he first encountered his “curse.” As midnight struck, he was overcome by a force beyond his control. Paralyzed and helpless, he felt his body taken over, lifting from the bed as if by dark magic. With no voice to cry for help, Allen found himself trapped in a waking nightmare. Is Allen truly cursed, or is something even darker at work? Only time will reveal the answers.
