Chapter 5 - Chapter Five: The Missing Pieces

Edwin opened an old box he found in the manor's basement, covered in ash and spiders. Inside, torn manuscripts, yellowed papers emitting the scent of a dead era, and small bones... seemingly human.

Among them was a black notebook with dry leather, as if made from human skin.

He opened the first page and found a sentence in clear handwriting:

"To keep the gate closed, it must be fed. Three sacrifices. Three souls. Three nights."

In the following pages: names.

Edwin Blackwell

Alexander Green

He began to realize that the matter was deeper than he imagined. That he wasn't just a victim... but a key. The blood flowing in him wasn't ordinary.

It was the seal. And the curse.
