Synopsis
[REMARK]: This is a revised version of my previous series, Marked By The Numbers. The original remains up, but this version features deeper world-building, richer character development, and the story as it was always meant to be told. Whether you're a new reader or returning—welcome! Synopsis: Ten-year-old Kael has never questioned the strange birthday ritual his mother performs—the chalk circle, the glowing light, the mark on his back. It's just part of life in the quiet village of Oakhaven. But when a violent explosion tears through their home and a monster breaches the village boundaries, Kael's world shatters. His mother reveals a hidden truth: his father was a demon hunter who died to protect them. And now, something far darker has come to finish the job. Forced to flee into a world filled with dangers he only thought were stories, Kael must uncover the secret of the mark on his back—and why the monsters seem to want him alive. Marked By The Numbers is a coming-of-age fantasy about sacrifice, survival, and the legacy we inherit.

Chapter 1 - Author’s Note

Hello, lovely readers! 💫

Some of you might recognize this story. For those who don't—welcome! You're about to embark on a journey through Oakhaven, and I'm so excited to have you here.

For my returning readers: Yes, this is a remake of my previous series, Marked By The Numbers.

When I wrote the original, I was just starting out as a writer. The story had heart, but looking back, I knew I could do better. I wanted to slow down, dig deeper into the characters, and build a world that felt more alive. The ritual. The pendant. Kael's relationship with his mother. All of it deserved more space to breathe.

So here we are. A reimagining. A chance to tell the story the way it was always meant to be told.

If you're new here—welcome aboard. If you're returning—thank you for giving this story another chance. I promise it'll be worth the read.

The original will remain up for those who prefer it. This is simply a different vision. A deeper one.

A quick note on chapters:
