Cast out by society and stripped of dignity, Elias Crowe is a young man the world has already decided is worthless. Homeless, jobless, and deeply scarred by years of neglect and cruelty, Elias no longer believes in kindness, trust, or mercy. The streets have taught him one lesson only: suffering is endless, and no one is coming to save you. On a violent night beneath a brewing thunderstorm, Elias makes a wish—not for redemption, not for escape—but for shared damnation. If the world insists on tormenting him, then let every soul he meets feel the same agony he has endured. As sleep overtakes him, lightning fractures the sky, and something ancient listens. When Elias awakens, reality has shifted. The storm never truly ends, and the people around him begin to unravel—physically, mentally, and spiritually—drawn into private hells shaped by their deepest guilt and fear. What begins as coincidence soon reveals itself as a curse bound to Elias’s fractured soul. As the line between victim and monster dissolves, Elias must confront a terrifying truth: the suffering he wished upon the world has rooted itself within him. And the more pain he spreads, the less human he becomes. This is not a story about redemption. It is a descent into how loneliness breeds evil, how hatred becomes power, and how the most terrifying monsters are not born—but made.
