Based on recorded events that were never officially explained.
The fifth body carried a message.
It wasn't a threat.
It wasn't a warning.
It was a list.
Names.
Specific dates.
People who were still alive.
At first, everyone believed it was just another act of cruelty from a disturbed killer.
The fifth body carried a message.
It wasn't a threat.
It wasn't a warning.
It was a list.
Names.
Specific dates.
People who were still alive.
At first, everyone believed it was just another act of cruelty from a disturbed killer.
Until the first name was crossed out.
Then the second.
Then the third.
And then the city realized the impossible:
the deaths were happening exactly as they had been written.
Some tried to run.
Others asked for protection.
Some began living surrounded by police.
Nothing changed the outcome.
Because the man behind the mask - the one who came to be known only as the Masked Man - always seemed to know exactly where to find them, and how to reach them.
As fear turns friends into suspects and strange symbols begin appearing connected to the murders, Alice discovers something even more terrifying.
The last name on the list belongs to the one person she cannot lose.
And when you know the day someone will die...
how much are you willing to sacrifice to stop it?
Desperate to prevent what seems inevitable, Alice begins walking a path where ancient secrets, forbidden beliefs, and forces many people prefer to pretend don't exist start to intertwine.
But some truths demand a price.
And the closer she gets to the answer, the clearer it becomes that the masked killer isn't just choosing victims.
He is fulfilling something.
Something that began long before the first death.
Something that seems to watch the city through symbols and shadows.
And when the final name on the list is finally reached...
there may be nothing left to save.
Because some stories can remain buried for years.
Until someone is brave enough to tell them.
