AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA noble teen falls into a cursed underworld, forging uneasy alliances to reclaim his shattered destiny.
When fifteen‑year‑old Oz Vessalius is thrust into the nightmarish Abyss during his coming‑of‑age ceremony, his privileged life shatters like glass. The Baskerville Clan’s betrayal drags him into a realm where grotesque beings called Chains roam, and the line between myth and reality blurs. Rescued by a stoic, blood‑stained rabbit‑headed Chain named Alice, Oz learns that the Abyss is not merely a cautionary tale but a labyrinth of forgotten sins and hidden contracts. Taken under the wing of Pandora, a secretive guild that trades in forbidden knowledge, Oz embarks on a perilous quest to untangle the tangled threads of his own past. Each revelation pulls him deeper into a web of aristocratic conspiracies, cursed bloodlines, and the enigmatic "Heart" that binds the world’s fate. With Alice’s cryptic guidance and the ever‑looming threat of the Abyss, Oz must confront the darkness within himself and the sinister forces that seek to rewrite destiny.
