the kind of place where people stop looking at the sky. The air is always grey. Signals appear in the atmosphere that nobody can explain. People go missing every year, and somehow the news always moves on before anyone asks too many questions. Noir Astrea is seventeen and already exhausted with life. Bad grades. No sleep. No real direction. He spends most days trying to survive school and ignore the feeling that something about the world is wrong. Then the dreams start getting worse. Not normal nightmares — the kind that feel like memories. Around the same time, a transfer student named Felix Astreon arrives at school. Quiet. Strange. Red eyes that don't look human when the light hits them wrong. And wherever Felix goes, things start happening. A student disappears from the art club without a trace. Shadows move where they shouldn't. People begin acting like they're hearing things no one else can hear. One night, while searching a sketchy website his friend sent him, Noir accidentally finds something hidden underneath the surface of the internet — a place that should not exist. Files. Recordings. Medical documents. Lists of missing children. Evidence of a human trafficking operation connected to an isolated island called Isla Negra. The deeper Noir digs, the worse it gets. Politicians. Corporations. People with money, power, influence. All connected somehow. And then he discovers something that scares him more than anything else on that website: It already knows who he is. As paranoia spreads and reality starts breaking apart around him, Noir gets dragged into something far bigger than missing people or conspiracies. Something tied to strange entities, buried experiments, and truths humanity was never supposed to uncover. And Felix knows more than he's saying. BLACK AWAKENING is a psychological sci-fi horror story about corruption, fear, memory, and the moment someone realizes the world they trusted was fake long before they were born.
