CURSED VALLEY Synopsis. Title: "Cursed Legacy – The Rise of Zankura" Genre: Dark Fantasy, Psychological Horror, Supernatural Action Tone: Gritty, Emotional, High-Stakes (Blends "Attack on Titan" devastation with "Death Note" mind games) SHORT SYNOPSIS (Teaser Version) When a fragment of Zankura—the Universe Devourer—crashes onto Earth, it triggers an explosion that kills Ryan’s parents. Adopted and raised in tragedy, Ryan soon learns his very existence is tied to Zankura’s awakening. Now, he must lead a team of cursed warriors, each battling their own demons: Ayazaki, a living weapon forged from Zankura’s blood; Kaito and Kyren, brothers bound by vengeance; Mahi, the trickster warping reality; and Lyra, the healer haunted by her past. But as they fight, a terrifying truth emerges—their powers are eroding their humanity. To defeat Zankura, they must walk the razor’s edge between salvation and destruction. And some curses are meant to consume, not save. DETAILED SYNOPSIS (Expanded Version) The Cataclysm Begins Ryan’s Tragedy: His parents’ "accident" was no accident—it was caused by a falling fragment of Zankura’s body, detonating like a nuclear blast. Orphaned and adopted, Ryan grows up unaware that his latent "Ancient power" is what drew Zankura to Earth. Ayazaki’s Torment: Created from Zankura’s blood, Ayazaki is a being of pure destruction. His only solace, Ivara, dies in an Ancient’s attack—a betrayal he unknowingly caused. Now, his "Oblivion Mode" threatens to erase everything, including himself. The Cursed Team: Each member battles their own curse: Kaito & Kyren: Stepbrothers bound by a vow of vengeance, their bond as fragile as their sanity. Mahi: A reality-bending trickster whose jokes hide a mind fracturing under paradoxes. Lyra: A healer whose powers stem from a past failure she can never undo. The War Against the Devourer Zankura is not just a monster—he is the embodiment of despair, feeding on humanity’s darkest emotions. As Ryan’s team fights: Psychological Horror: Ayazaki hears Ivara’s ghost whispering. Ryan’s transformations cost him his memories. Mythological Curses: Witches, asuras, and demons emerge, each tied to humanity’s collective nightmares. The Ultimate Choice: To defeat Zankura, Ryan must embrace his Ancient power fully—risking becoming a monster himself. The Final Battle In the climactic showdown, the team realizes: - **Ayazaki’s power could erase Zankura—but also himself.** - **Ryan’s evolution may sever his last ties to humanity.** - **Victory won’t undo their scars.** The story ends not with pure triumph, but with **a fragile hope**—and the question: *Can cursed souls ever truly be free?* --- ### **HOOK LINES (Marketing Punch)** - *"Zankura awakens. Their curses are the only weapons. Their souls are the price."* - *"A team of broken warriors vs. a god who feeds on despair."* - *"Some monsters are born. Others are made."* --- ### **KEY THEMES** 1. **The Cost of Power:** Every ability comes with a curse—will they lose themselves to save the world? 2. **Betrayal & Ghosts:** Ivara’s death, Ryan’s hidden past—love and lies are intertwined. 3. **Mythology of Pain:** Curses are born from human suffering, reflecting real-world legends. **Style Note:** Use **visceral, cinematic language**— - *"Zankura’s flesh-fragment struck Earth like a dying star, burning away Ryan’s future."* - *"Ayazaki’s hands, stained with Ivara’s blood, still reach for her ghost in the dark."* --- ### **TWITTER PITCH (Ultra-Short Version)** *"Ryan’s birth woke Zankura. Now, he leads cursed warriors to fight him. But their powers are eating their souls. Would you save a world that made you a monster? #DarkFantasyAnime"* This version keeps the **core conflict (Zankura’s threat, the team’s curses, Ryan’s destiny)** while removing the brother subplot. The stakes remain personal and apocalyptic. Let me know if you'd like any refinements!

BLOODCAPE

“Heroes killed my parents. Now I wear the mask of one. Until I can bury them all.” At seven years old, Hernan Vale watched his parents — two powerful heroes — brutally executed in their own home by the very people they trusted most: the legendary super-team known as the Zodiac 13. They thought he was dead. They made sure the world blamed villains. They covered their tracks. But Hernan survived — and never forgot. Ten years later, under a false name, Hernan enters the prestigious Hero Academy, hailed as a prodigy. To the world, he’s a rising star. To his classmates, he’s charming, calm, unstoppable. But inside? He’s a weapon. Waiting. Smiling. Counting names. As he trains to become a licensed hero, fights real villains, and rises through the ranks, Hernan plays the long game — earning the trust of the Zodiac, learning their routines, studying their weaknesses. One by one, he’ll bring them down. And this time, he won’t hide in the closet. But the deeper he goes, the more blood he spills — the more he wonders if he’s becoming worse than the monsters he’s hunting. And when love, loyalty, and lies collide, Hernan may have to decide: Will he save the world like they think he will... or finish burning it down?
