110 Pages of Dark Academia Mystery That Makes Self-Discovery Feel Like Solving a Crime

Students are vanishing. Ancient relics are awakening. And you're the only one curious enough to investigate.

For people who love dark academia aesthetics but would rather burn sage than read another self-help book.

The acceptance letter arrived on midnight-black parchment, sealed with silver wax. No application process, no prerequisites—just your name, written in ink that seemed to shimmer with its own light.

Shadow Crest Academy has been watching you. And now, they need your help.

Something is systematically draining students of their essence. Passions are fading. Dreams are disappearing. Entire personalities are being harvested by an entity known only as "The Collector."

But when promising student Celeste Ashwood gets too close to the truth—investigating ancient Academy relics that might hold the key to everything—she vanishes without a trace.

Her final journal entry haunts the halls: "These aren't just artifacts—they're catalysts. Someone is harvesting student abilities, but at what cost?"
