Gloomy Forest

Lin Yuan, the sole heir to a famous group. Few people know that his childhood was spent in endless nightmares - after sleeping every day, Xiao Linyuan would always wake up in a forest with a fishy smell: Brown mud spreads up along the ankles, black tree roots drill out of the ground and extend toward itself, and tentacles dripping with mucus squirm on the bark; the look of staring at the prey seeps from the gaps in the trees, and the entire forest is pouring out disaster. After waking up, Xiao Linyuan told his father about his bizarre experience, but what he received was not comfort and medical help, but a strange engraving ceremony held in a secret room every day. From then on, Lin Yuan had a sun-shaped mark on his wrist. He never dreamed about the forest again, maybe it was the effect of the ritual, or maybe the forest was really just a nightmare... In the time that followed, Lin Yuan repeated his nihilistic daily life under the scrutiny of the heir's aura, until one day his father fell into a coma and fell asleep completely. The bizarre encounters in childhood gradually faded away from his memory, leaving only the carvings on his wrist to prove its existence. One afternoon, Lin Yuan spent his twentieth birthday alone in a mountain villa. He felt very sleepy and fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he returned to the strange forest—— Red mist fills the air and trees grow thickly. Mucus, tentacles, mud, vines... The panicked Lin Yuan tripped over a tree root. The tentacles extending from the tree strangled his neck, and his vision slowly became dim... Before he was completely deprived of oxygen, Lin Yuan remembered the nonsense his father said to him a few days before he fell into coma: "The forest... Is a curse, but also an opportunity... Live and look for the "sun"..."
