St. Aurelia Academy is celebrated as the perfect school-its walls gleam, its festivals shine, and its students seem destined for greatness. But beneath the surface lies a curse. For decades, students have vanished, their disappearances explained away with lies of transfers and accidents.
Akira, a newcomer, quickly senses the shadows moving where they shouldn't. Amid the dread, he finds laughter and love with Lina, a sharp‑witted girl who dares him to see beyond the school's mask. Their bond grows even as the academy summons them into the Midnight Game, a ritual where losers never return.
In the basement, cages rattle with bones fused into grotesque shapes, and the PA system whispers: "Only one of you will graduate." As the curse tightens, Akira and Lina must fight for survival and for each other-knowing that in Maledicta, love itself is doomed.
