Sunlight bathed the bustling city streets, marking the grand opening of Verhexen Academy. The imposing structure loomed ahead, its gates wide open to hundreds of arriving students. These were not ordinary youths; each carried a curse, a permanent, negative burden affecting their powers, personality, and very existence. Yet, here, among peers who understood, they found sanctuary. A white-haired boy hurried past, umbrella raised against the sun, muttering about avoiding eye bleeds. Nearby, a pale-eyed student trembled with excitement, whispering anxiously about turning into bats. The school stood ready, a beacon for the cursed. Classes began tomorrow, but today was for exploration. Verhexen had arrived, offering a world desperately needed.
