Bookroo's summary

In a world where urban legends become terrifying reality, a mysterious boy in a red hood appears wherever strange events unfold. As victims of these eerie occurrences multiply, questions arise: Is this enigmatic figure a beacon of hope or a harbinger of doom? With each town he visits, the line between myth and reality blurs, leaving those he encounters to wonder if he is their salvation or their end. As the boy's presence grows, so does the mystery surrounding him. Can he be trusted, or is he the embodiment of the nightmares he follows?
