Beyond The Sixth Bell

In the forgotten mountain village of Kuroyami, people obey one terrifying rule:

“Never stay outside after 6 PM.”

For hundreds of years, the villagers believed the rule was only an old superstition meant to scare children. But when four teenagers accidentally remain outside after sunset, they witness a nightmare that changes their lives forever.

A monstrous creature known as The Hollow Beast emerges from the darkness whenever the village clock strikes six. It hunts anyone caught outside, dragging victims into a twisted world hidden beneath the mountains.

The four survivors — fearless but reckless Ren, loyal and protective Haruto, timid genius Mika, and mysterious purple-haired Yuna — become trapped in a deadly curse connected to the monster’s origin.

As nights grow darker and the creature stronger, the group uncovers horrifying secrets:

vanished villagers,
ancient rituals,
a hidden underground shrine,
and a forgotten betrayal that created the monster centuries ago.
