Haunted Peak

For high schooler Miko, the mountain was never just a piece of land—it was his birthright, the only constant in a life rapidly falling apart. Raised on the expectation that he would one day inherit his grandfather's cherished peak, he finds himself adrift when that future suddenly feels hollow. At school, he occupies the lowest rung of the social ladder, a silent observer watching his crush slip away into the arms of his own friend. With every hallway snub and cafeteria slight, the mountain called to him as the one place where his failures couldn't follow. But even that sanctuary is now under siege. A stranger has appeared on the slopes—a man whose face remains hidden behind a mask, methodically erecting a small cabin amid the pines. With each hammer strike and fresh timber, Miko's last refuge is being carved into something foreign, something not his own. The quiet trails that once absorbed his bitterness now echo with the unsettling sound of an uninvited presence. Who is this interloper? What claim does he have to the peak? And as Miko watches his grandfather's legacy being rebuilt by another's hands, he must confront a bitter question: if he cannot hold onto the mountain, what does he have left?
