Fourteen Manhua

Title: Fourteen In the small town of Willow Creek, an eerie legend loomed over the locals for generations. Every year, on the fourteenth night of the tenth month, a mysterious figure known simply as "The Wanderer" would appear in the mist-shrouded woods. Rumors whispered of The Wanderer's ability to grant wishes to those brave enough to seek him out. But with each wish granted, a sinister price had to be paid. The town's folk spoke in hushed tones of loved ones lost, dreams turned to nightmares, and souls forever tormented. Fourteen-year-old Emily was drawn to the legend, her curiosity sparked by the tantalizing prospect of altering her fate. With a heart full of yearning and secrets untold, she ventured into the forbidden woods on the fateful night of the fourteenth. Guided by the pale moonlight, Emily navigated through the gnarled trees until she stumbled upon a clearing bathed in an otherworldly glow. There, standing tall and enigmatic, was The Wanderer, his eyes gleaming with unknown knowledge. Trembling but resolute, Emily uttered her wish, her voice barely above a whisper. The Wanderer's gaze bore into her soul as he silently assessed her plea. Without a word, he extended his hand, offering to fulfill her deepest desire. In that moment of truth, Emily hesitated, recognizing the weight of consequence that hung in the air. The bitter taste of fear mingled with the allure of possibility, forging a decision that would shape her destiny. As the clock struck midnight, a choice was made, and the woods echoed with the whisper of a wish granted. The Wanderer faded into the shadows, leaving Emily to face the aftermath of her decision, the evolution of fear etched into her young heart.
