Aralith

A mysterious island discovered on the internet quickly turns into a nightmare for people from different backgrounds who arrive in search of adventure. What initially seems like a peaceful getaway filled with exploration soon drags them into a desperate fight for survival. But here, nature is not the greatest threat.

In the Heart of the Ocean, a Forgotten Land: Aralith Island

A lone stretch of land, nearly erased from maps—Aralith Island.

This was not a destination known for luxurious resorts or bustling tourist attractions. On the contrary, it was an enigma. Information about the island was scarce, limited to a handful of cryptic comments circulating on obscure corners of the internet. Some described it as “a paradise of untouched nature, hidden caves, and forgotten trails.” Yet, few who had set foot on its shores ever returned to tell their story.

And it was this very mystery that drew in a diverse group of strangers, each seeking something different.

• Two sisters who made it their tradition to embark on a new adventure every year.
• A family looking to spend a few peaceful days immersed in nature.
• Four university friends in search of an unforgettable experience.
• Two siblings, bound by loyalty yet vastly different in character.
• A lone traveler, venturing into the unknown.

Each of them had come for different reasons. Some sought escape, some sought thrills, and others simply wanted a break from reality.

The nearest coastal town, a quiet seaside village untouched by mainstream tourism, served as their last stop before the island. There, they met a man who called himself a guide. He offered to take them to Aralith by boat, assuring them that the journey would be worth it.

The trip across the ocean was long and exhausting. But when they finally arrived, the breathtaking scenery before them convinced them they had made the right choice.

For the first few days, everything was perfect.

Golden sands. Crystal-clear waters. Lush, emerald forests. The island was just as mesmerizing as the few images they had seen online. Their phones had no signal, but no one cared. They had come here to disconnect from the outside world, to immerse themselves in nature.

But as time passed, a creeping unease began to settle in.

Something about this island was wrong.
