From Scratch

Despite his dead-end lifestyle, he half-heartedly decides, alongside his best buddy Zack, to take a shot at ATLAS, the most renowned and elite music academy in the country. After all, it's not like there are a ton of options left for Vyse-so why the hell not...? He might just awaken something meaningful to obsess over...instead of his own mistakes.

The school, however, quickly subverts their expectations. A shining palace on the outside, a spiderweb past the front doors-strange students, questionable teachers, and a miscommunicating staff. And then, on two different occasions, ATLAS finds itself prey to violent attacks.

Soon enough, the police and higher authorities are pulled in for a heavy investigation. an ominous energy creeps into the academy's walls. Most parties suspect that the same "nine individuals whose names you cannot speak" from the past are back for more blood. Through it all, Vyse's own past keeps surging back in sharp, uncontrollable spikes. They always appear at random-or so he believes.
Entangled in a mental and physical crossfire, the young man will have to confront his own inner burning if he wants to survive in this secluded academy while also starting a band from scratch.

But to what end when his go-to music style hits too close to the prior attacks, and more...?
