Black Mark

Black Mark The seas are cursed. When the Black Mark appears on someone’s skin, they die the moment the sun sets. To most, it is only a death sentence… but in truth, the Black Mark is far more than a curse. It is the gateway to an ancient magical world hidden behind the veil of the sea. This is the story of Mikael, a young pirate who loses everything in a single night , his ship, his crew, and his captain, who falls victim to the Black Mark. With only two survivors beside him , an old mage and a mysterious girl , Mikael discovers a shocking truth: his captain might not be dead… but trapped within that very world. Determined to find him, Mikael sets sail into seas far more dangerous than pirates and storms. In this era, reality itself has fractured , the realm of the Black Mark has been bound to Earth, pulling heroes, villains, and legends from history into its oceans. Yet Mikael is no ordinary pirate. His father came from Earth, while his mother belonged to the Black Mark’s realm. He is the child of two worlds , and perhaps the only one who can walk between them. As Mikael unravels his bloodline, the truth of the Black Mark’s world, and the schemes of the immortal, fourth-wall-breaking Green Skeleton, he realizes his journey is more than a quest for survival. It is a battle against fate itself , one that spans seas, worlds, and the edge of reality. The first arc sets the stage. The real adventure is only just beginning.
