History[]
Local Factory Fire[]
On February 21, 2021, while a primary school visit was taking place, a fire broke out in a local factory, of unknown origin, where the flames spread throughout the structure and ended up collapsing many parts of the place. Even with the firefighters' attempts to control the situation, some workers and children ended up dying in the rubble, in addition to many leaving with burns to their bodies.
Without anyone knowing, Jairo, who was trapped in the rubble and was considered dead by everyone, survived in the wreckage out of fear that his son was dead. During the days he was trapped, he ended up finding an injured Boogeyman, where he saw his son in the creature, taking care of him. The creature ended up becoming obsessed with the idea of a father's despair at the loss of his son, deciding to kidnap the children involved with the factory.
Children's Disappearance[]
Almost a year after the fire, 7 children disappeared during the night, with the BoOgeyman creature kidnapping them all, leaving handprints on their backs before their disappearance. All of them were attended to by Dr. Wendhal, who noticed several different situations involving nightmares and knowledge that they awakened overnight, such as knowing how to read and write.
After the disappearances, Felipe Trindade, father of one of the missing children, took to obscure internet forums in search of help, contacting Ordo Realitas thinking they were government agents, in which they sent a group of recruits to confirm the involvement with the paranormal.
