Whispers from the Steam

Legends whisper of a hidden gold mine deep within Nine Peaks Mountain, guarded by a monstrous force that has claimed countless lives. Most who seek it never return—except for one mother and daughter who defy the fear. Soon after their arrival, a secluded hot spring inn appears halfway up the mountain. At night, laughter echoes through the mist, and water flows endlessly. Some say it’s peaceful. Others say no one ever sees what truly happens behind those steamy walls.
