He was found in the woods, green and hissing. They called him a monster. Can he become their hero?

In the peaceful village of Oakhaven, life is predictable, blocky, and comfortably safe. Until the day a woodcutter finds a baby abandoned at the forest's edge – a child with green skin, luminous eyes, and an unnerving habit of hissing like a lit fuse. Adopted by the kindly Marla and Thom, the boy named Kip grows up surrounded by love, but haunted by fear and suspicion from the villagers who see only a monster in their midst. They call him Creep-Kid.

When a misunderstanding born of fear leads to disaster and Kip is banished, he flees into the wilderness, believing himself truly unwanted. But instead of perishing, he finds an unlikely sanctuary with the Misfit Mob – Hazel, a pragmatic Witch; Notch, a sarcastic Skeleton archer; and Grub, a surprisingly endearing Zombie. Under their guidance, Kip begins to understand the strange energy crackling beneath his skin, realizing it might be more than just a destructive curse.

But a creeping 'wrongness' is spreading from the depths of The Murk, a corrupted region where reality itself frays at the edges. Ancient ruins whisper secrets of a forgotten lineage of Guardians, beings meant to protect the boundaries between worlds. And a powerful, robed Enderman Sorcerer seeks the key to unleashing chaos – a key it believes is Kip himself.

Forced to return to the village that rejected him, Kip must confront not only terrifying corrupted creatures pouring through a tear in reality but also Oakhaven's ingrained fear. Can he master his volatile power in time? Can he convince the villagers to trust their 'monster'? And can a lonely green boy, caught between worlds, embrace his destiny and become the guardian Oakhaven desperately needs?

Perfect for fans of Minecraft and fantasy adventures, The Creeper's Son is a thrilling tale of finding belonging, controlling power, and discovering that true strength lies not in avoiding monsters, but in understanding them.
