Chapter 1 – The Call of Darkness
"Some powers don't come to us…
We have to pull them in.
And sometimes, the price is… your very own soul."
The sky was covered with dark clouds.
Cold wind was brushing against Aura's face.
He stood alone, staring at his own shadow.
A strange blue line was glowing in his palm—a mysterious light no ordinary human should possess.
(Inner Monologue)
"Mom… Dad…
If you were here today,
would you have let me become like this?"
There was no sadness in Aura's eyes.
There was only—rage.
His fist clenched tightly.
Suddenly, Uno approached silently from behind.
Uno (softly)
"Get ready, Aura.
From today, your real trial begins."
Aura lifted his glowing blue eyes.
Uno, his trainer, looked more serious than usual today.
His clothes fluttered in the wind, and there was something hidden in his eyes—something unspoken.
Aura (in a low voice)
"Trial? How many more times?
How long do I have to live in the shadows, Master?"
Uno stepped forward and placed his hand on Aura's shoulder.
Uno:
"Until you become the shadow itself.
That's the law of this world.
No one cares about the weak.
And you…
You have something no one else has."
A strange chill ran through Aura's body.
He knew his power was different.
But the cost of that power…
He still didn't understand.

Scene Cut – Night Vision
The moon disappeared behind the clouds.
Right in front of Aura, a crack opened in the ground.
The earth was tearing apart—black lines spread like veins across the soil.
A Dungeon Gate appeared before him.
Blue and black energy clouds were swirling out of the gate.
Uno (whispering)
"This is the Gate of Shadows…
Opening it means changing your fate.
But remember, Aura—every gate asks for a price."
Aura closed his eyes.
The blue line in his hand now spread across his entire arm.
His palm glowed intensely.
Shadow Energy was now rushing through his veins.
(Inner Monologue)
"I won't be afraid.
I will avenge what I've lost…
Even if I have to become the darkness itself."
