Episode 1 — "Shadows of the First Hunt"
Cold Open — A World in Flames
FADE IN:
EXT. ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD — UNKNOWN ERA — NIGHT
Mountains crumble under the weight of beasts the size of continents. Warriors cloaked in divine light strike with godlike weapons.
A single, hooded warrior stands alone — blade flashing as it severs a wing the size of a city.
A distorted voice whispers through static:
"The First Hunt… was never completed."
Act 1 — Six Weeks Later
EXT. GUILD CAPITAL — MORNING
Xavier walks through the bustling streets, now known as the Godslayer. But the thrill of the Sky Tyrant Dragon's fall has faded.
KAI (tossing him a sealed envelope):
"Guild Master wants you upstairs. This one's gonna be heavy."
INT. GUILD WAR ROOM
A huge, ancient map sprawls across the table — glowing beast sigils across entire continents.
GUILD MASTER:
"The Dragon was a guardian. Something killed the rest of its kind — and now they're coming for us."
A red sigil on the map blinks and vanishes.
"That was an A-Rank city. Gone in under a minute."
Act 2 — Frostwraith Expanse
EXT. BLIZZARD WASTELAND — DAY
The Hunter fleet descends over a frozen ruin. The sole survivor stumbles forward:
"It… wasn't a beast… it was a man."
Snow swirls violently — and the Cloaked Hunter appears, twin scythes dripping with frost.
CLOAKED HUNTER:
"The gods you hunt were chains. I'm here to break them all."
HUD pops up:
XAVIER — Level 25 → Limit Break Engaged
Their clash sends arcs of golden and crimson light tearing through the blizzard — until the Cloaked Hunter vanishes, leaving only a bloodstained hunter's tag.
The name engraved: Xavier's mentor.
Act 3 — The Hunt's New Path
EXT. HUNTER AIRSHIP — SUNSET
Xavier grips the tag, eyes cold.
KAI:
"If he's taking down Hunters like this… we're not ready."
XAVIER:
"Then we get ready."
From the clouds ahead — a frozen fortress carved into a glacier: Frostwraith Citadel.
Ending Tease
INT. FROSTWRAITH CITADEL — NIGHT
The Cloaked Hunter kneels before a massive throne of jagged ice.
A shadowed figure with silver eyes and a crown of horns leans forward:
SHADOW KING:
"Bring me the Godslayer. Alive."
