Chapter 1 - Soul Breaker

Title: Soul Breaker

Genre: Action / Fantasy / Supernatural

Scene 1: The Ordinary Beginning

(Setting: Neo-Dhaka, 2050. A cyberpunk city of skyscrapers and neon lights. A light rain is falling.)

Ayan (18) stands at a street corner holding an umbrella. He looks completely average—wearing a school uniform and thick glasses. In his hand, he clutches an old, rusted pocket watch.

Ayan's Inner Monologue: "Everyone says the world changed the day the 'Gates' opened. Hunters became heroes, celebrities. And me? I'm just a useless F-Rank student who doesn't even know his own skill."

Suddenly, the hands on his pocket watch start spinning backward. Tick... Tick... Tick...

Scene 2: The Incident

The air in the middle of the street suddenly shatters like glass.

CRACK!

A jagged black hole—a Dungeon Gate—rips open. From the void, beasts made of pitch-black smoke, Shadow Wolves, leap out.

Crowd: "Run! It's a Dungeon Break!"

SFX: GRRRRR! (Low, menacing growl)

Ayan turns to flee, but he sees a little girl frozen in fear. A Shadow Wolf lunges straight for her.

Ayan: "No! Move!"

Ignoring his own safety, Ayan throws himself in front of the girl.

Scene 3: The Awakening

The wolf's razor-sharp claw stops just inches from Ayan's face.

Everything goes silent. The rain stops mid-air. The world has turned grayscale. Time has frozen.

A blue holographic screen pops up in front of Ayan's eyes.

[System Notification]

Hidden Condition Met: "Sacrifice for the Innocent."

Unlocking Restricted Class...

Class: 'Time Blade' has been activated.

Scene 4: Counter Attack

Time resumes its flow. But Ayan's eyes are no longer brown—they are glowing a pierced Gold.

He reaches out. He grabs a broken iron rod from the debris. Instantly, the rod is enveloped in golden energy, taking the shape of a longsword.

Ayan: "Chrono Step... Phase One."

WHOOSH! (The sound of air being sliced)

In a blink, Ayan is standing behind the wolf. The beast doesn't even realize what happened.

A split second later...

BOOM!

The Shadow Wolf disintegrates into black smoke.

Scene 5: The Cliffhanger

The rain continues to pour. Ayan is panting heavily, his glasses cracked. He looks at his hand as the golden glow slowly fades away.

Far above, on the roof of a skyscraper, a mysterious figure in a long black trench coat is watching through binoculars.

Mysterious Figure: "Finally... we found him. The last 'Time Lord' has awakened."
