Karina pressed her hands against the window, her eyes wide with fear.
Karina: Why… why is the sky like that?
Does it… seem like the world is going to be destroyed?
A chill ran down her spine as she recalled the books they had read.
"It is promised… in the prophecies about the end of the world.
What will happen to us when those things come true?
All the dreams, all the hard work of the people who lived in this world… will disappear."
Theo placed a comforting hand over hers, his eyes steady.
Theo: Just like I told you… don't be afraid.
I know… the Lord won't leave us.

Suddenly, the dark sky flickered violently.
A mysterious circular tunnel appeared, spinning with blinding light amid the storm and lightning.
Karina's eyes widened immediately.
Karina: Theo!! Look at this!!
Theo's wings bristled.
Theo: What's going on?!
Together, they pressed closer to the window, staring at the swirling portal.
Slowly… something began emerging.
From the heart of the tunnel, a giant monster appeared.
Its immense black wings spread wide, and everything its wings touched immediately withered and disappeared—trees, street lamps, even the ground itself.
Karina gasped.
Theo's chest tightened.
Both froze, hearts pounding.

[HEAVEN]
Angels stirred in alarm, wings fluttering anxiously.
Angels: Here it is… they've begun.
The first monster… it has been sent to try to destroy the world.

[HELL]
A shadowed figure laughed, echoing through the void.
Demon: I've started the game…
You are next to rush into my chaos!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[KARINA'S HOUSE]
Theo's eyes glowed faintly with determination.
Theo: Lord… help us.
The giant black-winged monster soared closer, wings cutting through the stormy clouds, leaving destruction in its wake.
Karina's hand gripped Theo's arm tightly, heart thundering.
How could the Servant of Goodness… fight against such a force?
Lightning cracked across the sky as the portal continued to pulse with ominous light.
The battle for the world… had begun.
