The night was unusually quiet.
The city lights flickered beneath the dark sky, yet an invisible tension filled the air. It felt as if something was about to happen—something unnatural.
Rahat stood alone on the rooftop of his building, staring up at the sky. A cold wind brushed past him, sending a shiver down his spine.
"Why does it feel so strange tonight…?" he murmured.
Suddenly—
The sky cracked.
A deep, thunder-like sound echoed across the city as a massive black sphere began to form above the clouds. It slowly expanded, swallowing the surrounding light, turning everything darker.
Rahat's eyes widened.
"What… is that?"
People in the streets started to panic. Some screamed, others ran. Cars stopped in the middle of the road as chaos spread like wildfire.
Then, from within the black sphere—
A roar.
A terrifying roar.
The portal shattered open, and a monstrous creature leaped out. Its body was covered in shadow, its glowing red eyes scanning the city like a predator searching for prey.
The ground trembled as it landed.
"Monster…?" Rahat whispered, frozen in fear.
The creature let out another roar and began destroying everything in its path. Buildings cracked, glass shattered, and people ran for their lives.
Rahat took a step back.
"I need to run…"
But just as he turned—
A small white rabbit appeared in front of him.
It floated slightly above the ground, glowing faintly, its blue eyes fixed on Rahat.
Rahat blinked in shock.
"A… rabbit?"
Then it spoke.
"You have been chosen."
Rahat's heart skipped a beat.
"W-What…?"
"The Shadow Power has awakened," the rabbit continued calmly. "And now… it belongs to you."
Before Rahat could react, a strange energy surged through his body. His right hand began to glow with dark, swirling power.
Pain shot through his veins.
"Aaah!!"
He fell to his knees, clutching his hand as shadows wrapped around his arm like living beings.
"What is happening to me?!"
"Accept it," the rabbit said. "Or you will die."
Rahat gritted his teeth. The pain was unbearable, but deep inside, he felt something else—
Power.
Raw, overwhelming power.
Slowly, he stood up.
At that moment—
The monster stopped.
Its glowing red eyes locked onto Rahat.
For a second, everything went silent.
Then—
The creature charged toward him.
Rahat raised his trembling hand, shadows swirling violently around it.
"I… I won't run anymore."
The air trembled.
Dark energy gathered in his palm.
And as the monster closed in—
Rahat unleashed his power for the very first time.
