Why… WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!"
Kai Ren sprinted through the empty streets, his breath ragged, his heart pounding like it might explode.
The city was supposed to be quiet at night.
But tonight… it felt like a battlefield.
"STOP RUNNING."
A cold female voice echoed behind him.
Kai didn't want to look.
He looked anyway.
Big mistake.
A silver-haired girl was running along the wall—yes, the wall—her movements smooth, unnatural, terrifying.
"What the hell?!"
He jumped down a flight of stairs, nearly slipping, then forced his legs to keep moving.
But she wasn't the only one.
"Kaaiii~ wait for me!"
A cheerful, almost insane voice came from the side.
A red-haired girl, smiling like this was a game, reached out toward him.
And in the distance—
Black cars.
Closing in.
"They're… surrounding me?"
Kai clenched his teeth.
"I was just living a normal life… how did it turn into THIS?!"
Then—
📱 Ping.
His phone vibrated.
Against all logic, he glanced down while running.
Congratulations. You are now Ranked #1 in the Desire Ranking.
"…What?"
And in that moment—
Everything truly began to fall apart.
