Chapter 1 - From Hell... To the First Encounter

🖤 Episode 1

[Scene 1 – A dark room, dim light seeping through a small barred window.]

Caption:"This is where darkness was born… and in its heart, a child who lost his childhood."

[A 7-year-old boy, trembling in a corner, bruises on his skin, eyes red from crying.]

Angry voice (from outside):"Elyar! Get out, now!"

[The door slams open violently. A tall man with a harsh, intimidating expression enters.]

The Boss:"Is this how a warrior behaves? Hiding like a rat?!"

Elyar (shaking voice):"I'm sorry... I don't want to fight..."

[A woman rushes in, crying, trying to stop him.]

Mother:"Leave him alone! He's just a child!"

The Boss (coldly):"The weak don't last in my world. Childhood? That's for the dead."

[He grabs the boy violently — a scream pierces the silence — screen fades to black.]

[Scene 2 – Caption: "Ten years later…"]

[A dark room lit by a screen's glow. A 17-year-old Elyar sits silently. Same eyes. Same silence.]

Caption:"Ten years of blind obedience… until the tears dried, and the blood cooled."

[Scene 3 – Inside the boss's office. Elyar stands expressionless.]

Boss (deep voice):"Today, I have a new task for you."

Elyar (disinterested):"And who's the target this time?"

Boss (smirking):"A girl… middle schooler. Smart. Knows how to break into systems."

Elyar (soft sigh):"What do you want?"

Boss:"Get close to her. Bring her to me."

[Scene 4 – Elyar walking to school, dressed in black. Cold expression.]

Caption:"On this path… he didn't know his next step would change everything."

[Elsewhere – Ree, a 14-year-old girl, rushing with her books.]

Ree (panicking):"I'm so late! The principal will kill me!"

[Suddenly, she crashes right into Elyar – books fly. Silence follows.]

Ree (flustered):"Ah! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! Are you okay?!"

[Elyar stares at her, then calmly picks up one of her books and hands it over.]

Elyar (coldly):"Watch where you're going next time."

[He walks off without another glance. Ree stands frozen, face red in embarrassment.]

[Scene 5 – Later that day. Elyar returns to the hideout. He sits quietly. Suddenly… the lights go out.]

[A large screen lights up – it's her. Ree's photo appears.]

Boss (off-screen):"I want this girl, Elyar... at any cost."

[Close-up on Elyar's face – his eyes widen slowly, true shock fills them.]

Caption:"Her...? No way..."

[End of Episode – Screen fades to black – "To be continued…"]
