Chapter 2 - Nemor's Past

Scene 1: Flashback – Hunger and Rejection

(The sound of heavy breathing fills the silence. The camera focuses on a skinny, dirty boy with empty eyes. Nemor, only five years old, walks barefoot down a street of cracked concrete.)

Nemor (whispering, holding his stomach)

"I'm hungry... I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

(Around him, children play with water guns. Nemor approaches, hesitant. One of them looks at him with disgust.)

Child 1

"Hey, don't come near, you demon!"

(Other kids whisper among themselves.)

Child 2 (covering their nose)

"What a horrible smell... I bet his parents never gave him a bath."

(Nemor lowers his head, swallowing hard. He turns away and keeps walking, too weak to respond.)

Scene 2: The Home That Never Was

(Nemor enters his home. The place is small, dirty, and messy. He sits on a tattered couch. The door slams open. Renata, his mother, walks in with a look of pure disgust.)

Renata (shouting)

"What do you think you're doing sitting on MY couch, you little brat?! Get out before I kill you, you demon!"

(Nemor stands quickly, frightened.)

Nemor (hesitant)

"M-Mom... Why are you saying that to me?"

(Renata laughs sarcastically, her eyes full of hatred.)

Renata

"Mom? Did you just call me Mom? What are you thinking? I'm not your mother! Having you was a mistake! If I had the chance, I would have aborted you without a second thought! Got it?!"

(Nemor stands frozen. His eyes fill with tears.)

Renata (with a cruel look)

"So don't call me mother!"

(She raises her hand and slaps him hard across the face. Nemor falls to the ground. The screen goes black.)

Scene 3: The Present – The Deadly Game

(The darkness fades. The game is underway. Nemor stands, surrounded by his group: Kamirei, Ryria, Assuku, and Ryrina. They are in a wide, empty area.)

Kamirei

"Guys, stay calm! Everything will be fine! As long as we stick together, it'll be okay."

(Nemor watches everyone in silence. His eyes carry something dark.)

Nemor

"So... the game has no rules, right?"

Kamirei (confused)

"That's right."

Nemor

"And the fewer players, the bigger the reward, right?"

Kamirei (hesitant)

"Y-Yes... You figured that out quickly..."

(Nemor smirks.)

Nemor

"Then... I guess I'm going to kill you."

Kamirei

"W-What?!"

(In the blink of an eye, Nemor uses his absurd speed and blood manipulation. Kamirei's head explodes, blood splattering across the ground. The other three players freeze in terror.)

Ryria (trembling)

"M-My God... What did you do?!"

(Nemor charges forward. With his speed and super strength, he decapitates Ryria, Assuku, and Ryrina within seconds. Their bodies fall lifelessly to the ground.)

(Covered in blood, Nemor looks at the corpses. He takes a deep breath and smiles maniacally.)

Nemor

"No one will stand in my way. Every player who gets in my way... will die."

(He turns around, walking calmly.)

Nemor (whispering)

"That money will be mine."

(The camera pulls back, showing the carnage. The screen fades to black.)

Scene 4: Revild's Group

(Darkness gives way to a new scene. In another part of the game, Revild, Takimira, Otakura, Alya, and Sasha walk together. Silence reigns until Otakura speaks.)

Otakura (arms crossed, serious)

"Just so you know... don't get in my way. I hate weak people."

(Revild, always cold and serious, glances at him.)

Revild

"And are you strong, Otakura?"

Otakura (frowning, defiant)

"Are you underestimating me, brat?"

(Revild shows no reaction, just keeps walking.)

Revild

"Don't worry. My goal is to get the money."

(The group continues walking. The silence is broken when a mysterious figure appears atop a building.)

(A towering silhouette stands out against the sky. Red hair, piercing red eyes, and two curved horns. Their voice echoes across the space.)

Mysterious Figure (smiling)

"Players... this is going to be fun."

(The camera focuses on their enigmatic smile. The screen fades to black.)
