Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Awakening of the Crimson Soul

Rehani was Bangladesh's top model-her fame soared sky-high. With her long black hair, impeccable fashion sense, and unparalleled beauty, she ranked among the most popular models in the country. Her face, every outfit, every style became a headline in magazines. Fans across the country followed her, and in the world of modeling, her popularity was unmatched.

One day, Rehani was on her way to a fashion show, traveling through a central road in Dhaka. It was a strange morning, where the streets were unusually calm, but as the cars sped up, the weather began to shift. Suddenly, a truck lost control and came hurtling toward Rehani's car. In a horrific accident, Rehani got trapped inside the vehicle and died.

Her death spread across TV and newspapers. People couldn't believe that the nation's top model-someone thousands would line the streets to catch a glimpse of-was no more. Her sudden end sparked rumors and superstitions. Many asked, "How could someone so beautiful, someone who had reached such heights, be taken by death so easily?"

But then, strange things began happening. After her death, some of her acquaintances claimed to have seen her-ghostly yet unmistakably Rehani. One after another, they started saying that even in death, her presence could still be felt, as though she had returned in a new form.

Was Rehani's death truly an accident, or had some dark power brought her back to life? Was her return a harbinger of danger for humanity-or had she become a new entity, meant to change the world?

In that same shift, we see a scene: Rehani lies dead in the center of a grand, palace-like mansion. The house radiates a mysterious and otherworldly atmosphere, as if it exists in another dimension or timeline. At the heart of this house is a massive table, and on it lies Rehani's body.

At that moment, a young man enters. His face is hidden, but the sound of his footsteps and the echo of his shoes suggest that he is a powerful and mysterious being. His face may be revealed later, at the story's crucial turning point. He walks slowly toward the table and stands near Rehani's lifeless form.

The young man gently smooths her hair with his fingers. He pauses for a moment, as though paying a sacred tribute. Then he places his hand softly on her cheek, as if mesmerized by her beauty. Leaning in, he kisses her forehead. Instantly, an invisible energy seems to ripple through the air.

Then he slowly bends toward Rehani's neck-as if searching for something, or perhaps trying to bring her back. Strange symbols flicker in his eyes, hinting at supernatural powers.

Two days later, Rehani suddenly wakes up. Disoriented, she feels something odd within herself. Just then, a butterfly appears in front of her. When she touches it, she senses something strange. Confused, she looks around and sees a mirror. She walks up to it and stares.

She's stunned by her reflection. Her eyes-once black-are now a blood-red hue. Her hair has turned an ashy color. A haunting thought pierces her mind: "What is happening to me?"

A terrifying unease swells in her chest. She can't stop crying. Deep down, she knows this transformation marks the beginning of a new chapter. But was she ready for it? Could she ever return to a normal life? Her eyes begin to darken as a shadow spreads inside them.

Rehani is completely lost. There's an odd sensation in her throat-an overwhelming hunger rising inside her. She can't think straight; all she knows is that she needs to eat. She tries to step into the sunlight by opening a window, but the heat burns her skin and worsens the discomfort. She quickly shuts the window.

Then she notices a glass filled with a red liquid. Without thinking, she grabs it and drinks. A strange calm washes over her-but also confusion. It tastes... wrong. Looking again, she realizes it's blood.

Her face twists in horror, and she vomits.

She never imagined this. Her body, her mind-everything had become a mystery. But now she must make a choice: what will she do with these terrifying changes?
