Huff… Huff…
Lex shot up in bed, drenched in sweat. His chest heaved, eyes wild.
"No…" he gasped, clutching his blanket like it was a lifeline. The dream still lingered—those eyes, that sky. That thing.
He scanned the room. The ceiling. The window. The light of dawn creeping in. It was just a dream… right?
Lex: "What was that…?"
Scene Shift — The Morning Calm
Steam filled the bathroom. Water trickled down Lex's skin as he stood under the showerhead, head tilted back, finally starting to breathe again.
Lex (narrating):
"My name is Lex… and I live in NOYROM.
A world so massive, it could swallow the stars."
He smiled slightly, wiping the mirror clean to see his reflection.
Lex (grinning):
"And today… today is the day.
The beginning of my never-ending journey to become—"
Scene Shift — A Blade in the Morning
A different corner of NOR.
We see a girl—Luo—tying her long hair into a ponytail, adjusting her adventure gear with fierce determination in her eyes.
Elsewhere…
A silver-haired boy with an aura of danger moves through the morning fog, katana in hand. His name is Lon. The very definition of 'handsome'—and deadly.
He moves with elegance and power, sparring with his friend Rulo, blades clashing with blinding speed.
Rulo (panting):
"You're going, aren't you? The adventures…"
Lon (smirking):
"Well yeah. Life's boring.
I want to fight strong opponents…
and become the strongest in this world."
Rulo (muttering under breath):
"…Idiot. No one can actually become that."
In an instant—
The air turns cold. Darkness flickers behind Lon's eyes.
Only his glowing purple irises remain visible…
And for a moment—Rulo is cut in half.
But no blood.
Rulo drops to the ground, untouched but sweating, gasping for breath.
Rulo:
"W-What was that…?!"
Smoke slips from Lon's lips.
Lon (calmly):
"Oops. Couldn't hold back.
But I did hold back a little… You're welcome."
He sheathes his blade.
Lon:
"Well, I'm off. See ya."
Rulo (still stunned):
"Wait… Lon. You're really going?"
Lon:
"Yeah. Thanks. Take care of the dojo."
Rulo (smirking weakly):
"After nearly killing me?
Fine. Go live your dumb dream.
I'll be waiting to see you become… the STRONGEST."
Lon chuckles.
Scene Shift — The City of NOR
A stunning view of NOR—the capital city. A perfect harmony of ancient nature and futuristic stone. Floating islands glimmer in the sky above.
We see Lex walking down a sunlit path. He glances back at a photo frame on the table. His mother and father. But… their faces are hidden in shadow.
Lex (quietly):
"I'm off."
Elsewhere, Luo steps out of her home.
Luo (smiling):
"Time to begin."
And in the distant fields, Lon tightens the belt on his sword.
Three strangers.
Three dreams.
One massive world.
And the journey… has just begun.
