Episode 1
Title: "The Awakening of Death"
---
Scene 1: The World in Ruins
Location: Various Places Across Earth – Transition from Day to Night
The camera sweeps across the planet — once-thriving cities now lie in ruins, blanketed in ash and debris. Crumbled skyscrapers, shattered glass, and lifeless streets stretch as far as the eye can see.
In other regions, massive, grotesque monsters roam the land freely. Their roars shake the earth. Hunters — desperate and outnumbered — wage hopeless battles with weapons that barely scratch these creatures.
Cracked television screens flicker with urgent news broadcasts:
Reporter 1: "Unimaginable destruction continues worldwide. Local forces are overwhelmed..."
Reporter 2: "Even the strongest hunters can't stop these monsters. They're losing. We're all losing."
A solemn voiceover breaks through the chaos:
Voiceover:
"This is no longer the world we knew. Light has faded... and in its place, only despair remains. As death spreads its wings, the last of humanity clings to hope — or what's left of it."

Scene 2: The Mysterious Temple
Location: Swarakshas Temple – Night
An enormous, ancient temple rises from the heart of a decaying city — majestic yet foreboding. The worn gates are covered in ancient carvings: celestial warriors locked in eternal combat with demonic beasts.
The atmosphere is thick and heavy.
A single police officer, Officer Arjun, guards the temple. His boots echo against the cracked ground. He walks slowly, flashlight trembling in his grip.
Arjun (muttering):
"Just another night shift… Just an old abandoned temple… Nothing to worry about…"
Suddenly, a faint crack breaks the silence — not from the ground, but from the sky above.
---
Scene 3: The Death Gate Appears
The wind dies. A dead silence swallows the area. Arjun's flashlight flickers violently as the temperature plummets.
Thunder rumbles low in the sky. Black clouds swirl above, blotting out the moonlight. A dark force gathers.
Arjun slowly raises his head... and freezes. Above the temple, the sky tears open. A swirling black portal forms, glowing with malevolent energy. In its center, a single red, unblinking eye emerges — burning like hellfire.
His breath catches. His limbs shake uncontrollably.
Arjun (whispering):
"W-what the hell is that…?"
From the void, a whisper rides the wind — chilling, inhuman:
Whisper (echoing):
"The prophecy... is awakening..."
The flashlight slips from Arjun's hand. Panic seizes him.

Scene 4: The Prophecy Unfolds
Arjun fumbles for his walkie-talkie, pressing the call button with trembling fingers.
Arjun:
"Central! Come in! It's happening — the prophecy… the Death Gate… it's real! It's OPENING!"
Inspector Vikram (from the other end):
"What are you saying, Arjun? What prophecy?"
Arjun (hysterical):
"The end! They warned us… No one believed it! It's real — the Death Gate is OPEN! No one's going to survive this… I don't want to die like this... not like this…"
Vikram (urgent):
"Calm down, Officer! Arjun, hold your position — backup is on the way!"
But Arjun isn't listening anymore. Tears streak down his face. He falls to his knees, eyes wide in terror.
Arjun (whispering to himself):
"I don't want to die like this… Not a death like this…"
In one last moment of hopelessness, he pulls his service weapon. His voice shakes:
Arjun:
"Forgive me…"
He pulls the trigger. Silence returns.

Scene 5: The Darkness Spreads
Arjun's lifeless body slumps to the ground. The red eye in the portal glows brighter, as shadowy figures begin to descend — monstrous silhouettes emerging from the gate.
In the shadows of the temple, a cloaked figure watches. A twisted smile curls on his lips.
Cloaked Figure (low voice):
"At last… The gate to Hell is open. The end begins now."
Cut to black.
Scene: The Rise of the Cloak Monster
(Location: Ruins of Varnak City – Midnight)
Ash falls like black snow from the blood-red sky.
A haunting silence blankets the ruins — not a single voice, not a single soul.
Skyscrapers lie like toppled chess pieces.
The earth has been torn open, streets melted into molten rivers of hellfire.
Then... a tremor.
A deep, thunderous vibration rumbles across the desolate land.
Flames erupt from cracked roads as a monstrous foot slams down.
The Cloak Monster rises into full view — a towering beast, standing over fifty meters tall, cloaked in shadows and brimstone.
His body pulses with hellfire, seeping from every crack in his thick, armor-like skin.
His chest is scaled, massive and monstrous like Godzilla's belly, heaving with unholy breath.
His claws – each finger armed with talon-like nails the length of an entire car – swing effortlessly, carving through buildings as though they were butter.
Each step he takes sends waves of flames roaring through the surroundings, melting cars, twisting metal, and reducing concrete to ash.
His eyes glow like an ocean of blood, swirling with molten golden light, radiating a hunger that chills the air.
From behind him emerge his Minions — dozens, hundreds, then thousands of shadowy beasts.
They are Darkness-Born, smaller but fast and aggressive, their power not in individual strength but in their overwhelming numbers.
The Cloak Monster does not roar. He marches.
Each step is deliberate.
Each step is destruction.
Entire blocks of Varnak City vanish in firestorms as he walks through them — the flame and heat so intense, the city is now more Hell than Earth.

Scene: High Alert
(Location: Emergency Ops Centre – 2:13 AM)
Officer Vikram, eyes wide with disbelief, stares at the satellite feed.
A red-tinted image of the Cloak Monster walking steadily toward the city center glows on screen.
He slams a button.
"All hunters within 50 kilometers — Code Crimson. High Alert. Target: Fire Mage-Class Titan. This is not a drill!"
Sirens wail. The final defenders begin to gather.

Scene: The Unknowing Hunter
(Location: Sim Hoyun's Apartment – Rooftop)
Sim Hoyun, Varnak's top-ranked hunter, lounges shirtless on a rooftop couch, red half-pants loose, sipping from a soda can with two girls laughing beside him.
Suddenly...
A strange pulse hits his chest.
His eyes go wide.
He feels a pressure — like gravity itself turned against him.
Darkness... burning... death...
He stands, eyes narrowing.
No words. Just instinct.
Sim's appearance is unique:
Jet-black eyes with pure white pupils, as if inverted by some mystical force.
Hair slick and straight like a battle-hardened rapper, oozing rebellious confidence.
He reaches into a case.
His hammer.
As large as a man, heavy as judgment.
With a chain-like strap for whirling in battle.
Forged with darksteel, it's unbreakable — a fact Sim is very proud of.
Sim: (grins coldly)
"Let's see if Hell is ready for me."

Scene: Hunter vs Horde
(Location: Outer Districts of Varnak – 3:00 AM)
The city burns red in the distance.
Sim marches alone toward the chaos.
Minions spot him and screech.
Dozens charge.
Sim spins his hammer effortlessly using the leather strap — a violent storm in motion.
With one whirling strike, he crushes a dozen Minions into the ground, their bodies exploding into black smoke and ash.
He leaps, slamming down with a shockwave that sends another wave of Minions flying.
Each strike is filled with raw power, but Sim also moves with the grace of a seasoned killer.
Dozens more come.
Sim keeps fighting — relentless.
A one-man army.
But far off, the Cloak Monster watches.
No expression.
Just a flicker of interest in his hellfire eyes.
The air thickens.
Sim looks up.
He sees the towering figure in the distance, standing like the king of the apocalypse.
Sim: (to himself, quietly)
"So... you're the one pulling the strings."
The flames reflect in Sim's eyes.
The battle has only just begun.

That's my dream story.
