Akira – Original Timeline
The wind howled across the broken cliff as Akira stood up, brushing dust from his torn uniform. His breath still ragged, his mind raced through fragments of the Void. That voice… it wasn't just in his head. It knew him.
He looked down at the half-collapsed city—Tokyo's remains flickered with unnatural energy.
He clenched his fist.
"I won't let this world fall apart."
Suddenly, he felt it. A pulse. Not from the Earth—but from a person.
Far away, another gifted one had awakened.
"Time to find them."
He turned, vanishing into the storm.

Kuroo – Alternate Timeline
Kuroo stood in the heart of a shattered temple now claimed by flame. The once-holy site was now charred and soaked with blood. Before him knelt a man twice his size, covered in obsidian armor and bearing a scorched crest—a War Monk from the lost Sect of Zorin.
"You should've submitted," Kuroo said coldly.
"I'd rather die a warrior than serve a demon."
Kuroo tilted his head, disappointed.
"Funny. I'm not giving you a choice."
With a flick of his finger, tendrils of void-energy crawled into the monk's skin. His screams echoed, then stopped.
Kuroo exhaled calmly. "Three down. Seven to go."

The Observer.
It watched the divergence of fates and the growing cracks in the balance.
"They think they're the center of the storm," it whispered.
"But the storm has only begun."
Behind it, thousands of eyes blinked open in the dark.

Akira – Nightfall
He approached an abandoned metro station. Static buzzed in the air.
A boy leaned against a wall inside, eyes glowing faintly blue, surrounded by floating shards of glass frozen in time.
"You're the one," Akira said.
The boy raised an eyebrow. "And you're late."

Kuroo – Same Moment, Different World
A hooded girl knelt before Kuroo, her hands bleeding from ritual cuts. Dark sigils floated in the air as her eyes glowed violet.
"I summoned what you asked, Master."
A creature made of pure shadow screeched into existence behind her.
Kuroo smirked.
"Let's see how strong my army can get."
