[Scene 1 – The Ritual Begins: Ravik's Secluded Hideout]
Inside a deserted, dark cave — Ravik sits, a blue soul-flame burning in front of him.
Liona's heart and mind are laid out in front of him, on top of a black lotus.
Surrounded by — the souls of 7 Academy students that Ravik had already trapped with soul seeds.
> Ravik (slowly chanting):
"All of you… were only my stepping stones…"
"But you, Liona… you will be the door to my 'progression'."
He enters cultivation — a ritual where:
The souls of the students begin to meld into his Soul Core.
Liona's brain gives him unprecedented mental stability and strategic edge.
And her heart elevates Ravik to new heights of emotional immunity and energy.

⚡ [Scene 2 – Breaking Through: Rank C ➝ Rank A]
As a whirlwind of energy surrounds Ravik,
his eyes begin to crackle,
and his soul vibrates intensely.
> Ravik (stunted):
"This power… it's… it's more stable than an A Rank!"
Soul Flare resonates around him.
Ravik is now an A Rank —
no one has ever seen such rapid progress.

😈 [Scene 3 – Ravik's Monologue: Sinful Victory]
Ravik is now listening to Liona's heartbeat in a small water pot…
The madness in his eyes grows with each beat.
> Ravik (slowly, smiling):
"Leona… You were everyone's hope… Everyone's light…"
"And I drank that light… Now I'm the best."
He looks at himself in the mirror.
The face is the same — but the soul is no longer human.
> Ravik:
"I will become the most powerful only by destroying the things people love the most…"

🏰 [Scene 4 – Meanwhile: City Lord Lexar Arthen's Fury]
Cut scene.
City Lord Lexar Arthen is sitting on his throne in Noctavia's palace,
but his face is filled with terrifying rage.
A soldier comes running.
> Soldier:
"My lord… Liona has not returned to the palace yet…"
"We have not found any trace of her…"
Lexar takes out his sword –
his face is no longer that of a father, but of a storm.
> Lexar (roaring):
"Send all the soldiers… search every street, every rooftop, every cave!"
"If something happens to my daughter…"
"The whole of Noctavia will burn to ashes!"
---
🔚 [Chapter End – The Calm Before the War]
Ravik sits in meditation, complacent –
he thinks he has won everything.
But he does not know – a father's revenge
is the most dangerous storm.

🕶️ [Scene 1 – Vihan's Arrival in Noctavia]
Vihan is walking alone on the streets of Noctavia.
There is a shadow of defeat and regret on his face.
> Vihan (in mind):
"I thought Ravik was just a trickster… but he turned out to be a devil.
I wasted my entire life's wisdom… saving a murderer."
Vihan stops in front of the City Court Room.
> Vihan:
"No more… Next time I won't give up."
"I will hunt down and kill every murderer—one who wears the garb of innocence."

🐎 [Scene 2 – City Lord on the Hunt]
On the other side, City Lord Lexar Arthen is riding a horse with his entire army.
His sword is on his waist, but there is a lot of worry in his eyes.
> Lexar:
"Watch every corner! Nothing must happen to my daughter!"
Just then a soldier comes near trembling.
> Soldier (scared):
"M-My Lord… cave… There is something there…"
Lexar interrupts him—
The soldier's voice is silenced by the fire in his eyes.

🕳️ [Scene 3 – The Cave of Horror]
City Lord enters the cave.
Silence all around, but the smell of blood in the air.
In the middle of the cave, on the floor — Liona's body.
Lexar's eyes widen.
The sword falls from his hand, and he rushes over and picks Liona up in his arms.
> Lexar (in a broken voice):
"Leona… my child… my love…
Please… open your eyes…!"

🙏 [Scene 4 – The God Priest & Miracle Body]
The next day — In the City Temple.
Liona is brought before the God Priest.
The entire palace is silent.
The God Priest begins the miraculous healing process.
A few hours later…
> Priest (in a grave voice):
"Lord Arthen… your daughter is not dead.
Her spirit is strong… and her body… she is protected by God."
"Her internal nerves, organs… are slowly regenerating themselves."
Lexar's eyes welled up, but his fists remained clenched.
> Priest:
"But… full recovery will take time. And until then she will be in deep sleep."
> Lexar (slowly but deeply):
"My daughter… is a gift from God…
And the one who attacked her – he will never be able to live in peace on this earth."

⚖️ [Scene 5 – Call for Vengeance]
The next morning… a special meeting was called at City Hall.
Lexar was calm now – but there was a storm hidden in his eyes.
> Lexar (in a grave voice, in front of the meeting):
"I have fought wars… toppled dynasties…
But today I am just a father."
"The one who tried to kill my daughter…
I will find him myself."
> "Call the City Investigator. Gather the witnesses.
And everyone who was in contact with Ravik… will now have to face question
