CHAPTER 9: Shadows On The Train
“Next stop—Hazelcross Station.”The voice from the train speaker crackled, pulling Eren from his half-asleep daze. He blinked at the window, watching the blurred lights of the city streak past. It was already late, and only a few passengers remained. A woman slept near the front, her head against the glass, and an old man read a newspaper two seats away. Everything felt quiet. Peaceful.Eren exhaled and rubbed his eyes. “Just one more stop,” he muttered. “Then home.”The lights shook once. Twice. Then, with a low hum, went out completely.The train screeched to a halt. Silence filled the air. Darkness covered everything. The passengers looked around, confused.Eren frowned and stood up. “What’s going on?”A sound came from the end of the carriage. A soft scraping, like claws dragging against metal. Then another. Eren’s eyes darted toward the noise. The darkness seemed to move, thick and alive. From beneath the seats, shadows began to crawl, shaping into long, twisted figures with glow
CHAPTER 8: The Hero Who Wouldn't Die
The assembly hall was packed. Rows upon rows of students sat in silence, their faces tense. Teachers stood along the walls, arms folded. The air was heavy, almost suffocating.At the center was a large podium were the headmaster and teachers sat. The headmaster stepped forward, his robes swaying slightly as his deep voice echoed through the hall.“As many of you know,” he began, “a dangerous event took place in the Shadowfold five days ago. After full assessment, it was confirmed as a Grade C Shadowfold which was not meant to contain any shadow weavers. But investigations are still ongoing… because something unprecedented happened.”Whispers rippled through the hall.“The Shadowfold,” he said firmly, “has completely… disappeared.”Gasps erupted. A shadowfold vanishing was unheard of.The headmaster raised a hand for silence. “But even in such dark moments, bravery shines. Today, we honor the students who fought against the Shadow Weaver that day.”He gestured to the crowd. “Darius Kan
CHAPTER 7: The Awakening
“Where… am I?” Eren muttered.He opened his eyes and found himself in a strange white place. Mist was everywhere, soft and cold, curling around his feet. It was too quiet and he felt like he was being watched.Then, flashes appeared in the mist. Little pictures, like broken memories playing out in front of him.A hooded figure was running in the dark, holding a baby tight. Black monsters like shadows, chased close behind. The figure raised a barrier, blocking them for a short moment.The mist shifted and the scene changed, showing the figure again. This time, they pulled out a jade pendant and held it over the baby’s chest. “I’m sorry, little one, but this is the only way to keep you safe.”The pendant glowed, pulling light from the baby. Cracks spread across its surface.Another scene appeared. The figure placed the pendant around the baby’s neck. Their voice echoed:“One day, when the time comes, your power will awaken and fate will take its course. And when it does… the world will
CHAPTER 6: Betrayal
“Hold up… what’s that sound?” Eren whispered.The group had been walking through a long corridor inside the Shadowfold, the walls wet and black like ink. Then suddenly, the hallway ahead opened into a strange hall. Torches flickered on the walls, casting orange light over the stone floor.Shh… stop walking.”Lyra held her hand up, her fiery eyes narrowing as she listened. The group stopped. In the middle of the hall sat a tiny child, knees hugged to its chest, crying softly.“Is that… a kid?” Serena asked, her eyes wide.Silver snorted. “What’s a kid doing here? Probably some lost brat from another test.”“That’s not possible,” Lyra muttered, eyes narrowing. “This is a C-ranked Shadowfold. No ordinary child can be here.”“No,” Eren said, voice low. “Something’s wrong. This doesn’t feel right.”Lyra nodded. “I agree with Eren. This feels like a trap. ”Silver rolled his eyes. “You two are paranoid.” He shoved Carid, the nerdy C-rank medic from his group. “Hey, Carid. Go check it out.”
CHAPTER 5 – Into the Shadows
“Yo, did you hear? The Triple-D Failure actually thought he had a shot at Serena!”The hallways of Lumeris Academy buzzed with cruel laughter. It had been two days since that night, and still, the story spread like wildfire.“Bro legit tried to kiss her right in front of Darius. Can you believe that?”“Man’s bold for a loser.”“More like stupid.”Another crumpled note hit Eren’s back as he opened his locker. Scrawled across the metal in red paint were words that stung worse than fists:LOSER. FAILURE. DOG. PERVERT. WEAK.His chest felt tight. He wanted to scream, to fight back—but his throat stayed closed. Always closed.Even in class, the whispers never stopped. Remarks were tossed his way like knives, each one getting a laugh.“Don’t sit too close. He might drool on you.”“Careful, he might think you’re into him.”Everyone laughed. Everyone… except Lyra. She didn’t laugh, didn’t join in, didn’t even smirk. Sometimes, Eren caught her looking at him with something almost like… anger?
CHAPTER 4: The Cruel Setup
The apartment was small, old, and cracked in places, but it was home. Helena had taken him in from the orphanage when he was seven, raising him with nothing but love and patience. She wasn’t rich, but she had given him everything she could. And Eren adored her for it.“Mom,” Eren said, standing by the small dining table. “I… I won’t be having dinner tonight.”Helena looked up from the pot she was stirring, her grey-streaked hair tied back in a messy bun. She raised a brow, wiping her hands on her apron. “Oh? And why’s that? You finally planning to eat outside?”Eren scratched the back of his neck, cheeks burning. “Um… yeah. Something like that.”Helena smirked, crossing her arms. “Don’t tell me… you’re going on a date.”His face went red instantly. “M-mom!”She laughed, shaking her head. “I knew it. Look at you blushing. So, who’s the lucky girl?”Eren hesitated, then whispered, “Serena Arclight.”Helena’s smile faded a little. She knew the name. Everyone in the neighborhood did. “Tha
