Earth – After Tower Floor 3 Clearance
Location: Earth – India, New Delhi Outpost City
A massive LED board above the Outpost Tower shone with golden letters:
Tower Climber #02117 – Ankit Kumar – Cleared Floor 3
Status: Return Window Active – 29 Days Remaining
The tower world faded behind Ankit like a dream burned into memory, but what greeted him now was something else—a city of steel and ambition, flooded with awakened humans, emerging factions, and burning greed.
The world had changed.
Tower climbers were no longer rare. They were celebrities, warriors, and future kings.
🌐 Scene – Awakened Guild Registration Bureau
Ankit sat on a worn leather chair, facing a tall woman in a navy blazer.
She adjusted her AR-glasses.
"Name of the guild?"
Ankit leaned forward, voice firm.
"Blackhunt."
The woman paused typing. "...That's a dangerous name."
"Good," he said. "We'll be doing dangerous things."
She finished the paperwork and pointed to the biometric pad.
"Thumbprint here. And you're officially the first registered member of Blackhunt."
He placed his thumb on the scanner.

Riya stared at the night sky.
"So you're serious," she said. "A guild."
Ankit nodded. "There's strength in allies, not just weapons."
Kaido grunted. "And what makes our guild different? Everyone's recruiting climbers like they're Pokémon."
Ankit's gaze turned sharp.
"We're not looking for quantity. I want those who believe in something."

📍 Scene – Fight Arena, New Delhi Sector 3
The underground was brutal.
Fighters clashed for contracts, guild offers, and sponsorship. Tanya stood over a much larger boy, blood dripping from a spectral needle in her palm.
A cloaked figure approached from the crowd.
"You fight smart."
She glanced up. "And you fight clean?"
Ankit smirked.
"I fight for something. You want in?"
She narrowed her eyes. "Not unless you got food, shelter, and a reason not to die at 30."
"We have ramen," Kaido said behind him. "And no one dies without swinging."
Tanya chuckled.
"I'm listening."
⚔️ Mini-Scene: Blackhunt Initiation Ritual
They gathered in a half-broken warehouse outside city limits.
The foundation of their future base.
Ankit lit a small fire at the center. Around it, three stood.
Ankit. Riya. Kaido. Tanya.
"This is not a guild of saints," Ankit began. "This is not a club of elite soldiers. We're hunters. Of strength. Of truth. Of something more."
He drew his Talwar and pointed it to the sky.
"We rise when others fall. We protect when others betray.
We are Blackhunt."
The others raised their weapons in silence.
And the hunt… began.
