Chapter 1 - “The First Scream”

Episode 1: "The First Scream"

Darkness. Rain falls heavily on a ruined city. The skyline is shattered — buildings half-collapsed, the streets painted in blood. Sirens long silenced. Fires burn silently in the distance.

Narration (Aran's inner voice):"They said it would be a cure… but it became the end. The virus didn't just kill. It made monsters. And it left survivors like me… broken."

We see Aran standing on the edge of a rooftop, overlooking the chaos below. His black coat flaps in the wind. His face is masked, but his eyes scan every shadow. The bold "A" on his mask reflects the lightning.

Suddenly —A scream pierces the silence.Then another.Followed by growls.

Down in the alley — people are being torn apart by twisted, fast-moving zombies. Aran pulls a modified black blade from his back — sleek, custom-built. He leaps off the roof.

Aran (landing hard, calm voice):"This city forgot how to fight. I'll remind it."

He slashes through the undead with brutal precision. Each movement is clean, practiced, efficient. No wasted breath. But then he pauses — a girl hiding under a car, crying, frozen. She reminds him of someone.

Flashback hit:His sister. Her last words. Her infected eyes.

Back to present —He reaches for the girl.

Girl: "Are you one of them?"

Aran (quietly):"No. I kill them."
