A 21-year-old man named Shape sat casually aboard his ship. The breeze was calm, the ocean sparkling under the sun. Around him, his crew laughed and relaxed, enjoying a moment of peace. Shape smiled too—until suddenly, his expression shifted. His eyes sharpened. His smile faded.
He adjusted his wide-brimmed hat.
> Shape (thinking):
"One year ago… I fought a Devil Energy user. I killed him, but I never received the energy. Why? Because he didn't die… at least, not completely. I sensed it—his energy survived.
The last thing he mentioned before vanishing was 'Paradise Island'... and now we're heading there.
If I'm right… Devil Energy users can forfeit their energy to someone else before dying. That's what happened last time."

Narrator: The Three Known Energies
1. Devil Energy – A deadly force that grants immense stamina and destructive power.
2. Natural Energy – A rare, versatile energy gifted at birth to special individuals; powerful but low in stamina.
3. Scientific Energy – The everyday life energy generated through basic actions like breathing, walking, and speaking.

> Bell (Navigator): "Shape! Paradise Island—dead ahead!"
Excitement surged among the crew. They cheered and began preparing to disembark.
But Shape's tone turned stern.
> Shape (firmly):
"You all stay on board. I'm going alone. If I don't return in three hours—assume I'm dead."
The crew burst into laughter.
> Crew Member: "Hahaha! Yeah right, do what you want, Captain."

Shape stepped onto the eerie, silent Paradise Island. One hour passed. He wandered through dense jungle until—
He stopped.
Someone was watching him.

Unknown Man (thinking deeply):
> "I've been trapped on this cursed island for years… Only 2 years left on my timer. But him...
He has 2,000 years floating above his head.
That's impossible. Ordinary humans give a few months at best.
Who… or what… is he?"
Suddenly, the man charged out of hiding, screaming:
> Unknown Man: "GIVE ME THOSE 2000 YEARS!!"
He lunged with a punch. Shape dodged effortlessly.
The man transformed into a giant black monster, with a white mask and massive wings stretching from his back.
> Shape (calmly): "So I was right. You're a Devil Energy user."
The monster roared and launched flaming fireballs from its mouth.
> Shape: "Resistance."
His body glowed green, and the fireball exploded harmlessly on contact.
> Black Monster: "WHAT?! What is this?!"
> Shape: "I wield Natural Energy."
The monster screamed again, using:
Flamethrower – Blocked.
Water Manipulation – He drew water from nearby lakes and hurled it at Shape.
> Shape: "Ghost Touch."
His body turned intangible, glowing green again. The water passed through him.
> Black Monster (furious): "Fine then—Thunder Shot!"
> Shape (coolly): "Enough."
"I must finish this before you can transfer your Devil Energy, like the last one did. This time—I'll take it."
> Shape: "Reflect."
A thunderbolt struck him, but was instantly deflected, stunning the monster.
> Shape: "Potential."
His entire body ignited with green energy. With a single leap, he obliterated the monster and half the island in a massive explosion.
The black energy separated from the man's body.
> Shape: "Now… it's mine."
He touched the dark sphere.

Inside the Soul Realm
Suddenly, Shape saw his own soul facing off against the Devil Energy inside.
> Devil Energy: "Your soul will be my slave."
> Shape (grinning): "You can't enslave what you can't control."
With pure willpower, Shape overpowered the Devil Energy, flipping control.
His soul became the master, and the Devil Energy became his slave.

Back on the Ship
> Shape (smiling, stepping aboard): "I'm back."
> Kai (deep voice): "You were gone 1 hour, 30 minutes. We knew 3 hours was way too much time for you."
> Crew: "You blew up half the island! Let's get outta here!"
Shape chuckled.
> Shape (in thought): "Seems like… I now possess all three energy types.
But still…
I'll call myself—Not a Slave."

Meanwhile… A Grim Parallel
A split-screen comparison of Daimo and Shape appears.
> Shape: Already had a goal.
Daimo: Just created one.

Scene – Daimo's House
Now with 10 months left, Daimo had quietly killed two more people. He placed their bodies respectfully in coffins, his expression blank.
At the exact same time, in two different locations, both men said the same chilling words:
> Daimo (softly):
"There's no one stronger than me."
> Shape (quietly):
"There's no one stronger than me."
