CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-1 — THE END OF KITSUNE, THE TEN-TAILS

INTRO — THE NIGHT THE BLOOD MOON AWAKENED

The battlefield shakes…

Ash from the burning forest drifts like dying snow.

Kitsune, the Ten-Tails, roars with a voice that splits the sky open. His tails spiral and crack the earth beneath Kanoji's feet.

Kanoji stands in the middle of the storm—

breathing hard, trembling, bleeding from a dozen invisible wounds.

His sword hangs low… almost slipping from his fingers.

But then—

A sound.

A drip.

…tok… tok… tok…

Blood begins to fall from the blade.

Not Kanoji's blood.

Not Kitsune's blood.

Something else.

Something wrong.

Something older.

The ground beneath Kanoji turns dark red, soaking in every drop like the earth itself is drinking.

Kitsune pauses mid-attack, sensing something he has never felt before.

THE SWORD THAT SHOULD NOT CHANGE

Kanoji lifts the blade to his face.

The steel begins to pulse.

The veins of the sword turn crimson.

Its shape bends… cracks… expands…

And then—

A massive surge of energy erupts from the sword, shaking the entire battlefield.

A message flashes in front of Kanoji's eyes, burning like fire:

[ NEW POWER UNLOCKED ]

**THE BLOOD MANURE — FIRST FORM:

TAKICHI HAIYOKO**

The sky responds instantly.

THE BLOOD MOON DESCENDS

A gigantic Blood Moon tears through the clouds above, dripping red light across the battlefield.

Every shadow disappears.

Every heartbeat echoes.

Kitsune staggers back—

for the first time… afraid.

Kanoji looks up at the Blood Moon, and a monstrous whisper rises from deep inside him.

Not his voice.

Not human.

"Let's end this game."

His demon.

Fully awakened.

Fully hungry.

Kanoji grips the now massive, blood-forged sword—

a blade nearly the size of a dragon's spine—

and points it at Kitsune.

THE FINAL STRIKE BEGINS

The world bends.

The moon bleeds.

And Kanoji charges.

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-2 — THE PAST LIFE

INTRO — THE DAY SUNSET DIED

The world freezes.

Kitsune's scream stops mid-air.

Kanoji's sword halts inches from his heart.

The Blood Moon… does not move.

Time breaks.

A voice slides from behind Kanoji's spine:

"Do you want to know… why he became a monster?"

A cold wind cuts across the battlefield.

The flames go silent.

And suddenly—

The Blood Moon collapses into the ground like liquid, swallowing Kanoji whole.

THE REAL PAST — THE BOY WHO HAD NOTHING

Kanoji opens his eyes.

He is standing in a dead village.

Broken huts.

Torn roofs.

Empty wells.

No birds.

No footsteps.

Just one sound—

...krrrk… krrrk…

A rusted swing moving in the wind.

In the middle of the village sits a small boy…

skin glued to bone, ribs sharp, eyes empty.

A boy eating mud to survive.

His name—

**Haru.

The human life of Kitsune.**

He sits alone beside a burned hut.

His mother's ashes scattered in the dirt.

His father's clothes hanging from a broken fence—

because the father died fighting bandits for food.

Haru whispers to the sky:

"Why… does no one save me?"

No answer.

He coughs blood.

He curls up.

He trembles in the cold.

Until—

A shadow touches him.

THE SKULL MAN — THE FIRST HUNGER

A tall figure walks across the sunset.

A skeleton-like man with only:

One glowing red eye

One wide mouth full of broken teeth

Chains carved into his ribs 

His legs bend backward.

His arms drag on the ground.

His name echoes like a scream:

"THE LOST ONE."

He kneels beside starving Haru and whispers:

"If the world gives you nothing…

take everything from the world."

He offers his hand.

Haru is too weak to speak.

The Skull Man opens his single mouth—

and blows life into Haru's chest like a cursed breath.

The sunset dies instantly.

The sky becomes dark red, then black.

Blood rains from clouds.

Flowers around them bloom with blood petals.

The land itself screams.

THE TRANSFORMATION — FLOWERS OF BLOOD

Haru's starving body lifts into the air.

Blood pours from his eyes.

His spine cracks.

His nails grow into claws.

Every blood-soaked flower around him blooms brighter…

…and then explodes, covering the world in a red mist.

Haru opens his eyes.

And he is no longer Haru.

He is—

KITSUNE. THE TEN-TAILS BORN FROM HUNGER.

His first words echo through the dark village:

"I will never be weak again."

THE EMPERORS — THE FIRST MASSACRE

The sky cracks open.

Ten shadowy emperors descend like fallen gods.

Each one armed, armored, towering.

Kitsune's tails burst from his back—

dripping blood.

The emperors shout:

"THIS CREATURE MUST DIE!"

Kitsune does not run.

He smiles.

The Skull Man whispers behind him:

"Show them the truth of the lost."

The ground explodes.

Blood floods the village.

One emperor is sliced in half.

Another crushed by a tail.

Another burned alive by red moonlight.

The fight lasts seconds.

The massacre lasts minutes.

And when it ends—

Blood covers every flower.

Every hut.

Every stone.

And Kitsune stands alone in the pool of death.

The Skull Man places a chain around Kitsune's neck:

THE CHAIN OF THE LOST ONE.

A curse linking them forever.

THE FINAL HORROR — REAL WORLD TO GAME WORLD

Haru (now Kitsune) looks into the sky.

Reality cracks.

Kanoji sees flashes of the real world:

Haru sleeping hungry on cold streets

Begging for food outside temples

Working jobs at age 8

Getting beaten for stealing bread

Growing silent… angry… empty

Hooked into a cheap VR pod

Entering the game as an escape

But the curse followed him inside 

The Skull Man drags him through worlds.

Through death.

Through pain.

Through nightmare.

Until Kitsune becomes the monster Kanoji sees.

BACK TO PRESENT — THE SCREAM

Kanoji gasps—

and he's back on the battlefield.

Kitsune kneels, crying blood.

For the first time…

he looks human.

He whispers:

"Kanoji…

I never wanted to be this."

The Blood Moon pulses.

The Skull Man's voice returns:

"NOW END HIM."

Kanoji lifts his sword.

The horror deepens.

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-3 — THE CHAIN BREAKER

Subtitle: "The Skull Man Wants Your Soul."

INTRO — THE RED AIR DOES NOT MOVE

The Blood Moon hangs low…

so low it almost touches the ground.

The battlefield is frozen.

Kitsune kneels in silence, blood tears falling from his eyes.

Kanoji stands over him—

his blood-forged sword still glowing with the First Form.

No wind.

No fire.

No sound.

Just a voice…

A voice colder than the grave.

"Kanoji…"

Footsteps.

Slow.

Heavy.

Impossible.

THE SKULL MAN ARRIVES

The world bends backward as a tall silhouette emerges from the red mist.

A body made of bones wrapped in chains.

One empty eye socket.

One glowing blood-red eye.

His mouth stretching unnaturally wide, dripping black fluid.

Each step leaves a crater in the ground.

He raises one long, skeletal finger at Kanoji.

"Do not free him."

The Blood Moon dimly flickers.

Kitsune trembles—like a child kneeling before his nightmare.

Kanoji grips his sword tighter.

"Who are you?"

The Skull Man tilts his head so far sideways that his neck cracks loudly.

"I am what you will become."

THE CHAIN OF LOST ONE — FULL REVEAL

A thick, rust-black chain erupts from the ground, wrapping around Kitsune's throat.

The chain is pulsing… alive.

Every pulse drains Kitsune's life.

Every rattle steals his breath.

The Skull Man presses his bony hand on the chain.

"This chain binds all abandoned souls.

This chain binds all forgotten children.

This chain binds him…

and soon—

YOU."

The ground below Kanoji opens—

revealing thousands of hands trying to drag him down.

Tiny hands.

Children's hands.

Starving.

Cold.

Clawing.

Kanoji jumps back, barely escaping.

THE TEST OF THE LOST

The Skull Man spreads his arms.

Chains burst out of his ribs like snakes.

10 chains.

10 broken souls.

10 forgotten lives.

Each chain ends in a screaming skull.

The Skull Man whispers:

"Break even ONE chain…

and I will accept your strength."

Kanoji grits his teeth.

"And if I fail?"

The Skull Man smiles wider.

"Then your soul joins the Lost.

Forever."

He slams all ten chains into the ground—

THE TEST BEGINS.

THE FIRST CHAIN — THE BOY WITH NO NAME

A small boy crawls out of the ground.

But his face has no eyes.

No mouth.

No nose.

Just smooth, pale skin.

The boy trembles.

He reaches toward Kanoji.

"Help… me…"

Kanoji steps forward—

—but the Skull Man roars:

"HELPING THEM MEANS YOU DIE."

Kanoji's heart stops.

The rule of this nightmare world flashes:

"IF YOU HELP SOMEONE, YOU MIGHT DIE."

The boy crawls closer.

His faceless head tilts.

From his skin, blood drips like sweat.

Kanoji tightens his grip.

He slashes—

SHRAAAK!

The boy shatters into red dust.

The first chain breaks.

The Skull Man laughs.

"GOOD.

FEEL THE GUILT, KANOJI."

THE SECOND CHAIN — THE GIRL WITH THE BROKEN FLOWERS

A girl rises next.

Skin cracked like porcelain.

A head full of dead flowers tangled in her hair.

Blood dripping from every petal.

She holds a small flower in her hand—

a flower growing from her wrist,

bleeding.

She whispers:

"Don't hurt me… please…"

Kanoji hesitates.

Just for a second.

The Skull Man moves instantly.

He appears behind Kanoji, whispering into his ear:

"Hesitate again…

and the chain wraps your throat."

Kanoji roars—

And slices.

The girl breaks like glass.

Her blood petals scatter into the wind.

Second chain breaks.

The Blood Moon shakes.

THE SKULL MAN REVEALS HIS INTENTION

The Skull Man claps his skeletal hands once.

CLANG.

All the chains rattle violently.

"You are doing well, Kanoji.

Too well."

He leans close.

"Do you know why I want you?"

Kanoji raises his sword.

"I don't care."

The Skull Man's eye burns bright red.

"I want your rage.

Your loneliness.

Your pain."

He points to Kanoji's chest.

"Your demon… belongs to me."

Kanoji's demon inside him snarls:

"TRY IT."

The Skull Man smiles.

"Oh, I will."

THE THIRD CHAIN — THE EMPEROR OF BONES

This chain summons something massive.

A fallen Emperor.

One of the strongest.

A skeleton warrior with:

A cracked crown

A broken jaw

A spine made of iron

A chest filled with rattling skulls 

The ground trembles beneath his roar.

Kanoji grins slightly.

"Finally… someone worth fighting."

The Blood Moon flashes.

The Emperor charges.

Kanoji meets him head-on.

CLASH!

A shockwave bends the air.

The Emperor swings a bone-spear.

Kanoji ducks.

Slices.

Dodges.

But the Emperor grabs Kanoji by the throat—

lifts him—

and slams him into the ground so hard the earth shatters.

Kanoji coughs blood.

The Emperor raises his spear to impale him—

Kanoji whispers:

"Blood Manure — First Form… BREAK."

His giant sword erupts in red lightning.

He swings upward—

BOOOOOM!

The Emperor explodes into blood fog.

The third chain falls, broken.

THE SKULL MAN ANGERED

The Skull Man's single eye twitches.

He speaks through clenched teeth:

"Three chains broken…

You are too close."

His mouth stretches open—

wider than human, wider than bone should allow.

He screams:

"ENOUGH!"

The entire battlefield collapses into a pit of darkness.

Kanoji falls.

Kitsune screams his name—

"KANOJIIIIII!"

But his voice fades.

Kanoji descends into a void.

A void filled with whispers.

A void filled with hands.

A void where the Skull Man is strongest.

ENDING — THE VOID CLAIMS HIM

A final message appears in glowing white text in front of Kanoji:

"WELCOME TO THE LOST ONE'S REALM."

"ESCAPE IF YOU CAN."

Kanoji lands in a pool of blood.

The Skull Man appears above him, floating, smiling:

"Now…

let me show you the REAL chains."

EPISODE END

TO BE CONTINUED…

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-4 — THE LOST ONE'S REALM

Subtitle: "Where the Dead Remember You."

INTRO — THE WORLD MADE OF SCREAMS

Nothing exists.

No floor. No sky. No direction.

Just an endless ocean of voices whispering under the surface of liquid blood.

Kanoji opens his eyes and realizes—

he's not standing on ground.

He's floating in it.

A sea made of veins.

Every drop beats like a heart.

Far above, the Blood Moon spins in reverse.

Its light does not shine; it bleeds downward like rain.

A thousand faces rise from the red water, whispering his name.

"Kanoji… Kanoji… you broke the chains… now break yourself…"

THE SKULL MAN'S DOMAIN

A tremor shakes the air.

Chains burst out from the ocean—

thick, rusted, endless—

each one holding a skull still whispering prayers that no god will answer.

From the fog, the Skull Man drags himself into view.

His ribs hang open like a cage,

and inside that cage burns a single, enormous heart—black fire swirling around it.

He speaks slowly:

"This is where I was born.

The grave of all forgotten souls.

Every cry, every regret, every hunger… lives here."

Kanoji glares upward, sword glowing.

"You're nothing but a ghost chained to your own guilt."

The Skull Man's single red eye flares.

"Then feel what guilt truly is."

He slams both hands into the blood.

THE RISING OF THE DEAD EMPERORS

The ocean boils.

Ten crimson towers rise, each made from skulls and bones of emperors that once ruled the realm of the living.

Their screams echo together—

a choir of agony.

Each tower opens like a mouth, releasing a figure.

Ten silhouettes step forward, wearing broken crowns.

The Dead Emperors.

Each one is wrapped in the Skull Man's chain.

"These," he says,

"were heroes once.

Now they are my puppets."

The Emperors kneel, waiting.

Kanoji takes one breath.

The demon inside him whispers:

"Let me out.

You can't win without me."

THE INTERNAL FIGHT

Kanoji's vision splits.

Half of him stands in the red world;

the other half stands inside his own mind.

There—inside—

a mirror made of blood shows his reflection laughing.

The demon version of Kanoji steps out.

Skin gray. Eyes glowing black-red.

Veins crawling like roots beneath the skin.

He smirks.

"I told you, brother…

this world is made for me."

Kanoji clenches his jaw.

"We fight together. Not as monsters."

The demon tilts his head.

"Then prove it.

Take the second form."

THE SECOND FORM UNLOCK

Outside, lightning flashes red.

The blood ocean begins to boil harder.

A new message burns before Kanoji's eyes:

[ BLOOD MANURE — SECOND FORM UNLOCKED ]

THE BLOOD MANURE: FORM II — ASHURA'S GRAVE

The sword disintegrates into liquid.

That blood wraps around Kanoji's arms, forming twin blades of flowing red energy.

Every step he takes turns the ground into bones.

The Demon laughs inside him.

"Now we are one."

THE FIGHT OF TEN EMPERORS

The first Emperor charges—

armor of skulls, spear of bone.

Kanoji blocks, spins, slices—

the blood blades whistle through the air.

The Emperor's head flies off, turning into red dust.

The second Emperor attacks—

fire mouth, claws like scythes.

Kanoji crosses the blades.

CLANG.

Explosion.

The Emperor burns into ashes.

The rest attack together.

Kanoji vanishes—appearing mid-air—

twists both blades downward and screams:

"ASHURA BURIAL!"

The Blood Moon explodes.

Every Emperor turns into shattered bone raining into the sea.

Silence.

Then—

a slow clap.

THE SKULL MAN'S TRUE BODY

The Skull Man tears his chest apart.

The black heart inside his ribs begins to grow—

beating faster—

until it becomes an entire new body, crawling out of him.

This one is huge.

Flesh-covered bones.

Dozens of eyes blinking in random places.

Chains spinning like serpents.

The old skeleton falls away.

The new one smiles with thirty teeth.

"You broke my puppets,

but can you break me?"

He swings a chain like a whip.

It smashes through towers, through air, through time.

Kanoji blocks—barely—

but the impact throws him miles backward, crashing through the sea of blood.

He sinks deep.

THE SEA OF VOICES

Under the surface—

hands grab him.

Thousands of faces scream around him.

Each one whispers memories:

the faces of the people he's killed, the cries of the lost, Kitsune's last words.

"Kanoji… save him…"

"Kanoji… don't become us…"

"Kanoji… the Chain is already inside you…"

He looks down—

and sees it.

A thin, black chain growing from his own chest.

THE REALIZATION

Kanoji screams under the blood.

"No… I'm not one of them!"

The Demon inside laughs cruelly.

"You are.

Every kill, every fight, every revenge—

you've been feeding the chain."

Kanoji's body shakes.

The chain tightens.

The Skull Man's voice echoes from above:

"You can't break what you already wear."

THE RISING

Kanoji's rage ignites.

He spreads his arms wide.

The sea around him boils upward into a blood tornado.

From its center, his two blades fuse into one massive weapon—

half metal, half vein, pulsing like a living organ.

He screams so loud the entire realm quakes:

"I'LL BREAK EVERY CHAIN!"

He rises through the storm, red lightning spiraling around him.

ENDING — THE FINAL STAND BEGINS

The Skull Man spreads his arms, laughing.

"Then come, Chain Breaker.

Let's see if your blood can scream louder than mine."

The Blood Moon splits into two, each bleeding rivers of red light down onto them.

The world goes silent for one heartbeat.

And then—

they clash.

A sound like a world dying.

CHAPTER-6

Episode-5 — THE LOST HORROR

SPECIAL EPISODE — KITSUNE vs KANOJI : THE NIGHT OF 10,000 SCREAMS

Subtitle: "When a Friend Turns Into a Monster."

INTRO — THE BLOOD MOON TWISTS

The Blood Moon cracks.

Not splits — it twists, like someone is wringing the sky with their bare hands.

Under that spiraling red light...

Kitsune stands.

Not the friend Kanoji protected.

Not the warrior of ten tails.

But something else—

something born from suffering, hunger, and a life with no father, no food, no rest.

Kitsune's breath becomes smoke.

His claws drip black blood instead of red.

His ten tails twist like snakes fighting each other.

His eyes…

not human,

not fox,

not demon.

Just hate.

A kind of hate only a starving child from a broken world can understand.

Kanoji whispers:

"Kitsune… stop. Please. Don't do this."

Kitsune tilts his head.

Bones crack.

His jaw unhinges.

Then he screams—

"YOU LEFT ME THERE!"

The entire forest catches fire.

THE HORROR BEGINS — THE FIRST TAIL

Kitsune vanishes.

Silent.

Too silent.

Kanoji's demon warns:

"Behind you—"

Too late.

The First Tail pierces Kanoji's shoulder, lifting him high into the scorched sky.

Blood sprays like rain.

Kitsune appears in front of him, face inches away.

He whispers with a child's broken voice:

"When I was starving…

where were you?"

Kanoji grabs the tail, breaks free, lands, and rolls across the burning ground.

His arm is numb.

Bleeding heavily.

SECOND TAIL — THE FACE OF THE PAST

Kitsune slams his hand on the ground.

The earth splits—

and faces crawl out.

Not monsters.

Children.

Children without food.

Without parents.

Without warmth.

Their ribs show.

Their eyes sunken.

Their bodies trembling.

They whisper in perfect unison:

"You survived… we didn't…"

Kanoji's breathing stops.

Kitsune walks between the children, stroking their heads.

He smiles.

"This is my world, Kanoji.

You had your home.

Your warmth.

Your meals…

I had none."

The children collapse into dust.

Kitsune grins.

His Second Tail launches forward—

Kanoji barely blocks.

The impact sends him flying through three trees.

THIRD TAIL — THE HUNGER FORM

The sky turns black.

Clouds twist into a shape:

a giant fox skull eating the moon.

Kitsune rises into the air, hovering.

His rib cage opens—

revealing a second mouth inside his chest.

Sharp teeth.

Dripping black hunger.

He whispers:

"I learned to eat shadows…

because I had nothing else."

The Third Tail bends into a spear and shoots toward Kanoji's heart.

Kanoji dodges—

BUT THE TAIL FOLLOWS.

Like a living creature hunting him.

He jumps onto a rock—

it splits under him.

He dives behind a tree—

the tree explodes.

He runs—

but the tail keeps coming.

He has no choice.

Kanoji screams:

**"FIRST FORM—

TAKICHI HAIYOKO!"**

A Blood Moon shockwave erupts from his sword.

The tail is blown back—

but Kitsune doesn't even flinch.

He smiles wider.

FOURTH TAIL — THE SOUND OF BONES

The Fourth Tail slams into the ground.

The world goes quiet.

Then…

Crack… crack… crack… crack…

Bones begin to appear everywhere—

under the soil, inside trees, in the air.

They fall like rain.

Bleached white bones.

Hundreds.

Thousands.

Millions.

Kitsune whispers:

"Do you hear it…?

The sound of everyone who died while you were safe?"

Kanoji's demon snarls inside him.

"STOP LISTENING AND FIGHT!"

Kanoji dodges bone spikes erupting from the ground.

But one bone—

sharp as a blade—

cuts across his face.

Blood pours from his cheek.

Kanoji wipes it with his thumb.

"Kitsune… you're gone too far."

Kitsune roars so loud the bones around them shake like drums.

FIFTH TAIL — THE FAMILY HE NEVER HAD

The forest darkens.

A house appears.

A broken mud house.

Leaking roof.

Broken windows.

Inside…

a thin woman sits on the floor, crying silently.

Kitsune walks inside the illusion.

He kneels beside her.

His voice becomes small.

"Mom… I found food for us…"

She doesn't respond.

She never did.

She died long ago.

Kitsune lifts her corpse and screams:

"THIS IS THE LIFE I CAME FROM!"

He turns to Kanoji with wild eyes.

"AND YOU STILL WANT TO SAVE ME?"

The Fifth Tail wraps around Kanoji's legs, dragging him into the illusion house.

The corpse looks at him—

its eyes open—

its neck cracks sideways—

"Why did you live?"

Kanoji splits the illusion with a slash.

The house burns away.

Kitsune shakes with rage.

THE TRUE HORROR — KITSUNE'S DEMON

All ten tails rise.

All ten twist.

All ten scream.

Kitsune drops on all fours.

His spine cracks upward like a beast awakening.

His face splits—

a second fox mouth opening under his chin.

Black fire pours out.

He growls:

"I AM THE HUNGER OF THE WORLD."

Kanoji's sword vibrates.

The demon inside him whispers:

"Kanoji…

this is no longer Kitsune.

This is a curse wearing his skin."

Kanoji stands.

Bleeding.

Shaking.

Heartbroken.

He raises his massive blood-forged sword.

AND CHARGES.

Kitsune roars—

and the ground erupts into a tornado of bone and shadow.

They collide.

The explosion turns the entire forest into dust.

ENDING — THE LAST LINE BEFORE THE FINAL BLOW

Kanoji falls.

Kitsune stands over him, claws ready to rip his throat open.

Kanoji whispers something.

Barely audible.

Barely alive.

"Kitsune…

I'm sorry…

you had to grow up alone."

Kitsune freezes.

For the first time—

his real eyes return.

Just for one second.

And he whispers:

"…Do I have to die too?"

The Blood Moon stops in the sky.

Silence.

Dark.

Still.

Then—

EPISODE END

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-6

THE FINAL BLOOD STRIKE

Subtitle: "When Monsters Become Gods."

INTRO — THE SILENCE BEFORE BLOOD

The battlefield is gone.

Only the Blood Moon remains, hanging like a dripping wound.

The blood ocean boils.

Bones rise and fall like tides.

Kitsune stands on the highest wave, his ten tails spinning like whips of darkness.

His black blood drips onto Kanoji.

Each drop hisses on contact, burning flesh and spirit alike.

Kanoji's demon whispers:

"Now or never… it's time for Form III."

Kanoji grits his teeth, holding the massive Blood Manure blade.

The air smells of iron and rot.

The sky cracks.

The ocean of blood trembles.

"This ends tonight, Kitsune."

Kitsune tilts his head.

"No… it begins. You're only prolonging the pain."

THE BLOOD MANURE — FORM III UNLEASHED

Kanoji's blade explodes into crimson energy.

The blood ocean around him rises into a vortex.

The sword grows ten times larger, glowing with veins of black fire.

A new message appears in the sky:

[ BLOOD MANURE — FORM III: ASHURA'S WRATH ]

Power Unlocked: Demon + Humanity Fusion

Kanoji screams.

The wind screams.

The Blood Moon fractures into three moons, each dripping shadows.

The Demon inside him roars:

"NOW WE DESTROY EVERYTHING!"

THE COLLISION — KITSUNE VS KANOJI

Kitsune jumps from the highest wave.

Tails lash, slicing the blood sea.

Each strike creates a mini tidal wave of bones and red mist.

Kanoji spins his Form III sword.

A blood barrier explodes outward.

The ocean cracks.

A chain of Lost Ones rises, screaming.

They try to pull Kanoji under, but his new power burns them instantly.

They collide mid-air.

Explosion shakes the moons.

Red lightning strikes the ocean.

Kitsune's roar mixes with Kanoji's scream.

THE HORROR OF MEMORY

Kanoji's sword cuts through a tail—

and suddenly he sees Haru's past.

The starving boy.

The mud house.

The mother's ashes.

The Skull Man whispering into young Haru's ear.

Blood fills Kanoji's vision.

Eyes open inside the blood ocean.

Children scream silently.

Kanoji falters for a second.

The demon inside him whispers:

"No mercy… or you die with him."

He pushes through.

Clashes with Kitsune again.

THE BLOOD TORNADO ATTACK

Kanoji spins his Form III sword like a cyclone.

The Blood Moon trembles.

Tails shred into pieces.

Kitsune's body starts regenerating from the black blood.

Each regeneration costs him pieces of his humanity.

Kanoji screams:

"I'll save you… even if I must break you!"

Kitsune's voice cracks:

"Then break me… but remember…

the pain I endured will live forever!"

THE FINAL FORM OF KITSUNE

Kitsune's tails multiply.

Black fire erupts from his mouth and chest.

He grows taller.

His ten tails spin into a cage of death around him and Kanoji.

The Skull Man's chain reforms behind him, whispering:

"You can't escape the Lost…

but you can merge it."

Kanoji nods slightly to the Demon.

"Form III… FULL RELEASE."

The sword explodes.

A blood pillar shoots into the sky, piercing the three moons.

Kanoji bursts forward.

The first slash cuts through two tails, the second through the chest, the third splits Kitsune's body in half.

But Kitsune screams, regenerates… faster.

THE HUMAN CONNECTION

Kanoji stops.

He sees Haru's true eyes inside Kitsune.

For the first time, Kitsune hesitates.

Kanoji whispers:

"Haru… I'm still your friend…

come back to me."

Kitsune's tails tremble.

The black blood stops flowing.

The Skull Man screeches:

"DON'T YOU DARE!"

Kanoji charges forward.

His sword glows blinding red.

He slashes…

not to kill…

But to cut the chain of Lost One inside Kitsune.

THE FINAL BLOW

The chain shatters.

Bones and blood explode outward.

The Blood Moon cracks completely.

The ocean boils into mist.

Kitsune screams, but slowly collapses.

He looks human.

Tears mix with black blood.

Kanoji kneels beside him.

"I'm sorry… I never knew…"

The Demon inside Kanoji growls:

"He's free… for now."

Kitsune smiles faintly.

"Thank you… brother."

The Blood Moon shatters.

The Skull Man vanishes into whispers.

The chain is broken.

ENDING — AFTERMATH OF THE LOST HORROR

The battlefield is silent.

Bones float in the mist.

The blood ocean is calm.

Kanoji lifts his sword.

He whispers:

"The Lost… may return.

But today…

we survived."

The Blood Moon fades.

The shadows retreat.

The Chain of Lost One is broken…

for now.

EPISODE END

EPISODE-7 — THE FINALES TRACKS

Subtitle: "Where Blood Ends… and Bonds Begin."

INTRO — THE WORLD RESTARTS

The Blood Moon is gone.

The blood ocean has dried into red dust.

Silence spreads across the broken battlefield.

For the first time in hours…

Kanoji breathes normally.

A golden ripple spreads across the sky—

as if the world itself is rebooting after surviving hell.

One voice echoes through the empty air:

SYSTEM REBOOTING…

Kanoji looks around.

Kitsune lies unconscious… but breathing.

Human again.

A soft voice comes from behind:

"You really did it this time, brother."

It's AKI, standing with a cracked mask, smiling lightly.

AKI'S NEW POWER — THE BEAST RUN

As Aki steps forward, the ground beneath her foot CRACKS.

Kanoji's eyes widen.

She vanishes.

A gust of wind hits his face.

Then she appears behind him, arms crossed.

Kanoji:

"W-What the hell was that?!"

Aki smirks:

"My new skill…

THE BEAST RUN."

The air hums.

She moves again—

but this time Kanoji sees it:

Not teleportation.

Not time stop.

Just speed so fast

that the world around her looks frozen.

Aki:

"I'm not stopping time…

I'm just faster than it."

Footsteps echo.

From the red mist… silhouettes appear.

Kanoji's heart jolts.

His brother.

His old friends.

His girlfriend.

His team.

All running toward him.

The moment they see Kanoji alive—

everyone breaks into tears, smiles, laughter.

His brother hugs him first:

"You idiot… we thought we lost you!"

His girlfriend slaps him lightly:

"Next time you fight a demon god… CALL ME TOO!"

His childhood friend cries:

"You always survive like a cockroach bro… never change."

Aki smirks:

"Heh. He changed.

He became a monster."

Kanoji:

"…A good monster, right?"

Aki:

"Debatable."

Everyone laughs.

After the horror of the Blood Moon battle…

this peaceful moment feels unreal.

 FUN MOMENT — KITSUNE WAKES UP

Kitsune coughs.

Everyone turns.

He sits up slowly, rubbing his eyes.

Kanoji:

"You okay?"

Kitsune:

"…I'm hungry."

Aki:

"I KNEW IT. Classic Haru."

His girlfriend:

"Should we get him ramen?"

Kitsune:

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-8 — "THE FIRST TRIAL OF BLOOD BLOOMS"

Subtitle: "Ride of a Dead Emperor."

INTRO — THE GATE OF TRIALS OPENS

The sky cracks like glass.

A massive torii gate appears, glowing blood-red.

Ancient drums echo… DOOM… DOOM… DOOM…

A voice booms:

"FIRST TRIAL INITIATED — BLOOD BLOOMS."

A crimson petal falls from nowhere, landing on Hakuu's hand.

It burns—but softly—like calling him.

Aki:

"Looks like it chose you, Hakuu."

Hakuu smirks.

"Then I'll take it."

The ground trembles…

A burning wheel screeches across the horizon.

THE BOSS APPEARS – "HERCULE THE BIKE DA"

A skeletal motorcycle bursts through the torii gate.

Its wheels are wrapped in flaming bones.

The fuel? Melted souls.

The headlight?

A real skull—the severed head of Emperor Hercules D'Law, the Fire Emperor, defeated long ago.

The rider swings a red-black katana shaped like a blooming flower:

THE BLOOD BLOOMS SWORD.

Crimson petals explode with every swing.

Hercule revs the engine—souls scream inside it.

HERCULE:

"WHO SEEKS THE SWORD OF HAROCHI… SHALL FALL UNDER MY WHEELS."

Hakuu steps forward.

Kanoji:

"Hakuu… don't die."

Hakuu:

"…I don't plan to."

 PHASE 1 — FLAME ROAD CHARGE

Hercule vanishes—

JUST A TRAIL OF FIRE.

BAMMMMM!!!

Hakuu barely dodges the flaming bike as it tears the ground in half.

Aki:

"He's using the bones of Hercules D'Law… that bike is ALIVE!"

Hercule skids sideways, sparks exploding, petals swirling.

HERCULE:

"SHOW ME YOUR WORTH, LITTLE HERO."

Hakuu grips his sword.

 H A K U U — FULL TECHNIQUE MODE ACTIVATED

Hakuu closes his eyes…

Deep breath…

"Katana Style — Form XI: FALLING SKY PETALS."

He steps once—

and the ground beneath him cracks like paper.

SLASHHHHH!!!

A storm of silver blades erupts around him.

The flames split.

The fire trail separates.

Even Hercule's skull-head glitches from shock.

Hercule:

"…OH? A SWORD DANCER?"

Hakuu smirks:

"A master's student."

 PHASE 2 — THE FLAME WHEEL MASSACRE

Hercule lifts the bike upward, wheel spinning vertically like a flaming circular saw.

He slams it into the ground—

FIRE TSUNAMI.

A massive wall of flame rushes toward Hakuu.

Aki & Kanoji shield others.

Hakuu stands alone against the inferno.

He whispers…

"Sensei Harochi… guide my blade."

He twists his stance.

Katana Style — Form XII: DIVINE PETAL COUNTER.

One clean step.

One clean slash.

The fire tsunami splits in TWO.

Everyone watching goes SILENT.

Even Hercule freezes.

Hercule:

"…THIS MAN… IS HAROCHI'S BLOODLINE."

 PHASE 3 — BIKE VS HUMAN (OP C I N E M A T I C F I G H T)

Hercule:

"THEN LET US END THIS… WITH SPEED."

The bike glows fiery red.

200 km/h

300 km/h

400 km/h

Flames burst, turning white-hot.

Hakuu bends down—

Sword behind his back.

FLASH STEP — PETAL DASH.

He disappears.

Only drifting petals remain.

Aki:

"…I didn't see him."

Kanoji:

"…That's Hakuu's real speed?"

BOOOOMMM!!

Hakuu appears mid-air—

behind Hercule—

slashing the spine of the bike.

The skeleton-bike SCREAMS.

Hercule retaliates, spinning the whole bike like a flaming tornado.

Hakuu gets cut—blood sprays.

Aki shouts:

"HAKUU!!!"

Hakuu wipes the blood.

Smiles.

"I'm just… warming up."

 FINAL PHASE — GOD SLAYER STRIKE

Hercule stands on the bike, sword raised.

HERCULE:

"FINAL MOVE—

WRATH OF THE DEAD EMPEROR!"

A colossal fire dragon erupts from the flaming wheels.

The battlefield becomes an inferno.

Hakuu's hair burns at the tips…

his sword turns red hot…

But his eyes?

Calm.

"Master Harochi's Ultimate Technique."

He lifts his katana—

Sword petals swirl around him like a BLOODY STORM.

BLOOMING KATANA — FINAL FORM:

"ONE THOUSAND FALLING FLOWERS!"

Hakuu vanishes.

Light covers everything.

A red line splits the battlefield.

Silence.

The fire dragon freezes…

then shatters like exploding glass.

Hercule stumbles…

Falls from the bike…

And bows his head in defeat.

HERCULE (smiling):

"You have… mastered the art…

Take the blade… Samurai of Harochi…"

He dissolves into crimson petals.

 HAKUU OBTAINS — BLOOD BLOOMS SWORD

The sword floats.

Then lands in Hakuu's hands.

His stats update:

HAKUU — LEVEL 120,000 → LEVEL 135,000

Weapon Acquired: BLOOD BLOOMS

Technique Tree Unlocked: HAROCHI'S 7 DIVINE BLOOMS

Passive Ability: PETAL AFTER-IMAGE

Kanoji pats Hakuu's shoulder:

"You did it…

Master Harochi would be proud."

Hakuu smiles softly.

"…This is only the first trial."

 OUTRO — THE FIVE LOST ONES AWAIT

A golden screen appears:

TRIAL COMPLETE.

4 TRIALS REMAINING.

NEXT LOCATION: THE SHADOW RAILWAY.

Narrator voice:

"Hakuu earned the blade of legends…

But the Finales Tracks are far from over."

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

CHAPTER‑6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE‑9 — "THE SECOND TRIAL: SHADOW RAILWAY OF THE DEAD"

Subtitle: "A Thousand Realities of His Death"

INTRO — THE TRAIN THAT CARRIES SOULS

Thunder rolls without clouds.

A railway appears in the void.

Black metal. No lights. No sound.

Just a single train standing still on a track that floats over nothing.

The doors slide open on their own.

A voice whispers behind Hakuu:

"Face what you fear. Or be erased."

He steps inside.

The doors close.

Everything becomes silent.

Then the train begins to move.

Faster.

Faster.

Faster.

Lights flicker.

And the world changes.

PHASE 1 — THE MASTER RETURNS IN A FORM NOT HUMAN

Hakuu finds himself standing at the old dojo.

Rain falls softly.

A figure walks out.

Master Harochi.

But not alive.

His eyes are empty.

Skin pale.

Movements stiff.

Harochi speaks, but his voice is doubled, distorted.

"You did not save me.

You never could."

Hakuu draws his sword.

But the master raises his hand—

His own sword is lodged inside his chest, driven straight through him.

Harochi steps closer, pushing the blade deeper.

Blood pours out.

Harochi reaches for Hakuu's face with a trembling hand.

Then his neck snaps sideways unnaturally, and his head hangs loose.

The image shatters.

Darkness.

PHASE 2 — FAMILY OF SHADOWS

Hakuu is now inside his old home.

The lights are dim.

The air is thick.

His mother stands in the kitchen.

Her back is turned.

His father is sitting at the table.

Not breathing.

The moment Hakuu steps closer—

All of them twist their heads around at impossible angles.

Their eyes are hollow.

Their mouths open wide, tearing the skin.

The mother whispers:

"Why did you leave us?"

The father whispers:

"You were not strong enough."

The sister whispers:

"You let us die."

Hakuu steps back.

Their bodies contort.

Bones crack.

Limbs extend.

Then all three collapse at once, necks snapping.

The floor disappears beneath him.

He falls into another world.

PHASE 3 — NORTH KOREA WAR ZONE

Explosions around him.

Burning cities.

Machine guns firing.

Bodies lying everywhere.

Hakuu hears soldiers screaming in a language he does not know.

He looks down.

A bullet hole opens in his chest.

He falls backward.

Blood floods his lungs.

He dies.

The world resets.

PHASE 4 — JAPANESE SWORD DUEL

Hakuu stands in a wooden arena.

Samurai armor.

Footsteps.

A warrior rushes at him.

Before Hakuu reacts, a blade slices his neck.

Everything spins.

He watches his own head fall from his shoulders.

Darkness returns.

PHASE 5 — POLAND SNOWFALL

Hakuu opens his eyes inside a snowstorm.

It is night.

He can barely breathe.

The cold is sharp.

Snow covers him like a burial shroud.

He tries to stand but collapses.

His fingers turn blue.

His breath becomes shallow.

He freezes to death.

The world dissolves.

PHASE 6 — THE GIRL IN THE ALLEY

Hakuu finds himself in a narrow alley.

A girl stands at the end.

Barefoot.

Shivering.

She runs.

Hakuu follows.

She stops in the middle of the road.

A truck appears from nowhere.

Impact.

She dies instantly.

Hakuu turns around—

A sword pierces his heart from behind.

He dies again.

PHASE 7 — THE CHILD WHO NEEDED HELP

Hakuu wakes beside a broken house.

A small child cries, reaching out.

Hakuu lifts him, comforting him.

Then a gigantic black hand emerges from the darkness behind them.

Fingers longer than spears.

Skin like tar.

Joints bent wrong.

It grabs the child and crushes him.

Hakuu screams.

The hand turns toward him.

Before he can move, it closes around him too.

Bones snap.

Everything goes black.

PHASE 8 — THE FIRE OF HIS OWN CRIME

Hakuu stands in a burning room.

His family is tied to chairs.

A gun is in his own hand.

He tries to drop it.

His arm does not listen.

A shadow stands behind him, forcing his hand.

The gun fires again and again.

His family collapses.

Blood covers the walls.

The shadow whispers:

"You killed them."

Hakuu falls to his knees.

The fire consumes him alive.

PHASE 9 — THE WORLD WITHOUT A HEAD

Hakuu stands in wasteland ruins.

A man without a head approaches.

He carries a lantern filled with moving eyes.

He speaks without a mouth.

"All worlds perish because of you."

The headless man raises his arm and the entire world crumbles.

Hakuu is buried alive under collapsing earth.

PHASE 10 — CHINA'S FALL

Towers collapse.

Cities in flames.

People running.

Hakuu walks through smoke and ash.

A virus spreads through every street.

Bodies fall one by one.

A shadow whispers:

"Your arrival caused this."

He tries to escape.

But every doorway leads to another burning country.

Another collapsing world.

Another plague.

The final moment hits.

A wave of black fog sweeps over everything.

Hakuu inhales it—

Dies instantly.

THE LOOP BREAKS

The train screeches.

Hakuu gasps awake.

He is back inside the Shadow Railway.

Breathing hard.

Sweating.

Shaking.

A voice echoes from the ceiling:

"You have died twelve times.

And yet you stand."

Lights turn red.

"Second Trial: Complete.

You faced every death your soul remembers.

You did not break."

Hakuu collapses to his knees, exhausted.

But alive.

The train stops.

The doors open to a new world covered in endless night.

Screen text appears:

THIRD TRIAL LOADING

THE FACE BEHIND THE SHADOW

LOCATION: THE INVERTED VALLEY

Hakuu stands slowly.

His eyes are cold now.

Changed.

Scarred.

He steps into the darkness.

OUTRO

The railway fades behind him.

Narrator:

"The second trial shattered his soul,

showing him every world where he failed.

But surviving death twelve times

only sharpened his blade."

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

CHAPTER‑6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE‑10 — "THE INVERTED VALLEY"

Subtitle: "Where Reality Breaks and Shadows Hunt"

 INTRO — FALLING INTO THE VALLEY

Hakuu steps out of the Shadow Railway.

The world is upside down. Sky below, ground above. Mountains hang like broken teeth.

Wind whispers voices of everyone he has lost.

Footsteps echo behind him.

Kanoji & Aki appear, real, not projections.

But their eyes… empty. Shadows flicker over their faces.

A voice from the dark:

"Welcome… to the valley where reality dies."

Hakuu grips Blood Blooms Sword.

Kanoji whispers:

"Hakuu… stay close. This is… unlike anything we've faced."

 PHASE 1 — HALL OF MIRRORS

The valley opens into a corridor of mirrors.

Each reflection shows another death of Hakuu, distorted, screaming silently.

Aki moves forward—one reflection shows her arm cut.

Kanoji sees himself dismembered in another mirror.

Hakuu slashes a mirror. Blood sprays—but it's real.

A shadow lunges from another reflection, grabbing Hakuu's throat.

He yanks the sword free; petals scatter like broken glass.

PHASE 2 — THE REALITY SPLIT

The valley twists. Gravity shifts.

Kanoji falls up; Aki's steps float horizontally.

Hakuu barely keeps his balance.

Monsters made of shadow and memories attack.

One whispers:

"You cannot save them… they are already gone."

Hakuu shouts:

"They are still alive. I can feel them!"

He rushes forward.

Blood Blooms Sword glows—FLOW OF BLOOD PETALS sweeps shadows aside.

 PHASE 3 — KANOJI'S TRUTH

Kanoji suddenly disappears.

Hakuu finds him in a room of chains, bodies of his friends and family dangling like puppets.

Kanoji struggles:

"Hakuu… I'm real… but they're trying to take me…"

Hakuu swings the sword. Chains shred, but Kanoji screams as a blade pierces his chest in another reality.

Hakuu yells:

"Hold on! I won't lose you here!"

 PHASE 4 — AKI'S NIGHTMARE

Aki is pulled into a black fog.

Her chest is impaled by spectral swords.

She collapses, eyes wide, screaming—then she's gone.

Hakuu runs blindly. The valley splits again.

Everything moves faster. Wind screams.

Blood petals fly uncontrollably, creating a storm of illusions.

 PHASE 5 — SHADOW AMALGAM

From the fog rises a massive black monster.

Hundreds of arms, each holding fragments of Hakuu's past deaths.

It roars. The valley cracks.

Hakuu leaps.

BLOOD BLOOMS SWORD spins.

Petals slice arms, heads, shadows.

One slash—monster explodes into hundreds of miniature shadow copies, all screaming at once.

 PHASE 6 — THE SACRIFICE

The valley collapses.

Kanoji & Aki appear, injured. Hakuu carries them through falling rocks and rivers of blood.

A giant spike rises from the ground. Hakuu jumps.

Kanoji:

"Go… finish the trial. I'll hold them here."

Hakuu hesitates but nods.

He sprints. Blood petals whirl, cutting every shadow in his path.

FINAL PHASE — THE HEART OF THE VALLEY

Hakuu reaches a chasm where the inverted sky is bleeding into the ground.

A massive figure of darkness waits—the core of the valley.

It has Kanoji's and Aki's faces twisted into one.

Hakuu whispers:

"This… ends now."

BLOOD BLOOMS SWORD glows crimson-white.

Technique Activated — HAROCHI'S FINAL BLOOM: INFERNAL PETAL STORM.

Petals rain like meteors, cutting through darkness.

The valley shudders.

Kanoji and Aki appear behind Hakuu, real and safe this time.

Hakuu lands the final strike. Darkness collapses. Valley disappears.

 OUTRO — THE PATH AHEAD

The sun rises upside down for a moment.

Hakuu, Kanoji, and Aki stand on normal ground again.

Hakuu looks at his sword. Blood still drips—but calm.

Screen text:

TRIAL 3 LOADING — THE FACE BEHIND THE SHADOW

Next Location: THE ABANDONED SANCTUARY

Narrator:

"Hakuu faced the valley where reality fractures.

Together with Kanoji and Aki, he survived the nightmare—and the lost horrors have begun to retreat."

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

CHAPTER‑6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE‑11 — "THE DEATH COUNTER"

Subtitle: Where every heartbeat counts as a death.

 INTRO — THE COUNTER STARTS

The Shadow Sanctuary gate slams shut.

A red screen floats above Hakuu:

DEATH COUNTER: 0

Hakuu:

"…Why is there a counter?"

A voice whispers:

"Because here… you live only to die."

Wind turns icy. Shadows stretch unnaturally.

Kanoji and Aki look tense.

Hakuu grips Blood Blooms Sword, hands trembling.

The ground shakes. Everything fractures.

 PHASE 1 — THE ACCIDENTAL BETRAYAL

Blood Blooms Sword suddenly glows…

and moves beyond Hakuu's control.

The blade lashes toward Kanoji:

SHHHHK—

Kanoji's hand is sliced.

Hakuu screams:

"NO! I didn't—It wasn't me!"

The sword swings again, slicing toward Kanoji's face.

A deep cut tears across his eye region.

Aki:

"Hakuu, stop! It's not you!"

Hakuu:

"I CAN'T CONTROL IT! IT'S MOVING ON ITS OWN!"

The sword darkens. Something whispers:

"Let me finish them."

Hakuu's panic grows.

PHASE 2 — THE FIRE INCIDENT

Hakuu knocks over a patrol oil container to shield Kanoji.

Oil spills over him.

A spark from the cursed sword ignites it.

Flames engulf Kanoji.

Hakuu tries desperately to extinguish the fire.

He burns too.

Kanoji, in pain:

"Hakuu… stop… just leave it…"

Hakuu breaks. A sonic boom—

Someone teleports in. Flames vanish.

A blade presses against Hakuu's neck.

 TOKOSI — THE BLIND PLAYER ARRIVES

Tokosi, blind eyes white, stands tall:

"You hurt Kanoji… You almost killed him…

So now… I kill you."

Hakuu:

"Tokosi, wait! It wasn't me—please!"

Tokosi:

"I felt it all. The sword's intent.

You're not in control.

I will stop the controller."

DEATH COUNTER: 1

Hakuu dies.

Then wakes again. Same spot.

Tokosi ready.

PHASE 3 — BONE KITSUNE FORM

Hakuu feels bones reshaping inside him.

Skeleton pulls his body like a puppet.

Flames crawl across his joints.

Hakuu's voice distorts:

"This… thing… is controlling me…"

Hakuu → Bone Kitsune Form

Tokosi:

"So this is the real enemy. Come then."

PHASE 4 — BLIND PLAYER VS BONE KITSUNE

The fight is insane.

Tokosi uses blind hearing, tracking every bone movement, every flame crackle, every petal flutter.

Swords clash—

CHING—CHING—CHING— sparks explode.

Hakuu attacks unpredictably. Skeleton puppet pulls him violently.

Tokosi parries, counters, flips, dodges.

Each strike ignites sparks from Blood Blooms Sword.

Hakuu's body cracks. Bones exposed. Flames crawl.

Tokosi:

"You're fighting it… aren't you?"

Hakuu (distorted):

"I… am… trying… to… end this…"

Skeleton snarls:

"MORE DEATH."

 PHASE 5 — DEATH LOOPS

Each clash shakes the valley.

Hakuu dies repeatedly.

DEATH COUNTER: 17

DEATH COUNTER: 29

DEATH COUNTER: 41

Tokosi breathing hard.

Hakuu's body battered, bones exposed, flames crawling his body.

Yet he keeps fighting.

Tokosi:

"I can't keep killing you…

You're still Hakuu inside."

Hakuu (weakly):

"End… me… if needed… but save Kanoji…"

FINAL PHASE — CONFESSION

Hakuu collapses.

Bone armor cracks. Flames dim.

Control breaks. For one moment, Hakuu is himself.

He looks at Kanoji, injured.

Hakuu whispers:

"I'm sorry, Kanoji…

All of this… everything—the cuts, the fire…

It wasn't me.

He… the skeleton… was controlling me.

I couldn't protect you…

Not again… not after my family… not after Shambala… not after I… killed him too."

Kanoji tries to speak.

Aki holds him steady.

Tokosi lowers his sword.

Hakuu collapses unconscious.

DEATH COUNTER freezes at 50

A whisper echoes:

"The third trial… has only begun."

OUTRO

Narrator:

"Hakuu's past has returned.

Tokosi's blade judged him.

The skeleton controlling Hakuu…

has only begun to show its horror."

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-12 — "THE SHAMBALA ECHOES"

Subtitle: Where memories bleed… and the dead speak.

 INTRO — "THE ECHOES RETURN"

The DEATH COUNTER dissolves into dust…

The entire screen flickers…

Static…

A heartbeat…

Then—

A wind older than the world roars through the ruins of the Shadow Sanctuary.

Walls collapse like they were made of paper.

The floor cracks into a black abyss.

A whisper rises:

"Shambala… awakens."

The camera descends into the opening crack—

revealing a massive underground world of floating stones, glowing red veins, and broken ancient bells ringing by themselves.

A lone figure falls through the darkness.

KANOJI.

His hand still injured.

His breathing unstable.

His soul flickering like a dying flame.

As he falls, he hears…

Voices of the dead.

Whispers of bosses he killed.

Screams of players who died here.

Then—

A massive golden bell appears below him.

It rings once.

DUOOOOM.

The sound shatters the entire reality.

Shambala awakens.

And the Echoes begin.

The intro music slowly fades into a slow, ancient Tibetan throat-chant mixed with horror ambience.

 EPISODE START — THE SHAMBALA ECHOES

Kanoji wakes on a fractured stone platform floating above endless darkness.

The air is freezing.

The silence is TOO LOUD… almost painful.

He tries to stand—

but every time he moves, the environment copies the sound with a 1-second delay.

Echoes.

But alive.

But wrong.

He steps forward.

A whisper behind him repeats:

"Forward…"

He turns.

Nobody's there.

Another step.

"Forward…"

Another whisper:

"You killed us."

Kanoji freezes.

Then the terrain around him morphs.

Stone platforms reshape into faces of the dead.

Hollow eyes.

Cracked teeth.

Screaming mouths.

This is Shambala—

the place where all deaths in the game gather.

Every player's regret.

Every boss's curse.

Every abandoned soul.

The Echoes swirl around him.

He hears a child's voice:

"Why did you leave us?"

He hears Haku's voice:

"You let him kill me."

He hears Tokosi's cold whisper:

"I cut your hand once… I can cut everything now."

Suddenly—

The entire ground shakes violently.

A massive shadow forms in front of Kanoji.

A long body.

Four arms.

A head split into three vertical faces.

The Shambala Echo Guardian.

It doesn't attack.

It only speaks:

"YOU REMEMBER THEM.

BUT THEY… REMEMBER YOU WORSE."

All the Echoes scream at once—

a thunderous, sharp, ear-splitting sound.

Kanoji collapses, holding his head, blood dripping from his ears.

His vision fades—

And he sees a small memory.

A door.

A name carved into it.

AKI.

A voice whispers:

"You forgot something…

Or someone stole your memory."

Blackout.

 MID-SCENE — THE BELL OF TRUTH

Kanoji opens his eyes.

He's tied to a giant bell.

Chains made of shadow and broken code.

The bell rings by itself.

Each ring shows a memory—

one real

one fake.

He doesn't know which is which.

One memory shows Aki saving him.

The next shows Aki trying to kill him.

One shows Kanoji defeating a boss.

Another shows the same boss defeating Kanoji.

Shambala is rewriting his past.

A whisper creeps near his ear:

"If you don't remember the truth…

You'll forget yourself."

The bell rings again.

Kanoji screams.

Darkness.

 OUTRO — "THE MEMORY THAT SHOULD NOT BE"

A cold Japanese flute starts playing.

Traditional.

Haunting.

Slow.

Kanoji wakes on the ground of Shambala.

His chains gone.

The bell silent.

A small glowing feather floats near him.

He picks it up.

The moment he touches it—

Aki's voice:

"You weren't supposed to find this yet."

Kanoji looks up.

A silhouette stands in the distance.

Tall.

Calm.

Unreadable.

A figure wearing a mask.

Not Aki.

Not Tokosi.

Something else.

Someone else.

The figure whispers:

"Welcome to the place where your memories betray you."

Fade to black.

Outro music plays — long, soft, tragic Japanese string instruments.

INTRO — THE LAND THAT UNMAKES LIFE

The ground splits open beneath Kanoji, Aki, and Tokosi.

A cold, ancient wind rises like a dying breath.

Whispers echo through the void:

"Turn back."

"Turn back."

"You will not return."

They fall into Shambala.

A world that hates anything alive.

A world that erases people piece by piece.

Everywhere around them:

Footprints ending suddenly.

Shadows dragging invisible bodies.

Crying voices with no mouths.

Silent screams vibrating through stone.

A wooden sign swings gently:

WELCOME TO SHAMBALA

THOSE WHO ENTER LEAVE HALF OF THEMSELVES BEHIND

A child laughs from the fog.

PHASE 1 — THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST

A figure appears first.

Tall.

Too tall.

Holding a small girl in its arms.

The girl's body hangs limp.

The figure rocks her gently like a lullaby.

But the girl has no head.

The tall figure's voice cracks:

"Sleep… sleep… my little one… sleep."

Tokosi steps back.

Next, a man crawls out of darkness.

Skin pale.

Eyes hollow.

Knife stained with something thick and dark.

He mutters:

"You don't belong here.

Let me fix what remains of you."

Behind Kanoji, a bathtub materializes from fog.

Liquid inside moves on its own.

Ripples form without touch.

A small doll-like girl climbs out.

No hair.

Face scratched as if she tried to remove something beneath her skin.

She digs her nails into her cheeks again.

"Make it stop.

Make it stop.

Make it stop."

Her scream is not a sound.

It is a vibration that tears into their skulls.

Shambala breathes around them.

PHASE 2 — THE SURVIVOR OF TEN YEARS

Footsteps echo.

Slow.

Heavy.

Broken.

A silhouette emerges from the ruins.

A name flickers above him.

KETSU — Survivor Class

10 YEARS IN SHAMBALA

Aki's eyes widen.

Ketsu stands like a man who has been carved away over time.

One arm missing.

One leg gone.

One eye hollowed.

One ear ragged.

Burn marks like metal branding on his face.

Deep scars across his chest and ribs.

Whole body trembling like it remembers pain more than breath.

His shadow twitches independently, as if alive.

Ketsu looks at them.

"I survived this place…

for what felt like a century."

Tokosi whispers:

"How did you come out alive?"

Ketsu smiles.

It is not a human smile.

"I didn't come out alive.

No one does.

You only leave pieces of yourself behind…

until nothing left remains."

The wind stops.

PHASE 3 — THE TRUTH OF SHAMBALA

Ketsu limps forward.

"In Shambala, your body is not yours.

Your mind is not yours.

Your pain… is entertainment for something that watches."

He points at the sky.

Or what looks like sky.

Darkness shifts.

Like an enormous presence moving above.

"I lost my hand the night the shadows learned my name.

Lost my leg when I tried to sleep.

Lost my ear trying to block the screams.

Lost my eye when I tried to see who was whispering behind me."

He breathes sharply.

"But the worst part…

is what happened when I finally found the exit."

Kanoji asks:

"What happened?"

Ketsu lowers his head.

"I reached the gate.

I touched freedom.

And Shambala tore me apart."

The air freezes.

Even the shadows look away.

A red handprint suddenly appears on Ketsu's chest.

Another on his back.

Red marks burn across him.

Ketsu trembles violently.

"It takes everything from you.

Not just flesh.

Not just bone.

It takes your identity.

Your existence."

The ground shakes.

The fog parts.

Something massive moves in the dark.

Ketsu looks at them one last time.

"When I escaped…

Shambala marked me.

A red hand.

A claiming.

Everything I ever was…

was taken."

END SCENE — CLAIMED BY THE RED HAND

Ketsu's shadow stretches unnaturally.

The red hand mark glows.

Brighter.

Brighter.

Brighter.

Ketsu whispers:

"It's coming back…

for the rest of me."

The fog behind him blossoms open like a mouth.

A gigantic red hand — not flesh, not shadow, something unreal — reaches out.

The entire world vibrates.

Kanoji, Aki and Tokosi stumble back.

Ketsu doesn't run.

He only says:

"I was never meant to leave."

The red hand closes around him.

And the world goes silent.

Shambala has taken him.

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-14 — "THE NIGHTMARE OF KITSUNE"

Subtitle: Some sacrifices are heavier than death itself.

INTRO — THE FALL OF THE WEAK

Kanoji, Aki, and Tokosi stumble through the remnants of Shambala.

The ground beneath them shakes violently.

Shadows rise from every crack.

The air is thick, suffocating.

Kanoji collapses:

"I… I can't… keep going…"

Aki grips his arm, trembling:

"We… we're not going to make it…"

Tokosi's blind eyes twitch.

He senses the death around them, the danger—

but they're too weak, too exhausted.

Every step forward feels like walking into a blade.

Then…

A roar of wind, faster than reality, cuts through the fog.

Kitsune appears.

Not running. Not alone.

Moving like a shadow itself, a figure of pure resolve and wrath.

"Step aside… or die with them," he growls.

PHASE 1 — THE EMERGENCE OF KITSUNE

The horrors of Shambala attack immediately:

Bone-thick shadows lunging from all sides.

Ghostly figures carrying screams of the dead.

Invisible chains dragging at Kanoji, Aki, and Tokosi. 

Kitsune's entrance changes everything.

Every movement he makes:

Dodges multiple attacks at once.

Strikes with precision and supernatural speed.

His sword glows faintly, cutting through the shadows like they're smoke. 

Yet every swing costs him — pain burns across his body.

Cuts, bruises, exhaustion, memories of failure.

Every strike is both physical and emotional.

Kitsune fights not for himself… but for his friends' survival.

PHASE 2 — THE LONGEST FIGHT BEGINS

The shadow wall in front of them grows.

It's massive. Unstoppable.

Shambala itself seems alive.

Kitsune charges head-on:

Shadows react instantly.

Bones crack, limbs almost torn.

Flames erupt from the ground.

Ghostly whispers try to break his focus, screaming: "You'll fail… you'll die…" 

Time slows.

Every second counts.

Every dodge is calculated.

Every strike splits a shadow into fragments… but more rise.

Kitsune screams:

"I don't care about my pain!

I don't care if I fall!

You WILL not touch them!"

PHASE 3 — EMOTIONAL PAIN

Amidst the fight, visions appear:

Kanoji pinned under rubble, struggling for air.

Aki's tearful eyes, unable to escape.

Tokosi being dragged by shadows. 

Kitsune feels every failure he ever had, every friend lost, every mistake.

Pain rips through him—not just physical, emotional pain beyond words.

Yet he fights.

Every strike becomes a statement:

"I will not fail again."

The fight stretches.

Minutes feel like hours.

Hours feel like days.

Shambala stretches time itself, making the battle endless.

PHASE 4 — SACRIFICE ESCALATES

The shadows notice Kitsune's intent:

They target him with everything they have.

Chains, spikes, fire, spectral claws.

Each attack could end his life instantly. 

But Kitsune refuses to step aside.

He throws himself between the shadows and his friends, taking every strike.

Limbs are crushed.

Blood drips, mixing with the shadow mist.

His body screams, but his spirit refuses to break.

Every move is pain multiplied by emotional weight:

Protecting friends

Facing his past failures

Accepting his inevitable death 

PHASE 5 — THE FINAL SACRIFICE

The shadow wall cracks.

Kanoji, Aki, Tokosi almost escape.

Kitsune sees the final chance.

He charges headfirst into the core of Shambala's horror.

The impact is tremendous.

The shadows collapse, clearing the way.

But Kitsune's body cannot survive:

Crushed, burned, broken, bleeding

Every wound severe

Every heartbeat pushing him closer to death 

He looks at Kanoji, Aki, Tokosi:

"Go… live… remember me…"

The last strike buries him in Shambala's darkness.

A scream echoes — not just pain, but triumph.

Kitsune dies.

OUTRO — THE LEGACY OF KITSUNE

Kanoji, Aki, and Tokosi stumble out of Shambala, exhausted but alive.

They collapse, trembling.

Kanoji whispers:

"Kitsune… he… he saved us… and he paid… everything…"

Aki clutches him, sobbing:

"He's gone… but we… we survived…"

Tokosi, silent, looks into the void:

"Shambala takes… but sometimes… sacrifice writes legends."

The fog of Shambala lingers.

The darkness waits.

But Kitsune's courage echoes, immortal.

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

EPISODE: 15"The Rise of Kitsune – The Red Shadow Devil God (Before Awakening)"

(Full Intro → Kitsune's journey → Level 1 to 100 → Kill count → Trauma → Ending normal)

INTRO

The screen flickered.

Static.

Blood-red noise.

And then… a whisper:

"PLAYER 010 – Kitsune… loading."

The sky turned black.

The entire world of Rifted Souls Online started to shake like something old… something cursed… just woke up.

Kitsune appeared on a floating rock in the Void Zone.

Level 1.

No weapons.

No armor.

Only fear in his eyes.

He wasn't a killer.

He wasn't a monster.

He was just a scared boy thrown inside a world where players laughed while killing each other.

But the world didn't know…

This same boy would one day become the Devil God.

PHASE 1 — LEVEL 1 TO LEVEL 10 (THE FEAR ERA)

Kitsune's hands trembled every time he had to fight.

The tutorial told him:

"Kill 5 shadow beasts."

He tried.

He failed.

He panicked.

He ran.

He cried alone in the corner of the Dark Forest because he didn't want to kill.

He didn't want blood on his hands.

But the shadows did not care.

They hunted him.

Trapped him.

Bit him.

Tore his arm on his first night.

He screamed.

And that scream awakened something tiny inside him…

…a tiny red spark.

Not power.

Not rage.

Just survival.

He picked up a broken dagger — shaking — and killed his first beast.

The system flashed:

[KILL +1]

[LEVEL UP → 2]

His breath froze.

He felt sick.

He hated it.

But he kept going.

By Level 10, he had killed 187 beasts…

But he still feared every one of them.

PHASE 2 — LEVEL 10 TO LEVEL 30 (THE FIRST WEAPONS)

Kitsune unlocked his first weapon:

Red Shadow Kunai (Common)

A weak weapon.

Barely sharp.

But it changed everything.

He learned how to throw from the shadows.

How to strike without seeing blood.

He avoided killing players.

He refused duels.

He rejected guild invites.

People bullied him.

"Weak shit."

"Kill yourself, noob."

"You'll never reach Level 50."

Kitsune stayed silent.

He logged in every night.

Alone.

Level 30 took him one year.

Everyone else climbed faster.

But he kept grinding.

Kept fighting his fear.

His kill count:

2,900 monsters

0 players

Not a single human life.

Yet.

PHASE 3 — LEVEL 30 TO LEVEL 60 (THE BREAKING POINT)

It happened on a rainy night.

A guild of 12 players surrounded him in Shadow Valley.

They beat him.

Mocked him.

Stole his loot.

Took his coins.

And then they said the line that destroyed his fear forever:

"Let's kill him slowly."

Something snapped.

Kitsune's breathing stopped.

His heartbeat slowed.

The red spark inside him widened.

He didn't feel fear.

He didn't feel pain.

He didn't feel guilt.

He felt nothing.

The shadows around him…

moved.

And for the first time…

The shadows obeyed him.

He killed all 12 players in 9 seconds.

The system shook:

[PLAYER KILL +12]

[FIRST BLOOD TITLE ACQUIRED]

[LEVEL UP → 38]

He stared at his hands.

They were not shaking anymore.

PHASE 4 — LEVEL 60 TO LEVEL 90 (THE MASSACRE ERA)

Kitsune stopped being scared.

He became fast.

Silent.

Efficient.

He hunted monsters during the day…

…and killed toxic players during the night.

His kill log filled with red numbers:

Monsters killed: 32,000+

Players killed: 7,000+

He didn't enjoy killing.

He didn't laugh.

He didn't celebrate.

He simply…

did what needed to be done.

People whispered:

"A red shadow killed my squad."

"No footsteps… no sound… just death."

"He's not a player. He's a curse."

The world started to fear him.

PHASE 5 — LEVEL 90 TO 100 (THE UNSTOPPABLE)

The higher zones were pure hell.

Screaming spirits.

Nightmare beasts.

Bosses that killed entire guilds.

But Kitsune walked through them like smoke.

At Level 90, he unlocked:

Red Shadow Arts – Phase 1

Create living shadows

At Level 95:

Red Shadow Arts – Phase 2

Absorb enemy fear and turn it into power

At Level 99:

Red Shadow Arts – Phase 3

Become invisible inside darkness

No one could stop him now.

When he finally reached Level 100…

The world notification flashed:

"PLAYER 010 has reached Level 100."

"Title Unlocked: The Crimson Fox."

"Warning: Abnormal energy detected…"

The sky shook.

The ground cracked.

Every NPC looked toward the north.

Every player felt a cold breath behind their neck.

The entire world whispered his new name:

"Kitsune the Red Shadow…"

But not yet…

Not yet the Devil God.

That awakening…

That transformation…

That destruction…

Would come later.

Tonight…

He was simply the strongest player the game had ever seen.

And the world was terrified of what he would become.

OUTRO

The screen closed with a whisper…

A warning…

A prophecy…

"When the red shadow returns…

the world will fall."

THE INVASION OF MISTER X

EPISODE –16 "The Crimson Ghost – When Kitsune Became Death Itself"

(No Devil God form yet — just his PRE-AWAKENED terror)

INTRO

Darkness.

Silence.

A heartbeat that was not human.

And then… a whisper that froze the entire server:

"Level 100… restrictions removed."

The world map cracked like glass.

Red smoke leaked from every tree, every rock, every shadow in the game.

Every player felt it.

Every player stopped breathing.

Because the moment Kitsune hit Level 100…

Something ancient woke up inside him.

Not a god.

Not yet.

But something far worse:

A being that kills whatever sees him.

PHASE 1 — LEVEL 100 → 120 (THE FIRST EVOLUTIONS)

The system didn't congratulate him.

It screamed.

[WARNING: Player 010 has broken the Fear Limit]

[Unlocking Forbidden Skill-tree…]

 NEW SKILL UNLOCKED: "Red Hollow Eyes"

Anyone who directly sees Kitsune's face dies instantly.

A guild of 50 celebrating their raid victory saw a red silhouette in the distance.

One blink later—

All 50 corpses hit the ground at the same time.

No wound.

No blood.

Just empty eyes.

Kitsune didn't even notice them.

He was just walking.

The notification spammed his screen:

[PLAYER KILL +50]

[LEVEL UP → 103]

That was the moment the world understood:

You don't fight Kitsune.

You don't run from him.

You don't look at him.

You pray he doesn't walk by you.

PHASE 2 — NEW WEAPONS (CURSED ANNIHILATION SET)

At Level 110, the ground beneath him opened and a voice whispered:

"Take them… they belong to you…"

And the weapons emerged.

1. The Crimson Reaper Blade

Every slash steals the enemy's lifespan.

Hit someone once → they age 20 years.

Hit twice → they turn to dust.

2. Thousand-Shadow Chains

Chains that hunt targets automatically and rip souls out.

Kitsune never needed to aim.

The chains moved like living snakes, grabbing enemies from behind walls, trees, even underground.

3. Red Eclipse Mask

Hides his face → so players don't die instantly just by seeing him.

Yes—

He was forced to wear a mask

because his own existence was too lethal.

PHASE 3 — LEVEL 120 → 150 (THE NIGHT OF EXTINCTION)

This was the legendary night.

A bug happened.

1000+ players spawned in the same region as Kitsune.

A small mistake.

A big massacre.

One player shouted:

"WHO IS THAT RED GHOST—"

He didn't finish the sentence.

All 1000 died instantly.

Dead bodies fell like rain.

The logs exploded:

[PLAYER KILL +1,000]

[LEVEL UP → 121]

[LEVEL UP → 122]

[LEVEL UP → 123]

Kitsune didn't attack.

He just… looked in their direction.

He whispered:

"I didn't want this…"

But the shadows around him answered:

"You were born for this."

PHASE 4 — NEW SKILLS (THE FORBIDDEN ARTS)

At Level 140, Kitsune unlocked the most overpowered skills any player had ever seen:

Shadow Splitter (Passive)

Every time Kitsune moves, he leaves behind a duplicate.

Each duplicate is REAL.

Each duplicate can kill.

He fought an army of 10,000 ghosts.

He didn't even raise a weapon.

His shadows killed all 10,000 for him.

 Bloodless Death (Passive)

Enemies don't bleed when he kills them.

They simply collapse like puppets with cut strings.

No sound.

No scream.

Just instant silence.

 Red Grave (Ultimate)

Kitsune marks a 1 km radius.

Everything inside that radius

— monsters, players, bosses —

instantly dies

and their bodies turn to red ash.

Cooldown: None.

The entire server prayed he never used it.

He did.

Once.

The map lost 3,900 players in 1 second.

He leveled up 11 times from that single pulse.

PHASE 5 — LEVEL 150 → 200 (THE UNSEEN REAPER)

After Level 150, Kitsune wasn't a player.

He was a phenomenon.

When he entered a zone, the sky turned dark red.

Birds stopped flying.

The air stopped moving.

Even NPCs closed their eyes out of instinct.

Players started calling him:

"The Crimson Ghost."

"The Walking Death Signal."

"The Man You Cannot Look At."

People built rules:

Never enter a dark area

Never go to a red-marked zone

If you see a masked player with no footsteps → LOG OUT IMMEDIATELY 

Even logging out didn't always help.

Many players died the next time they logged in if Kitsune had looked at them earlier.

Because his curse lingered.

At Level 200, the system gave him a title:

"THE DEVIL GOD (SEALED)"

But he had not awakened.

Not yet.

His body was ready.

His power was overflowing.

The world was trembling.

But the true awakening…

the one that would destroy the entire game…

was still sealed inside him.

Waiting.

Growing.

Hunting.

OUTRO

The screen flashed blood-red.

A whisper echoed in every player's ears:

"When the seal breaks…

the world will vanish."

And the screen faded to black.

CHAPTER-6 — THE LOST HORROR

EPISODE-16 — "THE WORLD HUNTS THE RED SHADOW"

Subtitle: When fear becomes a weapon, even armies die in seconds.

---

INTRO — THE BOUNTY REVEALED

The servers trembled.

The news flashed across every map:

"PLAYER 010 — KITSUNE — LEVEL 200 — RED SHADOW DEVIL (SEALED)

Bounty: 1,000,000,000 Gold / All Territories / Unlimited PvP Rights"

Every nation, guild, and player instantly mobilized.

10 million players?

Gone.

The system could barely contain the chaos.

Only 5% were shown — the strongest 10,000 elite hunters who dared approach him.

They carried:

Plasma railguns

Anti-shadow swords

Armored mechs

Forbidden arts and cursed relics

Everyone wanted to die, but only Kitsune could decide.

The red sky above the battlefield cracked.

The ground split into jagged black scars.

Shadows moved of their own will.

And in the center…

Kitsune stood, calm, breathing slowly.

Fear limit broken.

---

PHASE 1 — FEAR LIMIT BREAK ACTIVATION

Kitsune's hand glowed crimson.

Blood-red chains wrapped around his arms.

His shadows became living blades, swirling like storm clouds.

Even the strongest hunter who dared move first…

Their sword vaporized into red smoke.

Every movement of his hand cut space itself.

A single swipe:

Took off the hand of a player wielding a cursed sword.

Sliced a mech's armor clean in half.

A sniper rifle? Gone, melted into nothing.

He didn't even need to dodge.

The opponents moved too slowly.

Fear was no longer inside him — it was projected outward, controlling the battlefield.

Red Hollow Eyes activated.

5 players looked at him—one blink—and instantly collapsed.

Not dead? No.

Their souls were partially ripped.

They screamed in the void.

---

PHASE 2 — THE FIRST CLASH (10,000 VS KITSUNE)

The 10,000 elite hunters charged together.

Formation perfect.

Weapons OP.

Skills fully maxed.

Kitsune smiled.

And the ground turned red.

Shadow Blades—10,000 moving shadows—slammed into the formation.

Cinematic moment:

Plasma guns fired… red mist absorbed them.

Mechs swung their arms… cut clean by invisible blades.

Hand-to-hand fighters? Limbs torn in seconds.

Kitsune's hand strike:

One swipe = five players dead.

Another swipe = two elite hunters' swords shattered mid-air.

Another = shadow tentacles shredded an armored mech like paper.

No anime had ever shown this much OP destruction in one frame.

No horror, no fear, no death limit.

He moved like a storm.

But also… like a ghost.

No one could see him clearly.

No one could predict where the next strike would hit.

---

PHASE 3 — WEAPONS OF THE RED SHADOW

Kitsune unleashed his arsenal:

1. Crimson Reaper Blade → Every slash absorbs vitality and multiplies strength.

2. Thousand-Shadow Chains → Hunt 200 targets automatically, slicing through armor.

3. Red Eclipse Mask → Lets him survive the reflections of OP hunter attacks.

4. Shadow Claws (New) → Cuts reality itself; a swipe can cut through shields, walls, even terrain.

5. Bloodless Death → Any player in melee range collapses instantly, no bleed, just shadow death.

His strikes were fast.

Invisible.

Unstoppable.

10k hunters tried to surround him.

By the time 2,000 got close…

1,000 were already gone.

Another 2,000 screamed and vanished.

---

PHASE 4 — THE HAND-TO-HAND NIGHTMARE

Some hunters approached for direct combat.

Kitsune's hands became living weapons.

Palm swipe = dismembered arm

Punch = cuts through mechs

Finger jab = destroys sword handles mid-air

He wasn't holding weapons anymore.

He was the weapon.

The battlefield was littered with floating armor pieces, broken swords, and shredded mechs.

Players screamed.

Red shadows filled the air.

Horror reached every corner of the world.

---

PHASE 5 — THE UNSTOPPABLE HAZE

Kitsune paused for a moment.

Just one second.

The system reported:

PLAYER KILL +7,842

LEVEL UP → 201 (Hidden XP Activated)

He didn't even touch the rest.

Red mist spread 500 meters.

It warped reality.

Even elite hunters outside direct combat felt instant fear paralysis.

The battlefield was silent…

Except for the sound of shadows slicing the world.

He looked at the remaining hunters: 10,000 → 2,000 still fighting.

And whispered:

"You came… thinking you could kill me?"

"Let me show you what a nightmare looks like."

---

OUTRO — THE WORLD WATCHES IN TERROR

Reports poured in:

Entire cities offline

Guild HQs destroyed

Spectator servers logged thousands of deaths

Kitsune stood alone.

Red chains dangling.

Blood-red fog swirling.

Every weapon he wielded alive.

Every strike deadly.

The world realized:

This is not a player.

This is a nightmare walking.

The true Devil God awakening?

Still coming.

The world only knew one thing:

"Kitsune cannot be stopped. Only feared."
