Synopsis
In a world where power defines destiny, Seorah hides secrets that could change everything. Every person is born with a unique ability-and a soulmate already chosen by fate. Kang Su Hyun, heir of the most feared clan, is untouchable. Handsome, dangerous, and arrogant, his powers bend reality itself-he can teleport anywhere, manipulate minds, and control objects with a thought. Yet, when a mysterious girl crosses his path, his perfect control shatters: his eyes flare red, revealing a power even he doesn't fully understand. Park Seron, kind-hearted and seemingly powerless, has lived a life of neglect, unaware of the magic coursing through her veins. But when her birthmark glows golden for the first time, destiny begins to stir. Unknown to her, this golden light is the only force that can tame Su Hyun's fire-the legendary power lost to history. As their worlds collide in the bustling halls of Seorah University, red clashes with gold, arrogance meets innocence, and two souls destined to unite-or destroy each other-begin their fateful journey. Power. Fate. Love. Betrayal. Sometimes, the universe doesn't ask if you're ready-it just pulls you toward the one who can change everything. ✨ "the way of heir"- some powers ignite the soul... some awaken destiny.

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER - 1

🌌 INTRO - The World of Seorah

(Voiceover - soft, haunting female tone)

"In Seorah, power is not a choice. It's your birthright... your curse... your destiny."

"From the moment we open our eyes, our power decides who we'll become.

Some rule.

Some obey.

And some... don't even know what they're capable of.

The Mansion of Shadows - Kang Su Hyun

Inside the mansion - footsteps echo.

A young man walks across a marble hall. Every step he takes causes subtle distortions in the air.

He lifts his finger - a black coat flies from across the room, perfectly wrapping around him.

A watch spins in midair, clicking into place on his wrist.

He passes a table - teapot floats up, pouring into his cup.

Kang Su Hyun, 22, the heir of the most feared clan in Seorah - smirks slightly, his eyes gleaming faintly crimson.

Mrs. Kang (his mother):

"Su Hyun-ah... must you use your powers for everything? You're not a child."

Su Hyun (grinning, sipping his tea):

"If I'm powerful, why shouldn't I remind the world of it?

Power should be seen."

(He turns and walks outside. A luxurious black car waits. The doors open automatically, engine hums alive. He sits - no driver. The car drives itself, guided by his telekinetic energy.)

As the car glides through the neon city streets, his reflection stares back at him - unreadable, dangerous.

(Voiceover - Su Hyun)

"Everyone fears power... yet they crave it.

I just learned how to be what they fear."

The House of the Forgotten - Park Se Ron

A smaller, simpler house - sunlight pours in through soft curtains.

On the terrace, Park Se Ron, 21, sits surrounded by birds perched on the railing. She sprinkles crumbs gently, smiling with childlike warmth.

Se Ron (softly, to the birds):

"You know... we're the same.

No one gives you food because you're weak.

And no one gives me power... because I'm powerless."

(The birds chirp back as if understanding her sadness.)

Suddenly, her adoptive mother storms in - angry, sharp voice echoing across the terrace.

Mrs. Park:

"Park Se Ron! I told you to clean the kitchen! Not play with these filthy birds!"

Se Ron (startled, standing up):

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll do it right now."

(The mother swats at the birds, making them scatter. One small bird hesitates, and Se Ron quickly shields it, whispering goodbye before hurrying inside.)

Cut to: Se Ron in the kitchen, cleaning quietly. The sound of running water matches her soft humming. Her reflection looks tired but still gentle.

After cleaning, she grabs her bag, getting ready for university.

Mrs. Park (from another room):

"And remember! Don't you dare tell anyone you don't have powers!

You'll embarrass us again, useless girl!"

Se Ron (in a small, trembling but sweet voice):

"Okay, Mom... I won't."

(She walks out of the house, soft wind brushing her hair - and faintly, her golden tattoo flickers under sunlight, almost glowing for a second, but she doesn't notice.)

Seorah University - The Gathering of the Gifted

(Wide shot of a vast campus filled with floating lights, magic barriers, teleportation circles, and elemental energy being casually used.)

Groups of students show off their powers - creating small flames, levitating books, shaping air currents.

Suddenly, everything stops.

A hush falls. The atmosphere thickens like the air itself is scared.

Kang Su Hyun walks in through the main gate, black coat flowing, crimson aura faintly visible.

Nearby students immediately lower their powers - flames extinguish, teleports glitch.

A single look from him, and someone's telekinetic hold on their notebook just collapses.

Da Bin (his best friend, laughing):

"Bro, you're literally the walking power cut of this university."

Su Hyun (smirks):

"I don't let anyone here forget who they're standing beside."

(They walk through campus, students whispering and watching. He stops as if sensing something - a sudden chill.)

First Cross - The Red and The Gold

From the other side of the courtyard - Park Se Ron walks quietly, head down, clutching her bag.

As she passes by Su Hyun -

Time seems to slow.

A gentle wind swirls. His hair lifts slightly.

For the first time, his perfect control shatters.

His heartbeat echoes in his ears.

His eyes flash red.

All sound fades except the soft chime of wind and a faint golden glow near her wrist.

He turns - fast. But she's already gone into the crowd.

He touches his chest, confused.

His breath uneven.

Da Bin (wide-eyed):

"Bro... your eyes."

Su Hyun:

"What?"

Da Bin (pointing, panicked):

"Look-mirror!"

He checks his reflection in a glass wall - his eyes burning crimson, alive with power.

He blinks, and it fades.

Confusion turns to curiosity... and unease.

Meanwhile, Se Ron enters her classroom.

Her best friend Min Ji waves.

Min Ji:

"Late again? Let me guess... kitchen chores?"

Se Ron (laughing softly):

"You know me too well."

As she places her bag down, her wrist suddenly glows bright gold.

The tattoo pulses like it's alive.

Min Ji (shocked):

"Se Ron... your wrist!!"

Se Ron (panicked):

"Wh-what is this?! It never did this before-"

Min Ji:

"Are you sure someone's not using illusion magic on us?"

Se Ron (confused laugh):

"Maybe... maybe it's a prank."

(They both laugh nervously, trying to shake it off, but Se Ron keeps glancing at her wrist - the light fades slowly, leaving her heart uneasy.)

(Cut to outside - a light breeze moves across the campus. The camera pans between Su Hyun and Se Ron in different places - both feeling something shifting around them.)

Su Hyun looks up. The clouds swirl unnaturally.

His heartbeat echoes louder.

Se Ron, standing by a window, feels a single drop of rain fall on her palm - even though the sky is still clear.

Both whisper at the same time:

> "What... is happening to me?"

Quick flashes:

Su Hyun in his car, gripping the seat, eyes glowing faintly.

Se Ron looking at her golden tattoo under her sleeve, eyes filled with confusion.

A mysterious old man (the Chancellor) in his office watching the university's sky through a crystal orb.

Da Bin looking worriedly at Su Hyun's reflection.

A close-up of Su Hyun's eyes... red.

A close-up of Se Ron's tattoo... glowing gold.

Fade to black.

> "When two souls meant to unite finally meet...

the universe stops breathing for a second."
