Night had fallen over the city. The streets were quiet, but Ayan could feel the pulse of hidden energy—darkness stirring just beyond sight.
[System Notification]
Monster Hunt Available: Level 1 Threat
Objective: Track and defeat urban shadow creatures
Reward: 200 Power Points
Ayan tightened the straps on his hoodie. His fists glowed faintly with Shadow energy. Tonight, he wouldn't just train—he would fight.
The first creatures appeared near the abandoned subway station: small shadow beasts with glowing red eyes, claws sharper than steel.
[Combat Suggestion: Shadow Step + Shadow Kick Combo]
Ayan activated Shadow Step, appearing behind the nearest creature. His Shadow Kick struck, sending it flying into a wall.
Another two lunged at him from the darkness. He teleported, dodged, and struck with precision. Each attack felt fluid, each movement faster than before.
After clearing the smaller monsters, the system alerted him:
[Boss Detected: Level 1 Shadow Beast – Massive]
From the deepest part of the station, a massive shadow emerged. Its body towered over Ayan, eyes glowing like molten fire. Every step shook the ground.
Ayan swallowed hard. This was unlike anything he had faced before.
[System Message: Boss Fight Ready]
Recommended Skills: Shadow Step, Shadow Kick, Shadow Punch
The beast roared, shadows expanding around it like a dark storm.
Ayan's heart raced. He took a deep breath and focused every ounce of his system-enhanced energy.
"This is it. My first real fight."
The shadows collided. The city's silence shattered.
The battle had begun.
