Arin Vale never imagined that his life would end like this. One day, he would be betrayed and killed by his closest friend. In a single moment, laughter and betrayal intertwined, leaving him trembling in pain.
"Why… why are you doing this?" Arin whispered, his eyes wide with disbelief.
But there was no answer. Only the cold blade, suffocating pain, and darkness.
Wait. Suddenly, everything stopped.
From the heart of the darkness, a strange, flickering light appeared. A voice echoed in his mind:
"Host detected. Forbidden Magic System activated."
Arin opened his eyes. He… was back—five years ago, in his own body.
The classroom where children slept peacefully, familiar faces from the past. But one thought burned in his mind: "I'm alive again… and this time, I will become stronger."
The memories of five years of loss and pain surged within him, igniting a fire he had never felt before.
Then he realized something extraordinary: a new power had awakened inside him.
A system unlike anything he had ever seen—the Forbidden Magic System.
"Level 1 activated. Skill available: Shadow Strike."
Arin couldn't even imagine how strong he would become with this power. But his goal was clear: he would take revenge on those who betrayed him.
A fire ignited in his eyes. In that moment, he knew one thing: his life would never be the same again.
Cliffhanger:
A sudden knock echoed on the door.
What awaited him outside—Arin did not know. But one thing was certain: the Forbidden Magic System was now with him.
