Narrator (Panel 1 - peaceful village landscape, sunset):
"Once upon a time, there was a village wrapped in peace—a place untouched by war, sorrow, or darkness. But peace… is fragile."
Narrator (Panel 2 - ancient, sacred church surrounded by villagers praying):
"Two hundred years ago, a being of pure destruction, known only as 'Chaos,' was sealed within the heart of a sacred church. The one who accomplished this feat was a goddess—though she could not destroy Chaos, she bound it with divine power."
Narrator (Panel 3 - time-lapse transition, church stands untouched through storms and sun):
"The villagers prayed day after day, century after century, unaware that time erodes all seals… and all foolish hearts."
Narrator (Panel 4 - shadowy figure sneaks into church, seal cracking):
"One man, blinded by ambition and dreams of a 'new era,' unsealed the nightmare. A being once buried in divine silence… was awakened."
Narrator (Panel 5 - chaos spreading like ink across the land):
"This was not the only Chaos. Across the world, other gods had sealed fragments—entities that, if freed, could plunge the world into ruin."
Narrator (Panel 6 - village burning, dark figure in the center):
"The one he awakened was known as 'Nightmare'—a Chaos entity that brought a massacre unlike any other. An entire village… gone in a single night."
Narrator (Panel 7 - armored figure standing before the flames):
"But in the face of ruin stood one knight—Kine Lightis. A warrior blessed with a holy aura, and the only one capable of withstanding Nightmare's corrupting power."
(Scene: Kine vs. Nightmare)
Nightmare looms tall, wreathed in shadows, controlling villagers like puppets. Innocents fall. Kine stands firm, his sword glowing with radiant light.
Narrator:
"Nightmare manipulated the shadows of the fallen, twisting them into weapons. Only those blessed with aura could resist its grip."
Kine (shouting):
"STOP!" (slashes forward, light erupting from his blade)
Nightmare is thrown against the church wall, coughing dark mist.
Nightmare (smirking):
"A holy sword… how annoying."
From the shadows, he conjures a dark blade—his own weapon of chaos.
Narrator:
"The battle raged—holy light clashing with darkness. Each strike from Kine drove Nightmare back, but the Chaos grinned."
Nightmare:
"If I had regained my full strength… you'd be nothing but an insect beneath my feet."
Kine (furious):
"Shut your mouth!"
In a final burst of light, Kine drives the holy sword through Nightmare's chest. Nightmare is not slain—but bound again.
Narrator:
"The legend says… that whoever draws the holy sword shall unseal the Nightmare once more."
As Nightmare fades, his voice echoes—
Nightmare:
"There are more of us… many more…" (laughs as he vanishes)
Kine (panting):
"You bastard…"
Narrator (Final panel - time skip, sunrise on a new land):
"A hundred years passed. The scars of that day faded… but the world remained cracked beneath the surface."
Narrator:
"Now begins the journey… of a boy named Zyroth."
