Ek chhota sa sheher tha Rivertown, jahan ek normal sa ladka Rihan apni maa ke saath rehta tha. Ek din tez bijli, tufan aur barish wali raat me, Rihan school se ghar laut raha tha, tabhi ek ajeeb sa bijli ka gola uske bilkul paas gira. Us din uska kuch nahi hua, par agle din se uske andar kuch badlav hone laga.
Usse mehsoos hone laga ki wo apni parchai (shadow) ko control kar sakta hai — uski parchai zinda jaise ban gayi thi! Wo kahin bhi apni parchai ko bhej sakta tha, chhup sakta tha aur dusro ki chhupayi hui baatein sun sakta tha.
Rihan samajh gaya ki uske paas ab ek superpower hai, aur usne apne aap ko naam diya — Shadow Boy.
Chapter 2: Pehla Mission
Rivertown me ek gang tha, Black Mask Gang, jo chhote baccho ko kidnap karke bechne ka kaam karta tha. Police bhi un tak nahi pahuch pa rahi thi. Tab Rihan ne faisla kiya ki wo apni shadow powers ka istemal karega.
Usne apni parchai ko gang ke adda tak bheja, unki saari planning sun li, aur unka raaz samajh gaya. Raat ko, Shadow Boy ne bina kisi ko dekhe, apni parchai se unke haath baandh diye aur unki location police ko bhej di.
Agle din poora sheher Shadow Boy ka fan ban gaya — lekin koi jaanta nahi tha ki asli hero kaun hai!
Chapter 3: Andhere Ka Raja
Rihan ko laga ki sab kuch theek ho gaya, Black Mask Gang jail me chali gayi, aur sheher safe ho gaya. Lekin ek raat jab wo apne kamre me so raha tha, tab uski parchai apne aap hilne lagi! Usne dekha ek dusri shadow uski wall par aa rahi thi, lekin us room me koi tha hi nahi.
Tabhi ek awaaz aayi —
"Tum samajhte ho sirf tumhare paas shadow ki power hai? Main tumhara asli dushman hoon — Dark Phantom!"
Dark Phantom ek supervillain tha jo andhere aur shadows ka malik tha. Wo ek jadugar ke shraap se paida hua tha aur duniya ko apne andhere me lapetna chahta tha.
Rihan ne samjha ki uske powers sirf ek chhoti si shuruaat thi. Dark Phantom usse kahin zyada taqatwar tha. Ab Shadow Boy ko sirf apni power nahi, apni akal aur himmat ka bhi istemal karna tha.
Dark Phantom ne usse challenge diya:
"Ek hafte me ya to apne powers chhod do, ya poora Rivertown andhere me doob jayega!"
Ab asli kahani yahan se shuru hoti hai — kya Shadow Boy apni shaktiyon ko aur strong bana payega? Kya wo Dark Phantom ko hara paayega?
Chapter 4: Guru Ka Gyaan
Dark Phantom ka challenge sun kar Rihan puri raat so nahi paya. Usse samajh aa gaya ki sirf apni chhoti si shadow power se wo Dark Phantom ko nahi hara sakta.
Agli subah, uske sapne me ek budha aadmi aaya, jiska naam tha Master Raiden — ek purana Shadow Warrior. Master Raiden ne usse bataya ki duniya me kuch logon ko Shadow Force milti hai, aur Rihan unhi me se ek hai. Lekin wo abhi tak sirf pehli stage me hai.
Master Raiden ne usse ek secret jagah par bulaya — The Shadow Temple. Wahan par Rihan ko apni shadow ko control karne ki asli training mili:
Shadow clone banana
Andhere me invisible rehna
Shadow teleportation
Dushman ki shadow ko pakad kar usse powerless banana
Training bahut hard thi. Kabhi kabhi to Rihan gir jata, thak jata, par har baar wo khud se kehta —
"Main haar nahi manunga, Rivertown mujhe chahiye, aur mujhe apni takat chahiye!"
Ek hafte ke andar uski powers double ho gayi, aur usne apna naya suit bhi design kiya —
Shadow Suit V2 — jo andhere me usse aur tez aur powerful banata tha.
Chapter ke end me Master Raiden ne kaha —
"Ab tum tayyar ho, Shadow Boy. Tumhara asli muqabla bas shuru hua hai."
