(Recap & Intro)
Previously, Jay unlocked Soulrender, awakened new powers, and read the truth about his rising potential. Now, the story continues...
The screen fades in as Jay holds the crimson diary in his hands.
He winces. "Aah…"
He flips it open to the Power Page.
Page 40 — Protagonist's Stats Strength: 120 Power: 97 Intelligence: 62 Health: 748 Speed: 83
Beneath the stats, glowing letters appear:
"If you go to page 100, you can get 5 wishes."
Jay's eyes widen.
"Five wishes…? With this, I can finally learn everything about my mom and dad."
He closes the diary, and in an instant—
his body shifts back into the real world.
A new sensation flows through him, wild and unrestricted.
For the first time, he can teleport anywhere in the city without limitation.
Jay whispers to himself,
"I have to use these powers carefully…"
He raises his hand.
"Summon — Soulrender."
A swirling red light gathers before forming the massive sword in his grasp.
Soulrender pulses… and with a thunderous roar,
a Soul Dragon bursts forth from the blade, spiraling through the air.
Jay leaps onto the dragon's back, and it carries him across the glowing night sky toward home.
He rings the doorbell.
His sister opens the door, confused.
"Jay!? Weren't you inside a few seconds ago?"
Jay forces a smile.
"Yeah… I had to step out for something."
She frowns.
"Jay, you've been acting really strange lately."
"I'm fine," he replies softly, walking past her.
He shuts himself in his room and collapses into sleep.
(Next Morning)
Jay's phone vibrates violently.
A panicked voice screams through the speaker,
"Come quickly! Demons have attacked Athiria City!"
Jay doesn't hesitate.
"I'm on my way!"
He rushes outside and jumps into his car.
Meanwhile, his sister switches on the TV.
But every news channel shows the same message:
"This channel is temporarily unavailable."
"Huh? Why isn't a single news channel working?" she mutters.
Jay overhears and clenches his fist.
So they blocked the media… to stop people from panicking.
He simply says, "I don't know…"
Driving at full speed, Jay soon hits heavy traffic.
Cars are stuck. People are panicking.
Jay grits his teeth.
"I don't have time for this."
He steps out of the car.
"Summon — Soul Dragon!"
With a blast of soul energy, the massive dragon emerges again.
Jay climbs onto its back, and with a single powerful flap—
the dragon launches into the sky, headed straight toward Athiria City,
where smoke, red light, and chaos rise into the clouds.
