🔥 Arc Supreme — Chapter 1 (English Version)
A cool evening breeze slipped gently through the old wooden window.
Inside the small house—far too quiet for someone to live alone—
a red-haired boy stood before two framed photographs.
In them, a man and a woman smiled warmly.
His hand clenched slightly.
"…Mom… Dad…"
His voice trembled, though he tried to hold it in.
"Today… I finally saved enough… fifty thousand baht…"
He took a deep breath before lifting his gaze to the photos again.
"Tomorrow… I'm going to another world."
The dullness that once filled his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a faint spark.
"I'll become number one in that world… just watch me."
A smile formed on his lips—
even as his tears had yet to dry.
He turned around immediately.
"I'm off!"
The wooden door burst open with a loud bang! as the boy—Kacha—ran out without looking back.
The alley market was crowded with people.
Voices overlapped—vendors calling out, customers bargaining.
Kacha stopped in front of a small shop.
A strange little store, filled with unusual items.
And right at the center of it—
"… "
It was a dimensional gate.
About the size of a person, pitch black, with faint glowing patterns.
Kacha swallowed hard.
Then placed a bag of money on the counter.
"Here… fifty thousand."
The middle-aged shopkeeper looked up at him.
"…Are you sure?"
Her voice didn't sound like she was trying to sell anything—
it sounded like a warning.
"A kid like you… might not survive in there."
Kacha clenched his fists.
"I have nothing left to lose."
She stared at him for a moment…
Then let out a sigh.
"…Fine."
She took the money.
"Then it's yours—the dimensional gate."
A few minutes later,
Kacha was carrying the dimensional gate back home.
It was heavy, but his eyes were filled with hope.
"Just a little more… just a little more…"
But suddenly—
THUD!!!
A powerful impact from behind sent him crashing to the ground.
"Ugh—!!"
The gate slammed hard onto the floor.
Before Kacha could react—
THUMP!
Someone's foot stepped down hard on his back.
"Argh…!"
"Hahaha…"
A familiar voice echoed.
"What's up, redhead…?"
Kacha gritted his teeth.
"…Dreammy…"
A tall boy in black stood over him,
his eyes filled with contempt.
"Nice item you got there… a dimensional gate?"
He glanced down and smirked.
"Mind if I borrow it?"
"Don't touch it…!"
Kacha pushed himself up.
"It's mine!"
"Yours?" Dreammy laughed. "You think you deserve it?"
He reached out to grab it—
But suddenly—
BAM!
Kacha kicked his wrist with full force.
"Gah—!!"
A small knife flew out of Dreammy's hand.
"You—!!"
Kacha stood up immediately, breathing heavily.
"I won't let anyone take it from me…!"
Dreammy's face twisted with anger.
"…You think you've gotten stronger or something?"
He pulled out another knife.
"Then let's see."
"… "
Kacha froze for a split second—
Then Dreammy lunged forward!
"Die!"
The blade came down fast—
But—
SWISH!
Kacha dodged, rolling to the side,
then countered instantly—
BAM!
Another kick to the wrist.
"AAARGH!!"
The knife flew away again.
Kacha didn't hesitate.
He rushed forward, grabbed the dimensional gate,
and turned to run immediately.
"Hey—!!"
Dreammy shouted.
"You freakin' red-haired bastard!!!"
"… "
Kacha didn't look back.
His heart pounded violently.
His hands gripped the gate tightly.
"I won't let anyone… take this from me…"
he muttered to himself,
before disappearing into the darkness of the alley.
Tonight…
was the last night of his old world.
And tomorrow—
"Arc Supreme" begins.
