Light and Shadow Intertwined
墨書 Inktalez
Luca stood in the bustling crowd, his gaze vacant, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him. The neon lights of the city flickered, reflecting off his slightly pale face, yet they could not illuminate the confusion within him. He was an ordinary office worker, repeating a mechanical life every day until that extraordinary night.
As night fell, Luca worked late as usual. He walked home alone, the streetlights casting a dim glow that elongated his lonely shadow. His footsteps were heavy, filled with uncertainty about the future and helplessness regarding reality.
Suddenly, a piercing screech of brakes shattered the night's tranquility. Luca looked up to see an out-of-control car speeding toward him. His heart raced, and time seemed to freeze at that moment. He wanted to run, but his body felt paralyzed, unable to move.
Just as the car was about to hit him, a strange force erupted from within him. His body was enveloped in a faint blue light that spread rapidly to his limbs like a living entity. Luca felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through him; his body became light, as if he could dance with the wind.
Instinctively, he leaped aside as the car whizzed past him, grazing his body before crashing into the guardrail. Shaken, Luca stood up and looked at his hands; the blue light had vanished, but he could still clearly feel the power surging within him.
He glanced around and realized no one had noticed the strange occurrence. A wave of inexplicable fear and excitement washed over him. He knew his life would be completely transformed by this incident.
Back home, he sat under dim lighting, reflecting on everything that had just happened. He tried to summon that power again, but no matter how hard he tried, it seemed to have disappeared completely.
He opened his computer and began searching for information about superpowers, but the chaotic online information offered no explanations for what he had experienced. He felt a sense of helplessness—was this merely a random event, or did he truly possess some unknown power?
Just as he was about to give up, his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number; after hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
"Luca, your time has come," said a deep and mysterious voice on the other end.
"Who are you?" Luca asked nervously.
"I am your guide; your Awakening is just the beginning. You will enter a whole new world," the voice continued.
A wave of inexplicable trust surged within Luca; he knew this call would lead him down a new path.
Following the instructions from the call, Luca arrived at a secluded warehouse. The door slowly opened to reveal a figure in a black robe standing inside, their gaze deep as if they could see into one's soul.
"Welcome, Luca," said the person's voice, identical to that from the phone.
"Who are you? What is going on?" Luca asked.
"I am your mentor; from today onward, I will teach you how to control your powers," the figure replied.
Luca's mind was filled with questions, yet he also felt an unexplainable anticipation. He knew this would mark a new beginning in his life.
In the following months, under his mentor's guidance, Luca began learning how to control and use his powers. He discovered he could manipulate light and shadow and even become invisible for short periods. His powers grew steadily, but he also realized that such abilities came with responsibilities.
Luca started using his powers to help those in need; he became a guardian of the city. However, he found that as his powers increased, his life became increasingly complicated. He had to conceal his identity while facing enemies who sought to exploit his abilities.
Standing on a rooftop high above the city, with the night wind tousling his hair, Luca looked down at the sprawling metropolis below him and felt a surge of emotion. He was no longer just an ordinary office worker; he was now a guardian endowed with extraordinary abilities. He understood that his life would be filled with challenges and dangers ahead, but he was ready to embrace it all.
Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he felt the power within him. He knew that his journey was just beginning.
