Eren gasped as he plunged into the darkness below, the wind rushed past him as he fell. His mind flew, trying to make sense of what was happening right there. Then, suddenly, he felt a familiar sensation wash over him, it was that comforting warmth that enveloped his body and eased his fall.“Fred!” Eren called out, relief flooding through him as he realized that the system had come to his rescue once again. Eren found himself being lifted back up towards the surface, with a gentle whoosh.As he appeared from the darkness, Eren found himself standing once again on solid ground, although he was a bit shaken from the fall. He took some time to collect himself, and he was grateful for the system's Intervention. Meanwhile, deep within the shadows of the desert, the dark hand lay stretched out on the ground, his body battered and covered with bruises from the fall. He groaned in pain as he struggled to regain his strength, the memories of his encounter with Eren were still fresh in his mi

(Tokyo, Japan)“Fujiwara san, the clan head, is looking for you?” A middle-aged woman dressed in red kimono said to the topless youth in the hall.“Shua shua shua shua shua shua shua shua" the rhythmic sound of slashing echoed in the silent room.“Fujiwara-san, the head, requested that… Slash”The sound of blade cutting flesh mixed with the sharp whistle of the air interrupted the head maid.Silence descended in the room as the only faintly audible sound was the sound of the maid's heart thumping. Cold sweat dripped from her chin to her collarbones as she touched the cut on her neck. A little more and her head would have been severed.“Please forgive me Fujiwara san, I over stepped my boundaries” the head maid said with trepidation as she knelt on the polished floor.For a moment she had forgotten the terror of Fujiwara Takashi, the smiling demon. The only child of the Fujiwara's who has more enemies than an average general. At age five, he ordered the extermination of an entire clan

As Eren gathered his thoughts, he knew he had to act fast. With Yuri in danger, he couldn't afford to waste any time. He dialed Grandpa Huo's number, and he hoped for guidance and support.“Hello, Grandpa Huo,” Eren said as his heart raced with anticipation.“Eren, my boy, what's the matter?” Grandpa Huo's voice came through the phone, filled with concern.“Yuri's been kidnapped,” Eren blurted out, his words rushed and urgent.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Grandpa Huo spoke again. “Kidnapped? By whom?”“I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out,” Eren declared, determination burning in his chest.“Be careful Eren. Since we don't know her kidnappers yet, they might be in dangerous territory,” Grandpa Huo warned, his voice stern yet filled with love.“I will, Grandpa. But I can't just sit back and do nothing,” Eren replied, his resolve firm.Eren formed a plan in his mind, He knew he couldn't do this alone. He needed help, and he knew exactly whom t

Eren sat across from Ketesu, the head of the ONA family, as they discussed the forthcoming rescue mission for Yuri. The atmosphere was strained, filled with the weight of past occurrences and the urgency of their current situation.“Ketesu, I need to understand more about the rift between the Takashi and the ONA,” Eren said, his voice filled with curiosity.Ketesu nodded solemnly, he reflected on the years of struggle and loss. “It's a history as old as time, Eren, one I wouldn't want to remember. Our families were once in-laws, bounded by marriage and blood. But now, we are arch enemies, locked in a never-ending cycle of revenge and bloodshed.”Eren listened intently, he was eager to know the truth behind the rivalry between the two families.“It all started with a betrayal,” Ketesu continued, his voice filled with bitterness. “The Takashis wanted power above everyone else, and they were willing to do anything to attain it. They don't care who is being killed or stepped on, they want

Yuri arrived from the stimulation pod, her mind still staggering from the illusions she had just experienced. Takashi Fujiwara stood before her, his expression incomprehensible as he awaited her response.“What did you see, Yuri?” he asked, his tone mixed with interest.Yuri paused for a moment. She was not sure how to express the whirlwind of Emotions that had overwhelmed her during the test. But she knew she couldn't hide the truth from Takashi, not when her entire being yelled for truth and honesty.“I saw… I saw illusions,” she started, her voice calm despite the confusion within her. “Illusions meant to deceive me, to make me doubt the truth.”Takashi's views narrowed slightly, a hint of pleasure flashing across his face. “And did you give in to these illusions, Yuri? Did you believe what you saw?”Yuri's heart pounded in her chest as she examined her words thoroughly. She knew that agreeing to give in to the illusions would only enhance Takashi's influence over her, but she als
