Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The First Hunt

Franz grew up knowing that having a rainbow mark made him a variant and an outcast in the eyes of others. However, he didn't let that stop him from living a quiet life, until one day, his parents were robbed of their marks and turned into monsters. The villagers were in danger, and Franz knew he had to act fast. He watched in horror as his parents attacked their own neighbors, and when he saw a child from a neighboring family being eaten by his own parents, he knew he had no choice but to intervene.

With a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, Franz fought against his parents who had turned into monsters, eventually defeating them. The pain of losing his parents was unbearable, but he had to stay strong and protect the villagers from any harm. It was then that the villain responsible for robbing his parents of their marks appeared, showing off his grey mark that had five different marks on it. The villain explained that each mark represented a different weapon, animal, or plant, and that the color of the mark represented a totem element.

Franz's eyes narrowed in anger as he stared at the villain in front of him. "You're the one responsible for turning my parents into monsters," he snarled.

The villain chuckled. "Ah, yes. I remember them well. They had some powerful marks, but not powerful enough to protect themselves from me."

Franz gritted his teeth. "What kind of marks do you have? And why are you doing this?"

The villain smirked. "I have a grey mark, but it's actually a combination of five different marks. Each mark represents a different weapon, animal, or plant. And the color of the mark represents the totem it belongs to. For example, red is for fire, green is for plants and wood, black is for shadow, white is for light, yellow is for wind, brown is for earth, blue is for water, purple is for lightning, and grey is for sound. The more marks you have, the more powerful you are."

Franz clenched his fists. "You're just using marks to gain power. You don't care about anyone else."

The villain laughed. "Of course not. That's the beauty of it. I can do whatever I want with this power. And now that I have your parents' marks, I'll be even stronger."

Franz lunged at the villain, fueled by his anger and determination. The two clashed in a brutal fight, exchanging blows and powerful marks. Franz's rage and sorrow gave him an edge, and he quickly gained the upper hand. But the villain was not one to give up easily, and he fought back with equal ferocity.

As the battle raged on, Franz began to feel a strange sensation. It was as if he was absorbing the strength of his opponent with each blow. His own mark was glowing brighter with each passing moment, and he could feel himself becoming stronger and stronger.

Finally, with a powerful roar, Franz unleashed his ultimate attack. He channeled all of his rage and sorrow into a devastating blast of energy that engulfed the villain and everything around him. When the dust settled, the villain was nowhere to be found, and the village and forest was decimated.

Franz stood there, panting and exhausted, his mark fading back to its normal rainbow color. He had avenged his parents, but at what cost? The weight of his actions settled heavily on his shoulders as he looked at the destruction he had caused. From that day forward, he vowed to use his power only for good, and to never let his anger get the best of him again.
