Chapter 5 - Chapter : 5 : A Mysterious Visitor

Back in the city,

A young boy found himself in a dire situation as he frantically raced through the dimly lit streets. Desperation tinged his voice as he cried out for help, yet the denizens remained oblivious to his distress.

The narrow alleyway he turned into became his refuge and trap—a dead-end shrouded in shadows. His heart pounded, and panic welled within as he glanced over his shoulder to discover a mysterious, menacing black figure following his every step.

The aura emanating from the figure was eerie, sending shivers down the boy's spine. Summoning his courage, he addressed the shadowy pursuer. "Who are you, and why are you chasing me?"

In a deep, menacing voice, the figure replied, "You seem to have a demonic aura around you. Are you human?"

Perplexed and fearful, the boy inquired further, "What do you mean by a demonic aura? And what are you?"

The figure, unapologetically declaring its identity, answered, "I am a demon."

Startled by the revelation, the boy questioned, "Are you going to kill me?"

The demon, its tone now less threatening, disclosed, "No, I am a good demon."

Intrigued by the unexpected twist, the boy pressed for more information, asking, "What's a good demon?"

The demon elaborated, explaining the existence of a mystical realm called *Ombra*, where creatures of various mythologies coexisted, including elves, dragons, dwarfs, pixies, fairies, and demons.

Among the demons, there were two factions: the good and the bad. The good demons were peaceful and coexisted harmoniously with other mythological creatures, known as *Iyi*. In contrast, the bad demons, known as *Kotu*, were a belligerent force that posed a threat to humans and other beings.

The demon noticed that the boy possessed great demonic powers and offered to guide him in using those powers for good.
