Upon arriving, she’s thrilled to reunite with her childhood best friends, Leo and Ava, whose unwavering support feels like a beacon of familiarity in her new world.

The Darkness Island Prolog: "Cepat katakan! Dimana para bawahanmu dan alasan kenapa kau menghancurkan terowongan itu!" sorak seorang polisi dengan sangat kuat sambil mencambuk seseorang yang kedua tangannya di ikat dengan rantai. "Su-sudah kubilang, aku sama sekali tidak tau apa yang kau bicarakan," jawab orang itu dengan nada lelah dan suara yang pelan. "Kau masih saja mengelak sialan!" Polisi tadi langsung mengambil pistol di pinggangnya. Dorr!! Ia tanpa ragu menembak paha kiri laki-laki itu. "Aaahh!!!" pekiknya dengan sangat kesakitan. "Cepat katakan!!" Laki-laki itu tidak merespon dan hanya menunduk kebawah dengan putus asa. Tubuhnya tampak seperti sudah tidak sanggup menerima rasa sakit lagi. "Bukankah sudah kubilang dari beberapa hari sebelumnya, saat proses interogasi dan kau berani tidur, maka kau akan merasakan ini!" teriak polisi itu masih dengan nada kuat dan sangat kesal. Ia kemudian mengambil cambuknya tadi. Lalu membakar cambuk tersebut dengan sebuah korek api. Rupanya cambuk itu dari tadi sudah terlumuri dengan minyak tanah. Begitu pula dengan seluruh bagian dada laki-laki itu yang hari ini sudah tercambuk puluhan kali. Hanya dengan sekali pukulan. Dan wuzzz!! Seluruh bagian dada laki-laki yang diikat di rantai itu langsung terbakar. "Aaackkk!!!" teriaknya dengan kesakitan dan langsung mendapatkan kembali kesadarannya. Sebelum api itu merambat sampai ke kepalanya. Ia langsung di guyur air yang berasal dari atas. Laki-laki itu menatap polisi tersebut dengan mata penuh dendam. "Bukankah aku sudah bilang! Aku tidak tau apa-apa kau Bangs*t!" ucapnya dengan sangat kesal. "Sialan! Bagaimana ini terjadi, aku hanya ingin liburan dengan keluargaku, namun semuanya hancur saat kami memasuki sebuah terowongan yang tiba-tiba saja meledak. Gara-gara kalian! Gara-gara kalian adikku dan ayahku mati di dalam terowongan itu! Aku dengan ini bersumpah. Bahwa aku akan menemukan dalang atas semua ini! Dan membalas dendam akan keluargaku!!" teriaknya di dalam hati yang langsung meronta dengan sangat kuat. Dari arah dinding sebelah kiri, tiba-tiba saja sebuah peluru bius di tembakan. Peluru itu langsung mengenai tangan kanan laki-laki itu. Yang secara perlahan membuatnya pingsan. Coming soon~ ~Higashi.
