Earth – Blackhunt Guild Formation Arc
Location: Earth – Jaipur Outskirts, Abandoned Sector 9
Three days had passed since the foundation of Blackhunt.
Their "base" was still a broken warehouse, their funds were minimal, and their name wasn't known beyond two bulletin boards.
But Ankit wasn't worried. He wasn't recruiting for fame.
He was looking for monsters in disguise. People who knew pain. Who bled for something.
And today, he tracked one of the most elusive awakened in Rajasthan.

🌄 Scene – Deserted Temple Ruins
Ankit, Tanya, and Kaido crouched on a rooftop watching the crumbling remains of a sandstone temple. Around it were bandits with partial system awakenings, illegally hunting beasts and young climbers.
Tanya whispered, "He's here. I saw him patch up a child in the alley this morning."
Kaido frowned. "And he didn't kill these thugs?"
"He's not a killer," Ankit muttered. "But if they make him bleed—he becomes one."
They waited.
It didn't take long.
A scream rang out. A boy—a young climber—dragged by the bandits to the center courtyard.
"Leave him!" someone shouted from the shadows.
A blur of blue and silver crashed into the clearing.
Slicing vines of mana surged.
And from it emerged a tall young man, eyes glowing faintly green, a curved surgical blade dancing in his grip like it was alive.
⚔️ Combat – Veer Rajan vs Bandits
Veer moved like a specter.
One cut—an arm fell limp, not severed, but perfectly disabled.
One touch—an injured child's wound sealed mid-evacuation.
He didn't kill. He neutralized.
But when one of the bandits stabbed a restrained climber…
Veer's aura flared red.
"I treat to heal. But I kill to protect."
The next second, five enemies fell at once—veins shredded by mana blades invisible to the naked eye.
🎯 Scene – Ankit's Approach
Ankit walked out clapping.
Veer raised his blade.
"Don't," Ankit said. "I'm here to offer you something better than isolation."
"Not interested."
"You're alone. You left the tower because you lost someone."
Veer froze.
Tanya added softly, "But what if you had people worth returning for?"
Kaido grunted, "We fight. We bleed. And yeah, sometimes we die. But we don't run. Not from pain. Not from the tower. And never from ourselves."
Veer looked at the child he saved.
Then at Ankit.
"…I'll try once," he said.
"But if you ever let someone die needlessly—I'll walk."

Ankit smiled faintly.
Blackhunt wasn't just forming.
It was beginning to feel like something more.
