INT. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY
HIROSHI KUROGANE, a 17-year-old high school student with unkempt black hair and glasses, sits at his desk, half-listening to the teacher's lecture. Suddenly, a strange energy surges within him, causing the hair on his arms to stand on end.
Hiroshi
(whispering to himself)
What's happening to me?
Hiroshi discreetly touches his fingers to his temple, trying to understand the sensation.
LIBRARY - DAY
Hiroshi hides from the noisy school corridors in the quiet haven of the library. He scrolls through his phone, searching for answers.
Hiroshi
(inspecting his search results)
Arcane... abilities?
A book titled "The Art of Arcane" catches Hiroshi's eye. He pulls it off the shelf and starts flipping through its pages.

The Gathering
ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
Hiroshi ventures into a secret meeting place for Arcanes - a place where they can hone their skills in secrecy and safety.
RURI SAEKI, an enigmatic girl with silver hair and piercing blue eyes, gracefully approaches Hiroshi.
Ruri
(slightly amused)
So, you finally found your way here, Hiroshi Kurogane.
Hiroshi
(nervously)
Who are you?
Ruri extends her hand, revealing a symbol glowing on her palm. Hiroshi recognizes it as the mark of an Arcane.
Ruri
I'm Ruri Saeki, a guide in this hidden realm. You're not alone in possessing these powers.
FASCIMOTO, a tall and stoic boy with red hair, enters the scene followed by a gust of wind.
FAZCIMOTO
(rakishly)
Welcome to the gathering, Hiroshi. I'm Fujimoto, but you can call me Fazcimoto.
Hiroshi
(stammering)
So, you all... have abilities too?
Ruri and Fazcimoto exchange a knowing glance.
Ruri
Each one of us possesses a unique gift, just like you. Together, we can navigate the dangers that threaten our world.
The Trials Begin & A Complex Harem
DUSKHAVEN STREETS - DAY
The group of Arcanes traverse through the bustling city of Duskhaven. Hiroshi's eyes widen as he witnesses a skirmish between a group of supernatural creatures and civilians.
Hiroshi
(astonished)
What are those things?
FAZCIMOTO
(charging into battle)
Creatures from the Shadowrealm. They feed on the energy of the Arcanes.
Hiroshi summons his newfound powers, manipulating the elements around him to create a protective barrier.
Ruri
(smiling)
Well done, Hiroshi. Your abilities are growing strong.
ARCANE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT
The group returns to their headquarters, a hidden sanctuary filled with ancient artifacts and mystical tomes.
Hiroshi
(distressed)
It's all so overwhelming. How can I protect this world while navigating this complex harem?
Ruri
(grinning mischievously)
Ah, young Hiroshi. The path of love can be just as treacherous as the battles we face. But fear not, our bonds will strengthen us when the time comes.
As Hiroshi looks around, he starts to realize the individual strengths and personalities of his newfound allies.

ARCANE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT
Hiroshi sits at a table, contemplating recent events, when he notices a figure lurking in the shadows.
Hiroshi
(startled)
Who's there?
Out steps a mysterious character, AKIRA BLACKTHORN, a tall figure clad in dark robes, his face covered by a hood.
Akira
(sly)
Hiroshi Kurogane, you possess the potential to become the most powerful Arcane of all. Join me, and together we will rule this world.
Hiroshi
(defiantly)
I will never bow to someone who seeks to exploit the Arcane power. I fight to protect, not dominate.
Akira smirks, his eyes gleaming with malice.
Akira
(sarcastically)
Very well, Hiroshi. But remember, the path you have chosen can be one of isolation and sorrow.
Akira retreats into the shadows, leaving Hiroshi to grapple with his decision.
