Chapter 1

THE Portal

Seoul's vibrant streets pulsed with energy, but BTS's excitement was tempered by exhaustion. Their world tour had taken a toll, and the group craved a break.

"Let's grab drinks and unwind," RM suggested, leading the group to a secluded rooftop bar.

As they sipped their drinks, Jin gazed out at the city. "Guys, have you noticed anything strange lately?"

Suga raised an eyebrow. "Strange?"

Jin hesitated. "Dreams, visions... feelings of being watched."

V's eyes narrowed. "I've had similar dreams."

Jimin shivered. "Me too."

J-Hope's expression turned serious. "We've been under a lot of stress."

Jungkook shook his head. "This feels different."

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and the air distorted. A shimmering portal materialized before them.

"What the...?" RM breathed.

Without warning, the portal sucked them in, transporting them to a desolate, parallel universe.

The Dark City

The group stumbled through the unfamiliar landscape, disoriented. Towering skyscrapers loomed, casting long shadows.

"This isn't Seoul," Jin whispered.

Suga's eyes scanned the horizon. "We need to find a way back."

V's voice dropped to a whisper. "I sense something watching us."

As night descended, the group discovered graffiti-scrawled buildings, bearing eerie messages:

"You'll never escape."

"Your shadows will consume you."

BTS exchanged uneasy glances. What did these messages mean?

The First Encounter

As they navigated the dark streets, they stumbled upon a figure – a duplicate of Jin, with eyes black as coal.

"Who are you?" Jin demanded.

The duplicate sneered. "I'm the real Jin. You're just a shadow."

The group gasped, horrified.

"This isn't possible," RM growled.

The duplicate vanished, leaving BTS stunned and confused.

Their Footsteps Echoed

Through the deserted streets, BTS's footsteps echoed, a haunting reminder of their isolation.

Jungkook's eyes scanned the rooftops. "We need to find shelter."

RM nodded. "And answers."

Suga's gaze fell upon a dilapidated building. "In there."

The group approached cautiously, entering the abandoned structure.

Inside, they discovered a cryptic message scrawled on the wall:

"Face your shadows, or forever roam."

BTS exchanged uneasy glances. What lay ahead?

Their shadows loomed, threatening to consume them.

As they ventured deeper into the building, they encountered duplicates of themselves – twisted, dark versions.

"Who are you?" Jimin asked, trembling.

The duplicates sneered. "We're the real BTS. You're just impostors."

The group fought, struggling to comprehend the duplicates' origins.

In the chaos, V discovered a hidden room, containing ancient artifacts and mysterious scrolls.

"These symbols... they're ancient," V whispered.

RM's eyes widened. "This could be the key to our escape."

But as they deciphered the symbols, the duplicates closed in.

"We'll never let you leave," they snarled.

BTS prepared to defend themselves, but the duplicates vanished, leaving behind an ominous message:

"The shadows will rise. You'll fall."

The group realized they had to uncover the secrets of this parallel universe and confront their inner demons.

Their survival depended on it.
