“Human… alive? Impossible…”

Chapter 2: The First Blood Contract

[Panel 1 – A dark, half-collapsed city ruin. Survivors hide among rubble, watching Eron from a distance.]

"He's not normal… That power… he absorbed that alien like it was nothing."

Survivor Boy (nervous):

"We should run—"

[Panel 2 – Eron suddenly appears behind them.]

Eron:

"You’re not running. You’re following me now."

Survivor Girl (wide-eyed):

"W-What?! Who are you?!"

Eron:

"I'm the last monster who still remembers being human."

---

[Panel 3 – System HUD appears before Eron’s eyes.

"Human anomaly detected. Eliminate and harvest!"

[Panel 5 – Eron raises his hand, drawing a circle in the air with blood. A sigil glows.]

System:

Eron:

"I bind your blood to mine. Betray me… and die."

[Panel 6 – The blood sigil wraps around the survivors. They gasp, clutching their hearts.]

Survivor Girl (in pain):

"What… what did you do?!"

Eron:

"Now your lives are tied to mine. I protect you. You fight with me."

---

[Panel 7 – The battle begins. Eron moves like a blur, tearing through the alien scouts. He summons a massive spear of blood.]

"For every scream I endured, one of you dies!"

[Panel 8 – A survivor boy gets cornered. Eron shouts:]

Eron:

"Focus! Use your anger. The contract awakens your strength!"

Eron (looking at them):

"You’re not weak anymore. This world doesn't forgive weakness. Neither will I."

[Panel 11 – From the shadows, another figure watches — a girl with dual blades and blood-stained armor.]

Mysterious Girl (smirks):

"So he's the one making all that noise. Interesting..."

---

[Final Panel – Eron walks toward the city ruins with the survivors behind him.]

Eron:

"We take Earth back. One corpse at a time."
