🎬 Yami o Koete – Episode 1: "The Weakest Hunter"

🌏 Long ago, Earth was peaceful… until monsters suddenly began roaming the land. Even ants, once harmless, mutated into massive killing machines. 🐜💀

⚔️ But from humanity, a few awakened supernatural powers — strength, control, magic. They rose to defend the world. Among them, a man named Jinho Takeda formed an organization called The Hunters 🏛️ — warriors trained to slay monsters.

He established ranks:

E (lowest) 🟤

D 🟠

C 🟡

B 🟢

A 🔵

S (strongest) 🔴

🌑 Years Later…

A boy named Kazuki Yami is an E-rank Hunter... but the world has mocked him so badly that they gave him a special "F-Rank" tag, the title of "The Weakest." 😢⚫

💬 "F-Rank? That’s just a joke. He’s basically powerless."

But Kazuki never gave up.

👥 His Companions:

Daigo Rensui – D-Rank Hunter

Power: Diamond Control 💎

Can create, shape, and infuse diamonds into his fists or weapons.

Strong-willed and loyal, he always encourages Kazuki.

Rika Amagi – D-Rank Hunter

Power: Mind Control / Mind Switch / Mind Reading 🧠✨

Quiet but wise, she tells Kazuki:

"Don’t let their F-Rank label live in your head, Kazuki."

💬 But Kazuki clenched his fists and muttered:

“Shut up… they’re right. I’m an F-Rank. I’m nothing. I don’t even HAVE powers…”

💡 Daigo replies:

“Look at Jin the Silent Blade. He had no powers either — only his dagger. Now he’s S-Rank. You don’t need magic to be a hero.”

Kazuki:

“I’m not him…”

⚔️ First Dungeon Attempt (Solo)

Kazuki enters a low-level dungeon to try and fight goblins 👹.

They swarm him.

One slashes his shoulder. 🩸

Another punches him in the gut.

He can’t keep up.

He gets beaten badly and barely escapes.

Kazuki collapses, injured, ashamed. 💔

But something burns in him… a rage... a darkness.

🕳️ Second Dungeon – With Friends

Kazuki, Daigo, and Rika team up to clear a goblin nest.

🎮 Dungeon Layout:

Underground ruins

Broken pillars

Dark corners

7 goblins armed with clubs and daggers

The battle begins:

Daigo punches a goblin in the chest with a diamond fist 💥💎

Rika freezes one in place using mind paralysis 🧠

Kazuki struggles — gets cornered by 2 goblins.

😡 One goblin punches Kazuki in the face, sending him crashing into the wall.

Kazuki, bleeding, panting, grips the earth.

"No more… no more being weak!"

🖤 He screams in fury — a black aura surges around his fist!

💥💀 Darkness-infused punch!!

He slams it into the goblin’s face — the creature's skull cracks and the goblin explodes into shadows.

Everyone stops.

Kazuki stands up, black energy swirling around his arm. 🖤💨

“What… was that?”

🎉 Kazuki Yami has awakened his powers:

Shadow and Darkness Manipulation.

He is no longer powerless.
