Episode 1:Devil Dan
Ever since Helim died, Jake had been depressed. He barely talked to anyone anymore, and something about the school felt different.
Then, one morning, every television in the city suddenly switched to the news.
NEWS REPORTER: “Breaking news. A mysterious timer has appeared on every person’s phone. Nobody knows who created it or why. But there is one message…”
The screen showed a giant red timer.
24:00:00
NEWS REPORTER: “Everyone has 24 hours. If you don’t kill someone before the timer reaches zero… you die.”
The entire school went silent.
Students stared at their phones in fear.
Cameron, known as the weakest person in the school, looked down at his timer.
CAMERON: “How am I supposed to do this? I can’t do anything!”
He looked around the hallway.
People were already running in every direction.
Suddenly, a stranger stepped out from behind a corner.
RANDOM: “Hey, little man. I need to kill you so I can live.”
Cameron froze.
He knew he couldn’t fight him.
The stranger moved closer.
CAMERON: “Please… I don’t want to do this.”
Cameron closed his eyes and tried to unlock his powers. He had always felt like there was something inside him, but he had never been able to control it.
His hands began shaking.
The lights in the hallway flickered.
The floor started to tremble.
CAMERON: “I… I can’t hold it back anymore!”
A powerful wave of energy exploded around him.
Cameron opened his eyes.
They were glowing.
CAMERON: “DEVIL DAN!!!!”
Suddenly, a portal opened behind Cameron.
One giant devil dog jumped through.
Then another.
And another.
Within seconds, the hallway was filled with monstrous devil dogs surrounding Cameron.
The random stepped backward.
RANDOM: “What… what are you?!”
Cameron raised his hand.
CAMERON: “You picked the wrong person.”
The devil dogs charged.
The random tried to run, but the dogs surrounded him. A powerful blast sent him flying across the hallway, knocking him unconscious.
His timer flashed.
00:00:00
The stranger disappeared in a burst of dark energy.
Everyone watching stood completely still.
Cameron stared at his own hands.
CAMERON: “I did that?”
One of the devil dogs walked over and stood beside him.
Cameron slowly looked at it.
CAMERON: “What are you?”
The creature growled softly.
Then Cameron heard a voice inside his head.
VOICE: “You finally awakened.”
Cameron’s eyes widened.
CAMERON: “Who’s there?”
The school lights suddenly turned off.
Every phone in the hallway received the same message.
THE TIMER HAS BEGUN.
23:59:41
Cameron looked at the countdown.
Then he looked at the devil dogs.
For the first time, he realized something terrifying.
The timer wasn’t just forcing people to kill.
It was awakening their powers.
And Cameron’s powers had only just begun.
