Chapter 1 - The Protagonist

Perfect. Here's the beginning of Chapter 1: "The Protagonist" — with a manhwa-style panel breakdown, worldbuilding, and buildup for Aman.

Chapter 1: The Protagonist

Panel 1: Wide shot of a massive, futuristic academy—gates opening as students wearing combat uniforms enter.

Narration:

"Ravindra Academy for Superhuman Combat"—the most prestigious hunter academy in the Eastern World.

Panel 2: Inside the academy's main plaza. Holographic screens float showing daily gate stats, monster sightings, and S-rank hunters.

Narration:

This is where the next generation of dungeon conquerors are forged. Some are born strong… others claw their way up.

Panel 3: Close-up of a student's feet walking alone, shadow trailing behind him.

Panel 4: Zoom in—Aman. Simple uniform. Calm eyes. Slight smile. Students whisper as he passes.

Student A (whispering):

"Hey, that's Aman… the gate survivor, right?"

Student B:

"Yeah. The only one who made it out alive from the Red Zone Dungeon last year…"

Panel 5: Aman sits quietly in class. Everyone around him seems powerful, flashy, loud.

Narration:

Aman doesn't talk much. Doesn't brag. Doesn't fight in training duels. But those who know… avoid crossing him.

[Flashback Panel: One year ago — Red Zone Dungeon]

Panel 6: Corpses of students scattered. Aman, bloodied, stands alone with a broken sword and glowing eyes.

Narration:

The monsters didn't scare him. The betrayal did.

[Back to present]

Panel 7: A new teacher enters the class—young, serious, holding a clipboard.

Teacher:

"Class 1-A. Today's gate simulation will be a ranked group trial. You'll be assigned based on compatibility."

*Panel 8: Students react with excitement. Aman just closes his eyes.
