A shadow fell across the abandoned warehouse.
Kenji entered cautiously.
From the darkness, claws, sharp and red, emerged.
A monster unlike anything he had seen.
Bigger than B-Rank, faster than most S-Rank.
Kenji's fire flared.
He dodged with instinct.
A single strike—claw against sword.
The monster screamed as flames engulfed its body.
Kenji realized something.
His D-Rank fire was not enough anymore.
He needed control.
He needed power.
Baran chuckled silently.
"Then fight, human. Fight and awaken."
