Our protagonist stepped out of the facility he had known all his life, into an unknown world full of challenges. Yet, he felt no fear. It was a pivotal moment, and a strange sensation stirred in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was a sense of freedom or a fear of the unknown, but one thing was certain—every step he took disturbed the silence that had surrounded him inside.

The sky above was dark, but the moon's rays illuminated the narrow path ahead. He stood in a place unlike anything he had ever seen before. The surrounding buildings were old and somewhat dilapidated, but nothing was more unsettling than the eerie silence. The only sound was that of his soft footsteps on the wet ground.

Moments passed, and a single thought haunted his mind: What happens now? Would he be able to adapt to this new world? Would he find answers to the questions that had grown in his heart over the years?

But the first thing he needed to do was stay out of sight. He knew the facility wouldn't let him escape so easily, and that people would be searching for him everywhere. He had to remain cautious and move quietly.

"Where can I go?" he muttered to himself as his eyes scanned the dark surroundings. He longed for something—perhaps the idea of warmth or comfort—but he didn’t know where to find it. In his heart, there was a constant feeling that everything around him was hostile. It was like a dark sky full of uncertainty.

As he moved through the narrow alleys, his steps suddenly halted when he saw something strange ahead. It was another person. Someone completely unexpected.

The man before him was hiding in the shadows. He wore ordinary clothes, but there was something about his eyes that radiated vigilance. His gaze was sharp, as if he had been watching the protagonist long before the protagonist noticed him.

"You're finally here," the man said softly, his lips curling into a mysterious smile.

Our protagonist felt a strange unease creeping into his heart. This encounter was far from ordinary. Who was this person? And how did he know about me? Yet, the man seemed to hold an answer that could change everything.

"How do you know about me?" the protagonist asked, trying to mask any weakness in his voice.

"The facility doesn’t let people like you leave so easily," the man replied calmly. "But I’m here to help you."

The protagonist was skeptical. He had heard too much about "helpers" who appeared in times of trouble. Was this man one of them? Or was he a fraud?

"Why?" the protagonist asked.

"Because you’re not the only one," the man said as he stepped closer. "There are others like you. And I hope you find them in this dark world before they find you."

Those words left the protagonist with a deep sense of uncertainty. Others like me? he wondered.

Before he could ask more questions, the man added, "This is about more than your escape. It’s a greater test than you can imagine—a test of survival. But for now, you need to start taking your steps carefully."

And so, our protagonist began a new journey, one filled with mystery and danger. Little did he know, this encounter was only the beginning of something far greater.
