On my first day at university, a girl caught my attention, and I kept looking at her a lot until she noticed. This went on for months, even though at the beginning I didn’t truly like her—I was just trying to convince myself that I did. But over time, those feelings became real.

I still look at her often, and she is aware of it. She’s 22 years old, about a year older than me. She has a strong personality and can be difficult to deal with sometimes. She has exposed some students in the past who tried to message her or confess their feelings, but at the same time, she jokes normally with some male students.

As for me, my personality is different. I mostly interact with male students and rarely talk to girls, and if I do, it’s only about studying. I feel like I’m not able to talk to her because I’m afraid she might embarrass me or expose my feelings. I also strongly believe she might reject me, especially since she comes from a wealthy family, I see her as more attractive than me, and her personality can feel intimidating at times.Note: She is a Gemini.

What should I do in this situation?

The guard suddenly felt a strange aura seeping into the area…

Heavy. Suffocating. As if it belonged to something not of this world.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, focusing his senses…

And within moments—

A terrifying pressure struck him.

Like a meteor made of pure energy crashing down directly above him.

He froze.

His body refused to respond.

His heart began to race uncontrollably.

"What… is this? A higher being…?"

Before he could think any further—

Frex descended.

A cold voice, devoid of mercy:

"One wrong move… and you lose your life."

The guard remained silent, his breathing uneven.

Frex stepped closer—calm, measured steps… yet filled with overwhelming threat.

"As long as there is a guard… there must be a king.

Where is he? I wish to meet him."

Slowly, trembling, the guard lowered his hands in surrender.

He raised his gaze… bit by bit—

And saw Frex’s legs.

He froze again, whispering in shock:

"I-It can’t be… he’s… human?"

Flashback

Fragments of the past—cities destroyed, humans screaming, disasters claiming countless lives…

And in the middle of it all… Frex, watching without a shred of mercy.

Back to the present

Frex spoke coldly:

"What’s wrong? Why did you freeze?"

The guard swallowed hard:

"It’s been a long time… since I’ve seen a human."

Frex smiled faintly—an unsettling smile:

"Is there anyone else with you?"

The guard tensed, his eyes darting nervously.

In an instant—

Frex slammed the ground with immense force.

The area exploded. Dust rose violently as the earth trembled.

When the dust settled…

The guard slowly lifted his head—

His eyes widened in horror.

Frex stood there…

And in his hand… was his friend’s head.

The guard stumbled back, shaking:

"I… I forgot to tell you…"

Frex smiled, then casually tossed the head aside:

"Do not try to deceive me."

He stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with deadly intent:

"Never… try to hunt the hunter."

As the guard trembled before him—

Frex suddenly stopped.

Something changed.

His body stiffened for a brief moment. Then he slowly turned his head, as if sensing a hidden vibration in the air.

He whispered:

"This feeling…"

He slightly raised his hand, as if expanding his awareness:

"I need to widen the field… I don’t know who’s coming next… but something is approaching."

A heavy silence fell over the area.

Then—

SHHHH!

A long whip shot through the air at lightning speed, aiming straight for Frex’s neck.

But—

He caught it.

With one hand.

A faint smile appeared in his eyes:

"I knew it…"

He tightened his grip on the whip and said coldly:

"In this land… one mistake is enough to end your life."

But suddenly—

He stopped.

His gaze dropped to his hand.

His skin began to change…

Dark blisters formed, swelling and cracking slowly.

His expression hardened.

"Damn it…"

He clenched his teeth:

"This feeling… just like before…"

He took a slow breath, analyzing it:

"Poison… perhaps. Or something like a narcotic toxin."

He threw the whip aside, then stared at his infected hand with eerie calm—

Before tearing off the affected flesh and discarding it without hesitation.

"It doesn’t matter."

He lifted his gaze again. His eyes were deeper now… darker.

"I still need to learn more about these creatures…"

He glanced briefly at the trembling guard:

"That’s why sparing you… was the right decision."

A few seconds passed…

Then he smiled again.

A different smile.

More dangerous.

"But this sudden sensation…"

He placed a hand over his chest as his heartbeat quickened:

"...is bringing back my humanity."

His smile slowly widened:

"The thrill of the hunt…"

His voice softened—yet became far more terrifying:

"I wonder… why does this curse turn me… into a merciless demon?"

Suddenly—

The shook violently.

A massive opened in the sky, as if reality itself had been torn apart.

A gate.

Dark. Endless. Devouring light.

Terrifying winds burst from it, carrying incomprehensible screams.

The guard dropped to his knees:

"Impossible… this… this is the Gate of Catastrophe…!"

From within the gate—

Something moved.

Massive, incomplete limbs…

Dozens of eyes opening in the darkness.

A deep voice emerged, as if from the bottom of the world:

"...Target… found…"

Frex smiled—despite the pain, the poison, the danger—

No… because of them.

"Finally…"

He stepped forward, toward the catastrophe itself:

"Let’s see… who hunts who."

Then he whispered, as if speaking to himself… or something deeper within:

"The hunter… or the beast."
