CHAPTER 2 — The Whisper Within
Arjun staggered back, clutching his chest.
The voice… it wasn't imagination.
"Who are you?" he whispered.
Silence.
Then—
"Power… or remain trash."
His eyes darkened.
"I want power."
The moment he spoke—
A sharp pain exploded inside his veins.
He fell to his knees, screaming.
Dark energy surged through his body like poison.
And then—
It stopped.
Arjun gasped for air.
Something had changed.
He could feel it.
A faint… cold energy.
