DRAGON STRIKERS PAGE 2 — THE UNKNOWN PANEL 1 — THE ENDLESS HORIZON A wide view of the enormous landscape. Mountain ranges stretch beyond the clouds, and the land disappears into the distance. NARRATION: “No one knows where this world ends.” PANEL 2 — THE WORLD BELOW A view deep beneath the surface. Enormous layers of rock extend into darkness, with distant passages disappearing into the unknown. No characters are visible. SFX: RUMMMMM… PANEL 3 — SOMETHING UNEXPLAINED A distant section of the underground landscape appears to shift. Dust drifts through the darkness. The source of the movement remains unseen. PANEL 4 — SILENCE Return to the surface. The sky is clear. The mountains are still. The world appears completely normal. NARRATION: “And yet, no one questions it.”

.”ABYSS — CHAPTER 1 Page 4: A World Hidden in Darkness Sora Amamiya — Character Appearance: A 17-year-old boy, 178 cm tall, with a slim athletic build, messy layered jet-black hair with sharp irregular spikes and uneven bangs, sharp light-grey eyes with dark pupils, and a youthful defined face. He wears a fitted black high-collar jacket with silver buttons over a dark shirt, black trousers, a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle, black lace-up combat boots, and white bandages wrapped around both wrists and partially over both hands. His dark travel bag hangs at his side. Panel 1 — Entering the Streets A cinematic wide shot from behind Sora as he slowly walks down the village’s ancient stone-paved main street. Tall wooden buildings rise on both sides, their upper floors connected by elegant bridges. Hundreds of warm lanterns illuminate carved wooden balconies, tiled rooftops, hanging signs, and narrow side streets. Enormous jagged cliffs tower above the village, disappearing into drifting mist. Sora looks tiny beneath this incredible landscape. Panel 2 — The World Above Him A dramatic upward view from street level. Towering multi-storey buildings cling to the rocky cliffs, with wooden balconies, glowing windows, winding staircases, and suspended walkways stretching between structures. Waterfalls descend from openings high in the cliffs, sparkling as they pass behind the buildings. Lanterns float gently through the mist. Sora is visible at the bottom of the panel, staring upward in disbelief. Panel 3 — Lost in Wonder A detailed close-up of Sora’s face as he walks slowly through the crowded street. His light-grey eyes are wide with astonishment, his mouth slightly open, and his messy black hair frames his stunned expression. Warm lantern light reflects in his eyes. Behind him, the village blurs into beautiful layers of glowing windows, wooden architecture, and passing silhouettes. Panel 4 — The Living Village A sweeping panoramic view of the bustling street. Villagers in varied traditional fantasy clothing walk between wooden shops and small market stalls. Merchants display mysterious trinkets, colorful fabrics, handmade objects, and glowing ornaments. Steam rises from food stalls, lanterns illuminate the cobblestones, and wooden bridges cross overhead. Sora walks among the villagers, silently looking from one extraordinary sight to another. Panel 5 — The Endless City A breathtaking high-angle view revealing the full scale of the settlement. Countless houses, towers, shrines, markets, and bridges spread across the enormous cavern, climbing the cliffs as far as the eye can see. Waterfalls plunge into a winding river far below. Thousands of tiny lanterns create a river of golden light through the darkness. Sora stands on a stone bridge in the foreground, motionless as he takes in the impossible sight. Narration: “He had entered a place he never imagined could exist.”

Chapter 1: “The Awakening” – Page 1 Panel 1 (Full Page): Dark clouds loom over a ruined city. Rain pours relentlessly over collapsed buildings. Narration (Top): “In a world where truth has drowned in fear… hope always rises from the ashes.” Panel 2: Close-up of Akira lying unconscious on the rubble, rain dripping on his face. Narration: “Akira Kurogane… the last survivor of Project Omega.” Panel 3: His eyes flicker open. He gasps, dazed. Akira (inner thought): “Where… am I? What happened?”
