ABYSS — CHAPTER 1 Page 2: The Watcher Sora Amamiya — Character Appearance: A 17-year-old boy, 178 cm tall, with messy, layered jet-black hair, sharp irregular spikes, uneven bangs, and sharp light-grey eyes with dark pupils. 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 around both wrists and partially over both hands. He carries a dark travel bag. Panel 1 — Entering the Abyss Sora cautiously steps through the enormous entrance into a pitch-black cavern. His small figure is surrounded by towering rock walls. Faint mist crawls across the ground, and strange shadows stretch into the darkness. Narration: “The moment Sora entered, the silence felt unnatural.” Panel 2 — Something Moving Sora turns sharply as several terrifying, distorted silhouettes rush across the distant darkness. Their unnatural shapes are barely visible between the rocks. Two faint glowing eyes flash in the shadows before disappearing. Sora: “W-What was that?!” Panel 3 — The Chase A long, narrow panel showing Sora running through the rocky passage, clutching his travel bag. Behind him, enormous shadowy creatures race across the walls and ceiling. Their shapes are unclear, making them even more frightening. Sora: “What ARE those things?!” Panel 4 — Dead Silence Sora suddenly stops. The creatures have vanished. He stands alone in the darkness, breathing nervously. A tiny floating shape appears far behind him, almost invisible against the black background. SFX: …TAP… TAP… Panel 5 — The Flying Eye A terrifying close-up of a single enormous eyeball floating directly toward Sora. It has a bloodshot white surface, a dark iris, and a tiny black pupil. Thin, dark veins spread across its surface. It floats without a body, staring straight at him. SFX: WHIRRR… Panel 6 — It Sees Him Extreme close-up of Sora’s light-grey eye widening in fear. Reflected inside his pupil is the enormous floating eyeball, now much closer than before. Sora: “…What?” Panel 7 — Face to Face The giant eyeball suddenly darts forward and stops inches from Sora’s face, staring directly into his eyes. Its pupil contracts unnaturally. Sora freezes, his shoulders tense and his hands trembling. The background is completely black, with the eye dominating the panel. SFX: FWIP! Panel 8 — The Final Scare A full-width horror panel. The enormous eye fills nearly the entire page, staring directly at the reader. Behind it, barely visible in the darkness, countless tiny eyes begin opening across the cavern walls. Narration: “Sora wasn’t alone.”

DRAGON STRIKERS PAGE 3 — A WORLD WITHOUT END STYLE: Black-and-white manga, cinematic landscapes, high-contrast ink shading, detailed screentones, dramatic perspective. PANEL 1 — THE SCALE OF THE WORLD Shape: Large horizontal panel occupying the top quarter of the page. Camera: Extreme wide shot from high above a mountain range. Drawing description: Enormous mountains stretch across the background, their sharp peaks piercing through layers of clouds. Rivers wind through deep valleys, connecting vast lakes and distant forests. Tiny settlements are scattered across the landscape, almost invisible compared with the immense natural world surrounding them. Use thin white highlights along the mountain peaks to create the impression of sunlight. Dark screentones should fill the valleys, making them appear deep and mysterious. The horizon should be so distant that the landscape seems to continue beyond the panel itself. NARRATION BOX: “No map has ever revealed the full extent of this world.” PANEL 2 — CIVILIZATION Shape: Medium horizontal panel. Camera: High-angle view of a settlement. Drawing description: A settlement lies between enormous mountains and a broad river. Buildings of different sizes line narrow roads. Bridges cross the river, and tiny figures move through the streets. In the background, show enormous walls of rock surrounding the valley. Their scale should make the settlement look almost insignificant. Keep the buildings and people detailed in black ink, with lighter screentones in the distant scenery. There should be no visible signs of destruction or panic. Everything appears ordinary. NARRATION BOX: “Civilizations rise, grow, and disappear within its endless reaches.” PANEL 3 — THE DISTANT FRONTIER Shape: Tall vertical panel extending down the left side of the page. Camera: Low-angle shot looking toward a distant mountain pass. Drawing description: Two immense rock formations stand on opposite sides of a narrow passage. A winding road disappears between them and continues toward an unknown landscape. Jagged rocks fill the foreground. Fine lines and dense shadows emphasize their rough surfaces. Clouds gather behind the mountains, partially hiding the peaks. The road should look small against the surrounding terrain, drawing the reader’s attention toward the unknown beyond it. No characters need to appear in this panel. NARRATION BOX: “Beyond every known path lies another unknown.” PANEL 4 — THE SILENT WORLD Shape: Wide horizontal panel. Camera: Extreme wide shot of the distant horizon. Drawing description: A vast plain stretches beneath a sky filled with layered clouds. A river cuts through the land, disappearing behind distant hills. Mountains form several overlapping silhouettes, each lighter than the one before it. Use a large amount of open space. Avoid filling every part of the panel with detail; the emptiness should make the world feel even larger. The scene should feel quiet, almost as though the landscape is waiting for something. NARRATION BOX: “And beyond what we know…” PANEL 5 — THE TURNING POINT Shape: Small, completely black panel at the bottom of the page, with a single white narration box in the centre. DRAWING: No visible characters. No explanation. Just darkness. NARRATION: ”…lies everything we have yet to understand.”

ABYSS — CHAPTER 1 Page 7 — The Truth Panel 1 — Sora Returns in Panic Sora runs through the village streets, breathing heavily, his black travel bag bouncing against his side. His messy jet-black hair is disheveled, his light-grey eyes wide with shock. He desperately searches for Rei among the lantern-lit streets. Sora: “REI!! Where are you?!” Panel 2 — He Finds Rei Sora finally finds Rei standing near a wooden bridge. Rei has layered silver hair, cool blue-grey eyes, a black hooded cloak with subtle blue accents, dark clothing, and a blue crystal pendant hanging from a silver chain. Sora rushes toward him, struggling to catch his breath. Sora: “Rei! I found something in the forbidden area!” Panel 3 — Sora Reveals the Truth Sora grabs the book he discovered and holds it out toward Rei, his hands trembling. Sora: “The ruler is exploiting everyone here! He uses people to make money… and treats them like slaves for his own benefit!” Rei stares at Sora in disbelief. Panel 4 — Rei Refuses to Believe It Rei looks at the book but doesn’t take it. His expression is cold and doubtful. Rei: “What are you talking about? That’s impossible.” Sora: “I’m telling you the truth! It’s all written in that book!” Rei turns away, unable to accept what Sora is saying. Panel 5 — Sora Tries One Last Time Sora opens the book and urgently points to the written records, looking straight at Rei. Sora: “Look at it yourself! Why would they forbid everyone from entering that place if they had nothing to hide?!” Rei pauses. His eyes shift toward the open book. Panel 6 — The Final Panel: A Clenched Fist Close-up of Rei’s hand slowly clenching into a tight fist beside his dark cloak. His fingers curl with growing anger. His blue crystal pendant catches the lantern light. His silver hair partially shadows his eyes, and his face is tense as the truth begins to sink in. No dialogue. No narration. The entire final panel focuses on Rei’s clenched fist and the change in his expression.

ABYSS — CHAPTER 1 Page 7: The Forbidden Truth Sora Amamiya — Appearance: A 17-year-old boy, 178 cm tall, with a slim athletic build. He has 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, and black lace-up combat boots. White bandages wrap around both wrists and partially cover both hands. He carries a dark travel bag. Rei Mikazuki — Appearance: A mysterious boy with soft, layered silver hair, cool blue-grey eyes, and a calm, enigmatic expression. He wears a black hooded cloak with subtle blue accents over dark layered clothing, black trousers, and black boots. A blue crystal pendant hangs from a silver chain around his neck. Panel 1 — The Forbidden Entrance Sora stands before the enormous sealed gates of the forbidden area. Warning signs cover the dark stone walls, and guards patrol the entrance. Rei’s warning echoes in his mind, but Sora keeps staring at the gates, determined to discover what is hidden inside. Panel 2 — Slipping Inside Sora quietly makes his way into the restricted passage and approaches a large mechanical detection device mounted beside the entrance. Metal components, rotating lenses, and glowing scanning lights cover its surface. Panel 3 — The Machine Scans The machine projects a scanning light over Sora from head to toe. Strange symbols flash across its display as it searches for his clan. Sora stands perfectly still, watching the device nervously. SFX: BZZZZT… SCANNING… Panel 4 — No Clan Detected A close-up of the machine’s display showing an error message: “CLAN NOT DETECTED.” Its scanning light shuts off, and the mechanical gate remains open. Sora looks at the display in surprise. Sora: “It… can’t detect me?” Panel 5 — Inside the Forbidden Place Sora enters a vast, dimly lit archive filled with towering bookshelves, ancient records, sealed documents, and enormous stone pillars. A shaft of pale light falls across a large desk at the centre of the chamber. A thick, ancient book rests on it. Panel 6 — The Ruler’s Book Sora approaches the desk and notices the title engraved on the book’s dark cover: “THE RULER OF THE ABYSS.” He carefully opens it. The pages are filled with records, official accounts, and information about the ruler’s activities. Sora leans closer, his expression turning serious as he begins reading. Panel 7 — Discovering the Truth A close-up of Sora’s light-grey eyes moving across the page. The open book reveals records describing how the ruler exploits people for money and forces them into slavery for personal gain. Sora’s hands tighten around the pages as he realizes the terrible truth hidden behind the village’s peaceful appearance. Sora: “So… this is what they’re hiding.” Panel 8 — The Secret Revealed Sora stands alone in the enormous archive, holding the open book beneath the dim light. Towering shelves surround him, and the forbidden chamber stretches into darkness behind him. His expression has changed from curiosity to grim determination. Narration: “The truth behind the Abyss was far darker than he had imagined.”

ABYSS — CHAPTER 1 Page 3: The Hidden Village Sora Amamiya — Character Appearance: A 17-year-old boy with messy, layered jet-black hair, sharp irregular spikes, uneven bangs, and light-grey eyes with dark pupils. He wears a fitted black high-collar jacket with silver buttons, a dark shirt, black trousers, a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle, black lace-up combat boots, and white bandages around both wrists and partially over both hands. He carries a dark travel bag. Panel 1 — Running Blindly Sora sprints through the dark, rocky passages of the Abyss, looking frightened. Twisted rock formations surround him, and strange shadows move behind him. He has no idea where he is going. Sora: “I-I need to get out of here!” Panel 2 — The Unknown Path A wide shot of Sora running through a winding passage that splits into several narrow paths. He looks around desperately, unsure which direction to take. Sora: “Where am I supposed to go?!” Panel 3 — Something on the Wall Sora suddenly notices an old wooden signboard attached to a rocky wall. He skids to a stop and turns toward it. The board has a large arrow pointing down a narrow side path. Sora: “Huh?! A sign?” Panel 4 — Following the Arrow Sora rushes down the side path indicated by the signboard. The narrow passage gradually opens up, and a faint glow appears ahead. Panel 5 — An Unexpected Sight Sora emerges from the rocky passage and freezes in shock. Before him lies a hidden village filled with small houses, winding streets, glowing lanterns, and numerous people going about their daily lives. The village is nestled between enormous dark cliffs, completely concealed from the path he came from. Sora: “A… village?!” Panel 6 — The Village in Full View A breathtaking wide shot of the entire village inside the Abyss. Warm lights shine from windows, villagers walk through the streets, and smoke rises gently from chimneys. Sora stands in the foreground, tiny against the unexpected settlement. Narration: “In a place filled with darkness and terror… Sora had discovered a world of its own.”
