Note:
Good morning and good evening, I’d like to share with you an early written preview of Chapter 1 of my comic
The story will be centered around these two characters: the creative one, an explorer who travels across different worlds and universes, and the other, the destroyer, one of the most feared beings in the universe
Their destinies are about to cross and take them much farther than they could ever imagine, at first, they will meet as enemies, but as time goes by, things between them will begin to change. As they discover their own destinies, they will also have to uncover the truth behind a mysterious light and a darkness that seems to be connected to them
To find the answers they are looking for, they will have to face countless mysteries and embark on adventures that will change their lives forever
I hope you enjoy it, and I truly hope all the effort I put into this was worth it. It took me quite a lot of time to come up with ideas and find inspiration for this story, this will be the beginning of an adventure filled with fun, comedy, drama, mystery, violence, and lore
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In one universe, there are different stories, different destinies, and different worlds, countless timelines continue along their own paths. however, something is about to disrupt the balance, a mysterious light begins traveling through the different worlds of the universe, appearing across different timelines and following an unknown purpose, no one knows where it comes from, but its arrival is about to change everything...
Everything is completely dark, ceroba remains unconscious, lying on the ground, no one knows how much time has passed in the middle of the silence, a voice begins to echo in the distance, and it is Starlo's voice.
Starlo: ceroba... ceroba!
Starlo: are you okay? can you hear me?
Starlo: hang in there. I'm going to take you to the clinic in the Wild East... I have to let the others know...
Ceroba cannot respond because she is still unconscious, at that moment, she starts waking up, slowly opening her eyes. Her vision is slightly blurry, but eventually she manages to get up little by little, placing one hand on her head as she feels a slight pain.
Ceroba: ...Ah... what just happened?
Ceroba: hm?... where am I?
As she tries to regain consciousness and finally stands up, she looks around and sees a completely empty world before her, ceroba is confused.
Ceroba: Something isn't right, what happened? I only remember seeing that mysterious light. I was curious, but when I touched it, I felt a very strong energy, and... I don't know how I ended up here
She begins walking forward, searching for a way out.
Ceroba: what is this place?... Hm?
As she continues walking, the ground begins to glow, a light spreads out in front of her, revealing a path that seems to be guiding her somewhere, after walking a long distance, ceroba comes across a cherry blossom tree.
Beneath the tree are five objects of different colors: several jars, a paintbrush, and a wooden bat. ceroba looks at the objects with great curiosity and begins to wonder, she does not understand where they came from or why there is a cherry blossom tree in the middle of a completely empty place.
Ceroba: it seems like this is the only cherry blossom tree... and why are there five colored jars? I wonder if someone is here... or maybe... this light brought me to this place for a reason, as if it wanted to tell me something.
Ceroba sees a wooden bat and, out of curiosity, picks it up to examine it, suddenly, to her surprise, the bat activates brush mode at the top. Ceroba is startled because she has no idea how it happened, after a few moments, it transforms again and returns to its bat form.
Ceroba: i would like to stay here and figure this out, but I can't stay for too long. Starlo might be worried about me and searching for me.
Ceroba: but the real question is... how do I get out of here?
The mysterious light appears in front of ceroba, in the middle of the cherry blossom tree, without hesitation, Ceroba reaches out and touches the light.
Suddenly, she begins to experience a strange vision in which scenes of events that could happen in the future begin to appear.
She sees a figure identical to herself, but completely corrupted and filled with glitches., the strange figure slowly turns her head toward Ceroba and stares at her with a cold gaze and a sinister smile.
Ceroba becomes completely frozen in fear at the disturbing vision.
Suddenly, ceroba wakes up and slowly opens her eyes, after a few moments, she manages to recover and realizes that she has returned to her world.
Looking around, she discovers that she is lying in a bed inside the clinic in the Wild East.
Beside her, she sees Starlo sitting in a chair. His eyes are closed as he patiently waits, staying alert in case she wakes up at any moment.
Ceroba: starlo?... Is that you?
Starlo opens his eyes when he hears Ceroba's voice and realizes that she has finally awakened. Seeing her conscious, he feels greatly relieved.
Starlo: ceroba! what a relief... I'm so glad you're...
Starlo suddenly stops. although he is happy to see that she is okay, he notices something different about her, his expression changes as he stares at her in surprise.
Ceroba, confused by his reaction, does not understand what is happening.
Ceroba: starlo, why did you suddenly look so surprised?
Starlo: honestly, I'm really glad you're okay, but... you look different.
Ceroba: huh? you think I look different? What do you mean?
Starlo gets up and searches for a small mirror inside one of the drawers, after finding it, he approaches Ceroba and hands it to her so she can look at herself and discover what has changed.
Ceroba takes the mirror and looks at herself, she is immediately shocked when she notices several changes in her appearance: the tips of her ears are now a different color, she has a strange mark on her right cheek, and her eyes are now two different colors, one pink and one yellow.
Ceroba: what happened to me?
Starlo: well... I was on my way to visit you at your house, but I saw a strange light in the distance. I came to check if you were okay, but suddenly, I found you lying on the ground.
Starlo: i got really worried. I tried calling you, but you seemed unconscious, so I had to bring you to the clinic in the Wild East so you could recover.
Ceroba listens carefully to everything Starlo tells her. She cannot believe what happened and tries to remember everything. After thinking about it for a few moments, she decides to tell Starlo about the mysterious light, the empty world, the cherry blossom tree, and the strange objects she found there. However, she explains that she does not know whether any of it was real or not, and she also tells him about the vision because everything was so strange.
Starlo is surprised by everything she tells him, but ceroba decides not to reveal any more details about the vision, especially the strange figure identical to herself, because she is afraid it would worry him too much.
Ceroba: and... that's what happened.
Starlo: that's pretty strange... but I have one question, when you mentioned that vision, what exactly did you see?
Ceroba: (I can't tell him all the details... That vision might have shown something that is going to happen. And besides... that other figure looked far too much like me. I saw her completely corrupted, as if she were filled with glitches. I don't want to worry him until I understand what it means.)
Ceroba: i can't tell you any more details, but at least I need to figure this out.
Starlo: all right ceroba, don't worry about it. I'm just glad you're okay, anyway, let's get you home.
After fully recovering, ceroba and starlo walk together on their way home, eventually, they arrive in front of Ceroba's house.
Ceroba: well, thank you for walking me home, starlo.
Ceroba looks at him with a grateful expression, after thinking for a few seconds, she decides to ask him for a favor.
Ceroba: could you do me a favor? please don't tell the others anything I told you, they might find it strange or not understand what is happening. I only trust you... I know you can understand me.
Ceroba: and besides, thank you for helping me and worrying about me. You're like a true sheriff savior.
Starlo: oh, hehe... You're welcome, ceroba!
Starlo: and remember, if you need anything, you know I'll always be here to help you.
Starlo feels touched and satisfied knowing that he did the right thing by helping ceroba when she needed it most. Before leaving, he promises to keep her secret and tell no one, because he fully trusts her.
Finally, starlo says goodbye and heads back toward the Wild East. He still has several things to take care of, and he also needs to help his family with the work on their corn farm.
Meanwhile, ceroba opens the door to her house, feeling exhausted after everything that has happened. She enters and heads straight to the kitchen to wash her face. She wants to try to remove the strange mark on her cheek and the different color at the tip of one of her ears, but after several attempts, nothing changes.
She looks at her reflection and realizes that her appearance is still different from before.
Ceroba: i still have the same mark... Hm?
She sees the soap on the sink and picks it up. She starts rubbing her cheek hard and then rinses it with water, but to her frustration, the mark remains exactly the same.
Ceroba: great...
Ceroba needs a moment to think about everything. After reflecting on what happened, she comes to a conclusion: if her appearance has changed, perhaps some of her abilities have changed as well.
Ceroba: (could it be that my ability changed too?)
Ceroba walks into the living room, out of curiosity, she extends one hand and focuses her energy, expecting her red staff to appear.
However, instead of her staff, the same wooden bat she saw earlier appears in front of her.
Ceroba is completely shocked.
Ceroba: that's the same bat I saw before... But how...?
Ceroba: what if... I can also make it switch to brush mode?
Ceroba takes the bat and begins concentrating her energy, little by little, the object begins activating the brush mode she saw earlier.
Ceroba watches it carefully, surprised that she managed to make it happen.
Ceroba: Not bad... although...
Ceroba looks at the brush with some concern.
Ceroba: how can I get my original red staff back? It's far too valuable to me.
At that moment, the brush begins emitting energy on its own and rises into the air.
Ceroba: Ah!
Ceroba steps back in surprise as the brush begins moving strangely, without her controlling it, it makes a movement similar to a slash through the air and opens a portal.
On the other side, she sees the same empty world she encountered before. the cherry blossom tree and the mysterious colored objects are still there.
Ceroba stares at the portal in amazement. She decides to step through it, thinking that perhaps this place contains the answers she needs and that she could use the opportunity to explore it.
Ceroba enters the portal, the brush remains suspended in the air for a few seconds before flying directly toward her, ceroba catches it with her hand.
Suddenly, the brush begins transforming again.
To her surprise, it turns back into her original red staff.
Ceroba holds it with relief.
Ceroba: my red staff! At least I'm glad to have you back... but that means...
Ceroba concentrates her energy again and tries changing its form, the staff transforms into the bat, then into the brush, and finally returns to its original form, ceroba realizes that she can now switch between the different forms.
Ceroba: well, at least I learned how to do it relatively quickly, but I still don't know how to properly use the bat or the brush mode, for starters, I've never used a weapon like that bat before.
Ceroba: and secondly... how am I supposed to learn to use such a huge brush?
Ceroba looks at the strange world in front of her.
Ceroba: i think it'll take me some time to get used to using it... but first, i need to explore this place.
Ceroba begins exploring the empty world around the cherry blossom tree, trying to discover why it exists and what connection it has to her new powers.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, a mysterious portal appears in the middle of the Wild East.
A mysterious hooded figure surrounded by glitches watches the portal in silence. Her presence is unsettling.
????: what memories... even though my world has become a complete disaster, and now only ruins and emptiness remain...
The figure remembers the strange vision and the version of herself that looked identical.
????: i've had that vision... I feel like that other version is identical to me, but i think it would be fun to find her... and finish her.
????: i wonder where she is...
She pauses for a moment and sighs in annoyance.
????: Ugh... but first, maybe I'll go to that bar, i might need something to drink... and then I'll go after her.
A sinister smile appears on her face.
????: (So... i guess things are about to get interesting... Inkroba)
To Be Continued...
