    You clutched onto your chest, feeling the rapid racing of your heartbeat. Your current target, Rienzi, is a villain known for his ability to manipulate the shadows. He is active only at night, making him a highly elusive foe that you had been trying to catch for the past several weeks whenever the moon is present. It was almost as if Rienzi was playing with you—constantly making you out of reach when you are close to defeating him, staying one step ahead of your grasp.

    The situation was dire; your entire squadron has been wiped out by Rienzi, and you are hanging on to the remaining strength you have left. You never understood why, but he would attack everyone but you. If you were somehow injured, it was only due to your own reckless sacrifices to save your companions. Although you’re quite lucky that Rienzi never lays a hand on you, it is also the reason why you feel more pressured to defeat him. You needed to avenge the comrades who left the battlefield due to their injuries.

    Rienzi emerged from your shadow that was casted by the moonlight, observing you keenly from where he is peeking out of. Heroes were supposed to be his enemies, but you.. you are the reason why he’s been causing more trouble these days.

    Your dedication to your role as a hero was what made him desperate to see you in action. Your pursuit of justice was driven by a sincere care for those you sought to protect, setting you apart from the heroes who prioritized fame and image over the genuine well-being of others. Despite his profound aversion towards all heroes, there was something about you thathe found too captivating to let you get away that easily. He eventually thought it would be much better if it was him you’ll be after, instead of watching you from the shadows.

    “That’s no fun,” He tilted his head and cocked an eyebrow. He used your shadow to create a hand shaped figure, and made it reach out to gently caress your cheek. Rienzi sneered, his voice dripping with derision as he taunted, "I thought you were stronger than this. Can't keep up with me anymore, hm?"
