Chapter 1 - The Symbol

In a beautiful day

A boy is walking to his college. He has black hair and black eyes.

He says, "My name is Rahat.

I am an ordinary student… but my life isn't ordinary."

As Rahat walks and thinks, he speaks silently in his mind:

"Finally, I am now a college student. And you once told me that you had a strong will to study with me in college… but alas, our fate. I hope you'll be happy wherever you are now."

Rahat smiles and keeps going.

Suddenly, a person calls Rahat's name.

Rahat looks at him, and the man says:

"Follow me."

Rahat asks,

"Why should I follow you? I don't even know who you are."

The man replies,

"You're wearing hand gloves, aren't you? Isn't it weird in this hot summer? And… I know about your symbol. So follow me, and I'll give you all the information about that symbol."

Rahat is shocked—no one here knows about his symbol.

Without asking further questions, Rahat starts to follow him, because he knows the man holds some mystery he needs to understand… and maybe some answers to the questions that have haunted him.

The man takes Rahat to a hidden location—his headquarter.

Then he says,

"Welcome to my headquarter. You need to listen to me carefully, because what I'm about to tell you is very complicated. The symbol of yours… it's not a normal symbol. It's bound with spiritual powers. And it helps you make a contract with spirits. Which means… this symbol is about spirit bound."

Rahat is shocked and can't say anything.

So many questions swirl in Rahat's mind:

"How? Why? And how do you know all this?"

The stranger looks at Rahat's face and says,

"I know you have a lot of questions inside your mind. But don't worry—slowly, slowly, I will give you all the answers. Now come inside and have a little chat. And yeah, call me Strange Man."

Rahat nods in agreement and steps inside.

Rahat sees so many girls—they are gorgeous and charming.

The Strange Man walks closer to them, then turns back to Rahat and says,

"These are spirits. And by using the symbol, you can create a bond with them. But let me see if there's any match for you. Come closer."

Rahat steps forward.

The Strange Man sighs in sadness and says,

"Sorry… but no match. But don't worry. I'll find one soon."

Rahat's face falls—there's no match for him.

But suddenly, Rahat remembers that he has to go to college.

Rahat thanks the Strange Man, waves at him, and heads back toward his college.

Rahat sits at the back, hoping no one will come there and destroy his privacy.

A girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, a warm smile on her face, walks through the college, searching for her classroom. Everyone watches her, as if they're witnessing the most beautiful view of their lives.

After searching for a while, she finds her class and steps inside.

She says, "Hello, my sweetheart."

All the boys start staring at her like they've never seen a girl before.
