In the evening, in a bustling street in the city of Berlin, the German capital, a seventeen-year-old young man, he has brown hair worn long with a center part, brown eyes, and lightly tanned skin. He was reading a message on his phone while walking.
"Hey, Reinhard, can you send me the week's lessons since I was sick?"
-Is he serious? He can't ask someone else to do it; he knows very well that I come home late in the evenings."
As he muttered to himself, lost in irritation, he accidentally bumped into someone. Startled, he quickly turned to apologize, but as he opened his mouth, he realized he wasn't in the bustling city anymore. Instead, he found himself standing in a sunlit forest, surrounded by tall trees and the gentle chirping of birds. Perplexed, he glanced around, trying to make sense of his sudden surroundings.
Shocked and bewildered, he muttered to himself.
"What the hell is going on?"
Suddenly, Reinhard heard a deafening roar. In the next instant, he felt a primal fear grip him, causing him to fall to the ground. Out of nowhere, a creature, standing 5 meters tall, resembling a bear, appeared. Pitch black claws, seemingly capable of shredding anything in their path, protruded from its massive paws. Its fur was a deep blue, fading into white around its neck. Horns resembling those of a ram adorned its head, while its blood-red eyes instilled fear in anyone unfortunate enough to meet its gaze.
As Reinhard gazed at the creature, he felt a sharp pain near his left shoulder and realized his arm was gone. Before he could even turn to flee, the creature pierced his chest. Just before Reinhard lost consciousness, he heard a mechanical voice.

After losing consciousness, Reinhard found himself in a space of absolute darkness, feeling invisibles gazes upon him. Amidst all the shadows, he saw a light and heard a voice.
-"Don't worry, I'm going to save you."
-------------------
-"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Reinhard jolted awake, his heart racing as he screamed in panic. Gradually, his breathing slowed as he looked around and realized he was in a bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed. As he calmed down, he glanced at his left arm and was astonished to find it fully intact. Doubt crept into his mind as he questioned whether the loss of his arm had been real or just a terrifying dream. He noticed a tattoo-like black marking winding up his right forearm.
Reinhard heard the sound of the door opening, snapping him out of his contemplation. He saw a young man with fair skin and yellow irises with purple pupils. He had smooth, wavy grayish-blue shoulder-length hair with a fringe swept up to the left. Angel wings of a similar color protruded from behind his ears, along with a halo behind his head. The man politely asked him.
-"Are you all right?"
