In a certain city of ruin, a lone person sat in the corner of the walls.

Currently, the sky above him was filled in darkness even though it is still daytime.

How was it a daytime? Well, he is currently in a world that's inverted, mirrored so to say, from the real world.

In this inverted world, everything was either black or white. A complete [Monochrome World].

And here, only this person has no counterpart in the real. And he too, has no color except for his eyes that glowed red.

His name is Warren Black, one of the shadow people, a [Phantom].

He can only exist in the shadows of the real world and is deadly to light. He can neither touch nor eat anything.

Right now, he is trapped, sealed even, in this city of ruins. He doesn't know why or who did this.

Actually, he doesn't remember how he came into being. It just started on a certain day, and he just happened to know his name, his race, his power and simple words and actions.

The barrier and Warren is invisible to ordinary people in the real world, only extraordinary or gifted ones can see.

["...I wonder...will I ever be freed off this place?..."]

He can only wait, wait for someone able to see him.

There had been many that passed by here, adventurers, peddlers, all sorts of people and races for a place to rest.

But none of them can see nor hear him.

Time continued to pass until a certain day.

A certain white haired boy, whether by coincidence or not, sat on the same spot as where Warren's counterpart in the real should be in order to rest and brought out his sandwich.

["Oooh, what tasty looking sandwich. I wonder if he'll give me some if I ask. Not like he'll see or hear me anyway."]

Warren said in a bored manner, expecting that the boy won't hear him anyway.

Strangely enough, the boy raised his head from the sandwich and looked around.

"? Where are you? Are you hungry?"

["!? Y-You can hear me?"]

"? How can I not?"

Warren was surprised, overjoyed by the fact that someone was finally able to hear him.

So he decided to show himself.

He dived in the shadow of the white haired person and materialized in the real world.
