The Unknown Man

I stood frozen in the doorway, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at the lifeless bodies of my family strewn across the living room. The scene before me was a nightmare come to life. I could barely comprehend the horror that had unfolded within the walls of my home.

Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision as sorrow engulfed me. How could this have happened? Who could have done such a monstrous act? And then I saw him. The unknown man, standing in the midst of the devastation, watching me with cold, emotionless eyes.

A surge of anger coursed through my veins, overpowering my grief. I couldn't bear to have him just stand there, observing the aftermath of his heinous crime. Without a second thought, I charged towards him, my fists clenched tightly.

The unknown man's eyes widened in surprise as I launched myself at him. I moved faster than I ever thought possible, my anger propelling me forward. But he was no ordinary man. He swiftly raised his arms, blocking my frenzied attacks with ease.

I was taken aback by his agility, his ability to match my speed. How could he be so quick? My sadness transformed into a burning rage, fueling my determination to bring him to justice. But before I could land another blow, he delivered a powerful kick to my chest, sending me crashing across the room.

Pain shot through my body as I collided with the wall. Gasping for breath, I struggled to regain my footing. My anger refused to let me stay down. I pushed myself up, my gaze fixed on the unknown man who now stood a few feet away, watching me intently.

It was then that I noticed something peculiar happening around me. The bloodstains that covered the floor and walls seemed to come alive, swirling and moving as if guided by some unseen force. A surge of realization washed over me – I had tapped into an unknown power.

With a flick of my hand, the blood transformed into sharp, deadly spears that floated in the air. They hung there, ready to strike at my command. The unknown man's expression shifted from surprise to unease as he realized I possessed abilities beyond his expectations.

He muttered something under his breath, acknowledging that I was a sorcerer. But just as the blood spears were about to pierce through the air towards him, they came to an abrupt halt. It was as if an invisible shield had materialized, protecting him from my assault.

Confusion and shock washed over me. How could he defend against my powers? My mind raced with questions, trying to make sense of the situation. The unknown man and I shared a connection, a similarity in our abilities. But before I could process this revelation, he vanished into thin air, leaving me standing there, bewildered.

Time seemed to stand still as I tried to make sense of what had just transpired. But my thoughts were interrupted as a sudden blow struck the back of my head. Darkness consumed me as I crumpled to the floor, losing consciousness.

Before I completely faded into oblivion, I heard a faint click. The unknown man had activated a device on his wrist, illuminating the room with a soft glow. He muttered something about having something to report, leaving me with more questions than answers.
