Luce woke up to an eerily silent home. His parents and siblings were nowhere to be found. He called out their names but heard only his echoes. The only living creature left in the house was his dog, Rex.

Realizing his family had vanished, Luce felt a pang of fear. He tried to make sense of the situation. He knew he had to find them and understand what had happened.

As he was leaving the house, he saw a strange man standing by the road. The man turned towards him and said, "I can give you the power to save humanity, young Luce."

Luce looked at the man, his heart pounding. He took a step towards him, curiosity overtaking his fear. He was desperate to find his family, and any help was welcome.

The curator opened a small box, revealing a glowing orb. "This will guide you. Remember, you are chosen to save humanity, Luce," he said, his voice echoing in the silent village.

Luce took the orb from the curator. It was warm and radiated a calming energy. He felt a surge of determination. He was ready to start his journey.

Luce and Rex started their journey, venturing into the unknown. The orb guided them, glowing brighter as they moved in the right direction. It was a beacon in their quest.

Along their journey, they encountered strange creatures and landscapes. Luce fought bravely, protected by the power of the orb. Rex never left his side, growling at every threat.

As they ventured further, Luce began to understand the power the curator had given him. He could sense the presence of humans. It felt like he was getting closer to his family.

Finally, they arrived at a colossal fortress. The orb was glowing the brightest it had ever been. Luce knew his family was inside. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Inside, they found themselves in a world out of time. People were frozen, like statues. Among them, Luce found his family. He ran towards them, tears streaming down his face.

Luce held the orb high above his head. It pulsed with energy, filling the room with light. Slowly, the frozen figures began to move. His family was back.

As his family woke up, they were confused but overjoyed to see Luce. He embraced them, his heart filled with relief. He had found his family and saved humanity.

On their way back, they saw the villagers coming back to life. Luce looked at the orb, now dim, and smiled. He had fulfilled his mission. He was a hero.

Luce returned to his normal life, but he was forever changed. He had faced his fear, found his family, and saved humanity. He was no longer just a village boy, but a hero.
