    One day, a villain appears. He is known for his hypnotic powers, which he uses to control his victims. The hero engages the villain, unaware of the trap that awaits him.

    The confrontation begins. The villain uses his hypnotic powers, and the hero falls under his spell. Unknowingly, he misses the villain who vanishes into thin air.

    The hero, unaware of his actions, starts obeying the villain's commands. He commits heinous acts, including theft and violence, further fueling the villain's schemes.

    Each time the villain's voice echoes in his mind, the hero acts out, leaving the city in chaos. The citizens are left in disbelief as their hero seems to have turned against them.

    The hero, once praised and loved, becomes a puppet in the villain's hands. His actions are causing fear and panic, but he is completely oblivious to it all.

    Deep within his subconscious, the hero fights to regain control. The villain's voice becomes weaker as the hero's will strengthens. His true self is beginning to resurface.
