Note : Still Jade Hunter past

(2 years ago)

As Inko strolled down the bustling streets, her heart was heavy with the weight of the news she had just heard. The city's destruction at the hands of a long-hidden villain sent chills down her spine. A decade of silence shattered in an instant, and the name that echoed through her mind was none other than All for One.

Her thoughts raced as she considered the implications of his return. Why would he emerge from the shadows now? As she weaved through the bustling crowd, Inko's mind raced with thoughts of the infamous All for One. The stories about him were legendary - a dark figure with the ability to steal and stockpile multiple quirks, making him nearly invincible. It was a chilling realization that such a villainous force could now be on the loose again.

As she unlocked her apartment door, an inexplicable heaviness in the air made her hair stand on end. The low hum of the television in the living room was accompanied by an unsettling presence. Inko's instincts kicked in, warning her that she wasn't alone.

Her heart pounded loudly in her chest as she slowly entered the living room, only to find a man sitting calmly on her couch, fixated on the news playing on the screen. His presence exuded a sense of danger that sent chills down Inko's spine.

"Nice house you've got here," the man said nonchalantly, his voice smooth and disarming, belying the danger he posed.

Inko's mind raced, trying to figure out who this man could be and how he had gained entry into her secure apartment. She knew better than to reveal her own quirk immediately; after all, she had learned to be cautious in a world where villains lurked in the shadows.

With a mask of composure, she asked, "Identify yourself. How did you get in here?"

The man turned to her, and as their eyes met, Inko felt an overwhelming surge of malevolence emanating from him. It was as if darkness itself had taken human form.

"Careful now," he replied with an unsettling smile, "You wouldn't want to provoke someone who can be rather... destructive."

Inko couldn't help but feel a shiver down her spine as the man's cold fingers touched her chin, forcing her to meet his intense gaze. His blood-red eyes locked onto hers, and for a moment, she was lost in their intensity. Despite the fear and danger, she couldn't deny that there was an undeniable appeal to this enigmatic person.

His appearance, though intimidating, held a strange allure. The contrast of his untamed white hair against the darkness of his attire seemed to exude power and mystery. As he gazed at her, she couldn't help but feel a strange mix of fear and fascination, as if she were drawn to the very darkness that surrounded him.

"Beautiful," he murmured, his voice smooth and captivating. "A face that holds both innocence and strength."

Inko's cheeks flushed at his words, trying to suppress the unease bubbling within her.
