The sky above Nightshade Academy was an unsettling shade of crimson, as if the heavens themselves were bleeding. The clouds twisted unnaturally, swirling in patterns that hinted at something ancient and ominous.
Standing before the towering gates was Luffy, a 16-year-old boy with messy hair, a carefree grin, and a worn straw hat perched on his head. Despite the eerie atmosphere, he stood there with unshakable confidence.
"Alright, Luffy," he muttered, adjusting his hat, "new school, new adventure. Don't screw this up."
He took a deep breath and stepped through the gates.
The Dorm of Nightmares
The dormitory hallway was silent… too silent. The old wooden floor creaked with every step he took. Dim flickering lights cast shaky shadows across the walls, where paintings of long-forgotten students seemed to be watching him.
Luffy dragged his suitcase behind him, nervously glancing left and right.
"Uh… anyone here?" he called out, his voice echoing.
No answer.
Suddenly—BAM!
He tripped over a loose board, stumbled forward… and face-planted into a laundry basket.
As he groaned and tried to push himself up, a single, frilly pink panty floated down dramatically and landed on his face.
"…Huh?"
Before he could process what just happened—
"YOU. IDIOT. PERVERT. CURSE-ACTIVATOR!!!"
Lilith Noirveil Appears
Descending from the shadows above was a girl glowing with dark, seductive energy. She had long, soft pink hair, piercing crimson eyes, and wore a gothic-styled uniform. Her presence screamed danger.
Her name: Lilith Noirveil.
Luffy blinked. "Wait! I didn't mean to—"
She marched toward him, her heels clicking like a death countdown.
"You saw it," she said coldly, pointing at the panty.
"The sacred panty. The one tied to the prophecy."
"…Panty prophecy???"
Lilith narrowed her eyes. "Yes, baka. That panty is cursed. And now you're linked to it."
"Wait—what?! I just tripped!"
Lilith didn't care. "You're soul-linked to me now. For 66 days… or until one of us dies."
Luffy's jaw dropped. "THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY!"
"And every time you think pervy thoughts… I feel it."
"…So like… boobs?"
BONK! A pillow smacked him in the face.
"ESPECIALLY BOOBS."

The Ghost in the Bathroom
After barely surviving Lilith's rage, Luffy retreated to the dorm's bathroom.
"A hot shower will fix my cursed soul… right?"
He opened the curtain—and froze.
Floating in the steam was a translucent girl with purple-black hair, glowing eyes, and a playful grin.
"Ara~ You found me~"
Luffy screamed. "GHOST!?!"
The ghost floated closer with teasing energy.
"I'm Ryo. This dorm's friendly neighborhood spirit~"
Luffy backed into the wall. "W-Wait, you're not gonna possess me or something, right?!"
Ryo giggled. "Nah. I just like watching cute boys get cursed."

The Mysterious Book
Back in his room, Luffy found a creepy old book wrapped in red string in his bag.
He opened it… and saw his name written in blood.
"What the hell—?"
Suddenly, a new figure appeared—Miyu Aihara, a calm, spiritual exorcist girl.
"That book… it's cursed. You don't know what you've awakened."
"WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT?!"
The Nightmare
That night, Luffy dreamt of his past. Mirrors reflected his old friends, the betrayals, the harsh words… the guilt.
Then, his reflection twisted into a demonic version of himself.
"You're the real monster."
He woke up, sweating, gasping for air.
Lilith, sleeping beside him, muttered, "You better not have dreamt about panties…"
"I DIDN'T! I SWEAR!"
"Baka…"
