"Whispers of Shadows: The Pact and the Mind's Shield"

After an exhausting day, our main protagonist, Luca, decided to take a nap. As he slipped into the realm of dreams, an unexpected visitor emerged, shrouded in a dark mist. The mysterious figure expressed disdain, exclaiming, "How was I drawn to such a weak and feeble-looking human?" Clearly disappointed by the apparent mismatch, the summoned being began to sever the dream link connecting them.

However, Luca, unfazed and displaying unexpected bravado, began to mock the being, criticizing its decision to break the link without granting him a fair trial. In response to Luca's taunts,he started laughing hysterically stating"VERY WELL, I'M Lucifer, THE KING OF DEMONS LET THE TRIAL COMMENCE," he declared with an ominous tone, setting the stage for an otherworldly confrontation.

Luca was shocked by this revelation, finding out that he could possibly make a pact with the king of demons. Luca is now more determined to win Lucifer's trail for his "DREAM" is to become the strongest dreamer in the world. This trial is titled "duel of the shadows" out of the 100 humans that lucifer has appeared to only "one" has ever prevailed. The rules are simply defeat your opponent with one of the six weapons provided.

The rules seemed simply enough Luca stated, but....there must be catch. Luca observed all six weapons which possess an unique abilities of it's own,he examined the enemy he was about to face and thought to himself which weapon will help him win this battle. Luca decided on going with the shield of minds, This shield not only reflect physical attacks but also mental attacks.

Upon Luca's selection, Lucifer revealed a sly smirk and signaled for the demon to unleash havoc. To Luca's surprise, Lucifer unveiled the demon to be a mind bender, a demon proficient in mental attacks. The Shield of Minds, it appeared, was the ideal choice against this adversary. Lucifer, amused by Luca's decision, remarked, "How interesting. Will he be able to withstand it?".

Luca: "Okay, let the battle be-"

The mind bender immediately teleported in front of Luca, launching a punch. Luca successfully blocked the punch with the mind shield but had a nervous look on his face.

As the punch connected with the mind shield, a loud bell sound was heard, causing Luca to scream, stating that it felt like his mind was going to break.

Tears began flooding from Luca's face as he struggled to dodge the attacks from the mind bender. Luca regretted choosing the shield as his weapon because it only allowed him to focus on defense.

Luca's thought process was damaged from receiving a direct hit from the mind bender, making it painful for him to even think about his next move. Just as he looked up, his vision became blurry.

Though his loss of vision seemed to be from the mind bender's repetitive attacks, it was actually Luca attempting to leave the dream world, which would cause him to lose the chance of forming a pact with Lucifer.
