Early in the morning, on a cloudy day in an ordinary city, Daytona, a 16-year-old girl wakes up to go to school — just another normal day in her life. Her friends Huracán and Martin are also at school with her. Just a normal day.
Daytona wakes up at 6:00 AM and gets out of bed, heading to the kitchen where her mom is.
Daytona: Hey mom, I'm going to get ready for school, okay?
Mom: Alright, I didn't make anything for dinner, so just get dressed and I'll give you some money to buy something on the way.
Daytona grabs the money from the table, gets dressed, and heads outside, walking to the bus station. She gets there, sits on a bench, and waits for the bus to arrive — but it's taking forever.
Daytona (looking at the ground): This is taking too long… I'm going to be late for school. (looks to the side) There's a food stand over there… I think I'll grab something to eat while I wait.
She walks over to the small stand nearby, not too far away. She picks something to eat — and just then, the bus drives by.
She runs to try and catch the bus to get to school, but she gets tired before reaching it and can't make it. Suddenly, an SUV-type car pulls up next to her — it's Huracán, her friend.
Huracán: You're late, huh? Hop in, I'll give you a ride to school.
The car is a Ferrari Purosangue. Huracán lives in a very upscale neighborhood, so it's not much of a surprise.
Daytona (surprised): Wow! Nice car. How did you know I'd be walking down this street?
Huracán: I always come this way. You take that bus every day? Now we're riding in a Ferrari…
Daytona: Yeah, I usually take that bus. Is this your car?
Huracán (smiling): It's my dad's. We're almost at school.
Daytona and Huracán arrive at school and meet up with Martin, who also showed up late.
Martin (greeting them): Good to see you both again!
Huracán: Yeah!
Daytona (smiling): Good to see you too!
Martin, Daytona, and Huracán head to the classroom to chat, just like any other teenagers at school.
Huracán: You guys doing anything tonight?
Martin: Not me, I'll just stay home. What about you, Daytona?
Daytona: I'm going out with my parents. They said it's a surprise, but okay.
Huracán (looking at Daytona): Maybe it's a trip, maybe you're going somewhere.
Martin (looking at the ceiling): Yeah, that could be it too, Daytona!
Time passes, and it's recess. Daytona walks around the school alone, talking to herself… or is she?
Daytona (walking upstairs and talking to herself): Some unexpected things have been happening lately… weird…
She runs into Martin.
Martin: Oh, hey Daytona. Were you talking to yourself?
Daytona (smiling): Uh, yeah… but did you hear everything I said?
Martin (softly): Not all of it. I was looking at the ceiling.
Daytona (confused): Why do you keep looking at the ceiling?
Martin (going downstairs): Just a thing I do. You'd never understand. Not even I do, haha!
Daytona (going up): Alright then…
A few hours pass after the break, and it's time to leave. Daytona and Huracán head to Daytona's house just to hang out. Huracán grabs the Purosangue's keys and goes with Daytona.
Meanwhile, on the way…
Martin (driving): So, Daytona, what've you been up to lately?
Daytona (looking out the window): Just life stuff, you know, teenager things. But hey, I'm thinking of asking my parents if you can come along with us tonight — if the surprise is a trip. What do you think?
Martin: Sure! Sounds good — if they say yes, of course.
Daytona (looking at Martin): I think they'll say yes. We've been friends since we were four.
Martin: We have? Oh yeah, we have. I thought it was "samos" not "somos"…
Later that night, they arrive at Daytona's house.
Martin (taking off his seatbelt): We're here.
They both get out of the car and go inside.
Daytona's Mom: Hey again! Looks like you brought your friend. Get ready, we're heading out soon. Is Martin coming too?
Daytona and Martin look at each other.
Martin: Yes, I'm coming with you.
Daytona's Mom: Okay. Daytona, your dad's already in the car outside and I'm going too. Go wait with Martin by the garage, alright?
Daytona: Got it!
Daytona's mom, she, and Martin walk to the garage.
Daytona's Dad: Hey Martin! Hop in, we're about to start the trip.
A few minutes later, they're all on the road…
Martin: Where are we going?
Daytona's Mom: You'll find out when we get there.
Daytona (looking out the window): Is it going to take long?
Daytona's Dad: A bit.
After a while, driving at 120 km/h, something tragic happens. The car loses control because of a large piece of wood in the road. It veers off and crashes into a wooded area. The door near Daytona flies open and she's ejected from the car — not too far, but violently. She lands on a red circle surrounded by candles, but manages to get up.
Daytona (getting up and whispering): Guys? What happened?
She had broken her right forearm when she hit a tree after being ejected.
Daytona (thinking): Ouch! I think I broke my forearm…
She stands and realizes she landed in the middle of a red circle with a pentagram and candles around it. She steps out and heads to the overturned car where the others are. She sees Martin getting out, injured but okay.
Martin (running to Daytona): Daytona! Are you okay?!
Daytona (holding her injured arm): I think… I don't know. Really don't know. But what about my parents??
Martin: They're still in the car. I couldn't get them out, I don't know if they're okay… the car's crushed, I just couldn't do it. We need to get out of here!
Daytona (panicking): I don't know what to do… How can we leave without them? I can't!
Martin: We have to! There could be animals out here that could hurt us too!
Martin grabs Daytona's hand and runs to the nearest road, trying to hitch a ride out of the dark forest — it's nighttime. After a few minutes with no cars, one finally passes but ignores them. Soon after, another car stops and offers them a ride.
Martin (getting in): Thanks for stopping!
Daytona also gets in.
Daytona: Thanks so much! What's your name?
???: You can call me Ghost. Nice to meet you both. What are your names?
Ghost is a 32-year-old man driving the same route Daytona's family was.
Daytona: My name is Hallara Daytona, and my friend is Martin… Martin what again?
Martin (looking at her): Martin Santana, Daytona.
Daytona: Oh right, sorry.
Ghost (driving): Got it. So what were you two doing out on the road at this hour?
Daytona: My parents, Martin and I were on a road trip, but there was an accident and we ended up in the woods. Then we came to the road to try and find someone to give us a ride home. You know?
Ghost: I see… that's rough. I'm heading to a hotel. We'll stay there for the night.
Martin (thinking): Oh god.
Ghost: I'll rent a room just for the two of you. I'm going out somewhere, so you'll have it to yourselves, okay?
Martin (thinking): Thank god.
After a few hours on the road, they arrive at a small hotel to rent a room and stay the night.
Inside the hotel (to rent a room)…
Receptionist (talking to Ghost): How many nights? Each night is 40 coins.
Ghost (talking to the receptionist): Just one night. By the way, Daytona, do you know what time it is?
Receptionist: It's exactly 12:00 AM.
Ghost: Alright, just one night then.
The receptionist hands the hotel room key to Martin.
Ghost (handing the key to Martin): Go to the room, and if you want, go rest. I'm going out of the hotel to take care of some personal stuff, but I'll be back in the morning.
Martin takes the hotel key and heads to the elevator with Daytona to go up to the room.
Arriving on the floor…
Martin (walking down the hallway with Daytona): Room 009… 009… Here! Found it.
Martin opens the door to the room and both go in.
Daytona (lying on the bed, thinking and looking at her forearm…): It stopped hurting, but… so fast? That's weird…
Martin (sits next to Daytona): Daytona, are you okay? You've been staring at your forearm for a while. Is it hurt?
Daytona (looking at him): No, it's nothing, just an old scar and… well, actually it was broken, but it suddenly stopped hurting, that's why I kept looking.
Martin (lying down): I see, that's strange…
Time passes and both fall asleep, and Daytona has a dream that's rather… strange, or unexpected — maybe both.
Daytona's Dream:
It was the forest where she had fallen after the accident, but with a much darker atmosphere than usual. It carried an overwhelmingly strong energy — something was there…
Daytona (looking around): Is anyone there?
Suddenly, a tall entity appears behind Daytona. It was a muscular creature with two pairs of horns and what seemed like a goat skull as both mask and headgear. This being was a demon from Setealem — one of the most feared and powerful: Belzebub.
Belzebub (looking at Daytona): Daytona… You're shorter than I imagined…
Daytona (falls to the ground in fear): Who are you?!
Belzebub: You fell into the circle I prepared myself. Everything that happened was part of my plan… because I need your help — in exchange for saving your life and preventing the end of the world.
Daytona (getting up): But why me?
Belzebub (looking around): Ehhh, I don't really know… I just picked someone random, honestly. Anyway, I'll wake you up now. We'll talk tomorrow…
Daytona: No! Wait—!
Daytona wakes up.
Daytona (startled): What was that?! I think…
Daytona sees that her forearm is completely healed — no longer broken.
Daytona: I think something big is coming…
