A first-person POV close-up shot from the protagonist's perspective, capturing a mid-transformation scene within a cramped rented room above a tavern in the Royal Capital's lower market district. In the center of the frame, a young boy with messy brown hair and round wire-frame glasses grips a demon sword with both hands; his exposed forearms and the back of his neck are tinted with a dusky reddish hue, with dark crimson veins branching like root systems up toward his elbows. His glasses are slightly fogged from heat, and his one visible eye reveals a thin crimson ring around the pupil. The demon sword blazes with deep blood-red light, its dark steel blade etched with faintly glowing crimson runes that appear to drip like molten veins. In the background, papers on a wooden table flutter violently from a hot wind amidst a haze of swirling crimson particles. The visual style is a high-quality anime illustration with intense blood-red glows and deep, dark shadows, creating a mood of dangerous seduction of power and volatile energy.
