Attack On Titan: Hope

**Alternative Universe**

Ever since I was born, those massive walls loomed right in front of me, towering over everything. I always wondered what lay beyond them, but we were all trapped, penned in like cattle.

No one inside these walls was free, yet no one dared to question it. They were cowards, content to live like caged animals—ignorant, afraid, accepting their fate.

But I... Eren Yeager... I'm nothing like them. I’ll slaughter every last one of those monsters... I can’t—no, I won’t forgive them. I’ll become a scout and wipe them out, every single one.

——————————————

Eren Yeager, just a 7-year-old kid with an iron resolve to one day butcher every last titan, started having strange dreams while sleeping under the shade of a tree. These dreams weren’t ordinary.

They came with voices—eerie, echoing whispers that haunted his mind. From that day on, he was plagued by terrifying episodes, his shrieks piercing the peaceful nights of Shiganshina.

The only thing his neighbors could hear through the walls was, "Mom!! Dad!! Help me!! My head, it’s all messed up!!" His parents, Grisha and Carla, were there, but they had no idea what their son was going through. Despite their efforts, no one could understand what was happening.

Months dragged by, and slowly, his condition seemed to improve, the nightmares faded, and the headaches ceased.

Then, on a quiet morning, a voice rang out in Eren’s ears and a translucent blue screen popped out of nowhere.

The voice was clearer now, no longer a haunting whisper but a direct message in his mind.

"The hell...." Eren his eyes wide open, his gaze never leaving the screen. Intrigued by the mysterious voice in his head, Eren threw himself into action. Unsure if it was any good or just his mind playing with him.
