*****

After destroying the organization, the explorers started to investigate the origin of the spiral. They began to ask the people of the town about it, but no one knew anything. At that time, an old man came forward and introduced himself as a former team member of that organization. He agreed to tell the origin of the spiral. He began to tell about the origin.

Before the town was consumed by the spiral that led to the realm of darkness, there was a scientist named Dr. Nakamura. He was a brilliant man, obsessed with discovering the secrets of the universe. He had developed a device that could manipulate time and space, but his experiments were considered unethical and dangerous by the scientific community. Despite this, he continued to work on his experiments, even as the rest of the scientific community shunned him. One day, a fellow scientist approached him, intrigued by his research.

"What have you discovered, Dr. Nakamura?" the scientist asked, his curiosity piqued.

"I have developed a device that can manipulate time and space," Dr. Nakamura replied, his eyes glinting with excitement.

"But that's impossible," the scientist protested. "Such technology could have disastrous consequences."

"I know the risks, but I cannot ignore the potential breakthroughs," Dr. Nakamura replied, his obsession with unlocking the secrets of the universe driving him forward.

As the spiral consumed the town, the people of Japan were left to face the horrors of the darkness. Some tried to fight back, while others succumbed to the madness. Among them was a young woman named Yumi, who had been Dr. Nakamura's assistant before the disaster.

"Dr. Nakamura, what have you done?" Yumi whispered, her eyes filled with tears as she watched the darkness devour everything in its path.

"I was trying to unlock the secrets of the universe," Dr. Nakamura replied, his voice heavy with regret. "But I never meant for this to happen."

"You have to do something," Yumi pleaded. "You have to stop it."

"I'll try," Dr. Nakamura said, his resolve strengthening. "I'll do whatever it takes."

But as he worked feverishly in his laboratory, trying to find a way to stop the spiral, he realized that his efforts were in vain. The darkness had already infected the town, and there was no going back.

"We have to leave," Yumi said, grabbing his arm. "We have to get out of here before it's too late."

But he refused to leave. He knew he had caused this disaster, and he couldn't abandon the people he had put in danger.

"I can't just run away," he said. "I have to find a way to fix this."

And so, he barricaded himself in his laboratory, determined to find a solution. But as the darkness crept closer and closer, he knew he had to make the ultimate sacrifice.

"Yumi, you have to go," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. "I can't let you stay here."

"But what about you?" Yumi asked, her eyes pleading with him.

"I'll be fine," Dr. Nakamura said, his tone calm and resolute. "I have to do this."

And with that, he activated his device, pouring all of his energy into it. The device exploded, sending him hurtling through time and space. As he disappeared into the void, he knew that he had failed.

But his sacrifice was not in vain. The spiral had been temporarily contained, giving the town a chance to recover. These ripples would lead to the rise of a secret organization that would use spirals to manipulate time and space, harvesting souls and gaining power. The organization believed they could unlock the secrets of the universe and control the very fabric of reality itself.

As the organization grew in power and influence, they realized the true extent of their power. They could manipulate governments and societies to further their goals, but their experiments had unintended consequences, unleashing dark forces that threatened to consume the world.

The organization realized too late that they had gone too far. They began to scramble to undo the damage they had caused, but it was too late. The spiral had returned to the town, drawn by the dark energy the organization had unleashed. The townspeople were consumed by the darkness, and the spiral would continue to haunt the town, trapped in an endless cycle of darkness and destruction.

"We have received a letter from one of our team members," one member of the organization said.

"Read it," the leader of the organization said.

As they started reading the letter, they discovered that Dr. Nakamura worked tirelessly in his laboratory, becoming increasingly consumed by his obsession with unlocking the secrets of the universe. He pushed himself to the brink of exhaustion, fueled by his desperate need to prove himself to the scientific community.

He began to experiment with more dangerous and unpredictable technologies, ignoring the warnings of his colleagues, and risking the safety of himself and his assistant, Yumi. As he delved deeper into his research, he became increasingly erratic and paranoid, convinced that there were dark forces at work that only he could uncover.

Meanwhile, the city itself was plagued by its own darkness. Poverty, crime, and corruption were rampant, and many of the citizens had become disillusioned and desperate. Dr. Nakamura saw this as an opportunity to further his research, exploiting the vulnerable and downtrodden to conduct his experiments without interference.

As the spiral drew closer, the darkness in the city grew more intense. Strange rituals and practices began to emerge, as people turned to increasingly desperate measures to ward off the impending doom. Dr. Nakamura himself became a figure of fear and fascination, whispered about in hushed tones by those who knew of his work.

As the spiral finally descended upon the city, Dr. Nakamura's true intentions were revealed. He had not been trying to save the city, but to use it as a laboratory for his experiments. His obsession had driven him to unleash the very forces that now threatened to destroy everything he had ever known. His sacrifice was not a noble one, but a desperate attempt to escape the consequences of his actions.

After reading the letter, they finally understood the origin of the spiral and began searching for the machine. After days of searching, they finally found it and locked it away in a highly secure locker, knowing that if anyone were to use the machine, the spirals would return. However, the machine was stolen from the locker, causing the entire team to panic. They searched for over a year but could not locate it.

Later, they received information that one of their team members had stolen the machine for their own needs. It was too late, as this team member had already assembled a group and was working to make the spiral even more dangerous. The entire team was shocked to hear the news.

"It means the game has just begun and the spirals will return," said the leader of the organization.

After hearing about the origin, one of the explorers said, "Oh, it's how it started. I'm glad we destroyed them and rescued the victims."
