Prompt (original, unmodified)
A young Japanese boy inside an ancient wooden temple at night. Moonlight shines through shoji screens, illuminating floating dust in the air. The temple is filled with old statues, hanging lanterns, and sacred artifacts. At the center of the main hall rests a sealed sacred relic on a wooden altar, wrapped in old ofuda talismans and sacred rope. The boy, wearing a simple hoodie and school backpack, slowly approaches the relic with curiosity and hesitation. He reaches out and touches the glowing sacred treasure. Suddenly, brilliant golden and crimson spiritual energy erupts outward, shaking the temple pillars. Paper talismans scatter into the air. Intense light fills the hall. Cinematic lighting, volumetric light rays through incense smoke, dramatic shadows, ultra realistic wood textures, 4K, high detail, mystical Japanese atmosphere. The boy begins transforming into a legendary guardian hero inspired by ancient samurai armor blended with modern superhero design. A flowing red-and-white energy cloak forms behind him like a spiritual aura. Golden patterns resembling traditional Japanese motifs glow across his armor. Epic transformation sequence, swirling spiritual particles, glowing kanji symbols appearing in the air, dynamic circular camera movement, Hollywood-level VFX, dramatic taiko-style background atmosphere, high contrast, slow motion.
