After an verbal invitation, Jang found himself in front of Gonda's house gates, which were 3 meters tall, full metal with emerald tips in form of small pine cones, and a gate that opened digitally by the use of a remote.

Seconds after he arrived, the gates opened just like magic, and Jang paced himself on a great walk on a fine cement path towards the house. Near the concrete path, there were gardens of roses in the left and right and statues of which Jang thought that they were Gonda's family and him, maybe?

Inside the gardens of roses, there were two ladies who were fixing the bushes and painting the wall of the fence from outside the garden.

His step was on top of the piece of leather with a word printed on it "Welcome" with a white formation.


From outside, the house looked like a smaller mansion, but from the inside it looked like an adventure park. Not even Jang understood how is that.

Near the entrance, Jang left his shoes, which was guarded by four life-size knight statues and one big TV.

The main room from the first floor was filled with colorful objects, everything being in perfect symetry, the rest is not worth for attentioning.

Jang thought to himself that he should sit on a bright yellow couch, it was so soft that he almost fell asleep while being slowly sucked in more and more.

Gonda came with two big glasses that had the form of two crowns and a bucket of it.

"Come with me, I gotta show you something"

Gonda lead Jang to another room which had a long and thin pipe that was coming down from roof, which had a tiny hole in the middle of it

"Put this glass under that pipe"

Jang did as he said and Gonda pressed a button from near the metal pipe

Suddenly, his glass was starting to fill itself with the liquid coming from inside the pipe, it was orange juice.

Jang was in pure shock and amazement

"Cool, right?"
Asked Gonda with a proud look on his face

Gonda lead Jang more in the insides of the house, showing him, his gaming center, which was a room filled with games and consoles. A small restaurant, which was located more in the basement, and a long pool with colored stones surrounding around the pool, and a large glass pane that was used as the cover walls for the pool spacing.




After both of them took a sip of the ice cold soda, contracting the hot summer air, Gonda told him that his father can make the costume for him, asking Jang if he has the prototype done.

"For real, you can do that?"
Asked Jang with a curious and careful look on his expression.

"Don't worry, my father can hire anyone to get it done"

Jang took out a piece of folded paper from inside his hoodies left pocket and extended his hand in which he had the information on.


He put the piece of paper inside the pocket from his pants, got up and told Jang to follow him, with a wave of his hand.

A servant opened the door, with Jang going first in, and then Gonda, what he saw inside.

Jang wondered himself in awe, the curiosity on him was shared with the scientists too.

The laboratory was well equipped with what looked like the newest models of science machinery, but in small portions. 

Mixing some chemicals inside a round of bottles, were two lady workers talking and analyzing the process overall.

Gonda called out Petra, one of the two workers, to show Jang the work they had done until now.

The costume was still in design, redacted on a 3D screen, more of a hologram in the air.

"Is this it?"
Asked Jang with a curious smile at the hologram pointed out.

"It's still a work in progress, but it will have it's perks"

"What do you mean perks?"

Jang waved in the air once with an unbothered hand and a slight smirk

"It's a way of saying it"


Four days later, when Jang came back from the School, a limousine parked near him.

A black uniformed, tall and wide stance man with designer black glasses and a light purple tie came out of it.

 Introducing himself as the father of Gonda, his name being Leonhi.

They both shook hands, the man thanked Jang with a bright smile all that he has done with Gonda, being friends and everything.

Leonhi took out a contact card, telling Jang that if he needs anything at any hour, he just has to call the number written on it.

 While Jang analyzed the contact number written on the high quality, thin cardboard piece, Leonhi searched for something inside the limousine. 

The moment that he finished checking the card out, Leonhi turned to Jang, with one glass box, that he was holding in his hand.

Jang accepted the glass box that was passed to him by Leonhi. Opening the box there was a thin coin inside it. It had the innitials "Light" carved into it.

While Jang was checking the coin out, testing it's weight, length and what's it made off, which seemed to be made out of some kind of hard metal, but it was really shiny and fine.

 Leonhi told Jang that he still has some assigned work to do, but he is expecting great things from him, the last word said had activated a serious look into his eyes followed with a chuckle and a smile and a pat on Jang's shoulders.

 Leonhi hopped into the limousine, making himself dissapear into the city inside the long, and shining black transporation.

Jang grasped the glass casket from his pocket, firmly and looked at the sky, smiling with his eyes, inhaling in the fresh arrived air from the calm wind. He closed his eyes, telling himself.

"It's official, it has been made official, I can save people like I should now, I could do something with me, I am not useless anymore"

It was 4 in the morning, he was on top of a building, wandering. Everyone was sleeping, but the evil never lacks, you don't know when it will strike.

Suddenly, a few red smoke trails connected themselves with Jang, almost showing themselves to him. He followed the trails, knowing something bad is behind them.

A store was broke into, sharp broken glass was scattered all around the ground. Jang saw two skinny people that were coming out from inside the shop.

One of them told the other boy that it would've made his day if the shop owner would've been there, chuckling his words out.

The one who listened, opened a bag of chips and the other one talked with someone on the phone, a gentle conversation, I think it was his mother.

They saw Jang, their sights had parted, but they didn't even bother to talk to him, which activated Jang, by calling them out.

"M-O, I told you man, I-need-it-by-tomorrow, hear, okay, I will call you later, a fucker is staring at us... what, no, no, you don't have to come, we will take care of it, don't worry (hangs the phone up)"

Jang clenched his fist, until the crease of his skin covered up his whole side-fist.

"Miq (looks at him), let's do this quickly, okay, she called me over"

Miq nodded his head with a innocent look on his face.

The other boy dashed all the way into Jang's face, having a punch already charged, that was ready to come. His eyes widened, he could only see the moment of impact on the middle of his nose with the sharp bones from the boy's knuckles. 

One punch only, that's what it only took Jang, one punch to be one with the ground.

The boy looked down on him and threw him the bags of chips, telling him with a slow voice that Jang needs it more than he does.

When the boy wanted to pass over Jang, leaping over his sleeping body, he gripped the boy's leg firmly, telling him that it's not over while grunting his mouth, with blood flowing out from between his teeth.

"Hey, hey, hey, Halloween boy, what's this about (chuckles and grunts eyes weirdly)"

"Bahu, I think we should just leave him (looks away worried then looks back) maybe the Qowo will come, if they hear (whispers worried) trouble around these places... you know what will (stutters and breaths shakily)"

Bahu used his other leg, that wasn't stuck, to stomp Jang's head with it, while grunting his actions.

After a few stomps, Jang, angrily pulled both of Bahu's legs towards him, making Bahu fall on his back.

Accidentally swallowing his saliva from the fall, Bahu looked up and saw Jang who wanted to elbow his skull, but Miq came in clutch, taking Jang off him and scaredly penetrating Jang's inner rib cage with a broken glass piece from the shop's window, breaking half of it inside him on impact.

Jang fell down, sideways, trying to scoop the remaining part of the glass, grunting his voice and his teeth, but meanwhile, Bahu came up, with rage flowing inside his veins. His face was messed up, full of bad wrinkles from the anger aura all over him.

Jang succeded to take out the remained glass shard, which made a small object cling on the concrete, while Jang was exhaling revealed. 

His celebration didn't last long, that Bahu came from behind him, so he quickly made a wall with his powers, that he placed in front of him, winning himself a few seconds before Bahu would dash. Jang quickly got up, placing himself in a stance. 

It was time for Jang to charge a normal punch towards one of them, but what he didn't know, was that something changed in his energy.

The punch transformed into a mix of light blue energy, which impacted Miq and broke his entire nose with red blood splattering from Jang's fist and Miq's face.

"Y-you good (breaths shakily) M-miq, h-hey!"

Miq woke up with a quick rage inside him and wanted to take Jang's head off, but something interrupted his plans.

"T-the... Qowo!"

Miq and Bahu ran away on sight,after seeing something behind Jang.


"(chuckles faintly) That's right, run, run away!"

"Wait..."

Something happened, he felt a buzz inside his ears and a feeling of the world that will come do an anihilation, the feeling of an apocalypse.

Second after Jang turned around, he saw a group of people all dressed in formal pink suits, but before any word could come out of the boy's mouth out of fear, he found himself drunk in his own shower of blood that he slept on top of.

 Drops of dark-red blood were spilling off Jang's body as he was getting up with a weird ache inside his back.

He could not see well, his costume was all torn apart, four of his fingers were broken, barely standing on his legs, losing his balance, having to support himself with his arms, to not fall back down, Jang didn't know what happened, he never was this confused. The boy only knew one thing, he couldn't let those two get away that easily, so he followed, which he thought was their scent.

Jang glimpsed at his hands and looked at his broken fingers and asked himself

"Why isn't the weird regeneration not working on this one too?"

Walking down the path of endless of constant movement, dragging himself, forcing his legs to walk, while the smell of Iron had covered his sinuses, giving him the feel of constant feeling of being sick and wanting to throw up, he was drenched in that flavour of the Devil.


It was raining, a warm summer rain, but with rain only problems come and he's problem turned his life inside out.

Sitting on top of the roof, with his legs being held for comfort on the edge of the block's roof, raising his saddened look from the ground, looking around the morning city. Wandering into the outside zone, in other words his mind, Jang accidentally saw something interesting, something that got out of his own zone, he saw her friend and a boy talking near a coffe shop.

He could not hear what they were talking, Jang could only think the words while grunting his eyes, focusing on the two perspectives.

The boy: Thanks for the coffe, it was really good... but I wanted to tell you something...(looks down and pats back of his head with his hand)

Soso: No, don't, I have something more important to say (widens eyes)

She raised herself on her tip of her toes, whispering in the boy's ear something interesting

"I love you, let's-be-to-ge-ther (giggles lightly)"

Those words were repeating inside his head, over and over, over and over, over and over. His eyes widened more and more, the moment that he thought that it could be a dream, a nightmare.

Dissapointed in himself and the people who believed in him, Jang looked at his worn out mask, which was being held by both of his hands and took a firm grip on it. Holding it tighter and tighter, his eyes softened while his forehead was reaching for his closed-in fists.

Silent tears were coming out of his eyes while staying in the same position with his body in the same position.

Minutes after, Jang was empty from all the emotional liquid. He sat up from his concrete seat and wanted to head away, somewhere far, alone.

A sharp sound had passed Jang's broken down look, releasing a glimpse of air jet right into his eyes. 

That was the moment Jang knew, it was no  good.

 Then another one followed it, but this time it was directed at Jang

The thin and long meaty spear carved a wound into his rib cage, scratching his bones.

Jang grunted his eyes and teeth, falling back down, sustaining his back on the brick wall of the block


The mutant Dimes slowly but surely approached Jang, one of them crawling and the other one walking towards him. 

He checked his wound, it was slowly starting to turn purple, with brown liquid coming out if it. Jang knew... it was poisoned.

"POISON!?"
Screamed Jang, softening his eyebrows, picking himself up and heading more towards the edge of the block

The monsters slowly approached Jang by climbing on the block, one of them took out a metal cooler from the rooftop, and quickly crawled beside the other Dime, towards Jang.

He tried jumping off the building, it was his only small chance that he had. No more energy left and no more tears left, Jang jumped.

A long iron rod that contained a big and floating flag was Jang's only escape for the moment, but under him there were still 8 meters until he could arrive the ground.

Both of the Dimes jumped high up, with their aim right on top of Jang. The boy quickly released his grip from the iron rod and fell down on the ground.

Seeing that he did it himself, the Dimes stopped themselves with a strong grip of their fingers inside the block's tough brick wall and looked down on him

"Was this a test, In-Su? A test that I have failed miserably?"
Asked Jang himself, with a forced smirk and his eyes red from the consecutive fails of his own life.

One of the Dimes threw the cooler on top of Jang who was out of breath, while bathing in his own blood, making sure that they took him out for good

"Da...ng... it"
Tried Jang to say with his mouth filled in his own blood and a look that seemed almost souless, before the heavy object would fall right on top of him

Minutes after, tens and tens of people looked at Jang's souless body, taking pictures and whispering between themselves.

One mutant Dime came all the way down to check his pulse, it was gone, down to zero. The others couldn't see the Dime mutants, only Jang, who was already gone.

The monster murmured something with the other one and then both of them turned around, leaving behind Jang's empty body.

One night when he went to do some cardio outside, he saw something really bright in the sky coming directly towards him, it was a STAR, big as a planet. In a blink moment, the star crushed him, falling right on him, creating a big crater.
That night, Jang Ho became someone else... or something else.
