A blue colored butterfly flew in front of Jang and when he realized the butterfly, trying to catch it, the butterfly quickly flew in front.  Jang wanted to follow it but it was too fast. Because the boy did not succed in catching it, the background transformed from a black surrounding, to a white paradise.

Jang looked around thinking that all of this has to make sense somehow, but he gave up in thinking about it and tried walking in a direction with his hopes up for finding a way out.

As he headed in a direction, something was holding him in place by his wrists. It was a shackle that held him from his wrists, with the shackels being held in the ground.

"What the..."
Asked Jang himself with a confused look, trying to analyze the chain that was connected to the ground

 Jang tried to make a key with the use of his powers, but the item made with the constellation was a small rod and it didn't even fit well.

 He tried to bite it with his teeth, to hit it to the ground as hard as he could, but nothing. The metal look-alike material was too tough for him.

Sighting once, he sat himself down, then he layed his body down and supported one of his calves on top of the other leg's knee and looked up at nothingness.


The scene changes to somewhere in a forest, outside.

"Creation: Magma wall!"

The magma from inside his palm, has burnt down two trees, totally burning down their core and making them fall down in a quick pace

"Whirlwind Mercur"

Screamed Mikey with his mouth muscles extending, which showcases the burnt part of his face.  The whirlwind was created with the use of the slam between his two palms, which created a wind strong enough to torn apart a big piece of stone set in place.

"Mercur whirlwind, for real, that's such a made up name"
Said Johan dropping himself down with an relaxed exhale, wiping the sweat off his forehead with the use of his wrist.

"IF MAGMA WALL WOULD NOT BE MADE!"
Jokingly replied Mikey with a slight chuckle in his voice

He reached to put his scarf back on his face

"Why are you putting that back, it's hot outside here, I want you to take it off (gives away a slight smirk at him)"

Mikey looked at his scarf with a long look than nodded in way of agreement at Johan's sentece. 

"Didn't your voice got a little bit deeper?"
Asked Mikey with a confused thought in his mind

"My voice? (Grunts voice a few times) I think it's the same, but maybe I will have some luck with the girls, if you are for real"

Mikey started laughing

"What, what's so funny? (chuckles)"

"Nothing (chuckles) nothing, you are just funny that's all"

"What, WHAT IS IT?!"
Jokingly exclaimed Johan, trying to reach for Mikey with a laughing face put on, but Mikey took himself away with a giggle in his voice


The scene flies up to the sky, with a view of the mountains, while it transitions into a semi-crowded street. The noon streets of the city with the title "four months ago" down, under the scene.


A group of people, mostly teenagers, were walking in a direction towards the start of the scene, towards him, towards Yuha-Bong-Cha. The group laughed their sentences off, like a bunch of high-heads, faces full of lies. 

Yuha looked at them with a back-glimpse of his eye, just a quick look, he could read each of them, one by one.

"Aura Suiri, 19 years old, your father went bankrupt after investing in a financial pyramid. 

Kun Veto, 17 years old, stole thousand of expensive perfumes, making right now a fortune out of sales.

Tan Ruto, 18 years old, bragging about having this that, that, while your hands never met a day of work in their life, your father won an reality show and now you can afford whatever you want. 

"It's annoying, so annoying, just be like me (slightly laughs in silence), simple, simple and (scratches his neck aggresively) normal, just like me. Why everyone has to be so complicated (grunts teeth with the focus on the mouth muscle).

Steps away from Yuha to pass the group of ending year- highschoolers, one girl from the group saw Yuha look at one of his friends with an angered and panicked look.

"(icky voice in the back of her throat, with a sprinkle of fake fear and whispers to her own group, while looking at Yuha) Veto, look at that guy, he's looking at you with such a cold look

"You think he's a virgin (chuckles arrogantly)"
Replied Veto, trying to be as mean as possible with a personal argument

"Let's find out (widens eyes with excitement)"
Said another boy from the group

"Hey you, the loner, my girlfriend here asked a question!"

Yuha ignored him, he just kept walking in his black school uniform, and his school bag on one of his shoulders, his back was bent a little bit, his hands inside his pockets, while looking at his shadow that was carved inside the ground, following him like a neverfound friend, his only trustworthy peep.

"Maybe he's just deaf (asked one of the boys confused)

"He's giving me the creeps guys, let's go"
The boy with the red t-shirt hated that he was being ignored, he wanted to kick his legs, to make Yuha fall.
Yuha fell in the trap and he fell, messing himself up with dust from the dirt ground, and ripping his sleeve from his uniform just a hunch.

The whole group looked at him, only the boys were laughing, laughing with might.

"Gagan, you got him good, look at him  (points at him while holding his stomach with the other hand)"
Yuha sat up , like nothing happened, brooming the dust, grass fibers and dirt off him, he took his black school bag and kept going on his path.

Grunting his mouth muscles, Yuha sat up and continued his path, like nothing has happened

"Did this dude just fully ignore me?!"

"I would not take the disrespect if I were you, Gagan. Just saying (chuckles and scoffs)"

The boy pushed him from behind, making Yuha lose all the control over his legs. Four of his teeth was broken, his chin was bruised and he was bleeding from his right cheek, but that wasn't all. The boy continued his moment, kicking Yuha continuously in his ribs 

Suddenly, a kick to the head ended Yuha's conscious. He fainted.

"Yes, finally. A new body"
Whispered a voice inside his head that was getting closer and closer.

For Yuha, it was just a moment of silence, just like a faraway dream, an endless one.

Inside his dream, a thin, long and deformed dark red hand came out of the dark, the dark inside his head, wanting to hold his hand with it's long nails on top of his fingers.

"Your end. (Laughs crazily) Is near, but I can make it count"
Continued the whisper inside the darkness, the body of the hand.

Inside the dream, with his bruises, his body tinted with blood and his head the most damaged one, with a souless look in his eyes and his mouth drooling with constant saliva, Yuha peeked slowly at the long and extended hand from the darkness, and seconds later of no hesitation, after thinking about what the hidden body said "I can make it count", without even thinking about it, Yuha accepted the request.


A hand that was born from inside his back, had lifted Yuha up from the ground, a meaty and deformed hand.

His eyes red and scary, filled with nothingness, just a thirst for rage

 Two curved and thin horns were coming out of his forehead, he smiled, but not that kind of smile, the smile of lust. His skin got darker and darker, going towards a black and white combination.

With a soft groan, Yuha took one of the boys by it's t-shirt, taking him in closer, grasping his wrist with his right palm. One flick of his weak arm and the boy's wrist snapped in two with a loud breaking sound of the fragile bone, making the boy scream in pain, trying to get himself out of the situation, but that was if Yuha would let him. 

For the other one, he kicked his shoe with a quick slide of his knees. On the fall, the boy's skull broke in the part of impact with a spillage of blood covering the ground.

The other girls had screamed and ran away, panick in their voices, running away with a fast hurried pace.

Seconds after, Yuha came back, panicked and sick from what he saw in front of him, tears were close to coming out, but an uncontrolled shaped door spawned itself from inside a building's wall, with flesh covering the outsides of it.


"What is that?"
Asked Yuha, holding his mouth while trying not to throw up with fear inside his eyes.

"Run, before they catch us and send you to Qowo"
Whispered the voice inside his head again, this time with a quicker pace in it's voice.

"Wha-, what are... you?"
Asked Yuha looking, panicked as he was, with tears coming from inside his eyes and loud interrupted paces of breathing.

"Stealth!"
Screamed the voice from inside his head

"Huh-?"
Asked Yuha as his whole body dashed inside the flesh covered door, with a dark red unkown interior.

The flesh covered door quickly closed itself after Yuha's entrance, just like nothing was there until now.

The scene changes to Jang, still being kept under shackles, but he was lying down on the unknown floor, bored.

Suddenly, he hears a gentle voice, and the whole room turns to a black backround. A gentle voice of a voice covered his thoughts, quickly covering all of his attention. 

"Hero..."

Jang domesticided his reactions, his eyebrows softened... he felt like the voice was close to him.

"If you would have one wish, what would that be?"

She said those words slowly, calming Jang, closely reducing him to a sleep state.

A long deformed and skinny red arm with long and sharp nails had come from the darkness, extending towards Jang.

"I can make you anything you want"

Jang slowly approached the arm, his eyes were empty, stained-glass type of judgemental fear, a fear of losing everyone, the fear of being alone"

Jang was one fingerprint close to put his hand into the palm of it, but he backed off in the last second, with a quick zone-out of his eyes and a regain of consciousness

"I would let everyone down if I do that"
Said Jang, looking at where he thought that the head of the body would be.

The hand retreated into the darkness, slowly dissparearing into the blackness of the situation, while the background had transformed into a white universe.

"You sure are something (giggles)
Jang turned around quickly, but this time, it was a normal girl, which laughed on every reaction that came from him. Jang asked her where he was, while raising his hand being locked into the shackle.

"You are in the world between death and living, Opodium, the hills of Normado"

Suddenly, the blank space started to become a long and summery hill, filled with grass and flowers, with a small opened room on top of the close to flat, hill.

With a slight gentle tap from her side, the shackle from his hand unlocked itself, falling down on the fresh grass with a slight thud.

As they walked towards the open room on the hill, with the girl leading the way, he asked the the girl what was that from before

"Some of them call it the "hand" but I call it the "Haunt", he searches for prayer desperately, every single second of every single day. Hauting the weak ones. No one knows where did it come from or what is it's purpose, but I sure know that it has something to do with you, Jang Ho"

"H-How do you know my name? (grunts eyes and looks at her"

"Honey (chuckles) I do this for a living (slowly searches her finger along half of Jang's face)"


They arrived at a plain zone, the top of the hill to be more specific with constant healthy grass on the ground. Tens of meters away, there was an open room, with three walls  had the color light-brown, in the interior there was a game station with two game consoles, a mini-fridge, a fluffy white carpet and a long couch, for the rest, the background of the walls were decorated with filled shelves of books.

While inspecting the room, Jang asked her with curiosity if she lives there.

"This is my room, and this here, is your trial"

"My trail... so back then (grunts eyes and looks down at his hand, which slowly becomes a fist) I really died"
Said Jang with an upset look on his face.

"Now now, don't be so upset over nothing, you still have another chance"

"Do I really?"
Asked Jang with an hype and shock in his voice, as his eyebrows raised all the way up to the sky.

She dragged on a piece of white rope, which revealed shelves on shelves of with thousands of casettes, organized vertically with different names on it. Boung Ote, Baho Dang, Teh Amon. Names on names on names.

"Your first trail will be to win against (points towards her happily and with a proud look on her face), but (sharpens eyes and looks intensely at Jang) if you do not win, your soul will be trapped inside a casette for ever and ever, and your story will end here"

"What if I win?"
Asked Jang with a deep and slow voice


"I will release every single soul from the casettes and I will revive your body to it's full healed state"


She opened her eyes, while the skin from her mouth quickly melted down into a scar that turned in a bigger mouth with spikey teeth. The girl threw the whole popsicle inside, swallowing it. Quickly after it transformed back into her normal mouth, the mouth of a normal human being.


She reached grunting her small eyebrows, while throwing Jang a cold soda can from her mini fridge.

"I am Demi, but my virtual friends call me D"

"I'm J-"

"I already told your name, myself"

"Forgot about that, my bad"


She sat down near him, on top of her plushie teddy bear pillow, drinking the whole bottle in one sip then taking the controller in her hand and exclaiming

"No more fooling around, your trial begins now, Jang Ho!"
Jang put his hand on the controller too, putting it into a playable stance, focusing everything into the screen in front of them.

The game had started

Jang Ho always helped everyone in need, even if he was wasting his time, being late to classes or just helping an old lady cross the street.
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.
