One day, when Robert was on his way home,
"Today I will surprise my sister! She will be so happy to see this gift," he thought to himself while holding the gift in his bag.
He was wearing normal punchkin trousers when he suddenly noticed someone pushing him hard. Robert fell to the ground.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Robert shouted in anger.
"K-K-Karlog," he whispered to himself in terror.
Karlog was the bully.
"Robert, the crybaby, where are you going?" Karlog called out.
Robert was shivering in terror.
"Karlog, please leave me. I'm in a hurry."
"Ha-ha! Afraid?" Karlog taunted.
Seeing Robert in fear, Karlog smiled.
"Yes, you can go, but first you have to do something for us — right now."
Robert's eyes were filled with tears. His voice trembled, and he looked like he would cry any second.
"Right now? But I have to go to town — today is my sister's birthday."
Karlog and his gang started laughing.
"Oh, your unwanted sister's birthday, I see. But I will force you — by hook or by crook."
"After all," he smiled, "Robert's bag... So, this is your sister's gift? A doll? Just plastic," Karlog mocked.
Then he threw it toward the forest.
Karlog grabbed Robert's hair.
"Listen carefully. Go and bring a rose with black petals and a red stem, otherwise I will crush you. And yes, don't forget to bring your own bag," Karlog ordered.
"Let's go, guys. Let him do his work," Karlog said.
Then they went back.
Robert was filled with tension.
"No, no, no, this all has to happen on Rika's birthday. Kal will be angry at me. I need to find it before sunset," Robert thought to himself.
Scene cut to Karlog's gang:
"Robert is gone. He will suffer for disrespecting me," Karlog declared.
"But how could he find a bunch of roses in one hour? Even one rose is too much," one of his friends murmured.
Karlog slapped him.
"Are you an idiot? Black roses don't exist! Even if he searched his whole life, he'd find nothing."
At that moment, Kal (Robert's best friend) was quietly listening from behind a tree.
"So, this is what you've done? I warned you — if you ever hurt Robert, I wouldn't stay silent!" Kal said firmly, clenching his fist.
Everyone began shouting,
"Kal, we can explain! Please, don't be upset!"
Five minutes later...
Kal confronted each of them.
He touched his locket and said softly,
"Today, my locket feels lighter... That's why I left you all."
Then he held Karlog by the shoulder and asked,
"Where is Robert?"
The scene shifts to Robert,
who was searching through his bag.
"Where is it? I can't find the rose... but Rika's gift is very important," he murmured.
As he ran, he saw a light coming from a cave.
"It's there, something," Robert thought.
Then he entered the cave.
It was a huge cave, mesmerizing — with shining crystal walls and a small lake of clear, glowing water connected to a narrow path.
At the center of the structure was a stone platform, on which the same black rose was placed.
Robert ran toward it.
"I found it," he thought excitedly as he rushed forward.
Suddenly, a stone bridge emerged from the lake.
"This universe wants this... I think the universe wants me to take it."
He reached for it and touched it to pick it up.
But his body froze. He couldn't move, and his body was overwhelmed with unbearable pain.
Suddenly, Kal appeared from nowhere and pushed him toward the pond.
But in the process, Kal slipped and fell into the pond.
The black rose disappeared.
The scene shifted.
The village, once filled with noise, was now completely silent.
Suddenly, a beast entered.
"Oh, so this is my next target," the beast declared.
Scene shifts back to Robert,
who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Robert's vision slowly returned.
"Where… am I?"
"Oh… that cave."
Then he saw Kal lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Kal, wake up! Wake up! What has happened to you?" he shouted.
Suddenly, a roaring sound came.
Robert quickly turned around.
At that moment, a black flash of lightning struck his village, producing a loud roaring sound.
Seeing this, Robert's eyes widened.
"Oh no… Mom, Rika!" he cried and rushed toward them.
He ran as fast as he could, but when he entered the village, he collapsed on the ground.
"What the heck… how did I slip?" he thought.
Then he noticed the ground was covered with blood and some kind of green substance.
"Ahh!" he exclaimed in fear.
He ran as fast as he could.
The entire village was completely destroyed.
The ground and walls were stained with red and a strange green substance in several places.
There were many motionless bodies lying around.
Robert's eyes widened in shock — his legs trembled, making it difficult to move.
He slipped and fell to the ground.
At that moment, he found himself in front of his house.
He quickly stood up and opened the door... and saw something horrifying.
His house was in complete disarray.
The walls were scratched, and red stains trailed toward the living room.
There, he saw a strange creature — with the head of a horse and the body of a human — kneeling beside his mother's still form.
Its large claw, stained in red, was reaching toward her lifeless body (without a head).
His eyes filled with tears at the terrifying scene.
He stepped backward, holding his mouth tightly to avoid making any noise, but unfortunately, he slipped, causing a loud crack on the floor.
The creature turned around and noticed Robert.
It started moving toward him.
Robert tried to escape, but it was too late.
The creature grabbed his arm.
He struggled to break free, but it was easy.
Then he realized, "My hand... something's wrong with my hand!"
His hand was torn apart.
Hearing his scream, a group of other creatures turned and noticed him.
One of them leapt toward Robert and knocked him down, pressing onto his stomach.
Then all the other creatures turned and surrounded him, eating him alive.
They were tearing Robert apart as if he were just a toy to them.
Robert was enduring all the pain, screaming, "Let me live, please!" and begging for mercy.
But it was useless.
Suddenly, his voice stopped.
They left him, as there was nothing left of his body — only bones remained.
Thunder roared above, as if the sky itself was declaring that this was just the beginning.
Then, without warning, a white flash of lightning struck Robert's skeletal frame.
At once, his body began regenerating — from muscles to organs to skin —
everything was restored, as if nothing had ever happened to him.
Then his body started glowing.
Its glow was a symbol of hope for the living and misery for the evil.
It was so pure that each of the monsters burned just by its glow.
Scene shifted.
Robert opened his eyes as his vision cleared.
"Where am I?" he asked himself.
He found himself in a plain field.
"Wasn't it the village, monsters, and bodies… no, that was all a nightmare," he thought.
Then he noticed his hand was covered in green liquid.
"What the hell is this?" he rubbed his hand on the ground to remove it.
He stood up and realized he was wearing a warrior's suit with armor plating.
"How the hell did I get this on? Wait a minute...
Where is Kal? I need to rescue him."
At that moment—
"A Vurr!!" Something roared.
Hearing it, Robert rushed toward the sound and saw...
A warrior wearing armor of ancient Roman design — armored pants, helmet, and chestplate — holding a horse's head covered with the same green liquid.
"Who is he?" Robert thought to himself.
Hiding in the bushes, Robert realized that the warrior was Kal himself.
He stood up from the bushes.
"Kal, why did you kill a... horse?"
Seeing Robert, Kal's face brightened.
"Robert! You're alive. I'm just happy," he exclaimed.
"And no, it's not a horse's head. It's the skull of a horse demon who attacked me," he declared.
Hearing this, Robert fell to his knees.
The scenes from last night flashed in his mind.
He realized it was all true.
He started crying.
"Robert, Robert, don't cry. Are you a baby or what?"
Robert rubbed his eyes, clenching his fists.
"Kal, could you control your tears after your mother's death?" Robert shouted.
At that moment, Kal's expression changed.
"Sorry, Kal. I didn't mean that — I didn't want to hurt you," Robert apologized.
Kal turned away.
"OK, it's OK. Continue your story.
My mother was killed by the same kind of monster in front of me, and I couldn't do anything," he said.
Kal wiped Robert's tears.
"Sorry. I was unaware of your m... mother's fate. But it wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. It's just fate — our life. That doesn't change," Kal said with a smile.
"But how could we survive in this place — we don't even know what it is," Robert countered.
Kal crossed his arms.
"Look, I've found some information about those creatures. They are categorized into groups: demon, devil, and king.
There are 200 demon races, 15 devil races, and 5 kings."
Hearing this, Robert stared at Kal in shock.
"How do you know all that?" Robert asked, brow furrowed.
"Because I asked this piece of shit," Kal replied, holding the horse demon's skull.
"Damn, that thing can talk?" Robert exclaimed. "And your long... you would hold it? Made me believe it. Just looking at it made me sick!"
Kal then threw it away to the other side.
"Yes, you are right. It was sick," Kal said with a sigh.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he noticed a green spot on Robert's armor.
"So, you also killed one," Kal continued.
"What do you mean, Kal?" Robert asked in confusion.
"You haven't noticed yet? The green liquid is demon's blood — in reality."
"That means you have already killed one," Kal declared.
"I don't know... last night, I was surrounded by those... demons. I could feel each and everything — the pressure, the tearing feeling, like something was pulling at my body... Ahh!!" he screamed.
Kal urged him to control himself.
"Don't cry. It could be that we were teleported to a new world or dimension. The rose may have brought us here."
Robert's voice trembled as he was traumatized.
"Yes! Yes! It could be that. Maybe those were demons and that's why our village disappeared. But how could we become normal again and return to our home?"
Kal's expression changed.
"Are you serious? What do you mean by 'normal'? We are still human."
"Sorry, Kal, I am just in shock.
That's why I am saying this nonsense.
But how could we return to our home?" Robert asked him.
Kal crossed his hand, stepping on a rock (for style).
"By defeating the demon king."
"What! Are you serious? He is a king. He could crush us into pieces," Robert exclaimed.
"Sorry, I'm just joking. But we can find the same rose to return," Kal replied.
"Yes, Kal, you are a genius! We can find the black rose from the cave where it all started, at the first place."
"But we should keep it a secret," Kal declared.
"Oh Kal, I will."
They went to the same cave they saw before.
But when they entered, the crystal and the rose were destroyed.
It collapsed on the ground, and the rose was missing.
Robert fell on his knees, "We're doomed. Without the rose, we would not be able to return damnit," he cried.
"Don't cry, Robert. We would find it again. We returned one day, so we must return one more time!" Kal said, trying to encourage himself.
Suddenly, a loud voice!!! "Someone shouted, 'Help!!!'"
A lady's voice.
In a hurry, they moved toward her.
.When They reached there they saw a bunch of cloths and women bikini.
Seeing that, Kal started blushing.
At that moment,
A lady jumped from a tree branch.
Seeing her, Kal and Robert's nose started bleeding, as he was totally naked and his body parts (private ones) were covered with demon blood
Kal and Robert collapsed on the ground the next second.
"Hm, they are perverts, damn," the unknown woman said.
Scene cut to Robert, with his mother, who finds himself...
"Robert, how are you?" his mother asked.
"I am fine, Mom," he replied.
"Oh," his mother replied.
She was becoming transparent suddenly.
"Be fine, Robert," she said as he vanished.
"Mom, Mom, don't leave me, Mom!"
He screamed.
