My name is Chon-Yeol, and my entire life has been nothing but an endless flight from the shadows.
I never knew the true reason why we were hunted like wild beasts. My parents knew. They bore that knowledge like a heavy cross, shielding me from the truth, yet in doing so, they left me blind to the danger.
The hunt ceased abruptly, but the silence that followed was no mercy from the heavens. It was the calm before the storm. My father took a stand to buy us time. In that final clash, his body vanished without a trace, dissolving into a vortex of techniques surpassing human understanding. I couldn't even find his remains to commit them to the earth. In my naivety, I hoped his sacrifice marked the end of our captivity.
How wrong I was.
Returning to our last sanctuary, I stepped not into a home, but into hell itself.
My mother... They didn't just take her life. It was a display of monstrous, senseless cruelty—a message carved into flesh.
I stood there in a pool of blood and felt nothing. The tears dried before they could even be born. Was I such a heartless creature that I could show no emotion before the mangled body of the one who gave me life? Or perhaps the pain was so great that it burned my soul to ash?
In that moment, the naive youth Chon-Yeol, who once believed in justice and light, died.
My parents were my world. You took them from me. For that, I will burn your world to the ground. I will not stop until I destroy everything you hold dear, until the very sky crashes down upon your heads.
I swear it.
