100 years later

The world had not yet healed from the scars left by Nightmare.

In a poor, forgotten village, a boy with sharp teeth and glowing red eyes walked the streets—barefoot, bruised, and branded as cursed. His name was Zyroth.

The villagers whispered behind his back.

"That child is misfortune itself…"

"He came from the fallen church."

"Don't look into his eyes—or bad luck follows."

Zyroth didn't care. He had no time for their fear.

He wasn't just a boy. He was the leader of eight orphaned children, all survivors of the tragic event 100 years ago—when a priest tried to summon a god and instead unleashed Nightmare, nearly wiping out their entire home. 5 years later The grown-ups in the church were all sacrificed. Only the children remained.

Since then, Zyroth lived in the mud, stealing food, fighting bullies, and keeping the others alive.

In the middle of the village…

Hena: "Zyroth! Again?! Why do you always get into trouble, you dumbass?"

Zyroth: "Tch—I'm not the one who started it. Hey, Nell, grab your sister, will you? She's always running her mouth."

Nell: "Calm down, both of you. You two fight more than stray dogs."

Zyroth: "She started it—again."

Hena: "Then quit causing problems, dumbass!"

Zyroth: "You wanna fight, stalker?!"

Before fists could fly, Kenny quietly stepped in and pulled Zyroth back. At the same time, Nell grabbed Hena by the collar, sighing.

One: "Honestly, Zyroth, you're clueless. Am I the only one smart enough not to fight girls?"

Zyroth: "One, shut your mouth—your name sounds like a dumbass."

One: "Wanna go?!"

Selma (shouting): "Can everyone SHUT THE HELL UP?! I'm starving, and all you idiots do is argue!"

Teana: "Let them fight. They're useless anyway."

Buma: "Yeah, Zyroth's a loser who can't clean up his own messes."

Zyroth: "Shut your fat ass up!"
