Once upon a time, there was a boy named Robert, forever burdened by his tears. Weaker than his peers, he became the target of relentless bullying. Yet in every dark moment, his best friend Kal stood by him—a steadfast beacon amid the cruelty.
One day, when he was on the way home, a boy named Karlog and his gang stopped him and said,
"Robert, the crybaby, where are you going?"
Robert replied, "K-K-Karlog, I'm going home."
Karlog asked, "Can you do something for me, right now?"
Robert, too scared, replied, "Right now? No, I have to go home because it's my sister's birthday."
Karlog said, "Oh!! Your sister's birthday. I see… but still, do my work!!!"
Then he threw Robert's bag into the forest and said,
"Go and bring a black rose with a red stem. Also, bring your bag from there."
Then he went back to his home.
Karlog said to his friend, "Hehehe… Robert is finished! He will never return. He can't find that flower."
Sonil, his friend, asked, "But how?"
Karlog replied, "You fool! Black roses are not found in this region."
But Kal had heard everything. Kal punished Karlog and his gang swiftly, then asked,
"Where is Robert!?"
Scene shifts to Robert, who was searching for the black rose. Suddenly, he saw light coming from a cave. Curious, he entered the cave. There, he saw the same black rose Karlog had asked for.
Robert touched it.
Suddenly, his body started glowing, and he screamed in pain.
Then Kal appeared and pushed him toward a pond (inside the cave, leading outside), and he also fell in.
The black rose disappeared.
When Robert awoke, he saw Kal lying on the ground. He tried to wake him, but suddenly, a black flash struck the village and destroyed everything.
He rushed back and saw the ground covered in blood and a strange green liquid. He ran to his house and saw a creature with a horse's head, a human body, and a lion's claws. It was naked.
It was eating his mother's body—without a head.
He was shocked and cried in sorrow. But the monster noticed him.
He tried to run, but the monster grabbed him and tore off his hand.
He tried to run and scream, but a group of monsters captured him and began tearing him apart.
He cried in pain and begged for mercy.
But it was useless. They left nothing but a skeleton.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck Robert's skeleton.
Now, his body was fully regenerated.
His aura was so pure that all the monsters burned from it.
Then Robert opened his eyes and saw that the entire village had vanished. There was no trace of life—no blood, no bodies.
Suddenly, he noticed his hand was covered in that same green liquid.
He was covered in armor, spotted with the green substance.
Then he remembered Kal and rushed toward him.
Suddenly, he heard someone scream.
He saw a warrior.
He was holding a horse's head, covered in green blood. Robert looked carefully and realized the warrior was Kal.
He asked, "Why did you kill a horse?"
Kal replied, "No, it's not a horse's head. It's the skull of a horse demon who attacked me."
Robert realized everything from the night before wasn't a dream.
He started crying.
Kal said, "Stop crying! Are you a baby? And why are you crying?"
Robert replied, "My mother was killed by the same kind of monster… in front of me."
Kal said, "Sorry, Robert. I didn't know about your mother. But I found out something about these monsters.
There are 220 types of monsters. They are classified into categories: demons, devils, kings…"
Kal asked, "How did you kill one?"
Robert: "What?"
Kal: "Yes. This green substance is demon blood. That means you've already killed one."
Robert: "I don't know how it happened. Last night, I was surrounded by demons. Then I blinked… and it was morning. No demons, no village, no blood… everything vanished."
Kal said, "It could be that we were teleported to a new world or dimension. That rose… it teleported us."
Robert, in a traumatized voice, replied:
"Yes… yes, that could be it. But… why are there monsters everywhere? Where is our village? Can we become normal again and return?"
Kal: "What do you mean by 'normal'? We're still human."
Robert: "Sorry, I'm too shocked. That's why I'm saying nonsense. But how could we return home?"
Kal: "By defeating the Demon King. He's the reason for all this. And since he's a king, he might have some sort of technology. Or maybe we can find the black rose again and return."
Robert: "Kal, you're a genius. We can find the black rose where we first saw it."
Kal nodded, "But we need to keep it a secret—for our world's safety."
Robert: "Okay, Kal. I'll keep it secret."
Then Robert and Kal went to the cave—but there was nothing. The flower had vanished.
Robert sighed, "Now we're doomed…"
Kal said, "Don't cry, Robert. We'll find it one day. But for now, we should search the cave."
Suddenly, they heard a woman's scream.
They rushed toward it, but all they found were some clothes and a woman's bikini—covered in demon blood.
Suddenly, a naked girl jumped in front of them with a bloodied sword.
Seeing her, Robert and Kal fainted.
When they woke up, a girl in beautiful armor was sitting on a rock.
Robert asked, "Who are you? And why were you naked?"
The girl replied, "Why should I tell you? I don't even know who I am!"
"But I can tell that a demon attacked me. I killed it… but during the fight, my clothes were torn off."
Kal: "I have to admit… you're a beauty—beauty with brains and power."
The girl replied, "Okay, thanks, you pervert!" Then she punched Kal so hard he fainted again.
Robert asked, "Can you at least tell me your name, please?"
The girl replied, "Okay. You're more polite than this pervert. I'm Liza Early. But you can call me Liza. Or Lisa."
"Now I have some questions for you, if you don't mind?"
Robert replied, "Okay, ask me."
Liza: "Why were you two traveling through that cave?"
Robert: "Why are you so mad? It's just a cave, right?"
Liza: "No! It's a dungeon."
Robert: "What? What's a dungeon?"
Liza: "Dungeons are places where demons live—or where cursed tools are hidden."
Hearing this, Robert felt very lonely.
He said, "I wish this never happened. I don't even know what happened to me."
He told her everything.
Liza said, "If you want to know the truth, you need to learn more about demons and armor."
Robert replied, "Yes, I want that. And I'll prove it—fight me."
Kal: "Okay, I will!"
Kal began attacking. He punched, ducked, and kicked. Then he struck her chest so hard her armor caved in.
She flinched and caught his hand. "Okay! You're a man of power. But I'll still win."
Then she stripped off the broken armor and kept fighting—nearly naked.
Seeing that, Kal lost focus and fainted again.
Liza kicked him so hard he went flying.
Liza: "Again, you lose, kid. Now, Robert, your turn."
Robert: "Wait a minute! How do you know my name?!"
Liza didn't wait. She kicked Robert in the stomach.
Robert grabbed her leg and tried to kick back.
"Even if it doesn't work?" he asked.
"I'm a girl, you idiot!" she replied, then punched him in the face.
Robert's vision blurred.
When he woke up, he was holding someone's insides. Demon organs were scattered around.
He let go and vomited.
Kal: "Robert! How did you get this strong? You just killed fifteen light demons!"
Robert: "I don't know… I don't remember anything. I'm just a crybaby…"
A demon appeared—pale white, with bones showing. It looked like it hadn't eaten in years.
Robert punched its face. It exploded like a firecracker.
Robert: "W-What just happened?! How the hell did I do that?"
Kal: "Robert, calm down. Relax."
But Robert was too shocked. He cried and screamed.
Kal then revealed a secret:
"When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a grave under a banyan tree. I was covered in armor. A giant horse monster attacked me. But somehow, I killed it in a single punch.
That's when I realized the rose gave me some kind of power. That's why I've been surviving."
Robert's eyes glowed. He had a new reason to live.
Robert: "I'm a hero! I'm a superman! That means I can defeat anyone!"
Liza suddenly screamed,
"No! You're not just strong. You're as strong as an Enomy!"
Kal: "What's an Enomy?"
