The seal shattered.
The mind fell.
Chaos was no longer energy…
but identity.
The First Hell collapses behind him.
The black rift expands.
Kim's body rises amid the whirlwind.
His eyes are open… but no consciousness remains.
The system struggles to stabilize:
Warning: Complete Loss of Control
Random layer transitions due to energy overflow
Space twists.
Colors are drained.
Then—
The Fall
Second Hell: Valley of Wailing
An endless expanse of land.
A dead gray sky.
But what fills the space most…
is sound.
Screams.
Thousands.
Millions.
Not only heard—
but felt.
The sound turns into transparent chains that pierce bodies.
Wrap around necks.
Enter ears.
Tear minds apart.
If someone falters…
they turn into a wave of sound.
They melt.
Become an eternal scream.
Kim falls into the middle of the valley.
His body slams into the ground.
The screams surge toward him immediately.
The sonic chains pierce his body.
But—
no scream escapes him.
His eyes are cold.
Then—
a smile.
Not a human smile.
But one who has just enjoyed chaos.
Madness begins to respond.
The sound tries to break his mind.
But his mind…
is gone.
Zarveth broke the restraint.
And now nothing protects balance.
The screams enter his head.
Instead of melting…
they distort.
They transform.
His left eye ignites.
A Skill Emerges Unannounced:
Wail Devour
Any sound he touches…
is erased.
It does not become energy.
It is not redirected.
It is nullified.
The valley trembles.
For the first time…
the sound disappears in part of the area.
Desire Transformed
Kim slowly rises.
The surrounding screams begin to vanish as he approaches.
The souls suspended by chains watch him.
Some whisper:
"Save us…"
His eye moves toward them.
A moment.
Silence.
Then he whispers:
"Save…?"
A low laugh.
"No."
He extends his hand.
The sonic chains explode.
The souls do not free…
they disintegrate.
Erased.
The valley shakes violently.
Guarding entities appear—
faceless creatures, their bodies made of sonic vibrations.
Each represents thousands of screams.
Kim does not move.
He only—
thinks.
"Destroy."
The word becomes reality.
An invisible chaos wave spreads.
The creatures vanish.
Not killed.
Deleted from the definition of "sound."
The valley loses balance.
Collapse of the Hell of Pain
With every step he takes—
an entire zone of screams falls silent.
Chains drop.
The ground cracks.
The souls that were mentally melting…
now evaporate entirely.
A deep voice trembles through the valley:
"Stop."
The Second Hell's guardian appears.
A massive entity with no mouth.
Only enormous ears.
Its voice shakes existence:
"You do not belong in this pain."
Kim looks at it.
No hatred.
No anger.
Only emptiness.
"I'm looking for a king."
The guardian replies:
"Your path is not here."
Kim tilts his head.
"Then… I will erase the path."
He extends his hand.
True chaos activates without limits.
Not an explosion—
but total distortion.
The law of "auditory pain" collapses.
The hell-specific feature malfunctions.
Those who weaken mentally no longer melt…
nothing melts.
The entire valley begins to decay.
The guardian shouts:
"If you destroy me… your name will echo across all layers!"
Kim responds with terrifying calm:
"That is the goal."
He presses.
The valley breaks.
The sound is cut.
Complete silence for the first time since the creation of this dimension.
The Second Hell…
collapses.
Amid the silence.
Kim stands.
The air is soundless.
No screams.
No pain.
The system appears with difficulty:
Primary Objective Changed
Searching for Father: Neglected
New Objective: Destroy the path until arrival
His eyes rise downward.
Toward the depths.
Where the Seventh Layer lies.
He whispers slowly:
"I will not search for you."
"I will burn the path… until you are forced out."
A cold smile.
"And I will destroy everything… until I reach you."
