Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 1: The One Who Suffers from Pain
Intro:
The screen flickers like a dying flame, shadows stretching across a hollow world. The wind howls, carrying whispers of voices that shouldn't exist. Kanoji awakens, drenched in sweat, his chest tight as if the air itself resists him. Around him, the game world is fractured—a twisted landscape of burning ruins, broken buildings, and green fields drenched in blood-red fog.
He tries to stand, but his legs refuse him. Pain shoots through every fiber of his body. Memories of past battles, the faces of friends long gone, and echoes of laughter now replaced by screams all merge into one suffocating nightmare.
The Nightmare Begins:
Kanoji falls. Not once, not twice, but endlessly. From impossible heights, into jagged rocks, onto swords that pierce flesh in slow motion. Each fall is more painful than the last, each strike leaving him gasping. He wakes for a second, only to find himself in water, drowning, hands clawing at air, lungs burning, yet never surfacing.
Then come the monsters. They have no heads, only voids where screams should live. Their mouths open inside their chests, repeating his failures, mocking his pain. A small child appears among them, smiling innocently.
"Let's play a game," the child whispers.
The words are simple, but the tone carries doom. Kanoji's chest tightens, and the world burns around him. Flames lick the sky, bones crack in distant screams, and the scent of blood and ash fills the air. He turns, and for a moment, he sees his family, friends—faces he trusted—but their eyes are hollow.
"You're nothing. You should die," they say in unison.
His heart pounds, screams echoing in his skull. The pain is endless, and yet he cannot stop. He cannot even cry.
The Haunting:
As he wanders, broken and alone, a strange calm spreads over the world. A green field appears, tranquil at first, but beneath the serene surface, robots move silently, AI overseers watching, evaluating. The world he knew is gone, replaced by cold logic and mechanical cruelty. Even the air feels programmed, every sound calculated to pierce his soul.
Then the whispers begin again, written not in words but in blood that seeps across the ground:
Kanoji… How are you?
The devil comes to God. Level: Infinite.
You are going to become a devil soon.
Pain. Despair. Isolation. The game world seems to fold in on itself, a mirror to his mind, showing him every failure, every wound, every loss, in endless repetition. And still, through all of this, a single thought pierces the chaos: he must survive… for them… even if it means losing himself entirely.
Outro:
The screen goes dark. Silence. But somewhere in the shadows, a voice whispers, faint but certain:
"Kanoji… are you ready?"
The wind carries one final warning:
The experiment is far from over. The game has only begun.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 2: Win or Lose
Intro
The screen shivers, shadows stretching like black smoke over a world that should not exist. Kanoji's body is broken, his mind fractured, yet he rises, gasping, each breath a battle. The landscape is a torment of jagged ruins, shattered buildings, and fields soaked in crimson mist. Flames flicker, devouring the horizon, while the air hums with voices that mock his survival.
Pain radiates from every fiber of his being. Memories of battles, of friends, of family—faces he trusted, now distorted, twisted, grotesque—flash in his mind. He tries to move forward, but invisible hands drag him back into the agony, over and over.
The Cruelty of Those He Loved
Suddenly, figures emerge from the shadows. They are familiar—friends, siblings, his family. Their eyes once filled with warmth now burn with malice. Before Kanoji can react, they strike.
Knives pierce flesh. Bombs shatter bone. Limbs are torn, hearts ripped from chests. Screams reverberate through his skull as his body is mutilated in ways the human mind should not comprehend. Half his body is split apart, yet somehow, he remains conscious, writhing in unbearable agony. Blood and fire mingle, the scent of death thick in the air.
And then, without warning, the world collapses beneath him. He plunges into freezing water, waves crashing over him, lungs screaming for air. Darkness presses in, yet even in drowning, he feels the weight of their betrayal.
The Classroom
When the cold lifts, Kanoji finds himself in an empty classroom. Sunlight filters weakly through cracked windows. The air is still, deceptively calm. A red message floats in front of him:
Msg: Your Potential becomes your death
A shadow moves behind him. Gi Yun, his friend, steps forward. His eyes are grave, but his voice is calm.
"What happened, brother? What are you thinking?"
Kanoji swallows, his throat tight. Outwardly, he says nothing, but his mind races: Did I survive? Am I back in the real world? Or is this another layer of torment?
The silence stretches. Every corner of the classroom seems to pulse with expectation, the very walls watching, waiting.
The New Threat
Before Kanoji can gather his thoughts, the door creaks open again. A figure steps in, tall and imposing. Cold eyes survey him, a faint smile tugging at the edge of their lips.
"Jin Lee," Gi Yun whispers, almost as if warning himself.
Kanoji's heart pounds. The air shifts. He knows—this will not be a conversation. This will be a fight. A battle that will test everything he has survived, everything he has lost.
The calm classroom now feels like an arena. The game, the torment, the pain—they are far from over.
Outro
The screen flickers. Shadows gather.
A voice whispers, almost drowned beneath the tension:
"Kanoji… are you ready?"
The warning lingers, sharper than ever:
The experiment is far from over. The game has only begun.

Episode 3: Jin Lee vs Kanoji
Intro
The classroom trembles, not from wind, but from the tension that fills the air. Sunlight slices through the broken windows, dust particles floating like suspended screams. Kanoji's body aches from past tortures, yet his gaze locks on Jin Lee—tall, imposing, every movement calculated, like a predator studying prey.
The red text lingers:
Msg: Your Potential becomes your death
No weapons. No powers. Just two bodies, two wills, colliding.
The Fight Begins
Jin Lee strikes first, a sudden lunge, fists blurring. Kanoji barely ducks, pain lancing through his ribs from the prior injuries. Every punch is heavier than the last, not just strength but intent, a message of dominance.
Kanoji retaliates, a flurry of strikes aimed at Jin Lee's midsection, then a spinning kick that catches Jin Lee off guard. But Jin Lee adapts instantly, deflecting with sharp, precise counters. Each hit leaves bruises, cuts, and aching bones, yet neither yields.
The fight is a brutal dance. Fists smash into flesh, elbows crash against skulls, knees drive into ribs. Sweat mixes with blood. The sound of cracking bones echoes through the classroom like thunder.
Jin Lee's speed is terrifying—he anticipates Kanoji's every move. Kanoji, fueled by survival and pain, dodges, counters, and punishes with precision, landing strikes that make Jin Lee stagger, but never fall.
Escalation
Both fighters are bleeding. Their breaths come in harsh, ragged gasps. Kanoji lands a solid uppercut that snaps Jin Lee's head back. Jin Lee's response is a spinning elbow that sends Kanoji crashing into a desk. Wood splinters under impact. Pain screams through every nerve, but Kanoji rises instantly, eyes burning with determination.
Time slows with each exchange. Every strike, every dodge, every hit feels like it could be the end. Yet neither gives up. The classroom becomes a storm of fists and motion—destruction in every step, sweat and blood marking the battlefield.
Turning Point
Kanoji sees an opening. Jin Lee overextends, just for a fraction of a second. Kanoji counters with a brutal combination: a series of punches to the chest, a knee to the stomach, and a final spinning hook aimed at Jin Lee's jaw.
Jin Lee staggers, wobbling, but his balance, his mastery, allows him to recover mid-fall, barely. The fight is far from over. Each man knows the other is their ultimate test—the strongest reflection of pain, will, and survival.
Outro
The classroom lies in chaos: broken furniture, shattered glass, bloodied walls. Both fighters are battered, bruised, barely standing, yet unbroken.
A voice cuts through the storm of breathing and pain:
"Kanoji… this is only the beginning."
The shadows in the corners of the room writhe as if alive, watching, waiting. A single truth remains—the game never ends, and every fight is only a step deeper into the nightmare.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 4: Clash of Styles
Intro
The classroom is a warzone. Dust swirls through shattered windows, sunlight slicing across the debris. Kanoji and Jin Lee stand battered, bloodied, muscles trembling—but their eyes burn with unyielding fire. Every strike before was nothing compared to the tension now; every hit carries death, every dodge, survival.
The air hums with anticipation. Pain and rage fuel them both.
The Fight Escalates
Jin Lee lunges first, fists a blur, striking faster than Kanoji can anticipate. Kanoji blocks, counters, their blows colliding with the sound of cracking bone. Desks splinter, walls shudder, and the classroom becomes an arena of raw, brutal skill.
Kanoji lands a spinning elbow to Jin Lee's chest. Jin Lee staggers, only to recover instantly, landing a knee to Kanoji's ribs. The air is thick with sweat, blood, and the screams of their bodies colliding.
The Distraction
Suddenly, the door bursts open. A girl steps in, striking and beautiful, her presence pulling at Jin Lee's attention. His eyes widen, his focus falters. For a split second, the fight slows.
Kanoji doesn't hesitate. He strikes her away with precision—not to harm, just to remove the distraction. The girl tumbles, stunned, as Kanoji's fist returns to the fight.
Jin Lee recovers instantly, fury in his gaze. He launches a brutal counterattack, faster and stronger than ever. Kanoji barely dodges, his body screaming with every movement.
New Moves Unlocked
In the chaos, a sudden glow appears near Kanoji's eyes. A message flashes:
New Move Unlocked – Bakchi Style Hand Figure
Form: Bakchi Style 1
Kanoji feels power surge through his fists, a new rhythm, a new deadly precision. He strikes with lightning speed, fists forming intricate patterns, each hit carrying more impact than the last.
Jin Lee, sensing the shift, doesn't falter. His own aura flares as a message appears near him:
New Move Unlocked – Blue Exotic Hand Style Figure
Move: Blue Strike Bone
He counters with bone-shattering punches, every strike infused with new technique and ferocity.
The Climax
Both fighters move like storms, their newly unlocked styles colliding. Fists meet fists, elbows crash against forearms, every blow shaking the classroom. Dust rises, broken wood and glass flying like shrapnel.
The tension reaches its peak. Kanoji performs a Bakchi Style 1 combo, striking Jin Lee's midsection, then spinning to land a final blow—but Jin Lee counters with Blue Strike Bone, their attacks smashing against each other simultaneously. The impact is colossal, echoing through the ruined room.
Time freezes for a heartbeat as their fists meet—two unstoppable forces, both refusing to yield.
Outro
The classroom is chaos incarnate. Both fighters stand, bruised, bleeding, breathing hard, locked in mutual destruction.
The shadows seem to watch, waiting. The air hums with a single undeniable truth:
This is only the beginning.
The screen fades to black as their fists collide again, leaving the outcome uncertain.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 5: Red Exotic Leaf
Intro
The battlefield stretches beyond the ruined classroom. Kanoji, Jin Lee, and Gi Yun stand in the open now, bodies battered, breaths ragged, hearts pounding. Their fists and skills have tested each other, but the world itself seems to rise against them.
Suddenly, the sky shivers. Red leaves, countless and burning like fire, rain down like a storm from nowhere. Each leaf cuts the air with a whisper of doom.
The Arrival of the Monsters
From the crimson storm, monsters emerge—twisted, grotesque, and alive. Their bodies form and reform, skeletal shapes fused with shadow, eyes glowing with malice. Their fingers trace intricate patterns in the air, curses that ripple outward like deadly spells. Each movement sends shockwaves, the patterns twisting reality itself.
More horrors emerge from their own bodies: additional monsters sprouting like parasitic extensions. They multiply, relentless, crawling toward the trio. Every strike from the heroes seems to do nothing; the monsters shrug off pain, their forms constantly regenerating.
The Sky Transforms
Above, the sky bends into chaos. Massive rings, one red, one blue, pulse with energy, spinning slowly but menacingly. Their size is colossal, their presence suffocating. Each rotation seems to warp gravity, threatening to crush everything below. The rings hum with a sinister force, dangerous beyond comprehension.
The Trio Struggle
Kanoji, Jin Lee, and Gi Yun fight as one, their fists, elbows, and new moves colliding with the relentless onslaught. Yet the monsters overwhelm, forming patterns of curses faster than they can strike.
The cursed symbols from monster fingers scorch the ground, leaving blackened scars, each one making the monsters stronger, their numbers multiplying. No matter how much the trio hits, strikes barely dent the endless tide.
Even their combined strength, Bakchi Style, Blue Strike Bone, and Gi Yun's agility, can barely hold the advancing wave. The monsters are relentless, untouchable, and horrifying.
The Encroaching Rings
The red and blue rings above descend, spiraling closer, their massive presence now threatening the battlefield. Their energy radiates a deadly pressure. Even the monsters seem to sense the rings' power, moving faster, more erratic, more violent.
The trio fights desperately, bodies screaming in pain, sweat and blood mixing with the red leaf storm. Yet it becomes clear—no strike, no combination, no strategy will stop the impending doom.
Outro
The red leaves fall harder, the monsters rise endlessly, and the rings approach, larger and more terrifying.
The sky burns with crimson and sapphire light. The ground trembles under the combined weight of curse, monsters, and the rings' imminent arrival.
Kanoji, Jin Lee, and Gi Yun stand, bruised, bleeding, and yet unbroken, but the world itself threatens to crush them.
The screen fades with the looming rings spinning closer, the monsters endless, and the storm of red leaves rising higher:
The nightmare is far from over.

Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 6: The Lord Monster
Intro – After the Red Exotic Leaf
The red and blue rings stop descending.
They freeze in the sky.
The crimson storm of leaves suddenly halts midair, as if time itself hesitates. The monsters screech in unison, their multiplying bodies pulling back, crawling away from the battlefield as though summoned by something far worse.
Kanoji wipes blood from his mouth, eyes fixed upward.
"…They stopped," he says. "Why did they stop?"
Gi Yun's knees shake.
"I don't like this. This feels worse than fighting."
The rings begin to dissolve—not vanish, but melt into streams of light that spiral downward, carving a massive circular seal into the ground.
From that seal, something awakens.
The Lord Monster Appears
The earth splits open.
A colossal shape rises from beneath the battlefield, shattering stone, swallowing monsters whole as if they are nothing more than insects.
This is no cursed creature.
This is a ruler.
The Lord Monster.
Its body is layered in obsidian-like armor, veins glowing deep crimson. Multiple eyes open across its torso, each eye reflecting pain, fear, and death. Every step it takes bends gravity itself, crushing the ground, silencing the wind.
The smaller monsters kneel.
The red leaves burn to ash before touching its skin.
Gi Yun's voice breaks.
"…That thing is the source."
Before the trio can move—
Magic explodes from all directions.
Neon Strike Force Enters
Ten figures descend onto the battlefield like falling stars.
Five boys. Five girls.
Their bodies glow with layered magic circles, complex and refined. They move without hesitation, forming positions instantly.
This is the Neon Strike Force.
They attack together.
Blades of light slash the Lord Monster's limbs. Elemental chains bind its arms. Gravity spells slam it backward. Sound shatters. Space ripples.
Yet the Lord Monster roars and strikes back.
One force member is smashed into the ground, coughing blood. Another is thrown through ruins, armor shattered. A girl collapses mid-spell, barely standing as her magic flickers.
Still—they rise.
Watching from behind broken walls, Kanoji, Jin Lee, and Gi Yun are frozen.
Kanoji clenches his fists.
"This is insane. We need to join this force. Fast."
Gi Yun gulps.
"Yeah… but I don't think so. I'm scared of these monsters. What if I die? Ahahahaha…"
His laughter is hollow.
Jin Lee smirks, eyes locked onto a girl commanding the formation.
"Hhnhn. You loser. Cry like this," he says. "You guys are not worthless… but me?"
He straightens.
"I will join this force. For Yumi-sama. She is too cute. And hot."
The Battle's End
The Lord Monster roars again, but this time its movements slow.
Neon Strike Force gathers their remaining power.
A final synchronized spell erupts—ten voices, ten wills, one strike.
The Lord Monster cracks.
Its armor fractures. Its eyes shatter. Its massive body collapses inward, exploding into crimson particles that fade into nothingness.
Silence returns.
The monsters vanish completely.
The red leaves stop falling.
The Meeting
Kanoji steps forward first.
"Hey," he says firmly. "We need to join your force."
Yumi turns, wiping blood from her cheek, eyes sharp but calm.
"Great," she says. "Then I'll call Hiyung-jee. He'll pick you up and take you to the Neon Strike Force building."
Gi Yun's eyes widen.
"Wow… you guys have a personal car?"
Yumi glares.
"Shut your mouth. It's not a personal vehicle."
Jin Lee steps in front, brushing dust off his jacket.
"Yumi-san, don't talk to these noobs. Talk to me. I am a gentleman."
He smiles.
"I like you."
The slap echoes.
Yumi strikes Jin Lee across the face.
"What the hell are you saying?" she snaps. "We just met. And I'm not the type of girl you think I am."
Jin Lee drops to his knees.
Tears fall.
Kanoji and Gi Yun speak together.
"Now who's the noob and weak one?"
They burst out laughing.
Jin Lee lunges at them.
They start fighting—
"Please stop."
A calm voice cuts through the chaos.
A girl steps forward.
Chi Yu-sama, a member of the force.
"Don't fight like this," she says softly.
Arrival of Hiyung-jee
A mechanical hum fills the air.
A futuristic vehicle arrives—metallic, hovering, controlled by an AI system. The door opens automatically.
Hiyung-jee steps out.
Without another word, they are taken inside.
Neon Strike Force Building
The structure towers into the sky, massive and endless.
Kanoji looks up.
"This building is too big."
Gi Yun nods nervously.
"That means there are a lot of floors…"
Jin Lee grins.
"Let's go, losers."
As they step inside—
A book flies through the air.
It smashes into Jin Lee's face.
His face turns red instantly.
A man steps forward, arms crossed.
Hayito, the co-operator of Neon Strike Force.
"Now who the hell are you?"
Kanoji bows slightly.
"We need to join the force."
Jin Lee and Gi Yun speak together.
"Yes. We need to."
Hayito laughs.
"What a nice joke," he says. "This is not a place where you walk in and say you want to join."
"So what do we need to do?" Kanoji asks.
Hayito's smile fades.
"You take a test."
"The Test of Pain."
The Test Revealed
A message appears before their eyes.
The Pain Test
A trial where you must survive the world's deadliest pain.
Only survivors may join the number one national force:
The Neon Strike Force
Kanoji exhales slowly.
"Oh… so that's why there are only ten people."
Hayito nods.
"Yes. You're a genius."
Ending
Gi Yun suddenly screams.
"There's something behind us!"
The lights go out.
A massive shadow moves in the darkness.
A monster far larger than before breathes behind them.
The door locks shut.
Fade to black.
To be continued.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 7: The Red Beams from Sky
Intro – First Test Begins
The shadow behind them moves, shifting in the dim light of the hall.
Gi Yun freezes, voice trembling.
"Hey… there's a monster behind us."
Everyone spins, weapons raised, eyes straining through darkness.
Nothing.
Just silence.
Then, a message appears in front of their eyes, glowing like fire:
"First Test Begins."
The hall itself seems to pulse with a heartbeat, dark and immense. The walls stretch into black infinity. No doors, no windows, no escape.
A voice echoes:
"Welcome testers. Survive, or be rejected. Fear will bar your path."
A timer appears above their eyes:
TEST BEGINS – 10 DAYS
The Hall of Darkness
The trio is trapped inside a massive hall—walls disappearing into shadows.
A second message appears:
"Survive in the darkness. Scream, and you fail. The world watches."
Gi Yun swallows hard, whispering:
"I… I guess I can't join the force…"
Kanoji steps close, gripping his shoulder.
"Calm down," he says firmly. "We will join the force together—for the sake of our world."
Jin Lee, unusually quiet, voice breaking:
"What if we fail? What if we can't help our families? What if… they die?"
Tears fall freely.
Kanoji silently thinks, "I want to tell them the truth."
Above them, the timer flickers:
Day 1 – 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM
"Survive from sunrise to nightfall. Good luck to all testers."
The First Horror
The hall trembles.
A chorus of screams echoes from everywhere—pain, fear, despair. Blood sprays across the walls, thick and red, cutting streaks down like rivers.
Suddenly, Gi Yun and Jin Lee's hearts seize. Figures appear in the darkness—familiar faces.
Their families.
Their real families. Parents, siblings, everyone.
And before their eyes… mechanical blades swing. Limbs are severed. Screams erupt. Blood sprays into large metallic vessels, glowing crimson.
A chilling message appears:
"The blood must be consumed. Refusal will make you the next subject."
Kanoji freezes, staring at the horror, tears streaming down his face.
He grips his chest, heart aching. How can they make us do this?
Gi Yun whispers, shaking:
"This… this is impossible…"
Jin Lee collapses to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, repeating:
"What if we fail… what if they die…"
Kanoji tightens his fists, grit in his teeth.
"We have to survive… for them… for the world."
Day 1 Ends
The blood—heavier than any weight they've ever felt—sinks into their minds like poison and fire. The pain is not just physical; it pierces the soul.
A final message appears:
"Day 1 Complete. The Test of Pain has only begun."
The red beams from the sky pulse faintly through cracks in the hall, like silent witnesses to the torment.
The darkness grows heavier, suffocating.
And the trio knows, deep in their bones:
The next nine days will be far worse.
To be continued.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 8 – The Test of Jointment
Intro – Day 2 Begins
A message appears before their eyes:
"Day 2 – Survive curses and monsters. Do not get distracted or you will become part of this test. Good luck."
Gi Yun and Jin Lee start wobbling, faces pale. They clutch their stomachs and stumble, feeling poisoned.
Another message appears:
"Test players Gi Yun and Jin Lee have been poisoned."
Kanoji steps forward, voice tense:
"Are you guys okay?"
Gi Yun and Jin Lee respond weakly:
"Yes… we're fine."
A new message appears:
"Test 2 – Day 2. Time: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Survive through the night."
The trio exchanges glances. Kanoji mutters,
"What the… The time got extended, but our strength is almost gone."
From the shadows of the hall, a man emerges, pointing a Desert Eagle directly at their heads.
A message appears:
"If you get distracted, you will die. Do not scream, do not blink, do not take any risk."
The air thickens. Hard, torturous voices echo around them—screams, cries, the sound of people being killed. Time drags. Another message flickers:
"Time: 9:00 AM"
Suddenly, a massive curse monster emerges from the darkness, walking slowly but purposefully toward Kanoji, Gi Yun, and Jin Lee. Gi Yun begins to tremble, almost screaming—but Kanoji grabs his arm, steadying him.
The monster opens its grotesque mouth, revealing a structure of fingers inside, writhing as if forming some dark curse.
Another message appears:
"Time: 3:00 PM – The real test begins."
The trio is handcuffed. The man with the Desert Eagle steps forward. His name is Quin Siyung.
"Let's see if my aim is true," he says coldly.
A message appears:
"Test 104 begins. In this test, Quin Siyung will aim and shoot. If you are lucky, you will survive. If not, you will die."
Quin blindfolds Kanoji, Gi Yun, and Jin Lee. Then he blindfolds himself and begins aiming. The first shot grazes Kanoji's arm—he does not scream or move. The next two shots hit Kanoji's head.
Kanoji feels a cold darkness swallowing him. And then… he opens his eyes. He is alive.
In his mind, he thinks:
"Am I alive?"
Quin Siyung's voice echoes in his mind:
"Yes. You are alive. I can read your thoughts."
Kanoji glares:
"Don't toy with us. Just conduct the test."
Quin shrugs, calm:
"This is the test. Survival is part of the game."
A message appears:
"Time: 8:00 PM – Only two hours remain."
Relief floods the trio—they survived. But the last two hours are still a deadly trial, unknown horrors awaiting them.
Another message appears:
"Test 105 begins. Survive the headless monsters. Brains are in their hands. Limit of monsters: 100. Use hard sound power with caution—it can make you deaf. Good luck."
From the shadows, monstrous figures emerge—headless, their brains clutched in their hands, moving toward them with unnatural speed.
Kanoji grips his fists, voice firm:
"Don't die. We have to survive… for the world."
The trio braces, standing against the oncoming horde.
Episode Ends.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 9 – CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS
Last Two Hours – Day 2
Kanoji clenches his fists, eyes wide:
"We need to survive at any cost."
From the darkness, the monsters surge forward, moving faster and faster. Some wield red-blooded swords, their movements eerily synchronized. They start marching and singing, voices echoing like a nightmare chorus:
"We need your soul! We need your life! The hell is ours! Come with us, we will celebrate this! Yaaaaaa! Hahahaha! Haaaaaa! You can't escape this hell! Come with us! This is your nightmare! You can't escape it! Come! Come! Come!"
Kanoji's voice is firm, commanding:
"Focus! Focus on survival!"
A message appears before them:
"Use hard sound power. Warning: It can cause deafness. Use at your own risk."
Kanoji instructs:
"This is the time. Gi Yun, Jin Lee, cover your ears tightly. I will use this power."
Jin Lee smirks, defiant:
"Hey, you bastard. This power is cool, and I'm cool. I'll use it. Go cry somewhere!"
Gi Yun groans:
"Do whatever you want, but hurry! They're coming faster!"
Kanoji snaps:
"Please, Jin Lee. Let me handle this. I know how to control it. You're weak now—poisoned from the blood of your families. We don't have much time. Gi Yun, you too—cover your ears!"
A monster lunges at Kanoji, sword aimed at his chest. The blade grazes him, blood spilling immediately.
A message appears:
"Test player Kanoji received damage. Blood loss: 100/500. Penalty: 1."
Time ticks: 10:00 PM
Even as the Day 2 test ends, the monsters do not retreat. They surge toward Kanoji, recognizing he is not from this world. Chaos erupts—he is overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a figure bursts into the hall: Suyong, a Neon Strike Force member. With a Petal Kick, she annihilates the monsters in a blur of deadly precision.
Jin Lee, distracted by Suyong's sudden appearance, blushes and bleeds from his nose.
Gi Yun and Kanoji rush to her, gratitude in their voices:
"Thank you so much!"
Jin Lee stammers, awkwardly:
"Hey, pretty lady… thanks for saving this bastard. I really appreciate it."
Suyong eyes the trio, serious but impressed:
"So, you're testers… hhh. I'm really impressed by you. And you, Kanoji… you have blood on you. That counts as one penalty. You will have to stay in a room full of fire and endure a lava-burning rock. Refuse, and you become the next test subject."
Gi Yun and Jin Lee exchange horrified glances:
"What the hell is this?"
Kanoji nods, determined:
"I'm ready."
Unknown to them, Kanoji himself is destined to become the one who will destroy this world.
A final message appears:
"Test delayed. Next test scheduled: 11|10|2077."
Kanoji whispers in disbelief:
"What is this date?"
The others glance at him, uncertain:
"You're from this world, right?"
Kanoji suddenly remembers: he is stuck inside the game. Time is moving unnaturally fast—but the true mystery behind it remains unknown, lurking beyond comprehension.
Episode Ends.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 10 – If We Try Harder, We Can Do It
Kanoji had received a penalty for the blood loss he had sustained earlier. The rules were clear: he must survive without crying, screaming, or feeling pain. The test would push him to his limits.
A message appeared before him:
"KANOJI PENALTY – HOT BOILING ROCK ON CHEST IN 100°C ROOM. Do not feel pain, scream, or cry. Survive for 10 minutes to move to the next test."
Giyung and Jin Lee stared at him in disbelief.
"This is impossible," Giyung whispered.
Jin Lee shook his head. "He can do it, though."
Kanoji's resolve hardened. "I have to do this. I need to survive for this world."
He was handcuffed as Suyong escorted him into the penalty room. The air inside was thick and scorching, waves of heat pressing down on him as the door sealed shut. He was laid on a bed in the center of the room.
Suyong nodded to Hisuyong and Kakui, two members of the Neon Strike Force assigned to administer the penalty. They carefully placed a molten, lava-heated rock onto Kanoji's chest.
Time appeared on a display: 10 minutes.
Kanoji did not flinch, cry, or scream. His expression remained calm, his breathing steady.
Even Hisuyong, Kakui, and Suyong themselves were unnerved. In their minds, they whispered, "He's a monster." Giyung and Jin Lee also watched, fear mingling with awe.
Five minutes passed. The heat and weight pressed down on him, but still, Kanoji endured without a sign of pain.
As the rock was finally removed after ten long minutes, a dark, charred imprint remained on Kanoji's chest and stomach. The skin was blackened and streaked, the exact shape of the molten rock clearly visible. Despite the burn, he did not flinch or cry. Giyung and Jin Lee stared, a mixture of horror and respect in their eyes. Suyong paused for a moment, realizing the monster-like endurance of Kanoji.
From a remote observation room, the co-operator of the Neon Strike Force monitored the scene. "These three… they are truly monsters. It's time to bring in three new members," he murmured.
Time counted down to zero. A message flashed: "KANOJI PENALTY COMPLETED."
Simultaneously, a projector activated, displaying a message on Suyong's watch:
"Stop the test. These three are now qualified to join the Neon Strike Force. Bring them to my office immediately."
Suyong addressed them curtly. "Congratulations. You are officially part of the Neon Strike Force. Now move. Walk to the co-operator's office."
Kanoji, Giyung, and Jin Lee looked at one another in disbelief and relief. "We did it!" Kanoji shouted. "We really did it!"
"Shut your mouth," Suyong snapped, motioning them forward.
Another message appeared:
"You are officially the Head of Neon Strike Force.
KANOJI – 007

Giyung, shocked, muttered, "Why did they give me 'The Scared One' achievement? I'm not scared!"
Jin Lee grinned. "I knew I'd get the stronger stuff. These stats are way better than theirs."
The trio, still exhilarated, walked together toward the co-operator's office. They opened the door with a mix of pride and excitement.
Episode Ends.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 11 – The Training Before Mission
Kanoji, Giyung, and Jin Lee entered the room. The co-operator, Hayito, sat calmly at his laptop, his aura radiating authority.
Kanoji: Sir, we're here.
Hayito: Hmm… I see. So how's your healing? Is it good?
Kanoji: Yes, sir. You called us, so we came.
Hayito: Hmm… you are the one I know will become the best Head.
Giyung: Sir… why did you give me the "Scared One" achievement?
Hayito: Shut your fucking mouth! I called you all here to talk about your training.
Because now, as members of the Neon Strike Force, you need to get stronger. Life here isn't easy.
Jin Lee: So sir… what kind of training are we doing?
Hayito: I'll tell the Head—Kanoji—he'll train you.
Jin Lee: Hhh… I don't want to train for this shit, bastard.
Hayito slowly pulled out a massive Desert Eagle, bigger than a normal gun.
Hayito: Shut the fuck up! If you want to live, follow orders.
A message appeared:
"FOLLOW THE ORDERS OR GET KILLED – RULE #102"
Hayito: Kanoji, go to Floor 6. Train yourself… and train them too.
Kanoji: Yes, sir! I'll do my best.
Hayito: I know you will—that's why I chose you.
Suddenly, something sharp passed through Kanoji's face. Blood trickled from his left side.
Hayito: I told you… it's not easy to survive here.
Another strike happened—but this time it was Hayito who reacted. He parried so fast it was almost invisible, grabbed the attacker, and threw him against the wall.
Hayito: Kizoru… is that you?
Kizoru: I knew you'd catch me, Master.
Kanoji: Master?
Hayito: Kizoru was my student before he joined this force. But he was too weak at fighting, so I kicked him out.
Kizoru: I know, but I've grown since then.
Hayito: I know… but you're still weak for me.
Kanoji: Sir… can we train with Kizoru?
Hayito: It'll be tough for you new guys, but if you're okay, you can. I have no problem.
Kizoru: Hhhh… you little bastards won't win against me!
Kanoji: Strength and speed aren't enough. To win, you need control, focus, and timing.
Giyung: But Kanoji… what about your injury?
Kanoji: It's nothing. I can control myself, even with these injuries.
Jin Lee: Hey, you bastard… that's a lot!
Hayito pulled the gun on Jin Lee, pressing it to his head, and extinguished a cigarette in his mouth.
Hayito: Last warning. Shut up.
A message appeared:
"Member Jin Lee – Got Warning. Reason: Talking Bad with Co-Operator and Head"
Jin Lee: The taste… actually, this cigarette is amazing!
Hayito: Hhhh… that's a $5000 cigarette in Japan, you poor ass.
Jin Lee: HHHHH… WHAT?!
Kizoru: MASTER! STOP!
Now I'll fight this new Head—Kanoji.
Giyung: What about me and Jin Lee?
Hayito: Suyong will train you two.
Jin Lee: Yes! That's a better option.
Giyung: Hhh… you're saying that because you like girls?
Jin Lee: Shut your mouth, you fucking bastard!
Jin Lee started beating Giyung playfully, while Kanoji and Kizoru shook hands.
Kanoji: Let's get ready for this fight.
Message appeared:
"HEAD KANOJI AND KIZORU – FIGHT AT 6TH FLOOR – TIME: 2 HOURS – ABILITIES & POWERS USABLE – PENALTY IF KILLED"
Message appeared for Giyung & Jin Lee:
"TRAINING – TIME: 1 HOUR – TRAINER: SUYONG – POWERS & ABILITIES NOT USABLE"
Jin Lee: Hey… that's unfair! Only one hour?!
After their brief training announcement, Kanoji, Giyung, and Jin Lee raised their hands together, smiling and clapping.
The stage was set for the challenges ahead.
Episode Ends.
Chapter 7 – The Pain of Alone
Episode 12 – The Training to Get Stronger
Kanoji and Kizoru, along with Jin Lee and Giyung, prepared for their next stage of training.
Kanoji: Hhhh… finally, the 6th floor.
Kizoru: Look who finally made it. I've been waiting for you.
They stepped into the training room.
Message appeared:
"Welcome to Training Room – RULE #28: DO NOT KILL – RULE #94: Do Not Cause Fatal Injuries. Fight smart, fight better."
Kanoji & Kizoru: Good luck.
Timer Start – 2 Hours
TRAINING START
Meanwhile, Jin Lee and Giyung began training with Suyong. Jin Lee couldn't help but notice Suyong's short but perfectly-fitted dress.
Jin Lee (thinking): Missuyong… looking too hot.
Giyung: Stop staring!
Suyong: Okay, let's start. First, basics: Hard Stomp, Hand Pressure, Beast Kick.
Back in the main training area, Kizoru moved at an unbelievable speed—1,000 km/sec, almost invisible to the eye.
Kizoru: Too fast… you won't survive!
Kanoji: Focus…
Suddenly, Kizoru struck from behind with his dagger.
HP: 4800/5000 – Hit by dagger from behind
Kanoji: He's too fast… how did Hayito catch him so easily?
Kizoru: Focus, baby, focus! Hahaha!
Within 30 seconds, Kizoru slashed Kanoji 40 times across his body.
HP: 3000/5000 – 40 cuts
Kanoji began bleeding heavily, feeling weak. Suddenly, one of his eyes glowed blue.
Message appeared:
"KANOJI – NEW POWER: SLOW SPEED – USE: See anyone moving faster as slow."
Kanoji: That's it… I need this.
Kizoru: Ohhh, that power? Useless! You can't do anything with it.
Kanoji: Let's see…
Kanoji drew his dagger and attacked Kizoru at high speed.
Meanwhile, Jin Lee was barely training with Suyong, talking more than learning.
Giyung: You're the worst! I need to get stronger!
Jin Lee: Shut up, I'm talking with Suyong.
Giyung: I need Hayito's training!
Giyung dashed to Hayito's office.
Giyung: Sir, I want to train with Kanoji.
Hayito: Why wasn't Suyong training you?
Giyung: He was… but Jin Lee was just talking.
Hayito: I told that bastard to shut his ass mouth.
Giyung: Please, sir… I want to be stronger like Kanoji.
Hayito: Fine… you can watch them fight.
Giyung: Thanks, sir!
Hayito: No problem. Just become stronger.
Giyung ran at high speed to the 6th floor. He arrived just as Kizoru struck Kanoji repeatedly.
HP: 500/5000 – Too much blood loss
Kanoji activated his Blue Eye, slowing Kizoru's movements. He analyzed the attack pattern and countered with a rapid dagger strike.
Kizoru HP: 5000/10000 – Multiple cuts, bone cracking
Kizoru: What the hell is this?!
Kanoji: Timing, control… that's how you win a fight.
Giyung watched, eyes sparkling.
Giyung (thinking): So this is what it feels to be truly strong…
Message appeared:
"TIME 0 – TRAINING COMPLETE. Injuries? Go to Underground Hospital Room -2."
Kanoji: Giyung… why are you here? Weren't you training?
Giyung: No, Jin Lee wasn't letting us train. I asked Hayito sir to let me join you. I want to get stronger like you.
Kizoru: Lucky you, Giyung. Kanoji is stronger than I expected… don't underestimate him.
Kanoji: It's fine. No problem.
Kizoru: Kanoji… want to be my rival?
Kanoji: Shakes hands Yes.
Giyung: Can you two train me too, please?
Kanoji, Kizoru & Giyung: laughing and smiling Yes! Why not.
Episode Ends.
Episode-13: First Mission of Force
In this episode, Kanoji, Jin Lee, Giyun, Kizoru, and Suyang will go on their first mission.
Kanoji, Giyun, and Kizoru were training.
Suddenly, Hayito, the co-operator, called them.
Hayito: "All of you, come fast to my office. I have something important and urgent."
They all rushed to the office. They entered and said:
All: "Sir, we all are here."
Hayito: "Ok, all of you have a new mission. Kanoji, you will lead and command them."
Hayito looked at Jin Lee and said:
Hayito: "Kanoji, tell me if someone does not take your command."
Kanoji: "Ok, sir."
A message appeared:
First Mission
Go to Shejbiang Village
Go to the dungeon and save a girl
Kill all monsters
Loot all the items
They all ran toward the exit gate. When they stepped out of the Force, they saw the rings they had seen before in the sky—one blue and one red—and now they were much bigger than before.
A message appeared: "These rings are made by the most deadly Curse Lords."
1. Lord Hizuang (Red Ring)
Size: 200
Power: Unbeatable
Level: 50,000
HP: Unbeatable (Unknown)
The lord curse in the emperor at number #5
2. Lord Jiung (Blue Ring)
Size: 300
Power: Unbeatable (Unknown)
Level: 100,000
HP: Unbeatable (Unknown)
The lord curse of the world at number #2
All of them said: "That's crazy. How powerful they are, we can't even imagine."
They started running toward the village to save the girl from the dungeon.
In the middle of the forest path, a lot of monsters were blocking the way.
A message appeared: "Kill all monsters to go to Shejbiang Village."
The monsters were eating people. Some tore stomachs, some ate heads and brains, and others ate usual body parts.
Kanoji: "Giyun, use your weapon and skills to kill them. Jin Lee, use your hard stomp attacks. Suyang, do anything you want, just kill these bastards."
Kizoru: "So, what should I do?"
Kanoji: "Just stay and watch."
Kizoru: "Oh, I like your attitude. Ok, as you say, Head Officer."
They all struck as Kanoji said and started killing the monsters.
Giyun felt scared. One monster caught him and opened its mouth to kill him, but at that moment, Kizoru used his Hakai Red Eye power. He used this power to control people but not to kill them—he used it to kill the monster and saved Giyun.
Giyun: "Thank you, Kizoru. If you weren't there, I would die."
Kizoru: "Hh… You are good at fighting when you are with me and Kanoji, but not in front of these bastards. How shameful!"
Giyun: "I'm sorry! I just… I don't know why, but all the time when I see this, my mind feels something bad."
Kanoji: "Giyun, come fast and kill them."
Giyun went to kill the monsters.
Kizoru (in his mind): "He is too strong but scared of something. I see it… it's something he felt too hard. I guess it's the lord powers! Hmm… maybe not, because this scared bastard would not fight the lords of the curse or the world."
Giyun used his weapon to kill the monsters.
A message appeared: "Go to Shejbiang Village and save the girl from the dungeon."
They all started going to the village.
But Kizoru was feeling something off about Giyun because of what he said earlier.
Kanoji: "Kizoru, come fast."
Kizoru: "Yes, I'm coming."
Then suddenly, Kizoru saw someone in the trees watching them.
Episode End
Episode-14: Can I Have Your Blood
Kanoji, Giyun, Jin Lee, Kizoru, and Suyang started walking toward Shejbiang Village.
After two hours of walking, they finally reached it.
They started searching for the dungeon. But Kizoru felt something off. He kept staring at Giyun.
Kizoru (in his mind): "What can it be? Why did this strong bastard get scared so easily?"
Suddenly, a shadow moved at an extremely fast speed—even faster than Kizoru could react.
Kizoru: "What the—who is this?"
After one hour of searching and traveling through the whole village, a message appeared:
"Enter the dungeon from the top of the mountain."
They all said angrily:
All: "Why didn't you tell us before?"
Jin Lee: "I knew it wouldn't be easy to find the dungeon, but when I'm with you all, you got my luck."
Suyang: "Shut the fuck up, you rascal!"
Kanoji, Giyun, and Kizoru started laughing.
All: "Hahahahahah! Hahahahahah!"
They started repeating what Jin Lee said:
All: "I knew it wouldn't be easy to find the dungeon, but when I'm with you all, you got my luck! Hahahah!"
Jin Lee started playfully beating them. Suyang used his Hemo Hemo no Ki magic to control Jin Lee.
After that, they started going to the dungeon and found it in the mountain. A portal appeared near the dungeon door. The dungeon had a skull on top, made of red color—but when they smelled it, it was blood.
A message appeared:
"This dungeon is not easy to complete. Many people came here before for treasure and loot, but all were killed by a giant figure with a skull gun, blasting rockets and firing bullets."
Kizoru: "I see that."
Kanoji: "What?"
Kizoru: "When you were fighting monsters in the forest, a shadow of a stranger left from behind. It was tall and had the same structure as this message says."
They all opened their mouths in shock.
All: "So it means…?"
Kizoru: "Yes… it was that monster."
A message appeared on all their watches:

They all looked at each other in disbelief.
Suyang: "We didn't even get this kind of mission, but you guys got it as one mission?"
A message appeared:

Giyun: "Hhh… I can't believe this… it really happened!"
They both were so happy.
Jin Lee muttered: "You all bastards… I will get good stuff too."
The message disappeared.
Kizoru, Suyang, and Jin Lee: "What the fuck… where is ours?"
Hayito (from the watch): "Stop this fucking thing, you bastards. Just complete the dungeon and level up, get new things."
All: "Ok! Let's kill the boss in the dungeon and save the girl together. There is no one our enemy… just these monsters. Humans are not our enemies!"
Episode End
-EPISODE‑15: FINALLY, I SEE IT
Kanoji, Giyun, Jin Lee, Kizoru, and Suyang stood before the dungeon entrance.
All: "Ok… let's enter the dungeon."
They stepped through the portal and instantly found themselves in a horrific sight: the walls, the floor, everything drenched in blood. In the center of the dungeon, a girl was trapped, crying for help.
Girl: "Save me…"
A message flashed before them:
GIRL NAME: KIMORI
Origin: England
Kanoji: "How did she end up here?"
Hayito (from the watch): "It doesn't matter now. Save her first, I'll explain everything later."
A new message appeared:
#1 FIRST RAID
FASTER MONSTERS – 100
…LOADING…
RAID STARTED
The team braced themselves. Kanoji commanded:
Kanoji: "Kill the monsters at any cost—even if it costs your lives!"
Giyun trembled—he had never faced such monsters, let alone a hundred at once.
Kizoru leaned close to him and whispered:
Kizoru: "Fight… fight… fight, you monster. Fight."
The world around Giyun turned black. He simply pointed toward the monsters and unleashed his Cutter XL, followed by a Focusing Stamp. In a single strike, all 100 monsters were obliterated—silent, unstoppable.
Kizoru: "Yes… that's it. The real monster is Giyun."
A harsh wind blew from Giyun's nostrils, his eyes turning completely black with a single red dot glowing in each.
Message:
First Raid Complete
Leader of Raid: Giyun
Total Kills: 100
XP: 1000
Level Up: 5 → 15
Skill Unlocked: Crimson Curves (Strike 10 targets simultaneously)
Power: Hirsoi Knuckles (Use when 50–100 monsters appear)
Cooldown Decreased: 1 sec
Achievement: Killer XL Boss
All: "What… Giyun?! You killed all of them in one strike?!"
Kanoji remained silent—he had known Giyun could do this. In fact, he had intentionally held back during the fight to see how Giyun would react to Kizoru's words: "Fight… fight… fight, you monster."
Something sinister had awakened within Giyun. It felt like something crawling inside, desperate to escape.
A new message appeared:
#2 RAID TWO – BOMBED ASS ZOMBIES
RAID STARTED
They all knew this raid would be impossible for anyone but Giyun—it was designed to force him to embrace his inner monster.
A massive one-eyed monster chained and surrounded by hundreds of tiny hands appeared, a red mark on its head glowing. 200 more monsters charged.
Giyun (shouting): "I'M READY! THE MONSTER INSIDE ME NEEDS YOUR BLOOD! COME AT ME, ALL OF YOU BASTARDS!"
Kanoji's eyes turned purple as a cursed fluid oozed from them.
Message:
KANOJI GOT INFECTED. HE CANNOT FIGHT IN RAID
If you don't accept the rule #278, you will be punished.
Kanoji: "Fine… I won't fight. But will I at least get XP?"
Message: "No. You won't."
Giyun tore through the horde, tasting their blood. The gigantic one-eyed monster advanced.
Suddenly, a corrupted message appeared, disabling the raid for all members except Giyun.
Message: "ALL MEMBERS KICKED OUT OF RAID"
Giyun remained, smiling and laughing. He grabbed his eye, pulling it out, blood streaming down his face. The boss let out a deafening roar.
Message: "A NEW BOSS IS INCOMING"
Episode End.
EPISODE‑16: THIS IS THE GAME
Giyun was still in the dungeon.
A message appeared:
NEW BOSS INCOMING
Giyun: "Ok… that's getting harder now."
Giyun punched the boss and pushed it against the wall. The wall was covered in blood. He kicked and used Cutter-X, then started punching harder and harder.
Message:
BOSS HP: 1000 / 3000
DAMAGE EFFECT: CRITICAL
Giyun pushed the boss towards him and ate it in one bite.
Kanoji and the others were not in the dungeon—they were kicked out. Only Giyun remained.
Kanoji realized Giyun was fighting the dungeon alone.
Later, while going to the jungle, Kanoji saw someone watching him. He followed, but the figure was too fast. Kanoji activated his power (blue eye) and stopped him.
Kanoji: "What do you want?"
Mysterious Man: "Nothing. I just need to tell you something."
Kanoji: "What?"
Mysterious Man: "You are not in the real world. You are in a game."
Kanoji: "What are you saying?"
Mysterious Man: "Yes. This is the 2nd world of the game. There are many worlds like this."
Kanoji: "How do you know that?"
Mysterious Man: "I have traveled through two different worlds. You will need to travel after this."
Kanoji realized it had never been the real world.
He started running.
Jin Lee, Kizoru, and Suyang: "Kanoji! Where are you going?"
Kanoji didn't answer. He rushed straight to the dungeon.
Inside the dungeon, Giyun had already killed the first boss.
Message:
#1 BOSS KILLED
Killed By: Giyun
EXP: 2000
LEVEL: 15 → 20
No New Skill Unlocked
Giyun: "Hhh… I killed it and only got level up? That's bullshit."
Message:
#2 BOSS SUMMONED
Boss Name: Kimochi Na Huro
The message stopped suddenly. The boss moved fast and attacked Giyun. Giyun tried to stop it, but suddenly his monster mode vanished. He was back to normal.
Message:
ATTACK: Striked Blue Punch
DAMAGE: 1000 / 3000
Giyun hit the wall and started losing blood.
Message:
GIYUN – BONE CRUSHED (1 LEG, 1 ARM)
Giyun was terrified.
Giyun: "What happened to me? Where are the others?"
The boss attacked a second time with a new power.
Kanoji suddenly appeared and blocked the attack.
Giyun: "Kanoji! Where are the others?"
Kanoji: "No time. Use your healing power now."
Giyun healed himself.
Healing: 100 HP
HP: 1000 / 3000
Blood stopped flowing. He tried to stand but couldn't.
Kanoji grabbed a sword from the dungeon entrance and attacked the boss. The boss dodged all attacks and struck Kanoji's face with full force.
Damage: 2000 / 4000 HP
Kanoji stood up and used his new power. He raised the sword into the air.
Kanoji: "KIMISU NO TAKIRO!"
Blue flames erupted from the sword. Flames shifted to yellow, red, purple, and grew massive.
The boss rushed at Kanoji. The boss punched his stomach (Bone Crusher), but Kanoji didn't feel anything.
Kanoji: "DIE… DIEEEEEEE!"
He slammed the sword into the ground. The boss dissolved in flames.
Message:
BOSS KILLED
Killed By: Kanoji
EXP: 5000
LEVEL: 20 → 25
NEW SKILL UNLOCKED: Bone Crusher
Kanoji collapsed. One hand badly damaged, fingers burned, his whole body scorched.
Giyun crawled to him. When he reached Kanoji, he realized Kanoji wasn't breathing.
Message:
HEAD OFFICER KANOJI DIED
RESPAWNING…
LIVES: 1 / 2
Kanoji disappeared. Not in the dungeon, not in the village, not even in Neon Strike Force.
The mysterious man watched from the jungle, laughing.
Mysterious Man: "Giyun… I am coming for you."
EPISODE-17: WHERE I AM
Darkness. Silence.
Kanoji stood still.
He was inside a dark room, but in front of him…
he could see his childhood.
A small house.
Warm light.
Soft voices.
He saw his parents holding him when he was a baby.
He heard their voices clearly.
Mother (smiling softly):
"What a lovely boy… He will become a successful man in the future."
Father:
"He will be strong. He will make us proud."
Laughter echoed again.
His brother and sister were standing nearby.
Brother:
"Our new brother is so cute!"
Sister:
"I want to protect him forever!"
Kanoji's body started shaking.
Tears rolled down his face.
Kanoji (crying):
"Mom… Dad… Brother… Sister…"
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…"
His voice broke.
Kanoji:
"I didn't want to end up here…"
"I didn't want to live alone…"
Suddenly—
Something moved behind him.
Ten hands appeared.
No face.
No body.
Only hands.
Kanoji turned around.
There was nothing behind him—
only those hands resting on his shoulders.
A voice whispered directly into his mind.
Unknown Voice:
"Kanoji… please… please don't die."
"You need to save the world."
"You need to destroy the game."
Kanoji screamed.
Pain exploded inside his chest.
He cried louder and louder—
but this time, blood flowed from his eyes instead of tears.
Then—
A tall figure appeared.
No mouth.
No face.
No body details.
Only two blue, flaming eyes glowing in the darkness.
The figure placed a knife in Kanoji's hand.
Without saying a word…
it disappeared.
Kanoji looked at the knife.
His hands were shaking.
Slowly…
he raised it.
And stabbed both of his eyes.
Blood burst out.
His eyes were destroyed.
The room started filling with blood, dripping from walls, floor, ceiling.
Kanoji screamed in agony.
Suddenly—
The room vanished.
He started falling endlessly.
The same tall figure appeared again in front of him.
This time, it offered him a mask and a blindfold.
Kanoji didn't take it.
The figure became violent.
A long, sharp chain struck Kanoji again and again.
Pain ripped through his body.
Finally, Kanoji grabbed the mask and blindfold
and put them on.
For the first time, the figure spoke out loud.
Tall Figure:
"Go to the portal."
Blind.
Bleeding.
Broken.
Kanoji started walking.
He couldn't see anything.
Kanoji (whispering):
"The pain… the pain… the pain…"
He entered the portal.
A strong light touched his empty eyes.
They burned.
Kanoji (screaming):
"THE PAIN… THE PAIN… THE PAIN!"
Suddenly, small hands grabbed his.
Cute, toothless monsters surrounded him.
They held his hands and started walking.
Kanoji:
"Hey… who are you?"
"Where are you taking me?"
The monsters didn't answer.
They let him walk alone.
After some time—
Kanoji reached a kingdom filled with people.
Gasps echoed everywhere.
Everyone was in shock after seeing him.
Suddenly—
A sharp kunai stabbed into Kanoji's hand.
Blood dripped down.
Neon Strike Force
Giyun was lying on a treatment bed.
He was watching everything.
How?
No one knew.
Doctors were treating him.
Something was wrong inside his body.
Something… was turning into a monster.
Back in the kingdom—
Kanoji was taken before the throne.
He couldn't see anything.
People around him started laughing.
They kicked him in the stomach.
Kicked him between his legs.
Slapped his face again and again.
Kanoji didn't speak.
Didn't react.
Suddenly—
A sword flashed.
Blood sprayed.
The King had killed everyone who was teasing Kanoji.
The King stepped forward.
He lowered his head respectfully.
King:
"WELCOME, SIR KANOJI."
EPISODE‑18: I LOVE YOU
KINGDOM – THRONE HALL
The King stepped forward, a dark mask covering his face. Only his piercing eyes were visible through the shadows.
King:
"Welcome, Sir Kanoji."
Kanoji froze. His body trembled.
Kanoji:
"W‑Who… who are you?"
King (calmly, masked):
"It is not the right time for you to know who I am."
Kanoji:
"Then when is the right time?"
King:
"The right time comes when it wants to. Until then… I am your assistant, sir. Say whatever you desire."
Kanoji stayed silent.
Kanoji:
"…Nothing. I just want to know where I am."
Before the King could answer—
A drunk man laughed loudly, spilling alcohol on the floor.
The masked King turned, walked toward the man, grabbed his head—
And slammed it down violently against Kanoji's leg.
CRACK.
The body collapsed. Blood spread across the floor.
Kanoji flinched.
Kanoji:
"What… what was that sound?"
King (calmly, eyes glinting through mask):
"Nothing, sir. Just a mosquito."
Everyone in the hall went pale. No one dared to breathe.
NEON STRIKE FORCE – MEDICAL FACILITY
Giyun lay on the treatment bed. Machines beeped wildly.
Doctors panicked.
Doctor:
"His life signs… they're unstable!"
Hayito, Suyang, and Jin Lee froze.
Hayito:
"What… happened in that dungeon…?"
Kizoru said nothing. His eyes were empty.
Suddenly—
Giyun's chest bulged violently.
Doctor (horrified):
"W‑What is that inside his body—"
A mouth burst open from Giyun's chest. One hundred and twenty sharp teeth.
Then—another mouth inside that mouth.
In one movement, the creature devoured the doctor. Screams filled the room.
Giyun's body twisted, bones snapping, flesh reshaping.
A message appeared in the sky:
THE KING OF CURSE HAS APPEARED
KINGDOM – KANOJI
Kanoji clutched his chest. Pain exploded inside.
Kanoji:
"King… come fast… my heart… it hurts too much…"
The masked King rushed over.
King:
"What happened, sir?"
Kanoji:
"My heart… it feels like it's breaking…"
The King signaled for doctors.
Subtle, almost imperceptible: Kanoji's pulse was still alive, hidden under the pain.
NEON STRIKE FORCE – MASSACRE
Giyun roared. He lost control. No longer human.
Hayito (crying):
"Giyun! Stop! Please—stop!"
Giyun didn't hear. His body became monstrous—cursed arms erupted from flesh, each with an eye in the center.
Jin Lee attacked. Too late.
Suyang tried to escape. Too late.
One by one, the members were consumed.
The building collapsed in minutes. Only monsters remained.
KINGDOM – QUIET
Kanoji's heart pain stopped. Breathing stabilized.
King:
"Sir, do you desire anything?"
Kanoji (whispering):
"No… I just want to rest."
The masked King gently held Kanoji's hand and guided him to a bedroom.
Kanoji lay down. Darkness swallowed him.
HILLS – THE CURSE KING
Giyun stood on a high rock, looking over the world.
Blood flowed from his eyes.
Giyun (monster voice, trembling):
"Mom… Dad… Sister… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…"
"I wanted to protect you… But this world doesn't let people like us live."
He clenched his fists, looking at the sky.
Giyun:
"If you were here… you could see how beautiful this world is…"
He laughed weakly.
Giyun:
"This blood falling from my eyes… it's nothing to you. It's just water."
"This world is too cruel. So I will destroy it."
"So no one ever has to see it again."
KANOJI – BEDROOM
Kanoji woke up, sweating, blind.
Something was wrong. Very wrong.
A knock.
King (masked, calm):
"Sir, may I come in?"
Kanoji:
"Yes… you can."
The masked King entered, holding a glass.
King:
"Orange juice, sir. It will make you feel better."
Kanoji lifted the glass and drank.
Suddenly—
Foam poured from his mouth.
His body collapsed to the floor. Blood spread beneath his head.
The masked King laughed quietly.
King:
"So… Kanoji has reached his end."
He turned toward the darkness.
King (smiling behind mask):
"Now, Giyun… It's your turn. Hahahahaha."
WORLD – THE CURSE KING
Giyun punched the stone again and again.
Giyun:
"Kanoji… I know where you are."
"But I won't come for you."
"I will destroy everything. This game. This world. Everything."
"I've already ended my life with this cursed game."
"Fuck this game. Fuck this world."
A message appeared in the sky:
SOMETHING IS COMING
Kanoji lay unconscious. Bleeding. Sinking into darkness.
EPISODE‑19: CRUEL OUT OF HEAD
The life that never deserved this world
HOSPITAL – NIGHT (2:00 AM)
Rain fell softly outside the hospital.
A woman screamed in pain on the bed.
A second child was being born.
When the baby came out, the room went silent.
The boy's eyes burned like lava, glowing red and orange.
Doctors screamed.
One by one, everyone who looked into his eyes felt fire inside their bodies.
They collapsed, burned from within.
Only his parents survived.
The mother held the child tightly, crying.
She did not let go.
"He is my son."
They took the boy home.
HOME – NIGHT
The baby drank milk quietly from a bottle.
His eyes calmed.
His elder sister stared at him in fear, hiding behind the door.
But the family still protected him.
They gave him a name.
GIYUN.
YEARS LATER – AGE 13
Giyun walked into school with his head down.
His face was twisted, red veins spreading across his skin.
Students laughed.
"Monster."
"Demon face."
"Disgusting."
He said nothing.
Only one girl spoke to him.
She sat beside him.
She listened.
Her name was Huyong.
She shared his pain.
She never looked away.
HOME – DAY (11:00 AM)
Giyun returned from school.
The door was open.
Inside the kitchen, he saw his mother.
Win Yung.
She was dead.
Her head was destroyed—
shot more than fifty times.
Blood covered the walls.
No one else was home.
His sister was still at school.
His father was at work.
Giyun stood still.
Then he started laughing.
Not crying.
Not screaming.
Laughing.
The neighbors heard the noise and called a mental hospital.
Men arrived to take him away.
Giyun grabbed a knife.
He killed them.
And then—
He ate them.
EVENING
His father and sister returned.
They saw the bodies.
His father tried to kill Giyun.
In the chaos—
Giyun killed his sister.
Quing Yang.
His father screamed and stabbed Giyun again and again.
Giyun fell.
Dead.
DARKNESS
Giyun opened his eyes.
Someone was standing before him.
A voice spoke calmly:
"Welcome, Experiment #993."
UNKNOWN ROOM – GAME WORLD
Suddenly—
Giyun woke up.
Small monsters surrounded him, trying to eat his body.
He kicked them away.
A message appeared:
20 MONSTERS KILLED
NO EXP
NO LEVEL UP
MONSTER FORM: DEVOTED
FORM COLOR: BLACK AND RED MIXED WITH BLUE
The message disappeared.
Giyun looked at his hands, shaking.
"I'm sorry…
I'm a monster.
I never wanted to live in this world."
SILENCE
A shadow appeared in front of him.
A figure moved his hands, forming a strange curse.
The figure spoke:
"Giyun… now it's your turn."

**EPISODE‑20
THE LORD OF DEATH**
Giyun stood on a hill rock,
kicking little monsters one by one.
The wind was silent.
Suddenly—
ten kunai cut through the air.
Before Giyun could react, the one who threw them began teleporting between the kunai.
Giyun tried to lock his eyes on him.
But he was too fast.
Giyun couldn't see him.
In the next instant—
The man appeared again and threw a knife connected to a golden chain.
The knife was made of a real skull.
The chained knife wrapped tightly around Giyun's leg.
He was pulled down hard.
Giyun crashed to the ground.
The man finally stopped.
He stood there, silent, wearing a broken mask.
Giyun's eyes widened.
He knew him.
Giyun muttered in fear,
"You… Yoo.u you are the Lord… The curse lord #2."
The man answered calmly,
"Yes iam! Iam the curse lord Tokosi."
Giyun started screaming.
Tokosi placed the knife into Giyun's chest.
The moment the blade entered—
rings began forming from Giyun's chest.
They rose into the sky, one after another.
Suddenly, they stopped.
A green light burst out.
From Giyun's chest toward the rings,
red petals, rose leaves, and blood started rising together.
Giyun, in pain,
"Tokosi why are you doing this."
Tokosi said nothing.
Giyun shouted with rage,
"You fucking bastard You also want to destroy the world and i want to so why are you killing me."
Tokosi's eyes went mad.
He laughed loudly,
"Hahahahhahah You are nothing you are just a little piece of shit you little Butt."
Tokosi lifted his leg—
And kicked the knife deeper into Giyun's chest.
A massive hole opened.
Blood poured out endlessly.
Giyun screamed,
"Ahhhhh pls pls dont do this i didnt want to die pls."
Tokosi pulled the knife out.
Giyun's chest was torn open.
His heart was visible—
losing its hope to live.
With his last strength, Giyun whispered,
"I hope kanoji will kill you you little bastard."
Tokosi smiled,
"Hhmm hahahha."
Giyun forced his eyes open,
"What? What are you laughing for?"
Tokosi replied,
"I've already killed the little rascal Kanoji."
Giyun froze.
"Thats impossible it can't be happened where did u find him?"
Tokosi said coldly,
"It was long story Before you die i will kill you."
Tokosi raised his hand.
"Miki mo kiso."
Time stopped.
Everything froze.
Tokosi entered Giyun's mind
and forced the truth into him.
Story

And i become a Curse lord so i can destroy this world and kanoji
I want my Revenge from kanoji because he killed my family back than in real world
Because my family have some problems with his family so he killed my whole family that night."
Night — 3 AM
"That night it was time 3Am
All we are sleeping in peace suddenly someone knocked at door
My mom got up to check who was it; when she opened the door there was Kanoji.
I was watching everything in the darkest room. When my mom opened the door kanoji pulled the trigger and shoot my mom in head.
My dad sister and brother also get up to check the pistol Voice
Dad-What is this sound?
Sister-I am scared pls help me brother
Brother-Sister don't be scared dad will save us
When my dad went to check outside, he saw his wife—my mom—shot in the head.
Dad opened the main door to see who was there.
Rain started falling.
The lights went out.
Bang.
His father was shot.
Kanoji entered the house.
He opened the door to the children's room.
Tokosi's brother threw a chair.
Kanoji dodged.
Bang.
His brother died.
Kanoji aimed at his sister's stomach.
She begged,
"Pls pls help me pls don't do this pls pls kanoji pls."
Kanoji didn't listen.
Bang.
Silence.
Tokosi escaped.
Time resumed.
Tokosi summoned a long red samurai katana,
covered in yellow lightning sparks.
He placed the sword into Giyun's heart.
"The destruction void — First form."
Black cursed hands erupted from everywhere.
They grabbed Giyun's heart and ripped it out.
Giyun screamed.
Then—
silence.
He died.
Night had fallen.
Tokosi stood alone,
staring at a giant red moon,
crying for his family.
Suddenly—
A figure fell from the sky.
The moon was cut into two pieces.
Tokosi froze.
A man stood before him.
He wore a demon mask
and held a blue katana.
Tokosi whispered,
"Who are you?"
The man answered,
"IAM... IAM... IAM... KANOJI."
