Sixteen years ago in "Beryon," three young men brought peace to humanity. If you ask the ancient wall about the strongest to ever walk the earth, it will answer without hesitation: King, Dern, and Maya.
But on that day... the Devil stirred.
The hunters moved to kill him, and the three were at the heart of the story. The war ended after three days with a bitter loss for humanity, claiming a million lives. The Devil vanished, leaving the earth groaning in pain.

Thanos, one of the heroes, wasn't himself. His eyes turned red as he fled into the night. He opened a portal, and Maya, his beloved—unaware his heart had changed—followed him.
He left her in the middle of the forest, terrified, drowning in silence. She asked:
> *"Why did you kill our friend?"*
He answered in a choked voice:
> *"This is my fate, Maya..."*
> *"Maya, you were born for this day."*
As if regret gnawed at his soul, yet he wouldn't admit it. Everyone hated him. He had no home now.
Maya, fighting back tears, said:
> *"What day is this? You rebelled, spilled blood, and left no place for you among us."*
But Thanos was cold, whispering ominous, incomprehensible words:
> *"I'm in a dark place now... with no way out."*
She burst into tears and said bravely:
> *"I loved you all these years... Did you ever love me?"*
> *"I fought everything just to tell you this..."*
Silence... then he replied:
> *"Our friendship was a lie... I used you all. I had a goal, and now it's within reach."*

**In the present...**
Maya spoke to King:
> *"I don't know his goal... but he didn't want to do what he did. I saw sorrow in his eyes. He was forced... someone is using him."*
King replied steadily:
> *"I'll stay by your side until my last breath, Maya. And I'll find him."*
Maya smiled through her tears:
> *"Thank you, King. You've always been my best friend..."*
She went up to her spacious room on the second floor.
But King, left alone, muttered:
> *"You made that poor girl search for you all these years... while you plotted your crimes, you bastard..."*
Suddenly, a girl appeared out of nowhere:
> *"Lord King, the Devil requests your presence."*
> *"I'll come at once."*
---
**In the garden,**
The Devil waited. Only King knew his true face—Li Xing.
King bowed and said:
> *"Oh devil , forgive my delay."*
> *"You're forgiven. Come, let's walk a while."*
---
**In another world—**
A world without sun... only a moon and mist filling the air. Children ran, and people smiled in Victorian-era clothing.
A child bumped into King and apologized:
> *"Sorry, sir! I was running."*
Li Xing said:
> *"Go buy food for yourself and your brother."*
King asked in astonishment:
> *"Where are we? I don't understand their language... Are we not in our world?"*
Li Xing smiled coldly:
> *"You're in a parallel world. And they tried to steal you . Stay alert."*
King said:
> *"Is this world free of war?"*
The Devil laughed:
> *"No world is without war, King... Even gods have fought demons since the dawn of time."*
Then he asked:
> *"Do you know the story of Adam and the forbidden apple?"*
> *"Yes, the Devil caused it all."*
> *"Good... Come, let me show you something."*
---
**At the Xing family mansion,** a beautiful girl greeted them:
> *"Sir, your room is ready."*
> *"I ordered no one to enter."*
> *"Master Fang Xing commanded me."*
> *"Where is he now?"*
> *"In the forbidden garden."*
Li Xing said coldly:
> *"You've gone too far, Father... Let's go, King."*
---
**In the garden,** the father searched anxiously:
> *"Bodies buried here... The police must be informed. This is the work of the Dark Lord."*
Li Xing smiled:
> *"Father, let's play a game."*
A monster appeared behind the father. King shouted:
> *"Look behind you!"*
The father was seized by the beast and screamed: *"Help me!"*
King ran, then froze. He saw the Devil controlling the monster.
The beast swallowed the father and vanished.
The Devil said:
> *"King, a human's weakness is their loved ones. So don't let your heart control you."*
