Title: Covered in Gray
Chapter 1: Deadseen
We see a man in his early adulthood traveling through a shadowy forest. He keeps screaming, "No, no!" He holds his chest, breathing insanely fast. He looks behind, and his mission partner is gone. Scared, he runs and crashes into a tree. He falls to the surface of the shadowy forest.
The scene shifts. We see a mysterious monster made of gold in the shadowy forest. The scene shifts back to the man. He stands up, gasps, and gets scared. He says, "No, can there be Metallias here?" He remembers the boss who gave him a mission to chase his wife, who ran off with another man and is heading to another city. His mission partner, who was with him, is now unseen. He keeps shouting, "Virs, where are you? Where the hell are you?"
The mysterious monster appears in front of the man. It has a huge head with creepy eyes and a monstrous body that is barely imaginable. The monster rushes at the man. The man keeps shouting, "Krupt, you can't die! Can't die!" As the monster charges, the man sees a dead body of a woman and a man, blood spilled all over them. He realizes his boss's wife is dead.
The man's name is Krupt. Krupt runs to his boss's wife, and the monster, covered in gold, chases him. It is the Metallias Krupt was talking about. Krupt slaps the wife's body, angry that she left her husband. Krupt starts urinating on the ground as the monster approaches and grabs him. Krupt is in the Metallias's hand. The Metallias puts pressure on Krupt's shoulder, trying to rip his arm off.
But then, a mysterious man wearing white clothes arrives on horseback in the forest. He dismounts, kicks his horse, and the horse falls down. He sees Krupt and the Metallias. He pulls out his sword, named Vicean, and uses a strange ability called Radius Metal Conserver. He draws metal into his sword, releases an extreme amount of energy, and rushes at the Metallias. He uses another ability called Reflection Chamber. His sword splits into forty-eight different parts and then rejoins into one huge sword. He cuts the Metallias in half, and Krupt falls to the ground.
The mysterious man takes Krupt with him. Later, we see the mysterious man hitting Krupt with his leg while Krupt is tied to a chair. He tortures him using a torture device called a thumbscrew, tightening it to crush Krupt's fingers.
