Mysterious discovery!
A mysterious box!
An ancient artifact!
Yes, that was the beginning of everything. The start of a disaster that nearly wiped out the entire city and everything within it without a trace.
A tragedy no one wishes to remember. A historic event no one wants to see repeated.
Twenty years ago, archaeologists discovered a mysterious object. Hidden deep within a cave covered in chunks of ice, they found a strange box coated with jet-black metal, engraved with foreign markings that belonged to no known language on Earth.
Scientists concluded that the discovery was an Ancient Artifact. They called it the discovery of the Pandora's Box Artifact.
At the moment the artifact was about to be exhibited to the public, something unexpected happened. The box suddenly activated... creating a massive black hole. It devoured everything—buildings, people... everything.
A strange sound began to echo, not an explosion, not a rumble, but an empty roar; something not of this world.
From the center of the exhibition stage, the box shook violently. It emitted a blackish-blue and purple light like lightning wrapped in shadow. And in an instant, a crack opened upon its surface, slowly widening, swallowing the surrounding light.
A black hole gaped open in the air. Pitch-dark, like spilled ink staining the sky. It spun slowly, yet its suction force was incredibly powerful. The wind was drawn into it, creating a vast vortex.
Buildings began to move and lift from their foundations. Human screams echoed one after another, mixed with the sound of twisted metal before vanishing into the darkness.
Trees were uprooted, windows shattered, and human bodies were flung about like dry leaves in autumn. Everything was pulled in—without discrimination, without mercy.
And within minutes... the once-great city vanished without a trace.
A tragedy that claimed countless victims. Thousands were declared missing, hundreds confirmed dead, dozens severely injured, and many others lightly wounded.
A dark event still engraved in the memories of those who survived that dreadful day. A trauma that cannot be erased even with the passing of years.
The Pandora's Box Tragedy... that is what they call the dark event from twenty years ago.
