The night was quiet.
But for Scy…
it wasn't peace.
It was a warning.
He stood outside their rented house.
Looking up at the sky.
But his mind—
was far away.
Something was bothering him.
A feeling he couldn't explain.
As if something terrible was about to happen.
"…Natalia."
He called out softly.
Natalia stepped outside.
"What is it?"
Scy didn't answer right away.
He looked into the distance.
"I feel something strange…"
Natalia frowned.
"Strange? What do you mean?"
"I don't know… but it feels like…"
"…something bad is coming."
---
At the same time…
in a distant village.
A place filled with silence.
A place that—
was Scy's home.
---
"Our target…"
a man spoke.
"…is that boy's family."
They stood in the darkness.
Class S.
And not just them.
More people.
More dangerous.
---
"Are we sure about this?" one asked.
"Yes."
"We need to draw him out."
"If we can't kill him…"
"Then we destroy the reason he fights."
---
Inside the house—
Scy's parents sat quietly.
But there was uneasiness in the air.
"Do you feel that?" his mother asked.
His father nodded.
"Yes… it feels like something is coming."
---
BOOM!
The door exploded open.
Both of them were shocked.
Figures entered.
Armed men.
---
"Where is your son?" one asked coldly.
Scy's father didn't answer.
Instead—
he stood up.
And gripped his sword.
"If you want to pass…"
"You'll have to step over my corpse."
---
One of the attackers smiled.
"I see…"
---
They charged.
Swords clashed.
Shouts echoed.
Battle erupted.
But—
even though Scy's father was brave…
he wasn't enough against their numbers.
---
One by one—
he was wounded.
Until—
a powerful blow struck him.
BLOOD.
He fell.
"Father!" his mother cried.
---
She ran toward him.
But—
she was pushed aside.
And—
struck as well.
---
Silence.
Blood.
Pain.
---
"Weak…"
one of them said.
"So this is the family of that monster?"
---
With the last of his strength—
Scy's father looked at his wife.
"…I'm sorry…"
But she smiled.
"It's okay…"
"What matters… is that Scy is alive…"
---
And in their final moment—
they closed their eyes.
---
The village was silent.
But soon—
it turned into hell.
Fire.
Screams.
Slaughter.
No one was left alive.
---
Meanwhile…
in Leubrem—
Scy suddenly clutched his chest.
"…!"
His eyes widened.
"What is this…?!"
---
A sharp pain.
Not physical—
but emotional.
---
"Scy!" Natalia shouted.
"What's happening?!"
---
His aura began to change.
Heavier.
Darker.
More dangerous.
---
"…Something happened."
he said softly.
---
He didn't wait.
In an instant—
he disappeared from Natalia's sight.
---
"Scy!"
---
He moved like lightning.
Rushing back toward his home.
---
As he got closer—
he smelled it.
Smoke.
Blood.
---
"…No…"
he whispered.
"…please… no…"
---
When he arrived—
he stopped.
He couldn't move.
---
His village…
destroyed.
Burned.
Lifeless.
---
"… "
Silence.
No words.
---
Slowly, he walked forward.
Until—
he saw them.
---
His parents.
Lying there.
Covered in blood.
No life left.
---
At that moment—
the world stopped.
---
"…Father?"
No answer.
---
"…Mother?"
Silence.
---
He dropped to his knees.
His hands trembling.
He touched them.
Cold.
---
"…No…"
he whispered.
---
Tears began to fall.
---
"…This can't be…"
---
He screamed.
---
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
---
His aura exploded.
Stronger.
More dangerous.
More… monstrous.
---
The ground cracked.
The air trembled.
Even the sky seemed to darken.
---
Far away—
everyone could feel his rage.
---
In Leubrem—
people froze.
"What kind of power is that?!"
---
Elsewhere—
the Class S adventurers looked up.
"…Did you feel that?"
---
But it was too late.
---
In the middle of the flames—
Scy stood.
His eyes—
no longer kind.
---
"Should I forgive them…?"
he asked softly.
---
Silence.
---
Then—
he shook his head.
---
"…No."
---
His voice—
cold.
Empty.
---
"I'll wipe them all out."
---
And in that moment—
a monster was born.
