**Episode 2 – Hellgaru Stone**
Before Earth existed, there was another world—a planet inhabited by beings much like us. But then, through the darkness of a black hole, mysterious stones emerged. These cursed objects brought chaos, destruction, and madness across the planet.
The stones came to be known as **"Hellgaru"**—a name whispered by devils. That world became a pool of blood, its surface scorched with eternal black flames. In ancient myths, it is now remembered as *The Abyss of Nothingness*, or *The Black Sun*.

After dinner, Mu Gang retreated to his room.
"Man, today was exhausting," he muttered, collapsing into bed.
At **2:45 AM**, a strange sound jolted him awake—soft, sorrowful **crying**.
"What is that bizarre sound?" he asked, panic rising.
He looked around the room. The sound was coming from the **black rock** on his desk.
Blood was streaming from the rock's eyes.
"What... what is this thing?" he whispered, trembling.
Then, a voice echoed in the room.
**"Drink this blood."**
**"Drink this blood."**
The voice came from the rock itself, whispering darkly:
**"Drink the blood and become one with Hell's Black Flame. Burn your desires through me."**
Mu Gang clutched his chest.
"What… is this sound?" he gasped. "My heart… it feels like it's burning… like I've turned to ash, drifting through endless time…"
And with that, he fell into a deep, heavy sleep.

**Morning.**
"Hey, son! What time is it? Wake up—you'll be late for school," called his mother, Mu Taki.
"Huh? Morning already?" Mu Gang sat up, groggy. Oddly, he remembered **nothing** about the rock or the night before.
Without thinking much of it, he packed the rock in his bag and headed off to school.

At school, his friend Jung Woo spotted the strange object.
"Hey, Mu Gang, give me that rock."
"What? I found it. Why should I give it to you?"
They argued for a while, but eventually, Mu Gang handed the rock over.
Nothing strange happened for the rest of the day. Mu Gang returned home and went to sleep around **10:00 PM**.

Mu Gang had a **three-year-old sister**, Ah Jinha. She usually slept with their parents, Mu Taki and Mu Chang.
Around **4:00 AM**, Mu Taki woke up and noticed her daughter wasn't beside her. Assuming Ah Jinha had gone to the bathroom, she went to check—only to find it empty.
Then she smelled it—**blood**. A strong, metallic scent, seeping from the direction of **Mu Gang's room**.
"Oh God… Wh-what is this smell?!" she cried, panic gripping her heart.
She rushed to Mu Gang's room and opened the door—
**Blood.** The room was **drenched** in it.
Mu Gang sat in the middle of it all, trembling… and **chewing** something.
"Son… why are you crying? What are you eating?" her voice shook with dread.
"Mother… M-Mother…" he sobbed.
"I'm eating… Ah Jinha's body…"
Tears streamed down his face, but his lips curled into a **grin**.
"I couldn't resist. My sister's flesh… it's so delicious."
Mu Taki stepped closer—and her world shattered.
Her son… was **devouring** his little sister.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! What are you doing?! MY DAUGHTER! MY DAUGHTER!!!"

*Why was Mu Gang eating his sister's flesh?*
*What has possessed him?*
*Is his mother the next victim?*
