The World's Child

In a world shrouded by an endless, dark forest, a child is born without knowing a single soul. Its only companions are the whispering trees, the eerie creatures that roam, and the constant silence that surrounds it. With features like a human but possessing four hands—two emerging from its shoulders and two from its back—the child is a creature of both wonder and fear. Yet it knows nothing beyond the forest that birthed it. No parent, no guardian, and no other being like it. Surviving in this unforgiving world is a constant battle. Every day is a fight against the elements, against monstrous predators, and against the very nature of a ruthless, cruel cultivation world. The child’s cries echo through the woods, yet no one answers. Its only hope lies in the smallest of things—holding onto life despite the odds. But life here is merciless. In the first moments of existence, tragedy strikes, and death looms ever closer. A massive, terrifying beast known as the Olf—the embodiment of predatory might—roams the forest, always hungry, always on the hunt. When the child falls, its blood mingling with the waters of the forest, the Olf senses a moment of opportunity. But as fate would have it, an unforeseen interruption alters the course of this night. The Olf’s instincts guide it to hunt again, but something is different. A new cry rings out in the forest, a sound unfamiliar to the creatures who have long known the rhythm of death and silence. A change is coming. In this story of survival, loss, and the unknown, the child must confront not only the dangers of the wilderness but the terrifying mysteries of its own origins. A dark, mysterious journey begins, where every step could lead to salvation or death. What will the child become in this indifferent world—just another casualty, or something far greater? Only time will tell.
