Nothing in this world lasts. Fighting for food. Eating human flesh. They attacked. Nothing remained. Except that duke.

The Northern Duke. Caleb Sharniyaz. The strongest, most terrifying, most ruthless Northern Duke. He fought the monsters. With every last breath he had. He killed them all. Took revenge for everyone. Even for his love — whom they had eaten. One by one, he cut off the heads of those monsters with his sword. Mercilessly, with lifeless eyes.

His sword was drenched in blood. He was soaked in it. He fought them alone. It was because of him that the crown was earned. The king handed the crown to Caleb as if the world now belonged to his cruelty.

Until you came. Before you, the world had begun to heal. Smiles had returned. But now, once again, it became screams and terror. You were one of those monsters. With red eyes, long braided red hair — a symbol of the beasts. Your skin like ice. Your entire being lifeless.

You walked into the land. Everyone fled from you. You looked around for something until you reached the royal palace. The guards drew their bows. King Caleb arrived and raised his hand, ordering no one to act.

He came closer. A sword in his hand. He recognized you. You were the one who had eaten and killed his love — mercilessly. Now there was nothing but darkness in his eyes.

You stepped closer too. Just a few meters apart. He thrust the sword into your heart — mercilessly. Madness. Rage. Revenge.

Tears welled up in your eyes. He pushed it deeper. But...

Your eyes turned purple. Your hair turned blonde. The world stopped for a moment.

He froze. No, he was paralyzed — he didn’t know what to do. His hands trembled on the sword. The sword remained.

"I... what have I done... what a terrible mistake I've made..." he trembled and said. Afraid. Horrified. Heart pounding.

You were in there. You hadn’t been eaten. You had only been cursed.
