Kang Jihyoung wanted to become a hunter for his mother. Not for fame. Not for glory. Just to give her a better life. A simple dream for a boy who loved the woman who raised him.
Then his bullies took everything.
They put his mother into a vegetative state. A shell. A body with no soul. The woman he wanted to protect, gone in an instant while her heart still beat.
Jihyoung tried to take revenge. He went after them with nothing but rage and trembling hands. They crushed him. Beat him. Broke him. And then they trapped him, leaving him in a darkness that should have been his grave.
The boy who lost everything became something else. Not a hunter. Not a victim. Not even a man seeking justice.
A beast.
And the beast began his hunt.
Now Kang Jihyoung stalks the world that broke him. His bullies think they are safe. They think they won. They think the boy they crushed stayed crushed.
They are about to learn that some monsters are created, not born. And the ones who create them rarely survive the lesson.
