It was night.
In a small forest of the Nepal Kingdom, outside a cave, Mass stood silently.
In front of him—
Thousands of Oni were kneeling on the ground.
On his left side sat the Oni God, Kazama, and on his right side sat the Oni Goddess, Ichan.
Mass looked down at the army before him.
His eyes were filled with anger.
Mass:
"My family… and the people of my village… were killed."
"I don't know who did it."
"But I will destroy the entire world if I have to."
"Those who killed my loved ones… I will kill them."
The forest became silent.
No one spoke for a moment.
Then—
Kazama slowly opened his mouth.
Kazama:
"Lord Mass… I don't think that would be the right decision."
Mass looked at him calmly.
Mass:
"Why?"
Kazama bowed slightly before answering.
Kazama:
"Because if you destroy the world for revenge, many innocent people will die."
"That would not be right."
He continued respectfully.
Kazama:
"I'm not saying that your revenge is wrong."
"But please think about it."
"If someone destroys an innocent person's family… the same way yours was destroyed…"
"Would that be right?"
Kazama lowered his head.
Kazama:
"I hope you understand what I mean."
Before Mass could answer, Ichan spoke.
Ichan:
"Sorry to interrupt."
She looked at Mass.
Ichan:
"Lord Mass… this revenge is not only yours."
"It is also the revenge of the Oni."
Her eyes darkened.
Ichan:
"And we also seek revenge against the Ogres who sealed us inside that whistle."
Then she smiled gently.
Ichan:
"But thanks to that… we were able to meet you, Lord Mass."
Mass thought about their words.
After a moment, he nodded.
Mass:
"I see…"
"I think you're right."
His expression hardened again.
Mass:
"Then first we will find the one responsible."
"And then we will kill him."
Every Oni bowed their heads.
All Oni:
"Yes, Lord Mass!"
Mass looked at the whistle in his hand.
Mass:
"By the way… how does this whistle work?"
Ichan answered.
Ichan:
"To use it, you must put your blood on it."
"The one whose blood binds to the whistle is the only one who can use it."
Mass nodded.
Mass:
"I see."
Kazama then explained further.
Kazama:
"A thousand years ago, the Ogre Lord sealed us inside this whistle through deception."
"He then hid it somewhere."
"There was also a rule placed on the seal."
"Whoever frees us from the whistle…"
"We must serve them as loyal servants."
He bowed respectfully.
Kazama:
"That is why we serve you, Lord Mass."
Mass looked impressed.
Mass:
"Oh ho…"
He seemed strangely excited.
But suddenly—
One of the Oni Lords spoke.
Akuma:
"I apologize for interrupting the conversation between the Oni Gods and our ruler."
Mass blinked.
Mass (thinking):
"Ruler… huh."
Akuma continued.
Akuma:
"I think we should move to another place."
He gestured toward the surrounding Oni.
Akuma:
"The Oni maids, butlers, and civilians cannot survive long in this cold environment."
Ichan nodded.
Ichan:
"You're right, Akuma."
Akuma bowed.
Akuma:
"Thank you, my goddess."
Ichan turned to Mass.
Ichan:
"If you give permission, Lord Mass."
Mass looked confused.
Mass:
"Ah— yeah, sure! Do it!"
Then he whispered quietly.
Mass:
"…What are you going to do?"
Kazama and Ichan stood up.
Both raised their hands forward.
Kazama spoke.
Kazama:
"Lord Mass, where shall we go?"
Mass thought for a moment.
Mass:
"Let's go to Mount Land."
Kazama nodded.
Kazama:
"Yes, Lord Mass."
Suddenly—
A bright light began glowing in their hands.
The light grew brighter.
And in the next moment—
Mass and all the Oni vanished.
Mount Land
A vast desolate land appeared.
The ground was filled with craters and holes.
Broken trees and shattered rocks were scattered everywhere.
Mountains could be seen in the distance—
But many of them were broken in half.
Some had their upper halves missing, while others had entire sides destroyed.
There were no lakes.
No forests.
Only pools of lava glowing across the land.
Suddenly—
Mass and the Oni appeared in the middle of that wasteland.
Mass (thinking):
"Teleportation…!"
The Oni looked around in confusion.
Random Oni:
"What happened here?"
Another Oni:
"What happened in the last thousand years for Mount Land to become like this?"
Third Oni:
"Why did Lord Mass bring us here?"
Whispers spread through the crowd.
Then—
The Oni King, Mago, stepped forward.
Mago:
"Silence! Silence!"
The Oni immediately quieted down.
Mago:
"If Lord Mass brought us here, there must be a reason."
Mass suddenly laughed.
Mass:
"Hehehe…"
"Well… yeah."
He spread his arms.
Mass:
"I thought we should start a new beginning here."
"Let's build our own territory."
Ichan clapped happily.
Ichan:
"Oh! What a wonderful idea!"
Gorath nodded.
Gorath:
"That is indeed a great idea, Lord Mass."
Mass smiled proudly.
Mass:
"Thank you."
Kazama stepped forward.
Kazama:
"Then let us begin."
"How would you like your territory to be created?"
Mass thought for a moment.
Then answered.
Mass:
"Like a tower."
Kazama smiled.
Kazama:
"As you wish, Lord Mass."
Immediately, the Oni began working.
The three Oni Lords and the two Oni Gods began constructing the tower.
Meanwhile—
Oni Mages, Holy Oni, and Dark Oni began flattening the land.
Oni Blacksmiths and other Oni explored the surrounding area.
Oni Warriors and Healing Oni stood beside Mass along with the Oni King and the Seven Princes.
Only three minutes later—
A massive tower stood before them.
It was around 400 meters tall.
The entrance door alone was 30 meters high.
The tower's colors were black, purple, and white.
Zenkai stepped forward.
Zenkai:
"Milord, this tower is called the Tower of Ancient."
"It contains 150 floors."
As he explained, the tower's interior was shown.
Zenkai:
"The lowest 40 floors are for monsters."
"You can store your beasts and monster pets there."
"The next 10 floors are for the Oni Warriors."
"Above that, 20 floors are for the Oni Mages."
"The next 10 floors are empty and provide beautiful views."
"Several upper floors are also for Oni residents."
He pointed upward.
Zenkai:
"And the 150th floor…"
"Belongs only to you."
Mass nodded.
Mass:
"I see."
Zenkai:
"Your throne room, bedroom, and other chambers are located there."
Mass smiled.
Mass:
"Then let's go."
Soon Mass and the others entered the tower.
Meanwhile, outside—
The Oni mages continued transforming the land.
They created grass, trees, and walls around the territory.
Inside the Throne Room.
Mass stood near the throne.
Thousands of Oni knelt before him again.
Mass raised his hand.
Mass:
"You may rise now."
The Oni stood up.
Soon everyone left to begin their duties.
Only Kazama and Ichan remained.
Ichan spoke first.
Ichan:
"Lord Mass, we still need many things."
"For example… skilled workers."
"Our blacksmiths are good, but they are not as skilled as Dwarves."
Mass nodded.
Mass:
"Dwarves, huh?"
"Then I will talk to the Dwarf King."
Kazama smiled slightly.
Kazama:
"Milord, you don't need to go anywhere."
Mass looked confused.
Kazama:
"Whenever you wish to go somewhere…"
"This tower can move."
Mass's eyes widened.
Mass:
"This tower is movable?!"
Kazama nodded.
Kazama:
"Yes, Milord."
Mass looked impressed.
Mass:
"I see."
He waved his hand.
Mass:
"You two should go and rest."
Both bowed.
Kazama & Ichan:
"As you wish, Lord Mass."
They turned to leave.
Mass looked at the DEGO Whistle in his hand.
Mass (thinking):
"So Oni appeared step by step…"
"First warriors…"
"Then healers…"
"Then mages…"
"Then princes, king, lords…"
"And finally the gods and goddess…"
He looked curious.
Mass:
"I wonder…"
"What will appear this time?"
Mass blew the whistle again.
Suddenly—
A dark aura burst out of the whistle.
Kazama and Ichan turned around instantly.
Ichan:
"Lord Mass!"
A powerful dark light spread through the throne room.
Then—
From the darkness—
An Oni Disaster appeared.
Kazama's face turned serious.
Kazama:
"Oh no…"
The two gods rushed toward Mass.
But suddenly—
The whistle shattered and disappeared.
The Oni Disaster walked toward Mass.
Then—
He suddenly knelt.
He grabbed Mass's leg and kissed it repeatedly.
Oni Disaster:
"Milord! Milord! Milord!"
"I am your most loyal servant!"
"I am IZA — Oni Disaster!"
Kazama and Ichan froze.
Kazama & Ichan:
"…Huh?" -_-
Mass (thinking):
"What is wrong with this Oni…?!"
A few minutes later.
Mass stood in front of Ichan, Kazama, and Iza.
Mass:
"…So what's going on?"
Iza bowed.
Iza:
"Lord Mass, we have decided to give you something for your protection."
Mass crossed his arms.
Mass:
"And what is that?"
Ichan answered.
Ichan:
"We call it COHE."
Mass looked confused.
Mass:
"What is that?"
Kazama explained.
Kazama:
"A core that will protect you."
Suddenly—
Iza placed his hand on Mass's chest.
Iza:
"Core of Darkness — ZAI."
A black dark core appeared on the upper left side of Mass's chest.
Then Kazama raised his hand.
Kazama:
"Core of Fighter — ZAMAKA."
A red and silver core appeared on the right side of Mass's chest.
Then Ichan spoke.
Ichan:
"Core of Mage — NICHA."
A blue and purple core appeared in the center of Mass's chest.
Ichan smiled.
Ichan:
"Lord Mass, as long as these three cores remain intact, you cannot die."
Kazama added.
Kazama:
"These cores will also grant you the power to fight."
Iza grinned.
Iza:
"And your stamina will never easily run out."
"Whatever you wish to do in this world…"
"Even your revenge…"
"You will have the strength to achieve it."
Mass's body suddenly floated into the air.
Red.
Silver.
Blue.
Purple.
Black.
Dark energy surrounded him.
A small shockwave burst outward.
Then the glow faded.
The throne room returned to silence.
And the scene slowly faded to black.
