The story opened in a lightless building.
Young children and elderly people were captured by evil forces and sold to the Dark Magic Cult. Enslaved, they labored day and night in this lightless place.
To keep the slaves from thinking of escape, the guards gave them only a little food and barely let them rest.
But where there was oppression, there was resistance.
Faced with a cruel fate, a red-haired girl among the slaves began to dream of fighting the guards and leading everyone to freedom. A blue-haired boy supported her.
The two children's unyielding spirits brought hope to others who had suffered the same misfortune, like a glimmer of light appearing in the darkness.
But how much of the darkness could such a faint light really illuminate?
Their attempts to escape and resist failed time and again. As their leader, the girl endured inhuman torture many times. Once, the guards even cruelly blinded her in her right eye.
After their final failed escape, the boy chose to take the punishment in place of the battered girl. Before leaving, he quietly urged her not to give up.
To free everyone and save the boy, the red-haired girl and her companions launched one last revolt, ready to risk everything.
All the enslaved people fought desperately against the guards who had enslaved them. But the difference in strength was overwhelming, and the slaves suffered heavy casualties. Even the old man who cared most for the children died saving the girl.
The sight of her companions falling one after another tormented the girl. Her mental anguish awakened her magic, allowing her to turn the tide and win.
But when she went to save the boy, she found that after enduring who knew what kind of torture, the gentle boy had become utterly cruel.
