The sky was dyed black, and the stars began to rise.

Countless stars emerged in orderly rows, illuminating the darkness.

And above them, the crimson hue that had once filled the sky coalesced into an aurora, spreading like a celestial phenomenon.

Then, two massive moons emerged, confirming the arrival of night.

The world itself declared its transformation into night.

And only then did the being, who had kept its eyes tightly shut, finally open them.

"Kuhehehe…."

With a low exhalation, suddenly—

Craaaaaack—!!!

A massive hand burst through the stone ground.

A thick arm flailed wildly, struggling, before dragging its enormous form up from the depths of hardened bedrock.

"Kuhehehehe…."
