Two lights in the darkness
EP 1. Pandora's Box
This story is,
It goes back to the time when the gods created the world and gave birth to the first human beings.
The gods, who wanted to create the first human woman and bring her into the world, created a woman named "Pandora" and breathed life into her.
The Olympian gods each gave Pandora a gift: Apollo gave her wisdom, Aphrodite gave her beauty, and Hermes gave her curiosity.
And Zeus gave Pandora a small box and made her promise never to open it.
Despite the other gods' doubts, Zeus had Hermes send Pandora down to the human world.
Pandora, overcome by curiosity, opened the box Zeus had given her.
The box, which was thought to be filled with only good things, was filled with all kinds of disasters, such as greed, disease, jealousy, and hatred.
It is said that Pandora, startled, hurriedly closed the lid of the box, but in the end, only hope at the very bottom remained.
In this way, disasters were sown in the human world, and humans were infected by them, and they fought and stole each other's belongings, and even committed murder.
Zeus decided that he could not leave the ruined human world as it was, so he summoned Erebos, the god of darkness, and gave him an order...
- Temple of Olympus -
에레보스
Did you call, Zeus?
제우스
Erebus...
제우스
The human world is ruined. I shouldn't have given Pandora the box...
에레보스
...Then what are you going to do?
제우스
...
제우스
Bring down the darkness.
제우스
A pitch-black darkness that makes it impossible to see even an inch ahead.
에레보스
...darkness...you mean?
제우스
Yes. It was my mistake that the human world became like this.
제우스
Since you caused a disaster, you should give a corresponding compensation.
에레보스
What good will it do for humans to bring darkness?
제우스
...
제우스
There are two people.
제우스
Only two humans untouched by the disaster...
에레보스
...
Erebus, under Zeus' command, descended to the human world.
The humans were still stealing, being torn apart, and fighting, and Erebus sighed, as if he understood Zeus' words a little.
Then he floated into the sky, took a deep breath, and then exhaled roughly.
At that moment, black smoke poured out along with Erebos's exhalation, and in a matter of minutes, the human world was plunged into pitch-black darkness.
"What... what?!!"
"It's God!!! God is angry!!!"
에레보스
...
Erebus, floating in the air, was lost in thought.
에레보스
'If things continue like this, it will be difficult to even find my own home, let alone receive compensation.'
에레보스
'What on earth was your plan when you ordered darkness to fall?'
Erebus had many doubts, but since he had completed his mission, he immediately ascended to the sky and went to Zeus.
에레보스
Darkness has descended. No light will penetrate.
제우스
Well done. Go away.
에레보스
Yes, then.
After Erebus had left, Zeus dressed himself and prepared to descend to the human world.
제우스
...I hope my judgment wasn't wrong.
"Hey... what the hell is going on?"
루케온
Don't worry, Mother. The light will return soon.
In a house where no light shines, there is a young man trying to comfort his anxious mother.
This young man's name is Luceon. He is a good-natured young man who lives alone with his mother.
He was one of the only two humans in the human world who were not affected by the disaster.
"God... God is angry. How could this happen..."
루케온
I told you it'll be okay. Don't worry, Mom. Take care. I'll look for something that can illuminate the light.
"No matter what you search for, it won't work."
루케온
...?
The moment Luceon stood up, a voice came from the air.
And then I felt a noise, as if someone had entered the house.
루케온
Who... who are you?!!
"...I am,"
제우스
It's Zeus.

Zeus / King of the Gods / God of the Sky / Weapon: Lightning
