Chapter 18 - 'HISTORY'{18}

Hyungulli Era

🌌 Opening Narration

Narrator:Before humans learned to fear monsters…monsters learned to fear themselves.

🏛️ Scene 1: Monsteria Before the Fall

The world is vast, untamed.

Monsteria in its prime:

Titans walking freely

Intelligent beasts speaking philosophy

Skies split by flying leviathans

Cities grown from bone, crystal, and living stone

This is not chaos.

This is order of another kind.

Among them walks one monster apart from the rest.

đź§  Scene 2: The Thinker of Flesh

His name is Vael'Korah, later erased from history.

He is tall, lean, horned — not built for war.

His eyes glow not with rage, but curiosity.

Vael'Korah studies dying beasts.

He notices something unnatural.

Inside a fallen monster, something writhes.

🩸 Scene 3: Discovery of the Monster Womb

Vael'Korah cuts carefully.

Within the corpse, he finds it:

A Monster Womb — small, pulsating, alive.

It reacts to him.

Not attacking.

Listening.

Vael'Korah (whispering):"You're not a creature…you're a seed."

The Narrator speaks:

Narrator:Monster Wombs were not monsters.They were potential — fragments of Monsteria's will to evolve.

đź§Ş Scene 4: The First Experiment

Vael'Korah places the Womb into a dying beast.

The creature survives.

Stronger. Faster. Smarter.

But then…

The Womb takes control.

The beast screams as its mind fractures.

Vael'Korah watches in horror.

Vael'Korah:"You don't coexist.You consume."

⚠️ Scene 5: The Fatal Flaw

More experiments.

Animals.

Intelligent monsters.

Captured invaders from other realms.

Every time:

Without restraint → the host is erased

The Womb cannot survive alone

When removed → both die

The Narrator continues:

Narrator:Monster Wombs could not grow independently.They required vessels…and those vessels rarely survived.

🔥 Scene 6: The Birth of the Brand

Vael'Korah refuses to destroy his discovery.

Instead, he forges a solution.

Using:

His own blood

Ancient sigils

Living metal drawn from Monsteria's core

He creates the first Brand.

A mark burned into flesh.

The next host survives.

The Womb calms.

The Brand subdues it.

Vael'Korah collapses, exhausted.

Vael'Korah (smiling weakly):"A cage…but a merciful one."

👹 Scene 7: Monster Forms Explained

But something unexpected happens.

When the host is injured…When rage erupts…

The Womb pushes against the Brand.

The host transforms.

Bones bend.

Flesh reshapes.

Power explodes outward.

The monster survives.

Stronger than before.

The Narrator explains:

Narrator:Pain awakened the Womb.Rage fed it.And thus… the Monster Form was born.

⚔️ Scene 8: The Hyungulli Schism

News spreads.

Some monsters praise Vael'Korah.

Others call him a heretic.

"You are chaining our evolution!""You are turning us into weapons!"

War breaks out.

Monster against monster.

Vael'Korah watches his creation used not for survival…but domination.

🌌 Scene 9: The Watching Gods

Above Monsteria, The Worshipped observe.

They see:

Controlled evolution

Monsters no longer burning themselves out

Power becoming sustainable

They are afraid.

Narrator:The Worshipped did not fear monsters.They feared what monsters were becoming.

🌑 Scene 10: Vael'Korah's Last Decision

Vael'Korah seals his research.

He destroys his laboratories.

He scatters Brands across the world.

Vael'Korah:"If evolution must be chained…let it be by choice, not conquest."

He looks toward the land that will one day become The Garden.

Vael'Korah (softly):"Forgive me."

🕳️ Scene 11: The Banishment Begins

The sky cracks.

Realms tear open.

Monsters are dragged screaming into exile.

Vael'Korah is struck down — not killed, but erased from history.

His name lost.

Only his creations remain.

🌿 Closing Narration

Narrator:The Brands survived.The Monster Wombs endured.The Garden was seeded.

And humanity would one day call it a curse…

Narrator:…without ever knowing it was a solution first.
