Synopsis
Traumatized shut-in Seyoung, isolated for years after brutal school attack, discovers life-changing mystery on his rooftop.
At Nungwang Middle School, Seyoung suffered a brutal attack by his classmates that left him hospitalized for months. Upon awakening, he discovers his world has been shattered by tragedy, leaving him with deep emotional scars and a profound distrust of society. Overwhelmed by trauma, Seyoung withdraws completely from the outside world, becoming a shut-in who hasn't left his home since the incident. Years pass as Seyoung remains isolated in his room, disconnected from the changing world beyond his walls. His days blur together in a cycle of survival and solitude, until one ordinary day when an inexplicable sound draws his attention. Following this mysterious call leads him to his rooftop, where he encounters something extraordinary that will change the course of his life forever.
After being beat up and put into a coma by eight of his classmates at Nungwang Middle School, Seyoung woke up after nine long months and found out that his father committed suicide by self-immolation in an attempt to get justice for what happened to him. As a result, the investigation re-opened and that attackers who tried to sweep it under the rug received a proper sentence for their crimes. But Seyoung was unable to assuage the anger and fear he felt for the unjust world. Seyoung thoroughly hid himself from this sort of world. The sun would rise and set, the seasons changed, and not once did he step outside of his home. But one day, a sudden and strange sound enticed him to open the door... Embedded in the center of the rooftop was a gigantic blade emblazoned with the words "War Sword" and with it, came the whispers of a God.
