Background story

Ronan, a young boy born into poverty, endures a life of hardship in the unforgiving slums. When tragedy strikes at the age of seven, his parents perish in a devastating factory accident, leaving him and his sister orphaned and adrift.

Seeking refuge, they find themselves in the confines of a crowded orphanage. Within the orphanage's walls, Ronan and his sister weather the storms of life together, forging an unbreakable bond. However, fate once again rears its cruel head. After eight years of shared struggles, Ronan's sister falls gravely ill, ultimately succumbing to a relentless illness. The weight of grief and regret settles heavily on Ronan's young shoulders as he mourns the missed opportunities and the void left by his sister's absence.

Desperate to escape the confines of the orphanage and the haunting memories that linger, fifteen-year-old Ronan embarks on a reckless quest for freedom. In a twist of fate, he unknowingly falls into the clutches of a malevolent scientist. Driven by a twisted hunger for knowledge, the scientist subjects Ronan to horrifying experiments, aiming to mold him into a vessel of unparalleled intellect. Throughout the torturous captivity, Ronan's mind remains haunted by the lingering presence of his sister, the weight of her absence exacerbating his anguish. As the years pass, Ronan's sense of self diminishes, eclipsed by the overwhelming influx of knowledge implanted in his mind. The burden becomes insurmountable, threatening to consume his very essence. And then, in a cataclysmic crescendo, the laboratory erupts in a devastating explosion, obliterating Ronan and everyone trapped within its walls. In Ronan's final moments, engulfed by the inferno, his consciousness teeters on the edge of existence. Thoughts of his sister permeate his fading awareness, mingling with his regret over the life they were never able to share. Amidst the chaos, he utters, "What is that sound? Are those people? Am I—am I out, finally?" But his hopeful thoughts are abruptly cut short as the explosion claims his life, leaving his questions unanswered.

But Ronan's journey does not conclude with death. As consciousness flickers back to life, he awakens to an utterly bewildering reality. Towering above him are colossal beings, giants whose presence instills a deep-seated sense of awe and confusion. Ronan's mind struggles to reconcile this new world with his shattered memories and fragmented understanding. Panic and disorientation grip him as he questions the nature of his existence, grappling with the profound loss of his sister and the enigmatic circumstances that have transported him to this bewildering realm. Amidst his disarray, he mutters, "Shit, are they going to eat me? Please, no. Damn mad man. Did he put me in a baby's body? Crap, this is bad. Just breathe. Breathe. Think. These people look... Is that purple hair? No, that's not important. Oh God, okay, don't panic. Just breathe. Nope, not working. Think... And what is with this house? It looks like a bunch of wood and stones. No, wait. Is that mud? Am I dreaming? Just what the HELL is going on?"
