A story of revenge awakened after millennia
In the past, during the development of advanced civilizations, a war engulfed the world. Among the numerous weapons created, an autonomous weapon resembling a young girl was completed. Her arms could crack the earth like a whip, demolishing any building in her path, and her red eyes mercilessly killed people one after another. This girl was called “Holly” by the people and, due to her overwhelming power, she was sealed deep within the earth. After tens of thousands of years, upon awakening from her slumber in the dark magical ruins, the only emotion she Holly felt was an overwhelming hatred towards humans. “Humanity, perish.” Although her weapon functions have been degraded and she can now only lightly damage the floor or walls, Holly’s vendetta against the upper world has just begun.
