The sages raise people like poison insects in a jar, treating a small town as their vessel and keeping its inhabitants caged. Everyone born in the town is given a heart unlike any other by the sages. As their time grows short, the sages are bitterly disappointed and decide to destroy the town and kill its people.
The power of Heaven's will bears down, crushing everything in its path. Everyone gives their all to withstand its overwhelming might. The forsaken young man whom no one believed in grows stronger on his own, breaking free of his shell and emerging transformed.
