Ao Hang can't swim.
But when a girl fell into the river, with the rescue kit locked away and the lifeline rotting, while everyone else stood there filming on their phones, he still jumped in.
The girl survived.
But a maliciously edited video turned him into a cold-blooded bystander, reviled across the internet.
His school suspended classes.
His address was exposed.
Everyone pressured him to bow his head and apologize.
No one knew.
At the very moment Ao Hang sank beneath the river, a dark stone statue buried for thirty million years opened its eyes.
Daigu inherited the light left behind by Tiga.
What Ao Hang received was the other half of Tiga's essence, abandoned in the darkness.
When monsters descended again, everyone who had once cursed Ao Hang began praying for a giant to appear.
Ao Hang gripped the black Spark Lence.
But he forgave no one.
"I'm not here to forgive you."
"I'm here to kill monsters."
This is the story of someone who wields darkness, yet refuses to belong to it.
It is also the story of the world's second Tiga.
I personally think it's quite beautiful.
