Volume 0 — "Promise in the Flames"

Boom...

The robot had entered its self-destruct mode, destroying itself and beginning to blow up the laboratory.

The laboratory exploded, and the surroundings began to catch fire.

The weak boy regained consciousness.

He had fainted for a short while and had only just woken up.

When he looked around, he saw that Eldos and Erzhan had already died.

They had been crushed beneath fallen rocks.

As for Ayazhan...

The lower half of Ayazhan's body was trapped beneath a huge piece of concrete.

Without thinking, the weak boy got up and tried to save Ayazhan.

However, he wasn't strong enough to save her.

He couldn't even move the concrete, let alone lift it.

He was too weak.

He simply didn't have enough strength.

He was furious that he couldn't save Ayazhan.

He was furious with himself.

Ayazhan didn't want to see the weak boy crying.

Tears had not yet reached the weak boy's eyes.

Ayazhan smiled slightly.

Despite the unbearable pain, she endured it.

The enormous piece of concrete was crushing the lower half of her body, and she could barely speak through the pain in a trembling voice.

"You... you must never... cry.

"Even if you want to cry... you won't cry thinking about us...

"From now on... whenever you remember what happened here, you won't cry for us.

"Promise me..."

Ayazhan paused for a moment because of the pain in her legs.

Then she continued in a trembling voice.

"This isn't your fault...

"Promise me...

"You won't ever remember these events and cry because of what happened here, thinking about us and your late mother... promise me...

"If you truly... truly respect us.

"We all love you.

"I'm sure... your mother wouldn't want you to become sad either.

"Can I tell you something...

"I've been watching you for a long time...

"I love you, and I saw everything.

"Everything...

"And now, go..."

After saying her final words, Ayazhan closed her eyes.

The weak boy blamed himself.

He struggled to hold himself together without crying.

Then he finally escaped from the burning laboratory.

And when he came outside...

Kaisar was there.

Kaisar stood there, looking both angry and shocked.

With an angry expression, Kaisar raised his voice slightly.

"You... you're responsible for all of this... It's because of you..."

He shouted.

Then he calmed down slightly and spoke in a cold voice filled with hatred.

"If you had never met us... I will hate you for the rest of my life..."

Kaisar, consumed by rage, entered the burning laboratory and jumped into the flames.

The weak boy desperately reached out his hand, trying to grab him and stop him.

But he couldn't.

He was too late.

The weak boy began blaming himself and growing angry with himself again.

The weak boy's personal servant, Mr. Azamat, had learned that Rasul had thrown the weak boy out of the house.

Feeling sorry for the weak boy, Mr. Azamat had quit his job himself and gone looking for him.

He eventually found the weak boy...

And witnessed this scene.

The weak boy became completely cold.

He stood there with an emotionless expression.

He was completely broken.

Now, he even hated himself.

The weak boy spoke with a cold expression and a cold voice.

"Mentor... tell me...

"Can you protect the people who are precious to you?

"I don't want to lose anything anymore."

Mr. Azamat calmly answered in a calm voice.

"Yes, you can...

"But for that, you need strength..."

The weak boy replied.

"Strength...

"Good.

"Then I'll do whatever it takes to obtain it..."
