The
Beast in Search of Happiness
"No
one has ever loved Erwin Sprock, not even one person."
His
parents have never loved him—not once did they hold his tiny, wrinkled hands,
pat his stooped shoulders, cradle the skinny little boy he was, or call him
'babe'.
Nor
did the caregivers at the orphanage. They never personally handed him a plate
of gruel, dried his mattress soaked by others, or introduced him to any
families longing for affection.
And
Erwin believed it was all because of his dwarfism. Perhaps his appearance
simply didn't deserve love.
But
everyone adored Boomtail, the shining star of the children's fun park!
With
a cheap, heavy animal costume, exaggerated movements, and infectious
laughter, Erwin was loved as Boomtail. Kids clamored to hold his hand, play
games, and be his friend! They ran joyfully beside him, while adults slipped
candies into his pockets. Boomtail was a favorite among all! For the first
time, Erwin felt loved and happy!
The
days of indifference, insults, and loneliness were gone! As Boomtail, Erwin
discovered joy! Each night in his dreams, he looked forward to a new day,
knowing that the moment the fun park opened, children would rush to him,
laughing and screaming, ready to give him a big hug.
But
one day, Erwin didn't get the love he was waiting for as Boomtail.
Everything
changed that day. Love and laughter vanished, replaced by horror, pain,
nightmares, and the loneliness he dreaded the most. Ugly, stooped zombies
tore apart the life he had built. Suddenly, poor Erwin was left with nothing
but himself once again.
But
Erwin would never give in.
Boomtail
would become the bringer of happiness and restore joy to Erwin's life.
His
loyal forest friend is now a fierce zombie killer. He will wipe out the
zombies, bring laughter back to the world, make the crying kids smile again,
and reignite the celebration at the forest fun park.
Ultimately,
he will return all the love to Erwin, the child who feared loneliness.

Story📖 Gen 20 Hero: Xiaowen
Boundary
Challenger
Xiaowen
is an energetic and adventurous Asian girl who constantly plays with danger,
as if she's powered by infinite energy.
Growing
up in a strict Asian family, her childhood was governed by rules, even down
to how she ate. These constraints stifled her restless spirit, and she
yearned for a way to break free.
Everything
changed when she watched a skateboard competition.
She
was captivated by the thrill and freedom the athletes displayed as they sped
up steep slopes and navigated challenges with ease.
In
that moment, Xiaowen realized she had fallen in love with skateboarding. It
was her outlet for self-expression and liberation.
As
she pushed herself to master increasingly difficult tricks, her skills
improved significantly. The typical street skateboarding challenges soon lost
their appeal, so she began to seek out more dangerous stunts for the
adrenaline rush. The more perilous the environment, the more exhilarated she
felt.
Mountain
slope skateboarding, a highly challenging feat, caught Xiaowen's eye. Skating
at high speed down rugged mountain paths, with every turn a brush with death,
was the ultimate rush for Xiaowen. One wrong move, and you'd be off the
cliff, but that danger only drew her in.
Once,
a minor mistake sent her tumbling down the slope, leaving her severely
injured. It was a terrifying scene, and everyone around her panicked. But
Xiaowen remained unfazed and wiped the blood from her face. Adrenaline
surging, she got back on her board and completed the run, leaving a bloody
trail behind her.
Perhaps
she was just born this way!
Born
to find pleasure on the edge of danger!
And
to break her limits again and again!
This
is how Xiaowen wants to leave her mark in this world!
After
the zombie virus outbreak, she discovered a new kind of extreme sport:
weaving through hordes of zombies on her modified skateboard. The infected is
no match for her speed and agility. Skating past them unscathed, she feels a
rush of satisfaction from outpacing death itself.
Over
time, Xiaowen earned the nickname "Daredevil" among survivors. Her
bravery left many in awe, though they also worried about her recklessness.
People often warn her to be more careful, but Xiaowen, true to her nature,
pays no mind to their concerns. To them, she is a wild spirit, always chasing
the next thrill.

Story📖 Gen 20 Hero: Stacy
The
One and Only Queen
Stacy
can be best described as fashionable, powerful, and beautiful.
Before
the apocalypse, she was a world-renowned professional wrestler known for her
attitude and coolness. After winning the state women's freestyle wrestling
championship with her gorgeous skills and fierce attack style, she quickly
made a splash in the fashion and beauty industries, starting a global craze.
People
adored Stacy, but there were also those filled with jealousy and doubt, some
even resorting to slander. Yet, she simply tossed her hair and responded with
another triumph.
However,
many didn't know that this champion athlete and fashion icon was once a
skinny little girl living in a slum. With fierce ambition in her eyes, she
vowed to escape her circumstances and reach the pinnacle of success. She
started as a nobody, but she believed she could become someone extraordinary.
Tough
yet determined, she entered the wrestling ring and embraced a world where
only the strong could survive.
At
first, she wasn't the strongest, fastest or smartest among wrestlers, but she
was undoubtedly the toughest. Stacy trained relentlessly, pushing herself to
lift unbearable weights. Though she earned little, she spent all her money on
protein supplements, forcing herself to gulp them down before diving back
into training to forget the pain of competition. Within a year, she was
defeating male wrestlers of the same weight with ease.
Step
by step, she climbed higher, distancing herself from her past, and eventually
became the queen of wrestling.
After
the apocalypse, no matter how glorious her past was, it seemed irrelevant.
But Stacy wasn't disheartened by the world's collapse. Her past constantly
reminded her that she could always start anew. All she needed to do was stand
up and prepare for the next challenge.
Now,
she's filled with passion and ready to conquer a new world.
