Darkness slowly fades into light.
Colors begin to return to the world, one by one. The earth turns gently, welcoming another morning. The sky stretches wide, calm and silent.
Then—slowly—a soft, peaceful sound spreads through the air. Silence seems to answer:
"Tell me… because I accept humans as living beings. A peaceful life built by us—yet we fight among ourselves, forget peace, and pursue power."
The world darkens slightly.
"What a shame this is. In the past, we forgot who we were fighting for, and we forgot why it started."
Then, softly: "It was good once… and it was meant to stay that way."
A peaceful sound spreads through the air. The world is full of confusion: anxiety, fear, peace, hope—all of them coexist. Nothing is completely pure, and nothing is completely evil.
"Hello," says the world of contradiction. "I am not important. What matters is what I do, what I believe, and what I seek. I am going to tell you a story—not about lies, but about the truth."
You see forests, seas, mountains, and endless lands. Animals live, humans struggle, and time keeps moving forward. From space, everything looks peaceful. But peace is fragile. If you look closely at this beautiful creation, you may begin to wonder: IsGod's creation truly perfect?
If you see suffering, hatred, and injustice—if you see humans killing humans—then a question naturally arises in your mind. Why must the weak bow to the powerful? Why does peace feel temporary?
I do not hate God. I just have a question. I am a human, living in a peaceful world—yet this peace feels borrowed, not earned. We smile, but inside we are fighting. We agree, we promise, and yet we betray. We say we want peace, but we prepare for war. Still, we continue to move forward, fighting for good, fighting for meaning, fighting for freedom.
And so, this story begins. Not with anger, not with hatred, but with a smile.
The world was quiet. A peaceful land slowly revealed itself as the darkness faded. Birds flew freely across the sky, animals moved calmly through the forest, and the air felt gentle and warm. A boy stood among them. He was playing with the animals, laughing softly, his face full of calm and wonder. His eyes shone with innocence, and for a moment, the world felt complete.
But suddenly—a shadow crept forward. Darkness swallowed the light. Fear rushed toward him. The storm began. The boy screamed.
"No… no matter what happens to me now!"
His eyes snapped open. He was awake. It was only a dream.
Morning light filled the room as he slowly sat up in his bed. After a moment of silence, he stood, washed his face, and went to have breakfast. At the dining table, the boy sat quietly eating while his mother spoke gently. After some time, he looked up.
"Mom… I've been thinking about some things for many days."
His mother smiled softly. "What is it? Tell me, Leaf Delta."
That was when we learned his name—Leaf Delta. He sighed. "Why do you always call me by my full name? It's so boring."
His mother chuckled. "You don't understand yet. Your full name is your honour, and your surname is your clan identity. Respect is something we earn from society."
Leaf nodded slowly, then hesitated. "Mom… when will Dad come back? I haven't seen him for many years. The last time I saw him, I was seven. Now I'm fifteen."
His mother's smile faded. "Yes... I think he will come soon. You must understand that your father is the chief of the C-Delta army. So he rarely gets time. I believe he has only one leave left."
Leaf looked down at his plate. His appetite vanished. After a moment, he stood up.
"Mom, I am going to school now."
He picked up his bag and walked toward the door.
"Bye, Mom."
"Take care of yourself," she replied.
"Okay, bye."
And with that, Leaf stepped outside—unaware that his quiet life was about to change forever.
"Hi, now let me guess you are thinking about what C-Phi and C-Deltaare. In this world, there are eight countries and four oceans: Blue Lake, Red Lake, Dream Lake, and True Lake. From these countries and oceans, many evil minds are planning something terrible—to rule or destroy this world. But now something even more dangerous is moving around this world."
Now, on the way to school, some bullies came and started to bully Leaf.
"Hey, you useless brat," the bullies said. They pushed Leaf and tried to punch him. They did this many times, so Leaf punched one of them in self-defense.
The boy who faced Leaf's punch said, "I see you… Be ready to face Neon."
When Leaf heard the name Neon, he fell into fear. He felt this way because Neon is the son of the C-Delta head chief—the first son. With his father's power in the system, he could destroy someone's life even for fun. Neon is famous in C-Delta for his violent nature. After all of this, Leaf reached the school with a fear of death.
Then he entered the classroom and studied nicely from the first to the fourth period. But when recess started, Leaf saw Neon and his servant-like classmates bullying a girl from his class named Moon. Everyone watched, but even the teacher said nothing.
Then Leaf stepped in and told Neon to leave her alone. He was ready to fight, but Neon punched Leaf in the face.
After punching him, Neon said, "What do you think? I didn't do anything to you for punching them because I don't like to move between them and you. But when you interfere, I'll teach you a lesson."
After the punch, Leaf fell to the floor, bleeding.
The girl he saved asked, "Why did you help me?"
Leaf smiled and said, "I want everyone to live with peace and freedom. I will help people no matter what happens to me next."
After saying this, he smiled. The girl was shocked. She wondered who could smile in such a situation. She took him to the school medical room.
After school, they both started going home. On their way, Moon was thinking about how to thank him. Then they reached Moon's home, and Leaf said, "Bye, Moon. Meet you tomorrow."
After saying this, Leaf went toward his home. To thank him, Moon followed Leaf. But then she noticed Leaf was not going home. He was going to the nearby forest.
After reaching there, Leaf started playing with the birds and animals.
"I saw you following me," Leaf said.
Moon was surprised; Leaf had already noticed her long ago. Moon came forward, thanked him properly, and spent some time with Leaf. Moon enjoyed the cool breeze in the forest.
While sitting there, they felt a strange but pleasant peace. Moon looked at him and asked,
"Leaf… where were you even going? You looked so helpless. Why do you smile like that, even when you don't care if you get hurt? Please explain."
Leaf smiled softly and said,
"I helped you because I am just like them. I don't really know how to explain it. I just felt sorry."
Moon was confused.
"What? You don't know why you saved me?"
"Wait, wait. I will tell you," Leaf said, but in another way.
"Okay, then tell me. I really want to know why you saved me," Moon said.
Leaf then stood up and said in a serious voice,
"Just look at your face."
Moon blinked.
"Huh? My face?"
"In your misery," Leaf said quietly.
"Then?" Moon asked.
"Then I saw something like joy on your face," Leaf said.
After that, it started getting late, and they reached Moon's home.
"Bye. I am getting late. You should go home too," Moon said.
Leaf then stood up and said in a serious voice,
"Just look at your face."
Moon blinked.
"Huh? My face?"
"In your misery," Leaf said quietly.
"Then?" Moon asked.
"Then I saw something like joy on your face," Leaf said.
After that, it started getting late, and they reached Moon's home.
"Bye. I am getting late. You should go home too," Moon said.
"Okay, bye, Moon," Leaf said, and then he ran away.
"Okay, then bye. Come tomorrow to school. What? Wait, you idiot!" Moon said angrily, but he ran away before she could catch him.
Leaf ran from there and said, "See you tomorrow in school."
Moon then came back home. She was thinking about Leaf and what he said.
Moon thought about what Leaf told her and remembered that he wanted everyone to live with peace and freedom, with kindness and smiling in their life to make others happy.
Suddenly, she remembered what Leaf said to her:
"That is my dream."
Moon then smiled and decided to help Leaf in his journey.
In bed, Moon was thinking about what Leaf told her, what he considered, and why he smiled. She said she was going to think about it more.
Moon was thinking about Leaf and smiling. When she was smiling, she remembered Leaf telling her that he didn't explain why and instead told her to just see her smile.
Moon whispered,
"That's why… he smiled and insisted on explaining. He told me not to think too much because he loves smiling."
