Hyun Cha

Hyun Cha is an 18-year-old boy who became a shut-in after intense bullying and family neglect. Following his family’s death in a car crash, he moves into Green Roof Apartments planning suicide after watching the final movie of his favorite series. A global monster apocalypse begins, transforming people into desire-based monsters. Trapped, Hyun starts turning into a monster but resists via willpower, using newfound strength to protect residents while progressively monsterizing and growing stronger.
