The Myth of Rock by Nathan Cho

Long time ago, when the land-masses of the earth were attached altogether, the earth was ruled by 4 different gods who had different characteristics: the god of fire, water, air, and lastly, the god of all, Balboa. Balboa was the leader of gods who could do anything. He was especially known for his extreme care for his beautiful daughter, Helena. Because of Balboa’s extraordinary care, Helena had to meet her boyfriend, Gabriel, surreptitiously. Balboa disliked Gabriel because, although he was a young man with integrity and a great heart, he was a poor farm boy who lost his parents at an early age. However, both Helena and Gabriel loved each other so much that they could not abstain from seeing each other everyday.

One day, Balboa was pondering about how he could make Gabriel disappear forever from his daughter’s sight. After long consideration, he found out a possible solution. Balboa secretly went to Gabriel to have a conversation with him. Balboa, at first, gave Gabriel a warning not to meet his daughter anymore so he wouldn’t have to use violence. However, as Gabriel refused to follow him, Balboa got mad and turned Gabriel into gray solid body with his magical force. He smashed it many times as hard as he can with his cane and made many copies of the scattered pieces so no one could find Gabriel and notice that he did it. As a result, Gabriel was broken into gray pieces, which are now called rocks, and no one was able to find him.
