‘What is this...?’
‘Who am I, and where am I...?’
Having lived her entire life secluded in Taebaek Mountain with just her grandmother, the current situation was utterly confusing for her.

There had been a monstrous tree living beneath the mansion where she had spent her life, she had been suddenly kidnapped by that horrible creature, losing control of her body, and had nearly killed her own grandmother.
