There is only chaos: dense, silent, unmoving… until something stirs within it and cracks it open like a dark egg. From that first rupture, the world is born. Time rolls forward in vast ages, the land takes shape, and the four continents rise through the primordial haze.
Then the story narrows to one place: Flower-Fruit Mountain, in the realm of Aolai.
Here, the legend turns tangible. An ancient rock pulses, fractures… and from it steps the Stone Monkey. His first breath is already an omen that reaches Heaven—though he doesn’t know it yet. For now, he knows only how to run, to laugh, to explore.
And when he finds a waterfall that looks like a hidden door, curiosity becomes destiny.
Below you’ll find the Chapter 1 video: the first step of his rise—claiming a home, earning a name, and feeling the first crack in joy, when the fear of death knocks in the middle of the feast. Press play. The journey begins here.
