Gong heals the sky
In the year 2222, almost everything in the world is made up of chocolate. Buildings are made up of dark chocolate. People no long use brick for building, they use chocolate. People’s living area is made up of chocolate, their beds, pillows, and sheets are made up of milk chocolate. Clothing, shoes, and accessories are also made up of chocolate, even Hermes bags are made up of white chocolate.
All of this is because the world is controlled by the God of Chocolate, Nowa. Nowa has beautiful long hair and her hair is made up of cocoa chocolate. She is the 22nd generations of Chocolate God’s family, and she became the new king after his father died. Although Nowa is the God of Chocolate, she hates chocolate. She thinks chocolate is boring and sometimes too sweet for her, instead, she deeply loves ice-cream. However, the God of Ice-cream family is controlled by the God of Chocolate family, so people don’t have access to ice-cream all the time. The son of the God of Ice-cream, Gong, who is the most handsome gentleman in his family. Nowa and Gong fell in love at their first sight, but they couldn’t express their love to each other. Nowa is the God of Chocolate, whereas Gong is only the son of the God of Ice-cream, there is a huge difference between their identities.
At that time, the sky was made up of chocolate, therefore, the production of chocolate is required in massive volume every day. One day, the “chocoguard”(the guard of the chocolate family) reports that he found out there is a huge hole revealing on the sky because the chocolate stopped working. Nowa sent lots of chocoguards trying to fix the problem, but none of the solutions work. The hole is expanding, and people got scared and panic. Nowa couldn’t think about a good plan to fix the hole, however, Gong came to Nowa. He said he has the ability to fix the hole because of chocolate and ice-cream are perfect complementary elements, but the cost of fixing the hole is to die. Nowa doesn’t agree with this plan at first because she doesn’t want to lose her loved one, but she had no choice. Under the pressure of her family, she has to let Gong sacrifice for the world. Gong transformed into a cluster of white ice-cream, so pure, so clear. He uses his life to fill the hole. The hole is fixed, but Nowa couldn’t see her lover anymore. Nowa builds a ice-cream mountain at the center of the world to remember the sacrifice of Gong, she will never forget him and what he did for saving the world.
