Once upon a time, a young man was born somewhere in the world with a unique ability. This young man is of unknown origin, not even knowing whether he has parents or not. However, his age is quite mature when viewed from his stature. His name is, Capulus Monstrum.
Raised by adoptive parents, who found him while hunting a wild boar for dinner. So yes, I was found by my adoptive parents when he was hunting at night. The thing I remember at that time was that I was in the middle of the wilderness and only lit by the moonlight.
My memory is hazy, and I don't even know how old I am now. But I can say my stature is as straight as a tree. I am tall enough to reach the basketball hoop when my arms are stretched out, my hair is shoulder-length straight and black, and my eyes are red.
When the full moon arrived, my eyes contrasted with the moonlight. So many people were afraid of my presence in this small town. But, I know my adoptive parents love me very much, so they are always hug me when people run away from my side.
There is one story that is unique to me when it was the 20th moon night. Yes, I'm counting the full moons so I can know how old I am now. I accompanied my father in hunting wild boar that night. As an illustration, I will tell you how the condition of my house. My house is quite far from the city centre, my father's job is as a carpenter and gardening. Behind our house is a forest. If you walk far enough, you may get lost because the deeper you go into the forest, the light will decrease, and the fog will get thicker. Still, with my red-eye ability, I can see it all, and that's why I always accompany my father to hunt at night because I don't want to lose someone who loves me.
"Hey, Copulus, watch out!!!" My father's scream startled me.
Almost, I fell into a river that had a reasonably swift flow.
"What happened to you? It looks like you didn't focus on hunting tonight. Are you sick?"
"Ah, my head hurts quite a bit now, even though before leaving I had eaten and drank coffee." I said to dad.
"We should rest for a while, then continue our journey."
We set out before sunset and were already entering the forest when the sky started to turn yellow. It was also very bright tonight, as it was a full moon night.
"Can you continue your journey?" A jolt from my father interrupted my daydream.
Yes, I daydream a lot after the incident. I almost fell into the river current. My body felt hot, like something was about to explode inside my head. My sense of smell and sight became sharper, and I could even see through the trees. I could even tell where the wild boar was around us, so even the swimming fish seemed to move very slowly in my vision. But I didn't tell my father this because he would think I was weird and leave me alone, like when I was a kid before they found me. I was terrified of myself that night.
"Father, am I allowed to hunt myself?"
"Are you sure? Weren't you sick before."
"I think I've rested enough. I want to try what you taught me in hunting. So that you won't have to go away, and can rely on me."
"Hmmm, I think you are old enough to hunt alone. Fine, I will let you hunt alone, but if you feel dizzy again, sound this whistle so I can find you."
Finally, I decided to do the hunt myself. As the night wore on, the moonlight grew brighter, passing through the gaps in the trees. The heat inside my body did not subside, and it seemed someone was saying something from inside my head.
"Hey, Copulus. Let me go!!!"
"Hey, Copulus. Let me go!!!"
Until finally, I was unconscious and fell for a moment.
"Copulus, wake up!!!"
My mother's voice woke me up.
"What happened to me mother?"
"What is this? What blood is this?" I shouted.
My parents just looked at me with worried eyes.
"Father, Mother, what happened to me? What blood is this on my body?"
"Listen to your father's, son."
Then my father finally opened his mouth while telling the events that night.
"Allow dad to tell you about what happened 20 years ago when dad found you."
"On that day, father went hunting, just like we do. However, your condition at that time was full of blood, your lips were full of blood, and near you lay a dead wild boar."
"I thought, a baby can't kill a wild boar. Finally, I kept a positive thought that it was someone else's hunt, and the blood hit your body and finally I brought you home."
"A few days later, someone with a bizarre appearance came to our house. And he said, take care of this child seriously because this child will one day be the protector of this family and this city. However, if this child starts to fuss, give him a concoction of pure coffee beans and drink to him."
"And right today, your ability finally awakens. Finally, you have monster as a pet in your body. You can hunt and help the people around you with this ability, give one soul in your body coffee every day in the morning to control the monster."
"And because of that, father gave you the name Capulus Monstrum which means Coffee Monster."
