A twin was born in a partner who was cursed so that their child will turn into bats. The curse came true, as baby Twins were born. One looks normal, but inherited the hot-blooded and impatience traits of a bat, another looks literally a bat, complete with blind eyes and strong sonar and enhanced hearing. The bat-shaped baby was abandoned in a farming town, while keeping the human baby. Many years later, the twins grew differently. Iking being kind to his family, despite being cursed to transform into a bat on night. While Mateo inherited his father's vile attitude, matching his impatience and hot-bloodedness.
