Monroe climbs his way to the top of the statue where he finds the King, who finally wakes up. He further learns that the King, depressed at the departure of his wife, decided to build the statue to serve as his lasting legacy, but his powers began to fade until he fell into an eternal sleep. Monroe continues to travel deeper into the island where he finds a massive, but incomplete, statue of the King. However, she left without a trace, implying that the woman is in fact Monroe's mother, making him the King's son.

The two quickly fell in love, and the woman became pregnant. There, he learns that the King, wanting to leave behind some sort of legacy, decided to make a family, so he painted a woman to be his companion. Monroe continues to pursue the swan to a distant island off of the coast. However, due to a combination of his negligence and incompetence, all of the King's subjects became fed up with his rule and left the kingdom. He soon discovers the remains of a vast but deserted kingdom, where he learns that the kingdom was once ruled by the King, who used his powers to build the kingdom. With the help of his mother's magical silver paintbrush, Monroe begins to explore the painted world as he chases the swan. One night, Monroe wakes up to find the swan has escaped its painting, and he chases it until he finds himself in a mysterious painted world.

Monroe is told by his orphanage that he is only allowed to keep one of her paintings, so he chooses her favorite, a painting of a swan missing its neck. She was a painter who is known to have never finished a painting, having created over 300 incomplete works. Monroe is a young boy whose mother has recently died.
