Ki - and his father, Kim Jeh-Hyuk

Both of thehts of Eden

For sou officials of Eden, which proot her fired from her post As written by Eden, the records stated it was her 'rebellious streak' to blame

Whatever the case ed her job to that of a Mercenary and killed many non-human races

Then, on a certain day

After operating as one of the finest A-ranked Mercenaries for some time, she went off on a particular mission to hunt down Vah - she ended up encountering the offshoot of the Vampire Race, 'Nosferatu'

At first, she did try to kill all of the to Eden, being deceived - and not only did she not kill the care of many matters for them on her own volition

In the nant with Sae-Jin She deliberated on what to do, and in the end, chose to stop what she had been doing until now and returned to Eden's fold, in order to request for their protection As a result of siding with the Nosferatus, she ended up becoet for the Vampires' hate

Unfortunately, Eden's protection was negligent at best, and led her to die at the hands of the Bathory Vampires

Kim Sae-Jin carefully read every word of the information on his mother first

However, when he turned the page over and the information on his father entered his eyes, hisit iht

His father, Kieneration 'Mah-in' (TL: Mah-in = Monster Man Will use this tere into a human's appearance)

The story went like this:

Well over 70 years ago, when the world's govern fruitlessly to conceal the existence of Fissures, Kirandfather stepped onto this planet

Was it because he was a half Mah-in? He longed to attain pure humanity And so, he settled down peacefully, fell in love with a hu life, quite unlikethe earth and causing all sorts of mayhem in their wake

And two generations later, Kim Jeh-Hyuk was born But hell, he wasn't even aware of hien Mah-in at all

During his teenage years, he placed all his trust in his 'Trait' and acted like a low-rent thug, but he , which became the catalyst to turn his life around

To be with her, he worked hard to becoer and entered Eden And he even created with her a child that kinda rese, he died without being able to take a look at the face of his own son…

”…This, what the f…”

The truth about his father being a Mah-in was incredibly difficult to s To h the docuain until he couldn't remember how many times he did that

But the documents were indifferent to his turmoil; even the strain of Kim Jeh-Hyuk's DNA, recovered after his death, had been captured and stored within this archive

Only then, Sae-Jin began to faintly understand just why he was granted such a strange 'Trait'

'The mysterious powers called 'Trait', born after the world's natural laws became distorted, seems to be completely randoenes as well This occurs when a lifeforinal strength, so the laws of the original world will try to augment…'

This was an excerpt froave Sae-Jin to read Back then, they were just a random soup of words he couldn't really understand, but now…

Countless strands of thoughts rushed in like tidal waves in his head Nothing but chaos ruled hisdizziness that alret began hounding hi this part of the truth

Before long, he was plopped down on the floor He didn't even have energy to stand up, only quietly holding his aching head But his pain didn't want to go away His blurred eyesights confused hi it hard to tell whether he was in a bad dream or not

'I didn't revealmistaken as a Mah-in But… huh I was a Mah-in for real'

He laid there on the floor for a long, long tination

Still suffering from confusion of mind, Sae-Jin exited the Tower to breathe in sos and that caused him to stumble around like a drunk

It was a not-so-late afternoon, and there were lots of people going about their daily lives on the streets

Parents walking hand in hand with their children; students, laughing and walking to wherever their feet took them - these were the displays of love and bond between fa Sae-Jin had not been able to experience while growing up

As he silently took in these sights while aihts invaded his head once more and complicated his emotions further

Firstly, should he go and roup called Nosferatus, the ones who had some sort of a connection with histhem?

”Hah-ah…”

Sae-Jin stood still and let out a soft sigh Then, a handful of people hesitantly got closer to hinised Jin Seh-Hahn, and began asking for his autographs as well as to take selfies with him He forcibly squeezed out a smile and said yes

After talking to people and taking care of their wishes, Sae-Jin resumed his walk

He walked for unknown ale word

On the opposite side of the pedestrian crossing, he spotted a person covered in a robe The hood covered her head, so her eyes and nose couldn't be seen, but she was definitely staring at him The evidence was that thick smile etched on her lips

Sae-Jin slowly made his way towards her And as he did so, the shter

He did tell her not to come… But, the sense of weakness that had taken root in his ht now, confused and uncertain, he needed someone to lean on, at least for a short while

And as he continued to walk towards her location…

Suddenly, the world darkened

A small part of the curtain of darkness that see even that of the fading sunset, transforiant fist, and then - descended down on Hazeline's head

”damn it!!”

Sae-Jin madly dashed towards her direction He powerfully embraced the totally-unaoman, who still carried that smile, and activated the scales of Leviathan to the absolute maximum

KKWAHHAANG!!!!

A huge explosion of i out on the once-calm roadside

”Are you alright?”

Trapped underneath the rubble inside the crater, Sae-Jin asked her

”…Uh- You gave ht, you know? Even if you hadn't acted, I would've blocked it just fine…” (Hazeline)

From within his embrace, a voice filled with fake criticislance doards, Hazeline was there, busy fidgeting around uncontrollably, while both her cheeks were dyed in crimson red

”I' you, are you unhurt?” (Sae-Jin)

”…You are overreacting right now Maybe Mister Sae-Jin istreated like that, so from next time onwards, please be more mindful of that” (Hazeline)

Hazeline seemed to be deeply e to sound more assertive than usual

”Well, in that case,you” (Sae-Jin)

Giving her a blunt and obviously unhappy answer, Sae-Jin lifted the rubble off himself and stood up

The scene outside the crater was even s of darkness were busy killing people and destroying buildings, their fors and even Monsters
