Ji-hoon wakes up on the bathroom floor, blood dripping from his eyes again and droplets running lightly down his palms. He struggles to get up from the floor but eventually stands up, he looks in the mirror again and notices that his eyes are just red, nothing else is there but reddish color.

Ji-hoon stares persistently into the mirror when suddenly he sees a black figure behind him and when he turns around that figure disappears completely.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ji-hoon again feels the pain he felt earlier but this time five times worse.

[Warning]

' Your strength has grown too fast in a very short time '

' Visit Doctor Jung to get yourself checked '

Ji-hoon wipes his eyes and head and with that pain finally manages to get into the elevator and up to the 7th floor to be checked by Doctor Jung.

Entering the door of Dr. Jung's doctor's office, he tells him that he needs to be checked because he's in maximum pain all over his body and at that moment he falls down.

Dr. Jung picks him up from the floor with difficulty and places him on the table.

Dr. Jung extracts a blood sample from Ji-hoon's body and puts it under a microscope. the blood cells are dark, unusual for a human.

Dr. Jung decides to test the sample on the computer and does so, when he does he gets the error that the blood contains no blood types.

"How can a human being have no blood type?"

Dr. Jung has a few question marks because it is impossible for a human being to have no blood group and especially for his blood to have black cells instead of red ones.

"Hm"

Doctor Jung examines Ji-hoon closely and when he opens his eyes he is startled, seeing that Ji-hoon's eyes are just a reddish color.

"What the hell?"

Dr. Jung quickly checks the computer for this symptom but finds nothing, just a blank page.

Dr. Jung starts writing down all the anomalies about Ji-hoon's body on a notebook to have a chance to investigate privately.

The doctor is still taking notes, and then looking closely into Ji-hoon's eyes, or at least where his eyes were supposed to be, he reports the incident and gets on the computer.

Sitting with his eyes in the computer he goes to the bathroom to relieve himself, entering the room he sees Ji-hoon's blood cells begin to grow, forming a dark figure.

Trying to run away, the doctor is stopped in his tracks, he can't move and in his shadow a figure can be seen holding onto his coat to keep him from running away.

Doctor Jung screams for help and at that moment his head is cut off, leaving him on the ground in a pool of blood, the figure disappears along with that blood sample.

Several people on the 7th floor heard the scream and came to see what was going on but covered their eyes when they saw the doctor's body being decapitated.

Just then Ji-hoon gets up from the table and opens his eyes, and those people see his eyes red with blood pouring out of them.

"You're the monster!"

Confused Ji-hoon puts his hand to his eyes and sees that he's bleeding again, at that moment he was panicking so he ran to the door, the others seeing this dodged him, he runs to the elevator but at that moment he's stopped by the medical aid group and caught.

Ji-hoon resists but is injected and put to sleep.

For two hours Ji-hoon is strapped into a chair, placed in a room with a single pane of glass and two people sitting on the other side of the glass.

One of these people is Mr. Kim and the other is his female assistant.

"Tell me Ji-hoon, what are you really?"

Ji-hoon sits silently with his head on the ground and when he lifts his head from the ground his eyes bleed again.

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

At that moment Ji-hoon breaks the chains and stands with his head raised and his eyes fixed on Mr. Kim's eyes.

Mr. Kim and his nurse are seriously freaked out at what happened so he just tells her he's going to stay there locked up.

Poison gas starts to enter the room where Ji-hoon is, but Ji-hoon has no facial expression and simply breathes simply.

"Nice try Kim"

Mr. Kim looks nervously into Ji-hoon's mesmerizing eyes. He tells Ji-hoon that he'll find out what's wrong with him and kill him as soon as he does.

Mr. Kim tells the nurse that they should both get out of there and leave Ji-hoon alone when they suddenly freeze.

"You can try to kill me, but you'll definitely end up like that doctor."

Mr. Kim sits like a rock hearing this, but because of his fear he prefers to leave with his assistant at the same time, leaving Ji-hoon in complete darkness once they turn out the lights.

I'll make sure you're dead, Kim Dong-hyun.

Ji-hoon sits back in his chair and when he opens his eyes, the reddish light illuminates the previously dark room.

Everyone is in the lobby, waiting for an announcement about Ji-hoon and whether he has been executed for his crime or not.

Mr. Kim's voice is heard saying that Ji-hoon was executed for his terrorist act against the organization.

"You don't have to worry about that soulless monster anymore, he's dead now."

Everyone starts to feel calm and go back to their rooms but Mr. Kim's next announcement is that they will train more tomorrow morning.

"For tomorrow morning you will train more to increase your physical strength and more"

They all understand the announcement and go to their rooms.

"Mr. Kim, how could we really kill Ji-hoon?"

"I have another plan for Ji-hoon"

Mr. Kim gets up from his desk and walks out the door, walking down the hallway he enters a door that says ' No Unauthorized Access '

His assistant comes after him and when she sees that machine, she gets stuck in place.

"What is this?"

Mr. Kim turns to his assistant grinning.

"This is a time machine, this will save us from this terrible present we live in."

Assistant approaches the machine and stares intently at it, amazed at such a creation.

"And how do you intend to use this machine over time, Mr. Kim?"

"Here, my plan intervenes, Ji-hoon will go back in time to save the world from this present we live in."

His assistant is scared hearing this from Mr. Kim, because she doesn't know him as a person who is super open to humanity.

"Well, and it's 100% functional?"

"Of course it is, I just didn't know who to use to go back in time."

Mr. Kim grins and turns on the machine, looking at the blue light it emits.

The strong wind from the machine makes their clothes and hair move fast.

"But don't you think it's dangerous to take a man back in time? Don't you think it might affect the timelines of the universe?"

"Well it can't affect anything as long as he doesn't do something stupid and I don't think he'd want to see his family dead a second time."

Mr. Kim puts his hand on her shoulder and looks at her.

"But wouldn't that have serious consequences for the present?"

"He can't affect the present present into something worse, what would be bad is to affiliate himself with a force from the past, then there is the possibility of creating a worse present here"

"Well, and are we prepared to take such action?"

Mr. Kim takes his hand off his assistant and turns to face the time machine.

"We'll risk it."

The nurse swallows her saliva in fear of what might happen in the future if Ji-hoon makes a major mistake in the past.

"But why risk that?"

"Because I care about my business, which was ruined because of those idiots with their war."

The room is silent until Mr. Kim tells her that tomorrow when the training takes place they'll bring Ji-hoon to go through this time machine and fix the past.

"Mr. Kim!"

"I don't want to hear about it, Soo-min."

Soo-min is silent for a moment but then begins to explain why this is not a good idea.

"Mr. Kim, if Ji-hoon does something wrong he'll make it worse and there's no way you'll be able to get your business back."

She pauses for a moment and then continues.

"If he affects the past the consequences will be even more catastrophic"

Mr. Kim tells her to be quiet, in a raised tone.

"I don't care about the consequences, I only care about my business and nothing else, everyone can die as long as I get my business back"

Soo-min is shocked to hear this and Mr. Kim pulls her by the hair and tells her that if she tells anyone he will hand her over to the monsters outside.

Soo-min promises she won't tell anyone what she heard so Mr. Kim lets her be and leaves the room but not before he says something.

"Ah, don't turn off the machine or it won't work for 73 hours."

Ji-hoon sits sleeping but he hears his cell door open slightly. Opening his eyes, he sees Soo-min.

"What do you want?"

Soo-min looks at him and apologizes for everything.

"You expect me to care?"

"No, you don't have to care but I wanted to tell you something."

Ji-hoon says nothing and just waits for Soo-min to speak. An awkward silence pervades the room until Soo-min explains the plan of Mr. Kim.

Ji-hoon laughs, laughs loudly when she hears of Mr. Kim's plan, laughs with tears, tears of blood.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, why is there blood coming out of your eyes?"

Ji-hoon stops laughing abruptly and looks into Soo-min's eyes, looks so deep that Soo-min looks away.

"Anyway, please just accept the mission, it'll be a success if you work with us."

Work with these brats? For what? To satisfy their needs?

"Nah, why would I work with someone who's locked me in here in complete darkness?"

Soo-min understands that this was a big mistake and tells him that if he does this he will save humanity and there won't even be this organization so he can live his life normally.

"Sounds interesting, too interesting to come out of the mouth of a traitor like you."

"Why do you think we're traitors?"

Ji-hoon laughs a little and then looks out the cell window and then at the door.

"You manipulate innocent people, destroy the minds of simple people for your shitty organization, deploy chips that can be destroyed by Hackers and then have their brains burned out"

"You have to understand"

"Understand what? That you're losers?"

Ji-hoon gets up from her chair and then an invisible hand grabs Soo-min by the throat squeezing her tight leaving her gasping for air.

"No..We don't want to manipulate anyone.."

"What a good joke, never do it again!"

Ji-hoon is even more nervous and the invisible hand squeezes Soo-min tighter and Ji-hoon's eyes sparkle, showing how nervous he is at that moment.

A pop up appears in front of Ji-hoon.

[First mission]

' Save the world! '

' Your power is imaginable and can help save humanity '

' You must go through a time machine and save the world from the 3rd World War '

(Accept) (Decline)

What the hell? Pop-up again from this crappy system? Hmm

The invisible hand puts Soo-min down and she starts breathing heavily trying to recover.

"You want me to take it, right?"

Soo-min nods yes and Ji-hoon thinks, thinks but doesn't want to accept either way.

I've come this far, to have an unknown ability, but how would that affect the past? Any mistake I make will destroy the timelines and result in disaster. I don't want to risk it but I honestly don't care that much.

Ji-hoon slaps his face.

Don't be stupid, be careful with your choices, some may be good and some bad, what matters is where you end up choosing them.

Ji-hoon presses the (Accept) button and receives another message from the system.

[Good To Go]

' Mission successfully accepted '

' Tomorrow you will go through the time machine '

Maybe this decision will help me become stronger and maybe even save humanity, but I will by no means put all my trust in this system and organization.

Ji-hoon helps Soo-min to get up and confirms that he has accepted the mission and will try not to make any mistakes so as not to destroy the earth's timelines.

"Thank you very much"

At that moment Ji-hoon also notices the slap mark on Soo-min's face but prefers not to get into it so hard.

"I'll be going, I'm sorry but you have to stay here for the rest of the night."

Ji-hoon looks at Soo-min and smiles calmly. The first time since he's been like this being noticed that he's smiling.

"It's okay, go upstairs so you don't create suspicion."

Soo-min thanks Ji-hoon again and promises to make it up to him if they finally meet again.

She leaves, closing the door and the light. Footsteps on the stairs recede and then the door at the top of the stairs can be heard closing.

Ji-hoon sits down again, putting himself to sleep for the next day.

Will I be able to fix what the others have ruined? Where should I start to make a solid foundation for myself and repair the past? I'll find out tomorrow, I guess.
