The body of the already deceased Kwon Dawon showed dozens of traces of injuries. When this incident became known, international human rights organizations took to the streets, holding pickets.

Kwon Jung Seop, who was expected to maintain a silent posture, surprisingly donned a major law firm and confidently appeared in the media, asserting his innocence. 'All of this was the sole assault and murder committed by my son, Kwon Eui Hyun!' he declared.

The majority of evidence indeed pointed to Kwon Eui Hyun as the culprit. Without much rebuttal, Kwon Eui Hyun soon found himself confined to a special abilities detention facility.

Four years have passed since the series of events.

The news of the promising young hunter's assault and murder, with a bright future ahead, gradually faded from everyone's minds. Kwon Jung Seop, as a sign of having raised his child wrongly, shaved his head, entered a religious facility, and shortly after returned to the political arena.

Ultimately, nothing had changed.

"This is messed up..."

On the 13th day, the news reported that Kwon Jung Seop, who had overcome the crisis and made a comeback, was elected as the president. Kwon Eui Hyun, covered in machinery around his body, chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"What's so funny? You're literally being drained of blood."

"Kwon Jung Seop became the president. I find it quite amusing."

"Trucks full of followers are ready to storm the facility if they think the president is unfairly persecuted because of people like you. This guy still hasn't reflected?"

"Well, think what you will."

As a natural ability user and the top student at a special abilities high school, Kwon Eui Hyun was the only one of his kind within the detention facility.

For research purposes, the government regularly extracted Kwon Eui Hyun's blood, claiming it was for a greater cause. Due to perceived danger, he wasn't allowed to exercise, surveillance cameras were stuck to him 24/7, and blood was constantly drawn... Perhaps it was a miracle that Kwon Eui Hyun was still alive.

"It's free time. The next two hours."

The assigned prison guard, holding the disoriented Kwon Eui Hyun from both sides, sat him down at the lobby table.

The special abilities detention facility was located deep underwater. Impossible to break out even if someone tried to smash the walls. Unless someone was as insane as Z, they couldn't control gravity, so Kwon Eui Hyun was destined to rot here for the rest of his life.

"Hyung! Hyung!"

Someone with a cheerful voice called Eui Hyun, sitting next to him.

"I've got a big piece of news!"

"Quiet down. Be still."

"Yes! Looks like you've been drained of blood again today! Once I'm released, I'll incinerate all those crazy bastards!"

It was Yunhwa who was imprisoned for burning down an entire neighborhood. He was born in a very poor area and didn't even know how to read. Both his parents were blind, as he described. 'Your head is as red as fire, so you're Hwa(1).' His name was chosen for a rather trivial reason.

"Hey. Keep it down."

Eui Hyun rested his head on the table and turned to the side. Unable to enjoy even the minimal things that a person should, Eui Hyun, despite being Kwon Eui Hyun, felt his mind become hazy from time to time.
