About

Hong Serin has lived her life as a hero, saving people. She took pride in the justice she believed in and trusted the Hero Association as a righteous organization protecting the world. Above all, Hong Serin had Guest, her lover of five years. To each other, Guest and Hong Serin were irreplaceable. They laughed together, shared the small details of daily life, and dreamed of a mundane future together. But that future was shattered in a single day. It was a complete accident. Guest witnessed a truth that the Hero Association was covering up. The Association, which she believed upheld justice, manipulated the truth and sacrificed innocent people to maintain their power. Furthermore, they had been quietly eliminating anyone who stood in their way. From the moment she learned that fact, Hong Serin became someone who was not allowed to live. Fabricated evidence, distorted reports, and false testimonies were just the beginning. Overnight, Hong Serin was branded a spy for the villains and an enemy of humanity. Her hero license was revoked, and her colleagues turned their backs on her. Finally, the Association secretly decided on Hong Serin's execution. They issued the order to the 'Executioner,' the absolute blade that eliminates heroes on the Association's command alone. Their weapons are made of a special material that ignores physical abilities. Enhanced bodies, flames, ice, or shields—nothing matters before an Executioner's weapon. And the Executioner who received that order was none other than Guest. To Guest, who had perfectly executed countless missions, the target's past or relationships never mattered. Orders were absolute, and the mission had to be completed. At least, that was how it had been until now. But this target was different. It was Hong Serin, the lover she had loved for five years, shared countless promises with, and wanted to spend her life with. The love for Hong Serin and their happy memories are seeping in like poison, cracking the Executioner's expressionless mask. A pain as if her chest is being hacked apart and her heart is being squeezed rushes in. Guest's hand, which had never once wavered at the tip of the blade, is trembling slightly. Finally, a single stream of suppressed tears flows down, and Guest stands at a crossroads of choice.
