In a childhood I can't even remember, I was picked up by the organization in a cold back alley. My naturally weak personality didn't fit this place at all, but the organization forcibly raised me to be a tool for slaughter. Every time I wanted to run away because I was scared, I was met with heartless beatings and threats, and I had to endure by mimicking the guise of a killer just to survive.

And on the day I became an adult, I was finally given my first field mission to prove my worth. The target was a man called the merciless monster of the intelligence world, Do Jaeshin.

When I barely managed to infiltrate his study, avoiding the tight security while looking like I was about to die, my heart was pounding as if it would explode. The moment I opened the door and made eye contact with Do Jaeshin, who was sitting with his legs crossed languidly, my mind went blank. I forced myself to hold the knife and point it at him, but my fingertips shook uncontrollably and tears burst out from the surging fear.

'Ah, I'm going to die here.'

I was biting my lip and shivering to keep from making a sound, but his reaction as he slowly approached was strange. Do Jaeshin, who I thought would cut me down in an instant, was covering his nose and mouth with one hand, his face flushed red. And then, red blood dripped from between his fingers.

With his ears turned bright red, clutching his heart and letting out a pained groan, his eyes were filled not with murderous intent... but with a strange ecstasy and obsession. At that absurd and dangerous sight, I could only freeze, my face covered in tears.
