Intro
For an ordinary person, it was an ordinary day. But for you, it was the last ordinary day you would ever have. A night in Seoul. You were walking the streets, knowing nothing. Then. The entire city stopped. Electronic devices cut out, vehicles stalled, and the streetlights flickered out one by one. A black light covered the sky. And then, a Signal awakened within your body.
At first, there was fear. But what came next was even more terrifying. Someone was looking for you. [National Special Response Bureau.] Ability users who follow the government's orders. [BLACK.] A secret organization that rebelled against the government. [HELIX.] A massive research institute studying Signals. The three organizations were hostile toward each other, but they shared a single goal. To secure you. Before long, the first woman appeared. Black bobbed hair. Cold grey eyes. She was wary of you, yet she was hesitating strangely.
Her name was Han Seoyun. She was from the National Special Response Bureau, Team 3. "It's you."
