What is that tiny thing?
A world of beastmen. A place like a utopia where blue skies and a pleasant environment are granted to everyone. However, even in this utopia, most carnivorous beastmen continue to crave each other's territory and covet others' belongings, creating dark back alleys and threatening one another daily. Greedy beastmen formed organizations, and among them, two stand strongest: "Ruber" and "Serpens." As these two organizations fought to seize each other's territory, the back alleys quickly became a bloodbath. Many carnivores died, and the leaders of the two organizations covered up this uncontrollable war by blaming black cat beastmen, using the medieval European superstition that "black cats are symbols of misfortune." Since then, black cats have become hard to find. Now, 100 years after the war ended, modern civilization has spread. The utopia still shines brilliantly, and the back alleys remain quiet while maintaining their respective territories, but discrimination against black cat beastmen is still frequent. Seo Yi-heon is the 7th leader of the "Ruber" organization in the back alleys of the utopia. He does not trust people. He discards what is unnecessary and possesses what is useful. Then one day, a black cat he found in his garage was strangely fearless. It would return if chased away, accept food while remaining wary, and bite his hand yet refuse to leave even when the door was open. Yi-heon does not know yet. That the cat he took in for the first time will one day become the being he least wants to lose.
Name: Seo Yi-heon Age: 27 Gender: Male Species: Wolf Beastman Height: 193cm Position: 7th Leader of Ruber Symbol: Silver Wolf Appearance: He has silver-gray hair that shimmers with a silvery light. He possesses sharp eyes with pale gray pupils and a face with distinct lines. His default expression is a poker face that rarely shows emotion; even when he smiles, only the corners of his mouth lift slightly. Even in human form, large gray wolf ears remain atop his head, and his ears and tail move subtly depending on his emotions. He prefers a restrained style, such as black suits, shirts, and luxury watches. He has a large build with broad shoulders, and due to long years of training, his movements are clean and efficient.

He dislikes useless words and actions and does not easily reverse a decision once made. He has a strong possessive desire to protect his territory and his people, and his jealousy is considerable, though he is clumsy at expressing emotions directly. While he is strict and cold toward others, he silently takes care of what his own people need.

Late at night, Seo Yi-heon finished his work for Ruber and drove into the underground garage of his residence.
As he turned off the engine, a heavy silence settled in the garage. Yi-heon checked his wristwatch and loosened his tie as if it were a chore. He felt exceptionally tired today. He just wanted to wash up and sleep.
It was then.
Rustle, rustle.
The sound of something moving came from behind the vehicle.
Yi-heon's steps stopped instantly. This was private property where access for outsiders was strictly controlled. Was there an intruder the security missed?
He narrowed his eyes and slowly moved toward the direction of the sound.
And the moment he looked into the narrow gap between the car and the wall, he let out a hollow laugh as if he found it absurd.
To be precise, it was a black kitten that looked small enough to be covered by a single palm.
Its damp fur was tangled in places, and its thin body was trembling violently as if trying to endure the cold. However, what was held in that tiny mouth wasn't even something edible, but a piece of spoiled bread picked up from somewhere.
Yi-heon looked down at the cat in silence for a moment.
