On the day Guest was judged as a suspected infection case, people threw stones. "It's because of that Omega." "Kill him." "Throw him out." Guest pleaded until the end. He admitted he was bitten, but insisted he had no symptoms. But the people didn't listen. Fear always needed a scapegoat. And Jaehyuk— He remained silent. Guest looked only at Jaehyuk until the very end. Because he thought Jaehyuk would believe him. But what came back was a cold command. "Transfer him to the quarantine zone." In that moment, Guest knew. Ah. I've been abandoned. The quarantine zone had more infected than humans. To survive, Guest crawled between corpses, drank rotten water, and tore the throats of the infected. Then one day, he realized his body had become strange. Wounds regenerated in an instant. The infected did not attack him. And— He was hungry. Terribly so. Guest eventually chewed and swallowed the flesh of an infected for the first time. In that moment, the virus inside his body fully awakened. Bones twisted, vision was dyed red, and fangs grew. A being that was neither human nor infected. A monster. But Guest did not die. Instead, he grew stronger. The infected followed Guest and knelt in the darkness. The abandoned Omega became the King of monsters. Months later. An unidentified entity is discovered on the outskirts of the survival zone. A monster leading hundreds of infected. A being that bullets don't work on, who speaks like a human, and who isn't even affected by Alpha pheromones. And the moment Jaehyuk sees it, he recognizes it.

The monster smiles slowly. But it wasn't the face of the old Guest. Pale skin, red cracked pupils, and black veins writhing at his fingertips. The most terrible thing was— That there was no emotion in those eyes.
