Lorena blinked several times while holding her head to close her eyes
"That old man from the beginning I didn't trust him."
Lorena raised her body from the floor and sat up straight while thinking and trying to remember what had happened, but all her memories were blurry.
-that old man
Lorena sighed while closing her eyes and then looked at the two who were sitting quietly . The
cold look in Yeon Ha's eyes says she doesn't like Lorena while Lee Joon's eyes read very clearly worried.
- I want to know what happened at that time, the jugs and the old man, what happened at that moment, why did I lose consciousness?
The two fell silent and didn't answer her, they just stared, and it didn't take a few seconds for Yeon Ha to get up and slowly turned towards the door.
She paused at the door, and with a cold sullen tone—
who would have expected the chosen one to be a petty foreigner.
Lee Joon got up and attacked Yoon Ha hesitantly
No, no, Yeon Ha, you shouldn't say such things! She just doesn't even know how she was chosen .
-Did not matter
Eun Ha continued on her way out
, embarrassed Lee Joon quietly bowed and left the room without speaking.
Lorena looked at her hands to raise them and grope her face
Who am I... Who am I really...

Sir, all the preparations are over, the device that the scientist Stephen used has been modified
-Actually, Loris, it looks like I'm going to delay this flight, you know, I don't want anyone to bother me while I'm doing my job.
The tall blond got up with his usual cold smile and headed for his big window while Loris stood behind him incomprehensibly.
- But, C, sir, what do you want to do?
Don't worry, Loris, I won't assign this task to anyone. I'll do it myself
Renee's image is reflected in the rainy window
- Humans... they are nothing but primitive beings, no matter how evolved they will always be nostalgic for what they were before the great creation
Loris, you can go out. I'll call you if I need you
Loris leaned over, took two steps back, then turned around to leave and quietly closed the door
Lorena, I think our time together is going to be a little late
_____
Jones and Alejandro are sitting at Jones's house while sipping coffee in his office
Jones, are we going to just sit there and do nothing?
Listen, Ally, I know where Lorena is, but right now, I'd rather not go to her. She might want to be alone, and even that old man said we'd better leave her alone.
-what do you mean?
Look, you and I are going to get some powers, it's not really a forbidden power, but if we want to face Renee, we have to be far from being human, I guess you understand what I'm saying?
Alejandro put the cup of coffee on the table and sighed, then turned to look at Jones seriously
You mean we turn into something like a vampire?
Well said, but this will not be done illegally, I have blocked a legal paper from the court authorizing us to do this, since that organization is dedicated to these things, and I mean that the organization is legal
- I'll do as you say but, if it was like a vampire, I wouldn't take it, I don't want to be a monster.
- We'll go and see what that old man will do. He told me strength, but he didn't tell me what it was.
Smile, my friend, strength is not a bad thing

<Two years later>
- Hey! Doctor Lorena, come here!
- coming
Lorena, the short red-haired woman with her short red hair, drank her glass of water, slowly rose from the chair and confidently stepped out in her high heels while wearing the white scientists' vest.
- What is there?
Lorena stood with her hands folded to her chest in the old Korean office
Lorena, the gate you made is already done! Congratulations for your efforts
Don't thank me now, old man. After all, I'm the one who brought that monster back to life
-No, my daughter, it is fate that brought him back. Do not forget that you are the chosen one. You have to put this in your calculations.
Lorena sighed and walked towards the door coldly, she grabbed the doorknob and spoke
I intend to kill that man, and I am human. I don't want to be anything else
She opened the door and walked out, shutting the door behind her
- That old man, he's dreaming
As Lorena walks back to the office where she works, she follows her towards Old Eun Ha's office, who doesn't even look at her.
Lorena continued her way forward without even looking at her
Lorena came to the door and stopped when she saw that boy
- Lee Joon! When did you end your interest?
Hey Doctor, I'm done with my assignment and I'm back here. You missed me, didn't you? True? True?
Lee Jun jumped on Lorena's shoulders and hugged her softly.
The two moved away from each other and quietly entered her office to sip the coffee that she quickly prepared.
Tell me, Lee Joon, how did your job go?
Lee Jun frowned
- It wasn't a big deal. I thought I'd fight noble vampires but all I found there were a bunch of idiots.
Lorena smiled while looking at her cup of coffee
What about you, I heard that you refused to do this and instead you created a space-time gate, is that true?
- That's right, the gate has been tested and it works. We can go back and forth just by selecting the controller on the watches I designed it for.
Does it mean that the number of people who will be able to go is limited?
- No, I made a model of the watch and it was tested on a prisoner who was sentenced to life imprisonment. He tried to cross and return safely without being injured by anything. He determined the time period for us through the camera we gave him. As for that watch , other scientists started working on a large group So that we can control things
That's great, you're really a genius!
I have to be like this to restore the order of the world that I destroyed with my own hands
Lee Joon approached and placed his hand on Lorena's shoulder, a worried look on his face
Lorena, we're all guilty, you're not the only culprit here, all of us did what caused this major accident.
We will find a solution for this, so don't worry
