( Namhye's POV )

"Is Clint okay?" Mom called because she was worried about Clint.

"Yes, Mom. Clint needs to do this to handle the challenges ahead. He needs to be strong because he can't always rely on me, or on you , your Baby Boy."

I said while hearing Mom sigh.

"I know. I just really miss my baby boy. I know you're strong, Namhye. I understand that you can't interfere with fate, especially since we don't know what might happen."

"That's why, for now, we need to trust Clint. This is for his own good as well. So, Mom, don't worry too much. Clint will handle this."

"Yes, Baby. I hope he can come back soon."

"He will, Mom... I'm sorry, Mom, but I have to hang up now."

"Okay, Baby. Take care. Mommy loves you."

"I love you too, Mom."

I smiled as I said goodbye and looked in the mirror. Clint, prove that you are a Moon. Just wait, I'll send someone for you. For now, you need to be on your own. I straightened my clothes and put on my mask. It's time to show who the boss is. I walked confidently while they bowed in respect to me at the company.

"GOOD MORNING, CEO NAM!"

"Continue," I replied and sat in the middle of their presentation meeting.

( Clint's POV)

I looked at the moon while holding back my tears. I had been waiting for the vampires who took me and brought me here to what they call the Immortal World. Yes, they did nothing to me but look at me. They left me here.

Before this happened, I told them what happened to me—that I was violated multiple times while we were resting yesterday. I thought they would stay by my side, but they didn't. I shouldn't be surprised by their expressions.

It's clear they don't like gays, so why did they bring me here? I walked and chose to think that I didn't know them. While walking, I saw some black wolves; they were ugly, slobbering, with red eyes, and I could smell their foul stench.

I gulped when I saw what they were fighting over—a person, but only half the body. Wait! Could they be the Rogues?

I backed away and was about to run when I stepped on a dry branch, creating a noise. I gulped again as they all turned to look at me and growled.

"SHIT!"

I ran as fast as I could as they suddenly attacked; one even scratched my arm. My heart pounded because even though I was fast, they were still chasing me. I didn't look back because I could hear their growls. When I looked to the left, I tripped as one of them jumped at me. I rolled and hit a tree, immediately dodging another attack.

I ran again, gasping for breath. F*ck! Why are they still catching up?! I'm already a vampire! I've always been so weak! What should I do?! Shit! Shit! In an unexpected and foolish move, I ran towards a cliff.

"Bullshit!"

I shouted as they cornered me. I looked around, thinking of a way to escape. I was almost in tears but tried to stay strong.

"Grrr!"

What should I do?! As I looked around, one suddenly attacked. I dodged and rolled, almost falling off the cliff. I picked up a large rock and smashed it on the wolf's head as it tried to attack again. When it fell, I pushed it off the cliff, gasping for breath as I faced the others, seeing they were even angrier because of what I did.

I cursed as they all attacked at once. I did everything I could to defend myself, but I was too weak. I sat down, wounded and in pain.

I looked back and gulped at the deep cliff.

"Chase me if you can! Idiots!"

I cursed them and jumped. I saw the wolves following and jumping too.

"Hahaa! You thought I was stupid?" I laughed at the wolves that fell and barked. Before I could fall completely, I grabbed onto a root. No, I'm not stupid enough to jump into the water and hit the rocks.

I could still hear the wolves above, so I felt like a fool hanging there, trying to move my arms and lift myself up until I could run again before the wolves noticed.

I ran fast for half a day, not knowing where to go, just trying to get away from them. Finally, I tripped over a root and fell into the mud.

I lay there, unable to stop crying, gasping for breath, repeatedly wiping my face until I was practically covered in mud.

"Mommy, I miss you," I sobbed.

"I miss the Mortal World. I don't want to be here anymore."

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep in the mud out of exhaustion and crying all night. When I woke up, it was morning. I stood up, feeling heavy and thirsty. I walked with a limp until I saw a deer. My eyes turned red and my mouth watered; I was really thirsty. I quickly ran before it could escape.

"Forgive me, deer, but I'm really thirsty," I said as I bit into it and drank its blood until there was almost nothing left.

When I finished, I let go of the deer and knelt, crying. Is this what my life will be like from now on?

While crying, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my back. A black wolf attacked me from behind. I fought back as hard as I could, but it was incredibly strong.

In our struggle, we both fell off the cliff. My world spun as we fell, the wolf's growls echoing in my ears.

I crashed into the water with a bone-jarring impact, the cold shocking my system. I tried to swim, but the wolf was still on me, dragging me down. I struggled to break free, but I felt heavier as we sank deeper into the dark water.

I was about to give up, closing my eyes, and my life flashed before me.

Forgive me, Namhye, for what I did. I'm sorry you were in a coma for 15 years because of what I did to you. If it weren't for your Nanny, who turned out to be a witch, cursing me, I wouldn't be here now trying to find a way to break the curse.

I'm happy that my relationship with Daddy is better now, but the curse of suffering began. I'm a man, but I've been raped many times, and because of this, I'm affected. I can no longer feel straight.

I miss Mommy so much. I wish I could hug her again, along with my siblings and friends. I want to go back to when I was a normal human. They weren't afraid of me then, and now everything has changed.

They don't want to hang out with me anymore. I remember when I tried to kill myself, standing on the railing of the bridge and seeing my family arrive.

Mommy was crying, begging me not to jump, while Daddy seemed indifferent. I still remember what he said:

'Then die.'

Those words hurt so much, so I jumped and drowned in the water. That was the first time I died. But it's funny because I came back to life because of the vampire princess.

While she was on the brink of death, she found my freshly buried body. She transferred her powers to me, turning me into a half-vampire prince. Because of this, my suffering increased.

Slowly, I opened my eyes, filled with wonder. Why wasn't I sinking? And more importantly, why could I breathe underwater? The black wolf was also gone.

Confused, I tried to swim, but every movement seemed to pull me deeper into the abyss.

Suddenly, a bright light pierced the darkness. I quickly looked up, searching for answers in the now dark expanse above.

I pushed myself towards the surface and took a deep breath as I broke through the water, seeing the open sky. Gasping, I took in my surroundings, unable to believe what I was seeing

"What the f*ck? How did I get here?!"

I whispered to myself, looking at the endless expanse of water, with no sign of land. Gradually, I realized—I was in the middle of the sea, alone in the vast ocean of nothingness.

"Rise, Young Man. You are here in my beloved Void. Now I will bestow your system that will be your partner."

What?!

"Wait! What are you talking about?! What system?!" I shouted, and the light from earlier took the form of a man and looked at me from head to toe.

"Oh my! It looks like I took the wrong soul. Sorry, hehee," he said, making a peace sign.

My eyes widened, and I screamed,

"WHAT THE HELL!"
