A non-hybrid

Viktor went inside Adonis's room and fell on his soft bed. He was mentally exhausted after working for the whole day so he decided to sleep over. 

"Adonis, your bed is so soft. And it smells good too."

"That's because I changed the sheet today. Are you going to stay here today, master?"

"Yes, I don't want to sleep in my room today. Your dimension room has a strange vibe that is making me feel so comfortable. Did you change something here? Do you want me to make a new room here? A big one?"

"No, master. I already have two big empty areas. My dimension room is bigger than two football fields. It will be harder to maintain if I get another one."

"Okay then, suit yourself."

"Good night, master."

"Yea. Good night."

   He's again going inside his lab. Well, he's a mad scientist after all. Making weird things is his job.

Viktor covered himself with Adonis's favourite blanket and fell asleep in just a minute by using magic.

.........

At that moment in the South Korean Military camp…

A solider walked inside the room of a lieutenant's office and slammed the desk with a pile of files. He wasn't happy at all for some reason.

"Sir. I've collected all the files as you ordered. Here's the list of some suspicious citizens. I talked with the general but he threw the papers in my face. He said the military shouldn't put their nose into this matter no matter what. But they are the suspects of a mass drug dealing team."

The lieutenant looked at the picture and said, "The general also told me not to look through something related to a group of people called 'Hybrids'. I don't know what kind of people they are but I assume they are also a secret part of the Korean military defence as well."

The solider frowned and replied, "Sir, how can they be a part of the military when they are drug dealers? Moreover, there's a rumor going around on the internet. They said that some individuals witnessed a group of people killing a person in an alley two months ago. They weren't even from the police or any governmental employees."

"I heard that too but it's hard to believe."

"Anyway, I heard that you're going home on a month's leave."

"Yes, my wife is feeling sick so I'm going to take my leave early this month."

That day, Nam Seo, a veteran solider took his 3-day leave and went straight to Seoul to see his wife early that month. He wasn't worried for his wife as he was worried about the recent rumors around his house. 

He was terrified. 

In the early morning, he reached his home and saw his wife in good condition. He was so worried but when she saw her soft smile, everything erased and his heart finally calmed down.

"Are you alright, honey? You're not hurt, aren't you?"

"No, I'm fine."

"You're making me more worried these days. Just move into our quarters. Everyone's wives live there."

She smiled and said, "If I leave, who's going to take care of this big family? And it's not like we live far away from your camp."

   I'm just worried about you…'

It was early morning so he ate his breakfast and then spent all day with his pregnant wife. And in the evening, he went outside to meet with his old local friends. He was free after a whole month.

Somewhere around the Elite high academy…

"Oi!! Here!" He waved his hand to call his friends in a street food restaurant. 

"You're finally out. How long has it been? Two months?" A friend of his asked because he's always busy with his job.

"Yes, my work is tougher than anyone else's. Here, have some beer." 

At that very moment, he saw a boy with white hair and ears full of earrings. He was taller than any person on the street so he attracted a little attention. Moreover, his way of walking made him more suspicious.

Instead of having fun with his friends, he glared at that boy and then saw him walking inside a dark alley. 

"Wait, I'll be back." He said and started to follow him. 

It was Viktor who he followed.

  'I swear I saw him walking through this narrow path. But it's a dead end.' 

The two buildings were so closely constructed that there was only a 4 feet gap between them. It was impossible for a person to get lost unless there was a secret path.

   'Did I follow someone really suspicious?'

At that moment, he looked above and saw a boy sitting on the 4th floor smoking cigars. His white hair was so noticeable that it didn't take any time for him to recognize it. But the question was, 'How did he get up there in just a few seconds? The building is a dead drop.'

He went outside the narrow alley and told his friends that his wife called him. But his intentions were something else. He quickly went inside the building and walked outside on the rooftop.

The boy was still sitting there facing the bright city lights. 

"Oi kid. Why are you sitting on the edge? It's dangerous."

The young man looked behind to see who called him. 

"A foreigner?" The man asked himself mumbling. 

"Do you need any help?" The young man asked.

"Oh, you're fluent. Are you a citizen of this country?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"I saw you getting inside the alley a few minutes ago, how did you get up here? Is there any secret door? Your movement is very suspicious."

   'I feel like I've found someone from the hybrid drug dealer. Most of them looked like foreigners and unbelievably handsome. Somehow he got the same features as the suspects. I need to take him into custody before he runs away.'

He then said, "Can you come down from there? We need to talk about something."

"Sure."

At that moment, some assassins from Dream Clan appeared on the rooftop. They were all wearing black jackets, and black masks and well-equipped with double swords. The solider was speechless to see the sudden appearance of the group of people who didn't even exist a second ago. 

Viktor smiled and said, "Looks like we got some company."

The assassins were hired by the same man who tried to poison the North family the other day. 

"Wha..what is going on? Who are you guys?" The lieutenant asked.

Viktor smiled brightly and said, "I guess he hired you guys with tons of money to kill me today. Are you sure you want to use your mana in front of a non-hybrid? He's a normal human being. The normal citizens will soon find out about this." 

The leader of the assassin ground replied, "We don't leave any trace. So he's just an unfortunate soul."

The solider became angry and said, "What are you even talking about!! Quit this nonsense!! And are those real swords? You're not allowed to walk around with those in Seoul!!"

The leader of the assassin ground threw a small dagger at him but all he saw was a small spark and the dagger went elsewhere.

"Hm?" He looked at Viktor's face and saw the grin on it. 

"I'm going to leave you with your precious life today because I'm not feeling it today. But I can't let you kill that man. He's an innocent man with tons of potential."

Viktor vanished from where he was standing and again popped behind the man. "Pardon me for the interruption. Please don't be too afraid of what is going to happen right now."

"What!! When did you? Hiiikkk!!"

Viktor picked him up like a bag of potatoes on his shoulder and said, "Close your eyes."

The group of assassins started to attack him but he was already above another building. The man was too stunned to speak. He saw the passing dazzling buildings under his feet and kept thinking about the world. 

He was also worried for his family.

He finally gained some courage to speak after Viktor slowed down and said, "What are you?"

"Me? I'm just a normal citizen living in Seoul."

Viktor went to the building where he actually lives and finally put him down. He was so scared that his legs lost their strength. He fell on the floor.

"Let me ask you again. What are you? No human being can't jump around from one building to another like Spiderman."

"Correct. A normal human isn't capable of doing that. Only a hybrid can."

The word 'hybrid' triggered his anger and said, "You just spoke of Hybrid, right? You're a member of the group called hybrids."

Viktor was dumbfounded to hear that even though he finished reading his record. 

"What are you even talking about-_-? Hybrid isn't a gang's name. It's a race like humans. I don't know where you get that information. But as a non-hybrid, you shouldn't poke your nose where it doesn't belong. You're from the military, right? I guess you've already received a warrant on 'not to look for hybrids.'" 

"How did you know about that?" The man asked.

"How? Because I'm somehow also part of the military defence of this country. A veteran on the other hand."

"A drug dealer is a veteran soldier, are you kidding me right now?" 

"Calm down kid-_-. I am sure you don't even know what a hybrid is! And a drug dealer gang? Hah…this is why we aren't allowed to expose our identities to normal humans." 

Viktor took his hybrid ID and threw it on his body. "Check that. I'm a part of the military. But I'm just an Elite high student now." 

"Elite high? That huge tranning centre where only the secret members of the military are allowed. I wanted to apply for the course but they said it's only for the selected ones. Perhaps, you're one of them?"

Viktor sat beside the edge of the building above his nonsense babbling. He was an important pawn in his next plan so he had no choice but to make a normal human to get involved. 

"Yes, I guess so. Things you know about Hybrids are totally wrong. Hybrid isn't some gang name of some back alley drug dealer party. It's a race's name. It will be hard to understand right away, but you'll understand soon enough. Because the group you just saw a little while ago is already gathering here. They are now targeting your family to take them as hostages to capture me."

"What!!!"

"Don't worry, I've already called my men. The bodyguards are already here." 

At that moment, the guards of the North family appeared on the rooftop and said, "Sir North, are you alright? Your ride is already here. Please go back to your house. We will take care of this." 

"I'll leave it to you."

The man was also dragged along with him all the way to his house inside an expressive car. He was left speechless and just like that, he kept staring at the huge dazzling chandelier inside Viktor's house.

"Ahem…please don't worry about your family. They are all safe."

"What is going on? Where am I?"

"This is my house. And the man behind your back is my big brother Adonis North. I guess you've already met in the camp, right? He's the general's good friend. And a hybrid."

The man looked behind and immediately saluted him. "Good evening, Sir North."

"Oh… we met a few days ago when I was going to have a little chat with my chubby friend. I guess you've already learned about Hybrids then. But I didn't expect you to get caught by my brother's attention. You must be really important." He laughed a little and then grabbed his shoulder. "I'll go ask for a month's vacation from your boss." Adonis left after telling him to follow Viktor.

He was out of choices so he did as he was ordered and finally, he ended up in front of tons of food on the dining table. 

 He was left speechless…
