TO BE or NOT TO BE: The Inevitable Choice
Another option



이도🌑
Wait... look at this.


환웅✨
Is this a broken barrier?


이도🌑
Can the barrier of the Heinel Empire, protected by the moon, be broken?


환웅✨
Well...but it's the moon realm ruled by the goddess Sia, the sister of the sun god Helios.


환웅✨
I know that this barrier was specially created for Sia-nim, the first wizard of the Heinel Empire.

Hwanung looked into the broken barrier.


환웅✨
Hey, look at this.


이도🌑
This ominous feeling could be-


환웅✨
That's right. This energy is from the Demon World. It feels like the barrier has been broken, and the gate to the Demon World has opened.


이도🌑
So the demons also entered the empire through here.


환웅✨
We have to stop this... but we can't touch the realm of the gods.


이도🌑
Well then, let's block it with a dark barrier for now. It's only a temporary measure, though.


환웅✨
This is a big problem. We can't even call on God.


이도🌑
...I'll block it for now.


이도🌑
"Darkness will cover everything and imprison it."

A dark light emerged from Ido's hand and filled the gap in the broken barrier.


이도🌑
Now that we've blocked it, the demons won't come anymore.


환웅✨
Then let's go back quickly. Before it's too late.


환웅✨
Huh...huh...is it too late?


서호💧
Huh? Why are you running like that?


이도🌑
Hey, what time is it now?


서호💧
Right now? It's 7:50.


환웅✨
Where are the other members?


서호💧
Let's see...


서호💧
Raven is in his room, and Geonhee and Sion are in the training room. But why?


환웅✨
Hmm... nothing.


환웅✨
Lee Do-hyung, do you want to go to the training room?


이도🌑
Yeah. First of all, I don't have time to meet Raven.

Ido opened the mobile portal and headed to the training room.

Only Seoho and Hwanung were left in the system room.


서호💧
What's that? What's going on?


환웅✨
It's nothing. I finished my mission, so can I stay with you?


서호💧
Okay, sit here.

Hwanung sat on a chair and talked with Seoho.


환웅✨
'5, 4, 3, 2... 1. 8 o'clock sharp.'

Hwanung, who was counting numbers in his mind, looked at Seoho.


서호💧
So that's why....

Thump-

Seoho's eyes closed and he collapsed onto the desk.


환웅✨
What...what is it? Seoho-hyung?


서호💧
.....

But Seoho's breathing was regular as if he was sleeping soundly.

It became cloudy as if covered in a hazy fog.


환웅✨
Brother! Wake up! Quickly!

But Hwanung, who was watching the scene in front of his eyes, was annoyed.

Without doing anything

I could only watch Seoho disappear.


서호💧
...Here?!


???
It's that time again, haha.


???
Would you make the same choice today?


서호💧
Why are you asking something so obvious?


???
Yeah, I'm going to become a vampire again today...

I hear a voice that sends shivers down my spine

I heard the sound of fingers snapping.


서호💧
Eww-!!

An excruciating pain that forced me to fall asleep came rushing in.


서호💧
Oh my...gasp...

In my fading consciousness, a voice was heard again.


???
From today on, you will have to make one more choice.


서호💧
What...what...ugh!

Seoho tried not to lose his senses as he suffered the pain of gradually becoming a vampire.


???
I wonder if I can communicate better now that I'm half-vampire?


???
After becoming a vampire


???
If you don't drink blood, you are choosing TO BE.


???
If you drink blood, you are choosing NOT TO BE.


???
So, what will you choose?


서호💧
I am...


서호💧
I will choose TO BE.


???
Hahaha! As expected.


???
Can you resist the temptation of blood?


서호💧
what-

Bam.


서호💧
Ah, really. Isn't it annoying to call me?


???
I don't know about that.


???
You chose TO BE.


???
I chose not to drink blood.


서호💧
Ha! Then things get difficult.

Seoho's eyes, transformed into a vampire, flashed fiercely.


서호💧
I'm now-

Shh.


서호💧
-Because I need blood badly.
