TO BE or NOT TO BE: The Inevitable Choice

Another option

이도🌑

Wait... look at this.

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

Is this a broken barrier?

이도🌑 image

이도🌑

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

환웅✨ image

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✨ image

환웅✨

Hey, look at this.

이도🌑 image

이도🌑

This ominous feeling could be-

환웅✨ image

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🌑 image

이도🌑

So the demons also entered the empire through here.

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

이도🌑 image

이도🌑

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

이도🌑 image

이도🌑

...I'll block it for now.

이도🌑 image

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🌑 image

이도🌑

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

Huh...huh...is it too late?

서호💧 image

서호💧

Huh? Why are you running like that?

이도🌑 image

이도🌑

Hey, what time is it now?

서호💧 image

서호💧

Right now? It's 7:50.

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

Where are the other members?

서호💧 image

서호💧

Let's see...

서호💧 image

서호💧

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

Hmm... nothing.

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

이도🌑 image

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💧 image

서호💧

What's that? What's going on?

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

서호💧 image

서호💧

Okay, sit here.

Hwanung sat on a chair and talked with Seoho.

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

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

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

서호💧 image

서호💧

So that's why....

Thump-

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

환웅✨ image

환웅✨

What...what is it? Seoho-hyung?

서호💧 image

서호💧

.....

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

It became cloudy as if covered in a hazy fog.

환웅✨ image

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💧 image

서호💧

...Here?!

??? image

???

It's that time again, haha.

??? image

???

Would you make the same choice today?

서호💧 image

서호💧

Why are you asking something so obvious?

??? image

???

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💧 image

서호💧

Eww-!!

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

서호💧 image

서호💧

Oh my...gasp...

In my fading consciousness, a voice was heard again.

??? image

???

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

서호💧 image

서호💧

What...what...ugh!

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

??? image

???

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

??? image

???

After becoming a vampire

??? image

???

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

??? image

???

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

??? image

???

So, what will you choose?

서호💧 image

서호💧

I am...

서호💧 image

서호💧

I will choose TO BE.

??? image

???

Hahaha! As expected.

??? image

???

Can you resist the temptation of blood?

서호💧 image

서호💧

what-

Bam.

서호💧 image

서호💧

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

??? image

???

I don't know about that.

??? image

???

You chose TO BE.

??? image

???

I chose not to drink blood.

서호💧 image

서호💧

Ha! Then things get difficult.

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

서호💧 image

서호💧

I'm now-

Shh.

서호💧 image

서호💧

-Because I need blood badly.
