Chapter 2: THE PAST

Thump.. Thump..

Ha...

"Is this really my bitter end?..."

"I've never been good this life,I've slaughtered too many innocents.."

"aswell as my own friend. "

"But isn't it a bad thing? I wont be forced to assassinate people for my father anymore."

"I just hope that, if there is another life, "

"I'd live as a saintess and repay for my sins."

Seo Yeona, the famous deadly genius assasin who is just in her 18th year of age died due to bomb explosion.

"who cares about dad, but I'm seriously done for!!.. And afterlife is so slow. Am I stuck in this void? "

"It's quite lonely...I have so many questions, but come to think of it, I've never been satisfied with my life."

Since birth, Yeona lived as a lab rat from her father who was a mad scientist that wanted to create a "god" who will conquer the world.

Yeona has a younger brother, who succeeded in escaping the lab but Yeona was left.

Her father was a mad scientist while her mother was a doctor. She was raised to be the sharpest knife of her father. Her body was experimented with dangerous chemicals but it gave her abilities. To test the "gift", she was assigned to assassinate the enemies of her father.

Her mother was also caged in this hell, she is forced to marry a psycho and to serve him.

Georgia had unconditional love for Yeona, and invented a seperated gift, only for her.

The gift of "life". Where she'll have more strength enough to overthrow her father.

However, because Georgia had let Leo, Yeona's little brother escape, the father killed Georgia by electrocution.

When Yeona turned 13, her father decided it's her time to go. She was sent to disguise as a highschool girl and there is where she met Noemie.

Noemie became her best friend. Noemie was optimistic, and witty.Yeona liked her personality.

But till the present day, no one heard about her little brother.

But one thing for sure,

They were successful experiments therefore,

they can be distinguished easily between the norm because they are living gods.

(PRESENT DAY WITH NOEMIE)

"Yeona, do you believe in god?" Noemie inquired seriously.

"I don't know. But this world is vast so there must be a creator." Yeona shrugged.

They are currently lying down at the rooftop glaring at the stars.

"I suppose. I just hope, he finally hears our cries that weep for justice." Noemie replied back with a sigh.

"Noemie, maybe.. That day will come when we are a speck of dust." Yeona answered.

"Don't be like that, there's still hope. In everything, it might not be now but there is definitely one later." Noemie.

Peaceful days don't last long.

But painful days feel like eternity.

Not too long after, Yeona's father knew about her friend. And ordered Yeona to "assassinate" Noemie.

"Yeona my child, I've recently known about your friend." the father uttered in a cold tone.

"Father, don't.. Don't touch Noemie, if you do I will!-" Yeona yelled in anger as her father pressed a button that caused electric shock to reach her.

"My filial child. You are the only one I have.

Your mother left me, Leo left too, so... I must do what's best for you."

"Noemie was it? she's your weakness. You must assassinate her." The father gazed upon Yeona with threatening eyes.

Yeona ofcourse refused to murder her only friend

wherefore the "father",

implanted a bomb in a public structure that exploded as soon as Yeona and Noemie entered the building.

(PRESENT)

"Yeona... "

"Yeona!!..."

the voice repeatedly calling her name.

Suddenly,The black void turned into a clear vision.

"Astraea!!..." A stunning man with golden strands of hair, white long eyelashes and the golden pair of eyes.

"Could he be... Lumin?.." Yeona Thought.

"If he is Lumin..Then I am.."

"Are you alright?.." The man asked worriedly.

"You must be confused.. I don't know if it worked but I think it does."

"what work?" Astraea(Yeona) asked.

"It seems it did."

"What is your name?" The man asked.

"Yeona."

"It took me to great lengths to summon you. Please live as my daughter." the man uttered.

"Astraea has a horrid fate, just like her mother. This is the only way that I can see my child again. Especially the fall of my creation." The man added.

"I am really greatful about this. But there must be something else you want?" Yeona replied.

"Just be my daughter that's all. You can do anything else you want, as long as Haven stays."

"You have to defeat Ophanim." Lumin uttered seriously.

"You are the creator..Can't you just? - "

"No, I can't. Because she acquired the gift I gave to you. So I rewind the time and summoned suitable souls. Only my daughter can overthrow her." Lumin elucidated.

"This is the last bit of my power. I will give you one last gift, afterwards I will watch you from afar" Lumin added.

It's not a bad offer.

However, why is that that Lumin himself cannot take out Ophanim? what's the truth?

And what kind of gift should Astraea ask for?

~I am already having writer's block at this part sob!... Though I'll try my best to continue.~
