Bu Ji-seong had a dream of that day. A dream where the scientist he had seen often since childhood was lying dead drunk on the street. He was the man his maternal uncle, Baek Jeong-dae, always praised, saying he would become ‘our future.’
A man with neatly combed-back hair and impressive brown horn-rimmed glasses. But that night, the ever-so-gentlemanly Oh Jin-su was a complete wreck.
“Hic… Kheuheuk…”
As if overcome with sorrow, Oh Jin-su let out a string of mournful cries. His always-neat hair was a mess, and his horn-rimmed glasses were nowhere to be seen. After sobbing for a while, he suddenly grabbed Bu Ji-seong’s small shoulders and spoke as if making a vow.
“I will make… the greatest weapon for you… because that is the only way… to carry on his will…”
From that day on, Oh Jin-su became ‘family.’ Wasn't family supposed to be a blood-related relationship, people you were close to since childhood? But his father and Uncle Baek Jeong-dae called Oh Jin-su their new family.
Bu Ji-seong didn’t know how it happened, but he was happy about it. After all, Oh Jin-su had always given him fascinating gifts. At first, it was a toy that made rainbow-colored soap bubbles, and when he got older, he received an AI machine for training.
And when he was about to take the Hunter Qualification Test, he received Oh Jin-su’s greatest masterpiece.
