The night the blood-red rain fell, I dreamed of my parents being stabbed through the heart.
My adoptive parents disappeared, leaving behind a note that said “Run!” Then our neighbor turned into a grotesque monster with a split-open mouth and broke through the door.
On the verge of death, I awakened the ability to control blood and fought back, killing the monster.
As I fled, I met my childhood sweetheart, and we set off together for a military safe zone.
But the military's ability users glared at me with murderous intent. “His blood can contaminate the gene chain!”
At the brink of life and death, the wooden box my mother left behind suddenly projected an image:
“Child, we abandoned you back then to draw the people hunting us away...”
“Your father gave his life to keep you alive. We never stopped loving you.”
Just before the image cut out, my mother suddenly screamed, “They're here!”
