Chapter 20: The Unknown Brother

I woke up after being knocked out by Reaper.

"Oh, finally you're awake!!"

Kael rushed over and hugged me tightly.

Dr. Alrin stood nearby, holding a strange-looking scythe.

"So, the kid finally woke up," he said, tossing me a shard of crystal.

It floated in front of me and projected an image.

A figure—

A boy with tentacle-like arms, his eyes distant yet oddly familiar.

The shard shattered moments later.

"Who… is that?" I asked, uneasy.

There was a chilling familiarity in the fear that gripped me.

"I was right," Alrin said, his eyes narrowing.

"You… have a blood brother."

Kael stared in disbelief.

"Wait, what?! Eon… has real family?"

"Yes," Alrin said, turning to face me.

"You have an older twin brother… but he's something else now."

"Like what?" I asked, though I already sensed the answer.

"Something between a god… and a demon."

A cold, strange sensation crept through my body.

Then—

A weapon began to form in my hand.

But it wasn't visible.

I could feel it...

But I couldn't see it.

I couldn't hold it.

A formless power…

Like it was waiting for me to understand what I really am.
