The Jeokgwang Special Investigation Unit.
In the conference room, a woman was presenting to detectives selected from various police stations. When Moon Ji-hyuk first saw her, he was montarily speechless. She was stunningly beautiful, to the point where she could easily pass as a celebrity. Her sleek bob, crisp suit, and tight skirt exuded a cold, sophisticated aura—the epito of a cold city woman.
"Everyone, the criminal you are tasked with tracking down and apprehending, Jeokgwang, is a vampire."
"..."
The detectives began to exchange confused glances. Moon Ji-hyuk, to avoid suspicion, mirrored their expressions.
"What I'm about to explain is top secret. First, let introduce myself. I am Choi Sun-mi, Team Leader of Division 4 under the support of the Korean Black Cross Society. I know it's hard to believe what I'm saying, but after watching this video, you'll have no choice but to believe ."
Choi Sun-mi spoke firmly and displayed a video on the screen. It was footage of Jeokgwang committing a murder at the Noel Fitness Club.
The faces of the detectives, including Moon Ji-hyuk, hardened. In the video, Jeokgwang dodged bullets effortlessly and slaughtered over 20 people with a single sword. It was impossible to believe such power belonged to a human.
"Everyone, vampires are real. Jeokgwang's strength and abilities are proof of that. If you still can't believe it, I can show you more evidence... but judging by your expressions, that won't be necessary."
After watching the video, it was harder to believe Jeokgwang was human.
One detective raised his hand and asked Choi Sun-mi a question.
"...I have no choice but to believe that lunatic is a vampire, but what's with him suddenly speeding up? Does he have so kind of superpower?"
"Sharp observation, veteran detective. Jeokgwang, as a progenitor vampire, possesses supernatural abilities. However, his power lies in chanical manipulation, not instantaneous acceleration. The sudden increase in speed is likely due to him finally exerting his full strength."
"So, you're saying that's not a superpower but just his normal physical ability?"
"Correct."
"This is insane. A monster like that exists in the world?"
The detective let out a hollow laugh, unable to comprehend the absurdity.
"Jeokgwang is a progenitor—a special entity even among vampires. Combat with Jeokgwang will be handled by our Black Cross Society's combat unit, the Vampire Hunters. Your task is to track Jeokgwang and locate his position."
Choi Sun-mi spoke coldly.
This Jeokgwang Special Investigation Unit was nothing more than a facade. The Black Cross Society had no real expectations for it.
"...Will the police SWAT team not be involved in this?"
"If requested, they will. But that won't be necessary. Our Black Cross Society will capture Jeokgwang first. We are professionals when it cos to hunting vampires. Even the most renowned special forces can't match us in this field."
"..."
"We'll provide more information on Jeokgwang. As you review the materials, you'll see that the incidents believed to be committed by Jeokgwang include..."
Moon Ji-hyuk's eyes widened as he scanned the docunts. The recent murder case at the Saeeoneul Apartnts was ntioned.
'The victims' bodies were found decapitated. If it's Jeokgwang's sword... it's possible.'
A broken CCTV footage flashed in Moon Ji-hyuk's mind. A man in a suit. His build matched Jeokgwang's.
'...That man is Jeokgwang.'
Six bodies were found in the apartnt. Three of them were connected to the bloody alleyway incident.
'...Perhaps Jeokgwang is...'
A clue was forming.
Moon Ji-hyuk decided to organize his thoughts and proceed with the investigation step by step.

I sat by the window of a motel near Kim Chun-suk's secret villa in Yeongdeungpo.
In front of was a desk with a laptop on it.
I glanced out the window through the curtains. What I was looking at was a four-story building—Kim Chun-suk's secret villa. It was located in a secluded area, and from the outside, it looked like an ordinary villa.
'8 PM. It's about ti...'
Once a week, every Thursday, a female celebrity would visit the secret villa with her agency's CEO.
Most were actresses, but sotis female singers or idol group mbers would co too. There were about 10 celebrities in rotation.
They would enter the villa and leave after about an hour.
'...They're here.'
A black van stopped in front of the secret villa. Five people got out—one was the agency CEO, and the other four were mbers of a rising female idol group.
They were covered in coats and hats, but I had already gathered information, so identifying them wasn't difficult.
They weren't rookies but had spent a long ti in obscurity before recently gaining popularity.
'Haa... Today's footage will be good.'
What I was after was evidence of sexual exploitation.
It would be easy to storm in, kill the guards, and behead Kim Chun-suk.
'But then he'd just be another victim killed by Jeokgwang. It'd be annoying if he died as a victim.'
After they entered the villa and so ti passed, I activated my hacking skill.
[Hacking successful.]
[You can hack Kim Chun-suk's smartphone for 20 minutes.]
The screen of my laptop changed. It displayed real-ti footage from the cara of Kim Chun-suk's hacked smartphone.
'...A short clip would be enough. Even a photo would do. Just give one shot.'
If this failed, I planned to storm in wearing a clown mask and forcibly take photos and videos.
-[Hehe. My pretty girls are healthy as always. What are you doing? Hurry up and take off your clothes.]
-[Ah... Yes.]
-[You too, don't just stand there. It's not like it's your first ti... Do I have to give orders every ti?]
-[Sob... Yes...]
-[Tsk! Don't cry. I hate the sound of won crying.]
-[...]
'...The audio is clear, but I can't see the video. Let's switch to selfie mode.'
When I switched to selfie mode, the video appeared.
I smiled in satisfaction as the screen was clear.
Kim Chun-suk had apparently thrown his phone on the table, but the room's interior was visible through a ceiling mirror.
The room had luxurious interiors that rivalled a high-end hotel. Kim Chun-suk sat naked on the bed, while the four girls slowly undressed.
"...You're using that tiny, limp thing to exploit won?"
I muttered in disbelief. They say any man with enough power can find won. That statent seed close to the truth.
-[You two, suck my thing. You two, co here.]
-[...Yes.]
-[Really... You'll give us the new song, right?]
-[Not just the song. Drama, movies, radio... Tell what you want. There's nothing in Korea I can't do. I'm the king of Korea.]
'What a joke. This guy's calling himself the king of Korea.'
Kim Chun-suk's "thing" took five minutes to get ready.
'I'd be ready in five seconds, but it takes him five minutes. I hope I don't get like that when I'm old.'
-[Enough. All of you, lie down on the bed. I'll taste each of you once.]
-[...]
-[I've been under a lot of stress lately, but your bodies are giving strength.]
The act lasted only ten minutes.
But Kim Chun-suk clung to the girls and didn't let them go.
Twenty minutes passed. The hacking duration ended. I replayed the footage on my laptop and smirked.
"This guy's done for. Should I sell this for money? ...No, no one would dare buy it out of fear of Kim Chun-suk. I'll have to expose it myself."
I packed my laptop and left the motel. Honestly, I wanted to burst in, kill Kim Chun-suk, and take the girls for myself, but I held back.
'Good thing they're not real-life idols. If they looked exactly like active female idols... I might've lost control.'
Soday, I'll definitely choose a ga with idols and indulge in wild sex. Absolutely.

I put on comfortable workout clothes and a clown mask, then began climbing the mountain. My destination was a remote village in the mountains of Gangwon Province. It was a village where Kim Chun-suk was suspected of hiding slush funds.
Since it didn't appear in online searches, I had no choice but to search for it myself.
Fortunately, thanks to Kang Eugene's information, I found the village in two hours.
Hiding behind a large tree, I used the scope I had stolen from the armoury to survey the village.
'Seven households. It's barely a village... and only n are here. I've co to the right place.'
The n posing as villagers were gangsters. Their nacing faces and large builds made it impossible to miss.
'...Hmm. About 30 of them? That's a lot. Well, it ans Kim Chun-suk has hidden a lot here.'
The suspected location of the slush funds was the largest house in the centre of the village. It seed to be the village hall, with over five cars parked and more than 20 people gathered.
CCTVs were installed throughout the village, and the n patrolled hourly.
'Those guys... Their bulging pockets suggest they're ard with handguns. Looks like they've received professional military training...'
I racked my brain.
'No need to rush. I have plenty of ti.'
It was 9 PM. There were about nine hours until dawn. Even if it got light, it didn't matter. The advantage of this place was its secrecy, and the disadvantage was the slow response ti for reinforcents.
'They're probably monitoring the village 24/7 from the village hall's CCTV.'
It would be best to avoid the CCTVs. And to leisurely collect Kim Chun-suk's slush funds, it would be better to kill everyone here. No, I'd have to kill them to get it.
'The answer is assassination.'
A plan quickly ford in my mind.
I've played many assassination gas, so I knew how to proceed.
'The definition of assassination is simple.'
If there are no witnesses, it's an assassination.
Having reached this conclusion, I decided to wait a bit. They were human, after all, and would eventually get sleepy and lower their guard.
'This place has never been discovered, so they're probably relaxed.'
I could tell just by looking at the patrolling n's faces. There was no tension, only boredom. They were doing it because it was their job. That's the vibe I got.
Midnight.
I began to move.
Yeongcheon Style Practical Technique: Gi-eunbo.
I began descending the mountain using the stealth step. Even stepping on fallen leaves made no sound. The stealth step was optimized for covert movent.
'Good. The Gi-eunbo is perfect.'
I headed toward an area without CCTVs.
A barbed wire fence blocked my path. It was over 1.5 ters tall with sharp spikes. It was impossible for an ordinary person to jump over. To get through, you'd need wire cutters.
But I had sothing far superior to wire cutters—Hwaryeonbido.
Yeongcheon Style Practical Technique: Saryeom.
I gripped the sword with both hands and swung with all my might.
The barbed wire was cut in an instant. It still looked difficult to pass through, so I used Saryeom a few more tis to clear the fence.
'What's amazing about Saryeom is that it makes no sound when cutting barbed wire.'
It's not completely silent. There's a faint rustling sound.
Saryeom produces little to no sound when successfully cutting a target.
After finely cutting the barbed wire, I quietly infiltrated the village.
