He greeted me with a sweet kiss before heading to the bathroom. Just then, my phone started ringing from another room, and I rushed over to check it, half-expecting it to be Mia calling off our plans. But instead, all I saw was “No Caller ID” flashing on the screen.

I set my phone aside and let it ring- seventeen times- before finally picking up. “Hello?” All I could hear was this heavy breathing on the other end. Then a voice broke through, “Break up with your boyfriend.” My heart raced as my eyes widened in disbelief. “Excuse me?” I shot back, my mind swirling with questions like ‘Who is this?’ and ‘Why do I need to break up with Brendan?’

Without thinking too much, I blurted out, “Who is this?” More heavy breathing filled the silence until a deep, distorted voice delivered eight words that would stick with me forever: “Hello Seo, this is the Hotline to Heaven.”

As we reach the bar area in the basement, my mind drifts back to that night when we had a few too many drinks and ended up with hickeys all over us. But this time is different- before I know it, he grabs a bottle and smashes it against my head.I stagger back, feeling warmth trickle down from my scalp.

Part of me braces for him to come after me again, but instead there’s nothing but eerie silence enveloping me.

When I finally open my eyes, Brendan is nowhere to be seen. Cautiously creeping behind the counter, I glance down to find him gasping for air, the piece of glass embedded in his neck. Panic floods through me. “Shit,” I say, “I just killed my boyfriend.”

Kai fiddled with his goggles, trying to pick the coolest stance, all the while staring at the dying man in front of him. The man was armed with equipment not of this era, but the only thing that caught Kai's attention was the ‘T’ logo in the centre of his chest. It was the mystery man who finally broke the silence. ‘You fucking psychopath, We keep coming until the kid dies-’ Before he could finish his sentence, Kai adjusted his glasses and sliced the man's body in half. There was only one thing on his mind as he looked at the corpse: What he was going to eat tonight. Food was more important than protecting the Heir of Time today.

For millions of years, there was a group that had maintained the balance on the planet and ensured its survival. Kaizen was now on the verge of a difficult period.
