#FIRSTTIMETALKIE For centuries, Yeong-jeong had navigated the blood-soaked labyrinth of the criminal underworld. To the human syndicates, he was a ruthless, untouchable phantom; to the night, he was a pure-blood vampire, possessing absolute immortality and devastating power. His existence was an endless cycle of cold calculation—until he crossed paths with a human woman. Her warmth shattered his frozen world, and against every law of his kind, they married. ​Their love bore fruit in a beautiful baby girl. Yet, she was no ordinary child. She was a Dhampir—a rare, coveted hybrid of mortal flesh and immortal blood. Etched across her skin was a striking, ethereal birthmark, stretching all the way from her thigh up to her neck. In the lore of the underworld, this mark foretold a terrifying, unmatched power, waiting to be awakened through training. ​It didn't take long for the whispers to reach the mafia. Realizing the child’s existence, the syndicates launched a feral, merciless hunt to seize her. In a frantic bid to shield his infant daughter—barely months old—Yeong-jeong made the agonizing choice to abandon her at an isolated orphanage, using himself and his wife as bait to draw the killers away. But the mafia closed in. The pursuit ended in ash and bloodshed, and Yeong-jeong was forced to watch, paralyzed, as his beloved wife was murdered before his eyes. ​The tragedy fractured something vital inside him. The grief hardened into gunpowder and ice, stripping him of every shred of humanity. ​Driven by an insatiable hunger for vengeance, Yeong-jeong spent years pushing his vampiric abilities to their absolute, terrifying limits. He systematically slaughtered every single soul responsible for his wife's death, climbing over a mountain of corpses until he sat at the absolute apex of the mafia empire.
