Chapter 1 The Mutant Girl

Skya country, at the border, Balthazar's Auction House.

Under the dark of night, a crowd muttered, bodies heating the atmosphere.

In the center of the auction house, a raised platform gradually ascended, exposing items covered by crimson velvet, creating an aura of mystery each crowd member craved to explore.

"I heard the organizers spent a fortune acquiring a rare treasure for this auction."

"What kind of treasure?"

"How exciting! I'm curious to see how unusual it is."

In a private box on the second floor of the auction house, slender fingers tapped the table and deep amber eyes carried a glint of humor. The words drifting up from below amused him; how many could even afford such priceless objects? On the stage, a man dressed in a black tailcoat and wearing a silver fox mask stepped forward. Half of his shoulder-length hair was tied back, a microphone held lightly in his hand. His voice was soft but carried a sharpness. "Welcome, everyone, to Balthazar's Auction House!"

The chatter in the stands subsided as goods of varied size, opulence, and value were sold, one by one, until only a single item remained.

Balthazar's Auction House, resting along the border of the countries Skya and Pliar, and backed by a mysterious organization, is a place where no one dared cause trouble. To create a scene here and now would mean death. Silence overwhelmed the senses in anticipation of the final reveal.

"The last item up for auction needs little explanation, so I won't say much. Resting here is The Immortal Man's Mutant! Bidding will start at ten million dollars," the auctioneer cried, his white-gloved hand tearing away the red velvet. The crimson drapery fell, revealing a girl cramped inside a large golden cage.

Her face, partially obscured by a light veil, exposed only her beautifully contrasting black hair and fair skin.
