The Author's POV

News about the Union's upcoming announcement spread like wildfire throughout the whole human domain.

It was the first time in a long time that the Union declared such an event.

'An event that will completely change the fate of humanity.'

Was what the Union proclaimed when announcing the event.

All TV broadcasts and news stations were called up to stream the event so that everyone in the world could see what exactly the Union was planning on announcing.

Judging from the scale of the event and the Union's words, everyone in the human domain paid close attention to the date of the ceremony as they eagerly anticipated the announcement.

Of course, not everyone was happy with the news, such as the Monolith, but they could do nothing about it.

Having signed a ceasefire agreement that would still last for a bit, they could only watch the events unfold.

Of course, they already knew what it was about since the demons were aware of what was going on.

Since the announcement happened, a week had passed and it was now the day of the event.

"Let me in."

"I've got an invitation, look here."

"Don't cut in line."

A bustling crowd stood below the entrance of the Union as reporters swarmed the place.

"Please stay in a single line."

Helplessly staring at the crowd that was trying to get into the premises, wearing a black tuxedo, Kevin tried to keep their huge numbers in check.

Although he was invited to attend the ceremony, he was still a rookie. He needed to wait by the door and check all of the invitations before he could actually attend the ceremony.

"It's the Starlight guild!"

It was right then, that too out of nowhere, the busy crowd split apart and paved the way for a handsome youth with blonde hair and emerald-colored eyes.

With respect and solemnity, everyone watched as Jin slowly made his way toward the entrance of the ceremony area.

"Here."

There were around fifteen attendants, but out of the fifteen of them, Jin chose to head towards Kevin's side.

As he handed him the letter, the edges of his lips curled upwards a little.

This obviously did not go unnoticed by Kevin, who forced himself to smile with all his might.

"Jin Horton, is it?"

He said, trying his best to keep his formalities. But that obviously didn't last for long as Jin raised his brow and pointed at the invitation, where the words 'Jin Horton' were imprinted.

"You blind or something?"

Kevin's face instantly crumbled apart.

"Yo—"

"I guess we're done here."

But just as Kevin was about to say something, snatching the letter from his hands, Jin calmly walked into the venue.

Turning his head and staring at Jin's figure from behind, Kevin's chest heaved up and down unevenly.

For a moment, he was about to lose it.
