Life smiled only upon the chosen ones.
As for Kim... he was an outcast of fate itself.
Luck never favored him, not even once.
He turned to them and said:
"You are truly good... I envy you. Power... a happy life... But me? I am tired of life."
He remembered his mother's face, which began to fade in his imagination.
He loved life only for the sake of his mother. He wanted to become something people would be proud of, to bring happiness to them.
"I was a foolish child... I thought that the amount of love I gave to others... would come back to me one day."
But the truth was harsh:
Everything he loved... he lost.
And everything he hated... became a part of him.
Raiden looked at him and said in astonishment:
"All this for her?"
Kim put his hand toward his chest... then tore off the front part of his body near his heart.
The piece of flesh fell, and Raiden, Morgan, and Aristra looked on in shock.
Kim said in a faint yet terrifying voice:
"Look... I am devoid of anything... I am a hollow person."
Morgan asked him fearfully:
"Are you... truly human?"
Kim answered him:
"My judgment of your actions... depends on what you do now."
Then he threw the piece onto the ground and said:
"Shall we begin? Or not?"
Raiden said:
"So, you know the location of the artifact."
Kim placed his hand on the eye patch that was absorbing a large part of his power. Amun tried to stop him, but Kim tore it off.
Immediately, a terrifying aura flowed out of him, shaking the air around them.
The clock hands in his eye spun wildly to the right and left.
He said firmly:
"Yes... it is with me. But not as an artifact... but a partner."
