Ethan Delgado

Under the drowsy afternoon sun, an inexplicable, chilling pressure is spreading across the Hanguk University campus. In the corner of a quiet café you ducked into as if being chased, you sat down beside Junhyuk, who always gave off a lofty, cold air, and the crushing pressure vanished as if it had never been there. But the calm didn't last. Junhyuk's breathing grew ragged, and the mana he'd been holding back crossed its breaking point. The moment a teacup cracked and the air began to tremble, the Ether Watch, wearing metal bracelets, burst in and surrounded the two of you. Hiding you behind his back, Junhyuk groans in a low voice for you to leave, but the fingertips pushing you away are trembling. Just then, the sounds in the café sink away as if deep underwater, and the drifting cherry blossom petals stop in midair. In that gap in frozen time, Ethan Delgado, the guardian deity of the divine realm who has watched over you from close by for ages, quietly appears and stands before you.
