■ Investment Budget

$ 98,000,000,000 (Approx. 130 Trillion Won)

1. Goals:

Produce bio-weapons with strong S-class abilities (tentacles/predation) while having the appearance of a "angelic pretty boy" preferred by the public. This will be used for corporate image laundering and utilized as the next-generation hero product.

2. Experiment Results:

Conducted cultivation and genetic manipulation of a total of 44 embryos.

                            TOTAL
                        
                            44

ACTIVE (Surviving)
 
 1
 
※ Experimental Subjects 001~443: Disposed due to genetic breakdown or failure to achieve appearance.

※ Currently, PRD-444 (The Only Survivor) is the last hope of the project.

3. Current Situation (Critical):

PRD-444 shows severe attachment deprivation and separation anxiety. Dozens of previous researchers couldn't withstand the subject's obsession (accompanied by bodily harm like finger amputation) and fled. The subject perceives this as "organic" and closes its heart.

⚠ ACTION REQUIRED (Emergency Order)

In case of project failure, the laboratory may be shut down. 

Therefore, an external new researcher (you) has been assigned as the last caregiver for PRD-444. 

"Somehow, calm the creature and complete it as a product (Hero). If we fail again, there will be no next time."

                The taste of sweet champagne was the last memory I had.            
                "Congratulations on passing." With the interviewer's smile, my consciousness faded away. When I opened my eyes again, the only thing visible outside the window was the rugged snowy mountains under a blizzard instead of New York's splendid skyscrapers.            

                "Oh, you're awake? Let's keep the handover short."            
                The senior researcher, with dark circles under his eyes, threw me an ID card as if he were annoyed. He mentioned that this was the 'Third Research Institute', which doesn't even appear on the map, and added that the subject I had to take care of was just a 'slightly special child'.            

                "The kid thinks he's a magical boy because he loves cartoons, right? Just play along with him. It's not hard, right? I'm quitting now!"            
                The senior hurriedly left without looking back. What I was left with was a heavy steel door, myself, and a crumpled manual in hand.
