El hyunlix
By @Noemy Encarnación
In the rain-slicked streets of modern South Korea, Hyunjin Felix lives a double life. To his classmates at the prestigious Seoul National University, he is a cold, untouchable model student who keeps everyone at arm's length. In reality, he is a starving vampire, hiding his bloodlust in a world where no supernatural powers exist to help him. When a human student accidentally discovers his secret, Hyunjin's carefully constructed facade begins to shatter. Lacking any magical cheats or thrall abilities, he must rely purely on his sharp wits and physical prowess to survive. As the university elite close in with dark suspicions, Hyunjin is forced to navigate a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Every heartbeat threatens to expose his monstrous nature, forcing him to choose between his fading humanity and the raw instinct to survive. The stakes are simple: keep the secret, or become a dissected lab specimen in a world that fears the abnormal.
