Prometheus caused the Awakeners to mutate.

After the Day of Change, Awakeners began to mutate.

The conclusion was the same, but the process differed. The former had a clear cause, while the latter was nothing more than a baseless rumor. However, sometimes, the cause of a problem lay hidden within a rumor.

Sa-young stared intently at the black figure riding atop the massive whale. Indeed, Cha Uijae's hair had lightened since three months ago. He twitched his fingers and asked,

"Do they know why or how the mutations happen?"

The younger Mackerel eagerly clapped his fingers together.

"That’s the big question, isn't it? Why do Awakeners mutate after the Day of Change? How? Why?"

He shrugged his shoulders with exaggerated drama.

"No one knows! The most important part is completely missing. But the evidence of mutated Awakeners exists. There are testimonies from people who witnessed it, and there are photos."

"......"

"So people start filling in the blanks themselves, making up plausible-sounding explanations. Curses from the system, karma from the Awakeners, someone's revenge… The stories are quite creative."

To someone who knew the truth, these stories were laughable. But it wasn’t a matter to laugh off. Fear without substance had the power to paralyze people's minds. Sa-young tilted his head. The smile had disappeared from the younger Mackerel’s face. The dim blue light cast eerie shadows across his features.

"The speed at which rumors are spreading is alarming. I’m sure many Hunters have heard it by now—that Awakeners are mutating. Some Hunters actually believe it. Right, Hyung?"@@novelbin@@
