Just a reminder, I know that there is a character named 'Zon' in the manhwa itself and well yeah I did that on purpose in creating my OC lol. I just thought it would be funny, plus their personalities are totally the opposite. Keep reading, I find it very funny honestly, lmao.
Btw, the image above is what Zon (Zonkiro my OC) looks like/portrayer. It's edited 'kay? I changed the eye color to yellow.
And remember, I don't own the pic I just got it from Pinterest. Ctto.^^
ZINLESTER'S POV
'What the fuck?'
O_____o <-------- Zin
^_______________^ <-------- Zon
"Z-Zon?!?!" I exclaimed, absolutely bewildered of my younger half-brother standing right before my eyes!!
'What the hell is he doing here?!'
Zon waved at me eagerly. "Freak!! Long time no see!" he...greeted?
'Why the hell does he talk like that?' A frown crept up to my face.
Unexpectedly, Zon came up to me and wrapped his arms around my figure. Holding me tightly, he squeezed me as he buried his face onto my shoulder.
".....I missed you.....Big Sis Zin..." he mumbled.
Sighing, I began to wrap around his figure my arms as well as an exchange. Zon is my younger half-brother who is also a direct descendant. Full name: Zonkiro Klavis. And I really didn't expect him to be here.
A moment later, we separated from each other. "Why are you here.....?" my eyes scanned to analyze him. Zon's body has grew and as well as his height, his slightly taller than me now, last time he only reaches my ears. His shoulders are also a lot broader and he has a quite masculine body now however he still has a small frame but not smaller like in the past.
What didn't change is his teen-looking face. He still looks young which he is. Our age gap is five years. Platinum is also his color but his eyes are vibrant yellow. Meaning he obtains the yellow crystal.
Yellow crystal means willpower and optimism. Meaning to say, he mostly follows what his heart desires and not his head. He lets his emotions and feelings get over him, which is not all that bad since he has great willpower. Excluding that, in short, he's a total complete idiot.
He's from the 'Zo Branch' which are very hyper. I don't like them. Except for Zon (sikE) of course and her mother.
Rubbing his nose with his index finger, he grinned at me cheekily as he let out a cheeky and low giggle. "I came here for you, obviously!!" he revealed enthusiastically.
"Why did you follow me?!" I asked slightly furious. Why did he follow me? I don't want anyone to follow me especially from the family. I don't want to have any connection with them anymore, and yet...
Zon's eyes saddened. "Are you not happy to see me." He looked like he was about to cry with those stupid puppy eyes.
'His appearance changed, but his nasty and childish attitude still remained.' Frowning, I deadpanned to myself.
"I-It's not like that..." quickly clarifying, I approached him and patted his head. "I'm just.....I'm just surprised...."
Zon's eyes widened before it shined again like the bright sun and then hugged me and buried his face onto my chest. "Waaaahhh!! Hehehehe! I thought you didn't want to see me, Big Sis! I'd be really upset!!" His outburst made me grumble.
"But you're still not answering my question, Zon." I persisted in a low tone.
"Eeehhh??? Does it even matter when you're most handsome brother is here?? You should be honored and grateful!! Every girl would be desperate to be in your place right now~" he only giggled like a child and embraced me tighter.
Rolling my eyes, feeling sorry for myself being with an idiot. Is it just me or why does he seem similar to Von and his crackhead nature??
But then, he again let go of me as he welcomed me with a stoic and serious expression. A total complete one from before. My eyes went wide as I feel astonished of his sudden change.
'Talk about mood swing...'
"Big Sis Zin," he began. Gulping while sweating, I hummed in response to let him continue. "This is very serious so you'll have to listen carefully."
Nodding, I complied. "What is it?"
Taking in a deep breath, Zon looked utterly nervous resulting me to feel nervous as well. What is this serious thing his talking about?
"Big Sis......everyone back in the Abandoned Floor....." he trailed off.
Closing his eyes, he averted his gaze from me as my eyes stole a glimpse of his clenched fists.
"Everyone thinks that you are dead back at the Abandoned Floor."
"..............................."
-__- <-------- Zin
"Well, yeah. Since I was announced missing so most probably assumed that I'm dead or something." I deadpanned as I recalled what Novick told me back then.
"Idiot!" Zon insulted me and I was offended. It hurts to be called an 'idiot' when the one calling you is an idiot himself.
My younger brother grumbled something under his breath which I couldn't care less what the heck it is. "Whatever. Anyways, we got no time to talk." He changed the topic. Arching a brow, I stared at him puzzled.
"I want to know more about what happened since you left us, Big Sis Zin. But we need to pass this silly ass game first." He complained with a frown.
Rolling my eyes, I placed a hand on my hip as I tossed him one of the bullets I got from the two perv Regulars. He hastily caught it with both of his palms as he looked stunned. "You already got one?!"
"Yeah. Now shoot me and I'll shoot you. Let's see each other at the Archimedes then." Beginning to load in my gun with the bullets, I explained to him before I pointed the gun at him.
"Huh? But we will get separate as soon as we shoot each other. Let's catch up first!!" Zon beamed gleefuly.
I secretly sighed as my face secretly scrunched up in guilt.
'I hate to say this, but as much as possible, I need to avoid Zon. For now, at least. I'm not yet ready to tell him what happened and what he's about to tell me.'
Decided, I spoke. "Stop being a whiney and let's get this over with." I said.
"Big Siiiissss!!! C'mon why do you wanna go so soooooonn????" He again whined as he stomped his right foot. What a kid.
Annoyed by his remark, an irk kark popped on my head as I retorted at him. "I just said to stop whining and let's get going! This is no time to chat!" I made up an excuse.
The guy before me pouted at my statement with his eyes lightly glaring at me in a childish manner.
However, his next words caught me by surprise.
"Are you trying to avoid me?"
I slightly flinched. 'He still knows me well, huh?' Coming back to my composure, I shook my denying his assumption. "Just shoot me, you idiot."
Sighing, my younger brother complied as he pointed his loaded gun at me. We then shot each other and as a result, we both got transported to the Archimedes.

The First Day After The Departure Of Archimedes
โโโ
Finally it's the next day. After that unexpected encounter of me and my younger brother, I have become more cautious. 'Was that idiot (Zon) the one I bumped into last time?...' A speculation popped up in my head.
There might be more Klavis here, but I still doubt that. Having a Klavis climbing the Tower is very rare. We are really meant to be hidden.
However, it's different in my case.
'Aguero.....'
*SIGH!*
'Why the hell am I yearning for him...?' Grumbling in annoyance, I frowned.
It's the next day and we're just given a chill time. I actually wanna go out and swim in the pool side since I've never actually tried that before which may be funny. What do you think? Our place was hella cold, no way am I swimming there.
Sadly, I can't. If I go out now, Isu along with Endorsi and the others will probably notice me in a blink of an eye. Plus, Endorsi is after my head, and I don't want to explain anything to them, actually I can't. I promised Bam, and I won't break that promise.
Well, for now at least.
I'm thinking of putting up a disguise since I don't really wanna be whooped by Endorsi, also, I got no time to deal with her or the others. But the problem is, I can't go out because we're technically hostages of FUG. I need to go to the 3rd Floor of this Archimedes to get to the 'Item Store'. They said it has all the items from every Workshop of each Floor. It may also be free.
Unfortunately, I tried a couple of times and it was a fail.
'Freaking iron face. I will shatter you into bits!!'
Sighing, I again leaned onto the glass wall here in our luxury room, I can see Regulars having fun and are enjoying themselves. I wish all.
"Yo, Zin." Catching me by surprise, Ran's voice lingered in my ears as he called for me. Turning to him with a hum, I gave him a questioning look on why he was calling me all of a sudden. He was standing beside the door frame with the door opened since he entered.
The blue kid pointed a thumb at his back. "Don't you wanna go to the pool?" he cocked a brow in an arrogant way.
Copying his actions, I also cocked a brow in an arrogant way. "Aren't we allowed?"
"Viole said we could." Just by saying that meant that Bam convinced the other FUG members. How lucky are we.
Releasing a grumble, I slowly stood up and dusted off the hoodie I was wearing. "I don't have a swimsuit though." I informed nonchalantly.
"We're gonna buy one, don't worry." I was about to say another excuse but Ran immediately left after that with the door slamming behind him.
My face dropped. 'Guess I'll just have to go...'
โโโ
"Jue Viole Grace!" a voice shouted.
'Gosh...too much attention....' I complained in my head as I hid my face more inside my hoodie's hood.
Now I am wearing a simple an oversized black hoodie that reaches my thighs, covering my indigo with white linings two-piece hater top bikini. It's a sporty two-piece swimsuit coz I don't have the guts to actually wear a bikini that reveals your cleavage.
Isn't it obvious since I'm completely covering it with a large hoodie?
"What's the point of wearing a swimsuit when you're just covering it with a hoodie?" Ran and Novick deadpanned in unison, popping at my sides suddenly.
Jumping slightly in surprise, I hugged myself as I feel offended. I gave the two glares. "None of your business."
"A.A.'s not here so I don't think you have to be worried that he'll get mad at you." Ran boringly said.
"I don't care if he's angry or not! And what makes you certain that he's not here?"
The blue boy shrugged his shoulders. "Just a hunch."
I only narrowed my eyes at him.
"You should be more confident, Zin," averting my gaze from Ran, I shifted to Novick as he spoke which caught my attention. "You're pretty enough so you don't have to be self-conscious." Novick blankly finished as he looked down at me.
Clicking my tongue, I grumbled and folded my arms in front of my chest as my face held an unpleased expression. "It's not that I'm not confident. I-I'm just not used to wearing such revealing clothes...."
"Then why wear it in the first place if you don't have the guts to?" Ran again deadpanned in an annoyingly nonchalant way.
Pissed, I again shot him a glare as I held myself back from strangling him to death. "So what if I wanna try it out?! Besides, I look pretty good in it..." I mumbled the last sentence as I avoided making eye contact from the two.
'Damn. I can really be a girl sometimes, huh?....'
People kept on murmuring and gossiping around us. Well, it's not a surprise since we literally got a Slayer Nominee with us. However, if I revealed myself, it will probably twice the count.
In which I don't really give a sh*t anymore.
Gazing up, I looked up at the sky slightly. I still couldn't believe that Bam's actually here and alive! But I don't know if I'm supposed to be glad, depressed or furious. Bam experienced a lot from all these years. And it's all because of FUG. Bam hasn't told me the whole story but that's probably because he doesn't want me to get trouble especially with FUG around. He's probably still not allowed to interact with any of his friends.
Pushing that away for a while, I'm concerned about Michael, Gyetang, and Dan's condition. Are they alright? Are they in trouble? Are they hurt? I know nothing.
But the person that I'm worried the most, is Aguero.
'Where could he be....?'
At the corner of my, a figure caught my attention. Shifting to my left slightly, my eyes went wide as I made eye contact with Endorsi!
O__O <------- Zin
Endorsi was being interviewed by some reporters and she was being broadcasted live on the large screen. Her eyes were pierced onto me and I felt chills travel down on my body.
Immediately I averted my gaze and looked forward. Geez...Endorsi looked like she was about to eat me alive.
Seeing her reaction makes me don't want to reveal myself more. What if it causes trouble, not only for me and Bam? Wait, why am I thinking about this anyway? It's obvious that I shouldn't reveal myself. Yeah, right how dumb of me.
'I'll just tell Bam that I'm not feeling wellโ'
*PULL!*
Someone pulled off my hood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O________________O <------- Zin
"What theโ" looking back, I went to find out who was the culprit and guess what.
He grinned widely before striking a pose. "Yo."
It's freaking Zon!!
>__________< <------- Zin
'God kill me.' Face palming myself, I closed my eyes as I released a defeated and exasperated sigh.
"Sup, Big Sis!! I came here to hang out with you!!" Zon grinned widely as he finished his statement in an enthusiastic way.
^________________^ <------- Zon
"'Big Sis'?" shifting to the source, I see Novick and Ran questioned in confusion as they both tilted their head on the side in unison.
My face dropped. Why does Zon have to reveal me?!?!???! Plus, I'm supposed to stay away from him, where the heck did he came from??!
Then, Bam quietly came over to me and stood by my side. "Acquaintance?" he asked, confirming. However, I didn't answer his question.
"Who is this?! Hey, you!! You're not welcome here, so scram!!" Xiaxia suddenly butted in and ordered my younger brother which I don't really mind. I honestly want him to vanish from my sight too. He's presence ticks me off.
Slowly, I looked at the corner of my eyes to steal a glimpse from Iron Face. His eyes are glued onto my younger brother. This is not good.
If they found out that Zon is also a Klavis, they will take him too for sure!! But this idiot really revealed himself, damn it. What should I do? We don't really look anything alike, but the fact that we have the same hair color is not helping. But luckily, it seems like his medallion can't be seen and he's not even wearing his ear piece. Lucky. Even if we do have the same hair color, the proof of being a Klavis is the medallion and the ear piece.
'Guess I'll just have to lie...I'm sorry Zon.' Zon is a very sensitive person. My eyes saddened at the thought that I will have to lie to him. But this is the only way.
My younger brother slowly turned his head to face Xiaxia and gave her an innocent puzzled look. "I'm here for my sister." He truthfully said and pointed a finger at me. I flinched.
'Idiot!' Eyes widening, I glared at Zon while gritting my teeth and furrowed eyebrows.
This idiot literally revealed that he is also a Klavis indirectly!! FUG is right in front of him!! What the hell, he might be taken as hostage too!!
"Sister...?" Xiaxia mumbled, puzzled. She shifted to me and narrowed her eyes at me. Soon other teammates of mine looked at me as well, their eyes glued onto my figure. However, my face showed nothing.
I only stared at Zon blankly and plainly. 'This idiot...' What I'm about to do is wrong but for now it's the right thing to do. For his sake.
Inhaling, I build up my guts and courage for my outburst. "Sister? I don't even know you." Pretending to be innocent, I said plainly.
Zon who was taken a back, looked at me with big eyes as he blinked them simultaneously. His shoulders even jumped in surprise as he took a step back. "H-Huh?โ"
"Let's go." I invited before walking away first as I put back on my hoodie. I know that I won't be able to lie to them but pretending to be dumb is the only way I can do. I can't afford for them to take Zon too.
I know that this will affect Zon. He is a very sensitive person when it comes to this kind of things, he is very clingy and your typical affectionate brother. So, ignoring and avoiding him will really hurt his feelings. It will make his happy and enthusiastic personality fade.
'But I can't let him stick to me when I'm currently with FUG...'
Sooner or later, I could feel the others starting to follow my actions as well. Walking away. I lost my mood to go in the pool and swim. Just knowing that I've hurt Zon makes me feel so guilty.
But this is for his own good. All I can do is to hope that he will understand it somehow. Why the hell doesn't he even know that this is FUG?
*SIGH!*
"I don't know what's up with you but you better tell us later." Ran popped up on my side with Novick. Of course they're gonna force me to spill out the beans in some time.
"Ms. Zin, if your resisting because you're with FUG I'll try to sort out some things out for you." Bam also popped up on my other side.
His statement touched me. I was grateful but I have to decline his help. "No, Bam. It's all good." I reassured before flashing a small smile.
Half of me is saying that I'm doing this for my brother's sake but I know I'm doing this because.......I'm a coward.
'Right...I'm a total coward.'
I'm running away. I know that I still don't have the guts to tell Zon everything that has happened to me. The situation
