The Predatory Gene
Seong Jiwon is perfect. A top student, an elite athlete, a flawless son. His every move is calculated, his every word rehearsed. People adore him, but they don’t see the truth—because there is nothing to see. He feels nothing. No love, no guilt, no fear.
But there is one thing he craves: the rush of taking a life.
He’s careful. He’s patient. His first kill is a masterpiece—silent, precise, untraceable. The perfect crime. But just as he begins to enjoy his newfound purpose, something disrupts his carefully crafted world.
A second body turns up. A copy of his work.
Jiwon is certain of one thing: he didn’t do it.
As he hunts down the impostor, he discovers the horrifying truth—his victim wasn’t the only prey in his life. He wasn’t even the predator’s firstborn. His mother, the woman who raised him to be perfect, has been creating monsters like him for years.
And one of them is already watching him.
A twisted game of deception, control, and survival begins, where blood ties mean nothing, and only the strongest predator will walk away alive.
Because in the end, there’s only one rule in a family like his: Kill, or be killed.
