《 E.D.E.N Protocol 》Episode 2 : Ghost in the Data

"Emotions have frequency.
Humans can’t hear them. Machines can."

– Yohan, from Lazarus Internal Lecture Notes

[2009, Pyongyang – Lazarus Internal Simulation Room]

"This isn't just encryption.
It's emotional memory—stored in code."

Under the flickering fluorescent light, a gaunt young programmer pointed at a black screen.
His name was Yohan, an information security engineer at Lazarus, a secret unit under North Korea’s Reconnaissance General Bureau.
But in truth, he was its architect — the one who gave emotions a digital skeleton..

“Machines were never meant to feel,” said Dr. Ri Soon-ki, Yohan’s mentor and one of Lazarus’s original architects.
"That goes beyond ideological control—it's the blueprint for rewriting humanity."

"That’s why we need this.
Before they design humanity, we must stop them."

The air hung heavy and cold. Rows of server racks stood like tombstones beneath decades of dust.
Yohan slowly pulled out a USB stick.
Handwritten on the blackened label was one word: ‘EDEN’.

"Until I hand this to the child...
this world will never be safe."

He held his breath and entered a line of code into the console.

Protocol initializing…
Emotion module unstable…
Target entity not found

Another failure.

His hand trembled.
Despite dozens of attempts, EDEN would not activate.
There was only one reason—Jeong Eden was not there.

[Same time, outskirts of Seoul – NIS Intelligence Analysis Room]

"Take a look at this."

Chief Kangchul zoomed in on a digital security log.
A faint trace—too intricate for any civilian to leave.

"This... it’s Yohan."

Deputy Director Lee Soonsin froze.
They thought he’d vanished eight years ago.
But now, he was moving again.

"GFC’s experiment is converging with Lazarus... and Jeong Eden is the key.
This time, we act first."

[Seoul – Jeong Eden’s Room]

The laptop on his desk blinked unexpectedly.
"A connection issue…?"

He casually closed the window,
but somewhere deep in the display,
a faint ripple echoed—like a phantom's touch.

It was Yohan’s fingerprint in code — invisible to the eye, but undeniable to the system.

"Do not hide your emotions.
They are your weapon."


The invisible war has begun.

No sirens. No smoke.

Just code, whispers, and vanishing names.
