Fabian, leader of the Elimination Program, was born in 2080.

His full name is Fabian Melbourne. His family was not well-off when he was a child; his mother was a prostitute who made a living by selling sex in bars every day.

When it comes to Fabian's origins, even his own mother doesn't know where he came from.

She only remembers passing out after serving a client one night and discovering she was pregnant months later during a checkup.

At the time, she considered terminating the pregnancy, but lacking the savings to cover the high cost of the procedure, she ultimately chose to go through with it.

But it wasn't at a large hospital; it was at a small clinic tucked away in a corner of the neighborhood.

After the procedure, however, her belly grew larger by the day, even outpacing the growth rate of a normal infant. Left with no other choice, she eventually had to accept reality.

As she recalls, that child clung to her like a demon, impossible to shake off.

The pregnancy made her body bloated and robbed her of her former beauty, which meant she could no longer continue working as a prostitute as she had before.

Losing her source of income also left her unable to provide proper nutrition for the child in her womb.

So the two of them struggled to survive: the child suffered from malnutrition and stunted growth, while the mother borrowed money from anyone she could to stay alive.

This went on for months, and eventually, she managed to hold on until her due date and gave birth to the child safely.

But when the doctor asked for the child's name, Fabian's mother was at a loss.

She only remembered that the client's accent sounded German, so she casually gave Fabian a German name.

Since she couldn't find the child's father, she simply gave him her own surname—and that is how Fabian got his name.

In the delivery room, as she gazed at the infant's delicate face, there was a moment when she truly wanted to raise this child herself rather than send him to an orphanage.

In the end, Fabian's mother chose to take the child home and assume the role of head of the household.

Little did she know that the life that followed would mark the beginning of a true nightmare for the two of them—and would shape Fabian's tragic childhood.

A family cobbled together like this was bound to have an unhappy future, and sure enough, after giving birth, her health deteriorated significantly, and she had taken out a lot of high-interest loans during her pregnancy.

Consequently, Fabian's mother began working even harder than she had during her pregnancy.
