Its been three months since the passing of Jung-hoon's family. He hasn't been outside in days and he has no desire to. After the incident, he moved into the college dorms because he couldn't bear to deal with the sympathy of his family.
He grew out his hair almost to his shoulders and even has a stubble growing across his face from never shaving since then. His dorm mates don't talk to him because when they try to he just ignores them anyway. The more he stayed by himself the more he felt regret, despair, resentment, sadness, hate. It all filled his head.
Soon after he started to gain a lot of negative thoughts that started to consume his mind.
"You should have been with them."
"Do you deserve to keep living?"
"Is it worth living with this pain you will forever feel?"
"what's the point"
"just end already it."
"end it.
"End It!"
"END IT!"
Feed up with dealing with these thoughts, he gets up from his bed of the dorm still wearing his pajamas and bare feet walks out the door of his room, and goes his way up to the roof of the dorm.
Standing on the ledge of the building he looks down. looking down the dark thoughts arise again.
"jump!"
Just hearing the single thought he took a step forward. Falling from the dorm he starts to experience what he hasn't felt ever since he lost his family.
He said in the most elegant and peaceful voice "finally some peace"
Still, in the slow fall, he realized that it's getting slower than slower and slower until he noticed that he actually came to a stop.
"What?"
"What's happening?"
Frozen in mid-air he starts looking around and realizes that everything around him has stopped. From the people walking in the distance; to the birds flying around him.
"What the hell is happening," Jung-hoon says while in utter shock at what is going on.
Then all of a sudden a blue icon screen that looks straight out of a video game shows right in front of him
[Start New Life] [Yes] [No]
Jung-hoon staring at the screen with confusion. Thinking to himself while still frozen in the air.
"Is this really happening?"
"If it's real will I just be reborn in this shitty world again?"
"I don't want to continue living in this shitty place anymore, just let me go"

"Haaaa, fine you win, I guess I'll just have to suck it up and live here again"

"Huh?"
[New Body Selected]

"Where are you sending me!?"
[Starting New Life In [Kesem] ]
[3-2-1-Start]
With a flash of a bright white light that blinds Jung-hoon's eyes, and suddenly the feeling of falling he screams not because he is falling again but because he can feel himself getting faster and faster
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
then there was a warmer feeling and a slower flow of air coming at him, meaning he must have slowed down. So finally he opens his eyes, but when he does he sees something unimaginable.
It was a vast and beautiful land, you can see everything from a luscious rainforest with high mountains with streams of water falling from the top, and beautiful creatures soaring through the air. You can see a seemingly blistering hot desert far off with dunes of sand and absolutely nothing in its lands. There is also an artic land that seems so cooled you can almost feel it down your spine from far off in the sky. There is so much that he can see from the sky that he cant totally analyze everything.
Off further in the distance, he notices a Huge kingdom with walls covering an enormous amount of land and the buildings seem of older age but it's still so amazing seeing all of it
As Jung-hoon was falling he suddenly realized.
"THIS WORLD IS HUGEEE!"
'I flew in a plane back on the earth and it seemed big but this is just insanity. There seems to be no end to this vast world'
'Usually, when you get so high up from earth you can see its curve of the round earth but here, i- it doesn't have a curve at all, it just goes on and on forever.'
Jung-hoon stopped thinking and for the first time in his life, he has never seen anything so...
"Amazing"
Suddenly a weird and anxious feeling falls upon him
"wait... I'M STILL FALLING!"
Looking down as the ground got closer and closer he had no choice but to scream...
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"OOF"
Laying on the floor, Jung-hoon just stays still wondering if he is still alive.
"ughhhh, I'm still alive???"
Looking around, he sees nothing but tall trees, and the sounds of animals all around. He then realizes that he is in the middle of the forest somewhere.
"Where the hell did I land?"

"hmm seems easy enough, but why the first part 'find clothes' last time I checked I still had on my paja---"
Looking down he finally realized that when he first started falling into this new world his clothes vanished.
"WHERE ARE MY CLOTHESSS!!!"
