The Grim Reaper. That was his nickname in the Tower. He got it from his class, Reaper. This was probably part of the reason why he was so strong. The Reaper class has faster progression[In Leveling aspects] and it's the strongest class. This is because of the Class Skill, Soul Harvest, which allows the user to instantly kill mobs and take their souls to the Underworld. It seems unfair, but you can only use the skill for 10 seconds. But Kim's power meant he could defeat around 25 mobs in 10 seconds. The cooldown is 30 seconds.
'So what is it? If you have nothing to say then get lost.'
He was kinda rude, but he didn't trust people as soon as he meets them. He's not the kind of person to trust someone blindly. He needs to get to know them first.
'Do you remember the Tower?'
Kim Jong-woo blinked and then pushed me and Nakatami inside, slamming the door tight shut.
'What do you know about that place?'
I stared at him for a second before answering his question.
'I'm from the Tower. I am a Mage and I was part of your team from Floor 90 onwards. Me, you, and the other member, Yui died but I was sent back into the past and wondered if you and she were sent back too. I came here, looking for answers.'
'Prove it.'
I stared at him blankly.
'How?'
'By showing me your powers.'
I created a blast of fire. Kim jumped back reflexively.
'You're the Fire Mage I saw in my dream?'
I was confused. Kim explained.
'I had a dream about the Tower. That's how I know about it. I was fighting minotaurs and there was you and a girl using guns, I'm guessing Yui? '
'Ah.'
I understood now. I was also impressed with his Japanese speaking skills. He was originally Korean, but he moved to Japan after World War III took place and Korea and Japan were involved in a lot of conflict at that time. It's confusing to think he moved to Sapporo after something like that happened. But he had learned Japanese extremely quickly. He was a bit older than me, and he was in the class above me.
'So you know who I am. What now?'
'Now, we train.'
