Ryu Han-woo, your average 19-yo, underpaid part-timer, was fed up with his life.
When he'd come home, the bills and rent piling up would haunt him, day by day, he lost sleep, weight and his will to live on.
He doesn't remember when he started having these thoughts, but he knew he would be eaten up by debt and sorrow.
He had no family to rely on, his relatives cut him off for good as they presumed him to be a burden they'd have to carry.
Ryu Han-woo was on the verge of death anyway, had it not been starvation, it'd be due to the incapability to stay on this place where he felt he did not belong.
As he rushed home, he readily prepared himself as he walked up the stairs, all the way to the top of the apartment complex's rooftop.
As he walked and sat on the edge, he began reminiscing all the happy things in his life..
Not that he had any.
"This shit sucks so bad.. why do I even try?"
Ryu Han-woo sighed heavily, his dark, drained eyes showed he could no longer take it.
He stood up before taking a deep breath, preparing to set himself free, once and for all.
He closed his eyes, spread out his arms as his body started to fall, just waiting to hit the ground faster..
WHOOSH—
He saw.. a portal? He thought to himself..
"What? That's not real right? Am I hallucinating?"
But more than that, he had also realized that the said portal was just where he was falling.
He'd experience another type of shock as he fell into the portal, taking him to another dimension.
The feeling of going through the portal was sickening.
It made him feel nauseous, like he could've thrown his organs up from the discomfort.
"Agh!"
He groaned as he hit the ground, landing on his face.
He looked around at his surroundings, not sure of where he is..
His surroundings resembled a.. forest?
Honestly, he couldn't think rationally at the moment.
He just wanted to end it all and be free, but what has the situation turned into?!
Ryu Han-woo's thoughts were piling up like a mountain, he was too occupied with asking himself questions to make sure he was sane to notice..
DRIP.. DRIP..
His head was bleeding.
He quickly wiped it off, grabbing a sense of awareness as he stared at the blood on his hands.
The impact of the fall must've caused his head to bleed.
It was a pretty nasty fall..
