Seok Jun, on the rooftop, spoke to his underlings, "That guy, Jin Hwa, he's strong, but he's not as strong when it comes to killing." He laughed with his underlings, who were discussing Jin Hwa behind his back.
A dark cloud suddenly formed over the rooftop, and before Seok Jun could react, a lightning strike hit him.
After the lightning strike hit Seok Jun, he vanished into thin air, and the dark cloud dissipated, leaving his underlings in a state of disbelief and confusion.
The disbelief of his underlings was evident as they exchanged bewildered dialogues. One of them questioned, "Huh, where did he go? What? Did he get vaporized? What the heck happened? Should we report it to the principal?"
Another responded with a scoff, "You dumbass, do you think they will believe you? 'Lightning struck Seok Jun and he vanished'? You think they'll believe that?"
...
Seok Jun found himself in a river of blood, disoriented and bewildered. He questioned his surroundings, muttering to himself, "What... where am I? What is this? Hell? Did I die because of the lightning strike?"
A commanding voice silenced him, and he turned to see a figure approaching. The voice revealed his appearance as Hades. Seok Jun was taken aback, stuttering, "Hades? Like in the fantasy stories? Mythology?"
Hades cautioned him, "Watch your mouth, mortal. I could take your soul if I wanted to." Seok Jun felt a shiver of fear but couldn't help but ask, "So what do you want? Why did you call me here?"
Hades looked at Seok Jun and said, "It's simple. I just need you to kill someone." Seok Jun responded, "That's the reason? Kill someone? That's easy. So who is it?"
Hades replied, "You've already fought him, but you lost." Seok Jun questioned, "I already fought him?" As he thought back, he asked, "Wait, you're talking about Jin Hwa? That weird guy?"
Hades confirmed, "Correct." Seok Jun hesitated, realizing it was a challenging mission because he had lost to Jin Hwa before. "I don't know why, but he's weird. He can summon a weapon out of thin air," he explained.
Hades responded, "That's why I called you here. I'm going to give you the power to kill this so-called Jin Hwa." Seok Jun agreed without hesitation.
Hades nodded and said, "Very well. I will grant you the strength of the dead." Suddenly, Seok Jun was teleported back to the rooftop.
Seok Jun's underlings were left in confusion and disbelief as they couldn't find him. One of them called out to Seok Jun, "Oi, Seok Jun! Where did you go? Are you dead?"
Seok Jun, reappearing on the rooftop, answered, "Shut up. I'm not dead. I just received a revelation. Follow me; we're going to kill that guy."
