Seok-jin leads us to a private room, his expression somber and heavy with the weight of the secrets he is about to reveal. As we settle into our seats, he takes a deep breath, his gaze distant and haunted.
"Hwang has been reincarnating for centuries," he begins, his voice low and measured. "He has lived through more than two hundred years, experiencing countless lifetimes and bearing witness to the rise and fall of empires."
I feel a jolt of shock at his words, my mind reeling with the implications. To have lived so long, to have seen so much... it was almost beyond comprehension.
"But with each reincarnation," Seok-jin continues, his voice heavy with sorrow, "Hwang found himself growing weary of the cycle, of the endless repetition of life and death. He began to seek a way out, a means of escaping the curse of immortality and finding the peace of a final rest."
