Jin, finding himself in a hotel room, wakes up at 8:30 a.m. and gets up. Approaching a mirror, he begins to observe his reflection. Despite two days without training, he notices that his body remains as muscular and well defined as ever. Jin seems impressed by his physical condition which remains remarkable even without recent training sessions,
Jin, asserting confidently, said to himself, "I've always been so muscular anyway, it's nothing new." He then strikes a pose and adjusts his hair with a touch of pride
Suddenly, Jin decides to take a shower and brush his teeth to start his day. After a few minutes he is ready, wearing a black jacket, a white t-shirt and black pants. He leaves his hotel room and, walking down the corridor, he attracts all the female eyes with his undeniable charisma
Leaving the hotel, Jin walks through the streets of Seoul, admiring the impressive evolution of the city since his last visit. As he strolls leisurely, he stops in front of a restaurant displaying tempting dishes in the window. Approaching the mirror, he contemplates the diversity of the dishes and says to himself: "It's been thousands of years since I've seen such exotic dishes. Let's go and taste them and see if they are as delicious as the dishes that I was able to taste it in the past." Jin seems ready to be surprised by this new culinary experience
Jin, approaching the door, notices a device hanging on it. Using his power of inspection, he begins to analyze the information regarding this device, which turns out to be a lock unlocked by inserting money. Observing other customers making purchases with money, Jin, using his power of creation, generates over 20,000 won and inserts 1 into the lock to enter the restaurant
Jin, upon entering the restaurant, is warmly greeted by charming servers. He is escorted to his table where he promptly settles in. Without delay, a server hands him the menu filled with a variety of dishes for him to choose from , Jin, gently flipping through the pages of the menu, searches for the dish that appeals to him the most , Jin finally made his choice and ordered the heamul-pajeon with a natural drink. As he sits patiently waiting for his lunch, some high school students enter the restaurant. These high school students discuss the incident from the day before, each of them fascinated by the mysterious man who saved the town.
When one of the high school girls mentions: "Imagine, a single man defeating a class B monster alone, it's just incredible", this underlines the wonder and fascination that the young people feel towards the exploits of this mysterious individual. This reflection highlights the admiration and astonishment aroused by the heroic acts of this solitary man in the face of great danger.
- Jin, wearing a smirk, thinks in his head: "Keep glorifying me, you carefree young people
As Jin begins to quietly enjoy his dish, the two girls from the group of high school students continue to stare at him. Jin notices their interest and winks at them, which causes a reaction from the two girls who blush and hide their faces. This subtle interaction creates a light and fun ambiance in the restaurant, showing the impact Jin can have on the people around him
When one of the boys notices the scene and begins to say: "Unbelievable, you are attracted to a dirty fat rich bastard? Pitiful, females", this introduces an element of judgment and contempt into the atmosphere of the restaurant. This demeaning reaction towards young girls and Jin can create tension and alter the initially light and fun atmosphere.
Jin counters by saying, "Women have an instinct to be attracted to fearless hunks, which you are not even if you pretend otherwise."
The boy, visibly annoyed, walked towards the table where Jin was sitting, determined to confront him. His face clearly expressed his anger, and his footsteps echoed with a certain confidence. Arriving in front of Jin, he stared intently at the hunter, ready to express his reproaches or concerns. Jin, for his part, greeted the boy's approach calmly, ready to hear what he had to say.
The young boy, anger palpable in his voice, addresses words laden with hostility to Jin: "Are you going to address me like that, you bag of shit?" His aggressive tone reveals deep frustration or deliberate provocation. Jin, maintaining his usual calm.
With confidence, Jin calmly counters: "I think I was pretty clear about who I was talking to. If you haven't noticed that, you must be really stupid." His response is marked by quiet confidence as he resumes his meal, refusing to engage further in the altercation. His incisive reply expresses his refusal to be intimidated and his desire to maintain a calm atmosphere despite the confrontation.
The young boy, pushed to the limit, hits the table violently, causing the plate where Jin had his meal to fly away. With remarkable agility, Jin managed to catch the plate in mid-air with grace and skill. His gaze then calmly rests on the young boy as he places the plate back on the table, demonstrating his composure in the face of provocation. His thoughtful reaction demonstrates his ability to maintain control of the situation even in tense moments, ready to handle the confrontation with maturity and dignity.
Jin approaches the young boy, his gaze suddenly turning menacing, his eyes burning with a bright red glow. "You dare interrupt my lunch like that?" he said in an icy voice, imbued with undeniable authority. The young boy, overwhelmed by an unspeakable fear, is invaded by a monstrous and reptilian vision which imposes itself on his mind. Seized with terror, he begins to cry and run, leaving the restaurant in a hurry. Jin's display of power and intimidating aura is enough to end the confrontation, showing that it is best not to underestimate the hunter of supernatural creatures.
The girl with red hair and blue eyes, dressed modestly, stays behind as the group of high school students follow the young boy to calm him down. With a contrite look, she approaches Jin and apologizes on behalf of her comrade. "I'm really sorry for Yong's behavior," she said in a soft voice, sincerely expressing her regret for the incident. His humble attitude and compassionate words demonstrate his desire to repair the harm caused by his friend and maintain peace in this delicate situation.
Jin responds with a slight smile, lightening the atmosphere: "Let's see, it's nothing, just a little too much testosterone for not much." His casual and light-hearted response shows that he takes the situation philosophically, seeking to ease tensions and bring a little humor back into the exchange.
Jin invites the girl to join him, adding, "Come on, don't just stand. Take a seat. Let's talk, shall we?" His warm and welcoming tone shows his willingness to put an end to misunderstandings and engage in a constructive conversation
Jin greets the girl with a kind smile as she accepts his invitation and takes her seat. He notices her slight blush and her shy gesture of holding her hair. When she asks him his name, Jin kindly replies, "My name is Jin."
Jin asks the girl the usual question, asking her name and origin. Sheiley Zhaeon's response catches his attention as she mentions being from the Zhaeon family. A slight frown betrays his surprise when Jin asks him if his family should tell him something. Sheiley, with palpable reserve, then reveals her identity as the daughter of the current Prime Minister of Seoul .
Just as Jin and Sheiley are talking, the restaurant's television catches everyone's attention by displaying a special announcement. The Prime Minister appears on screen, his solemn face captivating the audience. With a confident voice, he announces the imminent opening of the intercontinental fighting tournament in Seoul, called "Godselect". This tournament aims to select the world's new core legionnaires, an event of exceptional importance. The opening date is February 12, and the Prime Minister encourages all interested young people to register in advance before the start of the tournament. The announcement ends abruptly, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation and excitement for this unprecedented opportunity.
Sheiley confides to Jin: "My father had already told me about this tournament." Intrigued, Jin asks, "Is this tournament a martial arts tournament?" Sheiley responds with a nuance: "Yes and no. It is a tournament which brings together the awakened. Beings with exceptional powers and abilities. Exceptional individuals who will have to fight against each other in order to achieve the title of legionnaires of the world." Sheiley's explanation enlightens Jin on the unique nature of this event, revealing the diversity of participants and the colossal stakes behind this competition.
Jin asks curiously, "The Legionnaires of the world, they are the most powerful beings in the world, I imagine? And what happened with the ancient Legionnaires?" Sheiley replies assertively: "Yes, the world's legionnaires are indeed the strongest beings in the world. As for the former legionnaires, most of them resigned from this position to lead normal lives, while others died abnormally." Sheiley's revelations raise questions about the nature of the Legionnaires' powers and responsibilities, as well as the mysteries surrounding their past destiny.
In his head, Jin makes an insightful observation: "That's what I thought, it's just the name that changed. Before, they were the Guardians of the Worlds. But beings considered the most powerful who end up by abandoning their task or dying? This story is fishy." His mind is full of questions about the true nature of the world's Legionnaires and the circumstances surrounding their past destiny.
Sheiley notices that Jin seems concerned and solicitously asks him what's wrong. Jin, trying to hide his deep thoughts, quickly responds, "Nothing, nothing, don't worry. Tell me instead, are you planning to participate in the tournament?" His response is an attempt to divert attention from his own thoughts into lighter conversation, but his questions linger in the background, revealing his curiosity and desire to understand the truth behind the mysteries surrounding the world's Legionnaires.
Sheiley confides to Jin, "I have always been a disappointment to my father, because he believes that I am not of high rank and that I dishonor our family." Intrigued, Jin asks, "And why do you think- "Sheiley responds with a touch of bitterness: "Because I spend my time wandering the neighborhoods with my middle-class classmates instead of going to meetings or the opera, that kind of boring stuff. ."Jin reacts with amusement: "Haha, I see, your father is really attached to the clichés of rich people."Sheiley nods sadly: "Yes, that's it. He wants me to be a bit like my brother. "The dialogue reveals the family tensions and expectations that Sheiley faces, as well as her resistance to conforming to the norms imposed by her social status
Jin asks curiously: "Your brother? What is special about him compared to you?" Sheiley replies with a hint of resignation: "He is one of the best swordsmen and fighters in the country. He is an S-class awakened being. She's the Mary Sue of the family in a way." Jin reacts with understanding: "Ah okay, I see, but don't you have special powers?" Sheiley continues by explaining: "I'm one. pretty average fighter, and yes, I have powers and I'm an Awakened, but Class E." Their exchange reveals the complex dynamics and family pressures Sheiley faces due to the constant comparison with her brother and her own awake status
Jin observes empathetically, "So in a way, this tournament will be an opportunity for you to show your father your worth, I guess."
Sheiley responds with determination, "Yeah, that's basically it. I'm going to have to push myself to show him that I'm not a disappointment."
Jin replies with an encouraging tone: "Willpower is good, but it's going to take action, Sheiley." His advice highlights the importance of taking action and transforming your intentions into concrete achievements to achieve your goals.
Jin stands up from the table with determination, "Okay, I have to go now." He walks to the door and opens it.
Sheiley, who remains seated at the table, calls out to him as he prepares to leave: "Jin, are you planning to participate in the tournament?"
Jin turns around slightly, a mysterious smile at the corner of his lips: "No one will know." Then he closes the door behind him.
Sheiley rushes to catch up with him, but can't find him anywhere. He appears to have disappeared without a trace, leaving his intentions regarding the tournament a mystery.
Perched atop the restaurant building, Jin gazes out over the city stretching as far as the eye can see. He mutters to himself, "Well, it's not all that, but I need to find a lot more dungeons to regain my lost power. I'm wasting my time with these futile discussions." His determination to regain his full power shines through his words, as he prepares to set out in search of new challenges and new powers to face the mysteries that await him.
Jin senses a powerful source of energy a few meters away from him. He whispers: "Surely a dungeon has been opened." Without hesitation, he jumps from building to building with lightning speed, arriving at the scene in just a few minutes. He discovers a well-hidden dungeon in a basement, where people are already there.
Observing the others present, Jin said to himself, "They're probably here with the same intentions as me, but I'm not going to let them steal my merit."
He removes his black jacket and remains in a white t-shirt, then puts on his mask to begin his adventure in the dungeon. His determination to surpass others and obtain the rewards of the dungeon can be seen in his determined look as he prepares to face the challenges that await him.
