Prologue
In a secluded gym in Seoul, the atmosphere was calm, only interrupted by the soft hum of exercise machines. Gun Park, with a serene expression, was going through his daily training routine, focusing on building muscle. Meanwhile, a group of teenagers were huddled in a corner, talking quietly, but close enough for their words to reach Gun's attentive ears.
"I heard there's a new girl in town," one of the boys whispered, trying not to draw attention. "They call her 'The Celestial Tempest,' and they say she can shatter concrete with her kicks."
Another boy leaned forward, as if sharing a secret. "Yeah, a friend saw her in a street fight the other night. He claims she took down everyone in minutes. She even left cracks in the walls and the floor, like they were made of paper."
Gun Park, though seemingly focused on his workout, caught every word. The fact that these teenagers were speaking with such fascination about a fighter who, according to them, possessed nearly superhuman strength piqued his interest. It wasn't common to hear about someone with that level of power.
Without saying a word, Gun left the machine and walked toward the gym exit, his thoughts revolving around this "Celestial Tempest." Curiosity took hold of him. If the rumors were true, he had to find her. He couldn't ignore the chance to see if this mysterious fighter was really as formidable as they said.
Gun Park left the gym with his mind still focused on what he had just heard. He got into his Lamborghini, started the engine, and the deep rumble filled the air as he drove away from the gym and headed towards his home.
The road was relatively clear, allowing him to lose himself in thought as he drove through the streets of Seoul. Curiosity continued to grow inside him, driven by the stories about "The Celestial Tempest." Who was this fighter, and why hadn't he heard of her before? In a world where combat skills were so well-known and respected, someone as impressive as her should have appeared on his radar much earlier.
As the city lights reflected on his car's windshield, Gun Park accelerated slightly, eager to get home. He needed to clear his mind, maybe take a shower, and think about the best way to investigate these rumors. He wasn't someone who was easily swayed by gossip, but this time he felt an unusual urgency to discover the truth.
Finally, Gun Park arrived home, a luxurious apartment in an exclusive part of Seoul. He parked his Lamborghini in the garage and headed up to his apartment. His first stop was the bathroom. He dropped his clothes in a heap and stepped under the hot shower, letting the warmth relax his tense muscles.
As the water poured over him, his thoughts kept returning to "The Celestial Tempest." What kind of opponent would she be? Though he didn't know her yet, something inside him told him that this time, the fight could be different. Perhaps, after all this time, he would finally find a true challenge.
Flashback…
Rimuru Tempest arrived in South Korea with her parents, who were seeking a new opportunity in the bustling city of Seoul. Her youthful appearance, with her sky-blue hair and relatively short stature, often led people to underestimate her, but Rimuru had learned to use this to her advantage.
One night, while she was out alone to buy some groceries at a nearby store, a small group of three unscrupulous individuals spotted her and decided it was an easy opportunity for a kidnapping. They thought that, with her childlike appearance, Rimuru wouldn't be a threat.
However, the kidnappers soon realized their mistake. Rimuru, who had trained in mixed martial arts such as Taekwondo and Boxing, confronted them with impressive skill. Her agility and precision in her movements left the attackers breathless and defeated within minutes. Rimuru's combat abilities proved to be much more formidable than they had anticipated.
During the confrontation, some gang members nearby watched the scene with growing astonishment. The way Rimuru handled the situation, with precise movements and unexpected strength, left a lasting impression on them. Rumors quickly spread through the streets of Seoul about a young fighter with outstanding skills, dubbed "The Celestial Tempest" due to the power and speed of her moves.
What began as an attempted kidnapping turned into the start of an urban legend. As the rumors spread, fascination with the mysterious fighter grew, and Rimuru began attracting the attention of other fighters and gang members eager to challenge the enigmatic "Celestial Tempest."
News of "The Celestial Tempest" spread rapidly through the streets of Seoul until it reached a group of ten individuals determined to verify the rumors. The fascination with the young fighter grew so much that these individuals, some of them local fighters with modest reputations, decided to seek out Rimuru and challenge her.
One night, in a poorly lit alleyway, the group confronted Rimuru. They had heard stories of her incredible strength and wanted to test her skills. Without hesitation, they surrounded Rimuru, ready to face her.
The first two attackers charged at her with a combination of punches and kicks. However, Rimuru, with her expertise in Taekwondo and Boxing, dodged and blocked their attacks with surprising ease. Her movements were swift and precise, and she soon showcased the true extent of her strength. With every blow, the concrete around them began to crack. Rimuru's kicks hit with such force that small fragments of concrete flew through the air, leaving clear marks on the walls and the floor.
The other members of the group tried to form a more united front, but their efforts were in vain. Rimuru continued to demonstrate her superiority. Her punches left visible dents in the concrete, while her kicks created shockwaves that caused cracks and debris around her. Rimuru's strength was clearly superior to that of her opponents, and her ability to control the fight while maintaining her composure made it clear that there was no rival for her at that moment.
After a few minutes of intense combat, the ten individuals were exhausted and defeated. Rimuru, with her imposing skill and strength, had unequivocally proven that the rumors were true. The witnesses, who had been watching from a distance, saw how the confrontation left behind a trail of visible damage in the concrete and a scene of clear victory for Rimuru.
The news of this battle spread quickly, adding even more mystique to the legend of "The Celestial Tempest." Among the witnesses were a group of gang members and fighters who, impressed by the display of power, began talking about Rimuru in every corner of the district. And so, the rumor of her ability reached the ears of Gun Park, marking the beginning of a search that would lead the two to cross paths.
In the Afternoon…
After a series of fights instigated by people seeking to challenge her, Rimuru finally managed to enjoy a moment of rest without the stress of facing new opponents. The afternoon was sunny and pleasant in Seoul, and she decided to take a break from the tumultuous world of combat.
She headed to a local park, where the hustle and bustle of the city blended with the tranquility of the green spaces. She walked slowly along the paths, enjoying the fresh air and observing the families and couples also enjoying the park. Rimuru smiled to herself, happy to be able to enjoy a moment of peace after being constantly in the spotlight due to her skills.
After a while, Rimuru decided she wanted to see a movie. She went to a nearby theater, where she bought a ticket for a film she had been looking forward to for some time. With a bucket of popcorn and a soda in hand, she settled into her seat. The movie was a light comedy, and Rimuru allowed herself to relax and laugh at the funny scenes. Recently, her life had taken an unexpected turn: after escaping an attempted kidnapping, she was now sought after by people eager to test her abilities. Therefore, these moments of distraction were a welcome change in her routine.
As the movie progressed, Rimuru enjoyed every minute, immersing herself in the story and letting the entertainment carry her away. Laughter and fun were a pleasant way to disconnect and rejuvenate, and at that moment, there was nothing to worry about beyond the screen in front of her.
When she left the theater, the sun was beginning to set, and Rimuru headed back to the park for one last stroll. The sunset painted the sky in golden and orange hues, creating a tranquil and reflective atmosphere. Rimuru thought about how her life had changed since arriving in South Korea, and how, despite the challenges, she could still find time to enjoy the little things.
With a smile on her face and a sense of renewal, Rimuru returned home, ready to face the next challenges with a fresh and relaxed mind. The afternoon had been a reminder that even the most formidable fighters need moments of calm to balance their lives.
Two Days Later…
The sun shone over the ocean as the luxury yacht glided smoothly across the water. Gun Park and Goo Kim were enjoying a day of fishing. Goo Kim, with his carefree attitude, tried to make the activity more entertaining with his comments and jokes.
"You know, Gun," Goo Kim began, checking his fishing gear with a smile. "I've heard more about the girl they call 'The Celestial Tempest.'"
Gun Park, focused on his fishing rod, raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? What else have you heard about her?"
Goo Kim, excited about the topic, continued. "They say this girl has incredible strength. People say she's knocked out several opponents with a single blow. It's impressive!"
Gun Park, still looking at the water, appeared interested. "I've heard something about that. It seems she really has exceptional skill. Do you know anything else about her?"
Goo Kim, with a knowing expression, added, "I don't have all the details, but it seems she's caused quite a stir in various neighborhoods. If she's as strong as they say, she could be an interesting challenge for you."
Gun Park nodded, considering the information. "It seems so. If the rumors are true, she could be exactly what I'm looking for. Do you have any idea where I might find her?"
Goo Kim leaned forward with a smile. "I don't have precise information, but I've heard she's been making waves in several neighborhoods. If you're interested, you'll need to do some research. I'm sure you'll find her if you really look."
Gun Park nodded, clearly intrigued, and went back to his fishing. Goo Kim continued to enjoy the day with his light-hearted attitude. Gun Park's interest in Rimuru had clearly been piqued, and he was determined to find out if the rumors matched the reality.
