The First Quest
“Sigh….so you’re telling me that your life is a Video-Game, and the RPG kind of” Said Sun-II while massaging his temples “Oy bastard, it isn’t like I wanted this Ability,“ I said, offended by his words, “Says the guy obsessed with Video-Games…..” Replied Sun-II with a Deadpan, as a blush of embarrassment crept up on my face I tried to defend my pride by giving him a smug smile and saying “Tch, it’s an awesome hobby and you know it, plus my gamer ability is Super Awesome, I mean I have Points to increase my Stats, Skills and an useful Inventory which helps me in storing that Heavy mirror in it“ His only response was to grumble about it ‘not being fair that OP powers are given to undeserving lazy people’ which made me further retort “Pfft I’m the only guy worthy of this ability“ Instantly Sun-II turned to face me and lifted one of his eyebrows in mock which served to make me angry “I’ll have you know that I’m the God of gaming “ Sun-II response was to chuckle. Now I’m completely furious “what’s that you asshole “his response was “Nothing, it’s just that I’m glad that you’re still the same Idiotic Jee-Han I know “//This guy…. // I was speechless, I really didn’t think that he would say that, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I forgot, I forgot all about my Crazy ability, The Voice inside my head, I was with my Best friend and nothing was going to change that. “Although you did get more smug with having that Ability, I still wonder how you became a natural ability user “……I take back what I said.
----------------------------------------
Sun-II POV
----------------------------------------
At first, I was definitely surprised by what he said //My life is a Game// I thought it was one of his stupid pranks or he played so much Video-Games he started to Hallucinate about it, but when he told me of my So called ‘Title’ I was immediately convinced about it, my Status as the Chunbumoon’s Heir is a Top-secret of my clan, since even If I was able to hold off a few assassin’s on my own, I’m still weak compared to nearly anyone in the Abyss that would surely want to have my head, but despite all that I was mostly Safe, After all my Clan is Known throughout all of Korea for being an Old and Powerful Clan , and nearly nobody would want to make us their Enemy. But what made me afraid is Jee-Han's Safety, after all not only is he my Best-friend which puts him in a lot of danger but his Ability…..it’s Terrifying……even its most basic use ‘Knowing a Person’s name and potential Strength’ is absolutely useful, since in the Abyss, Information is Wanted among all of its Members, and his Power is still not fully uncovered yet?! There’s still a lot of things unknown about it. If his Ability is ever found out, he’ll be in a lot of Danger
//They can try, but they better know that Jee-Han is In the Chunbumoon’s Protection // He’s basically family, even if he isn’t officially a part of the Chunbumoon’s Clan
----------------------------------------
Han Jee-han POV
----------------------------------------
//Too quiet…….it’s way too Quiet to be normal // I thought, checking the Sun to confirm my speculation //it’s Sunset right now, People should be going back to home…….Yet no one’s here// I turned back to Sun-II only to realize that he’s deep in his thoughts, shaking his shoulders I called out to him “Sun-II….” Woken out of his thoughts he turned to face me “hmm? yeah, what is—Oh sh*t!?“ Immediately Sun-II bring his hand to the Sky as green aura surrounds his hand and shouts “Break” Only for a dark Malicious energy to injure his Hands, Quickly he brings it back to his side, Suddenly I hear an Emotionless Voice say “Shin Sun-II the chunbumoon’s heir, Quite a surprise to see you and your little friend here” Looking behind me I see A Middle-Aged man with Slick black hair Combed back, as well as sunglasses, he also wears black gloves with a ring on his left hand with a chain connected to a bracelet on his wrist. But the most Disturbing thing is the Rest of his body, a Black Suit that looks like it is made of Darkness, silently waving around, Sun-II was shaking at the sight of this man, terrified of him, confused about his reaction, I soon got my answer as I looked above the Mysterious Man’s Head

Hwan Sung-Gon
what were the chances that I would meet a guy with an unknown Level while going back from buying a mirror , unfortunately this guy wasn’t here for a peaceful talk, looking at him, he slowly brought his Hand up and slashed into the air with his bare hand, Instantly, Three Portals appear, and with it Beasts came out, a Three Headed Cerberus with three tails and grey fur that stood around 12 feet, the left head had Poisonous Venom dripping from its Mouth, while the middle had Lightning arcing in its mouth, the last one was breathing Hot scorching fire , the Second monster was a Humanoid Black figure, it had skinny arms and legs, as well as a Humanoid head, with a mouth that has a semi-permanent Smile that nearly reached his eyes, his grin showing the sharp rows of teeth, while his Round eyes were White with no pupils, he has wisp of black material coming out of his body, Making him look Frightening. The third monster is a MASSIVE turtle standing at 30 feet, with grey crab-like Shell, and spikes all over it, and it has Three shrimp-like tails, as well as red muscle-like tissues, it also has a pair of humanoid arms and legs, and it had Terrifying red eye with the other one being closed, all in all, they were terrifying monsters, and they all had their attention on me and Sun-II as their next Prey, anxiously waiting for their master’s order. I’m absolutely terrified of them, my arms and knees were shaking despite my commands to calm them, I don’t even think we’ll survive to see the next day //We’re not ready for this….I am not ready for this// I still can’t help but fear these creatures, because no matter how many times I steeled my mind on the fact that these kinds of creatures exist, is still can’t believe it ‘Calm’ I’m really starting to appreciate the Mysterious Voice helping me in situations like these, Quickly I observed all the Creatures for any weaknesses

// Wait….The Black Ghost Has two DEX stats and the Cerberus has ‘???’ on nearly all of his Stats, what does that mean…Ugh I’ll think about that later, right now my biggest chance of winning is by fighting that Black Ghost, and even then, it’s a low chance, At least his INT and WIS are low, but he can more than make up for it with his High DEX, Plus, he can further compliment his fighting style with his Razor-Sharp Claws, I have no doubt that they can cut me like a hot knife on butter, and I have no weapo……..That’s it! // “Jihan, just run, run and don’t lo-“ Sun-II was interrupted by Sung-Gon “Do you really think, that I would leave your friend go, even if I did let him go, he can’t escape, after all this is an Illusion Barrier, there’s no escape” Scowling in displeasure Sun-II responded “Do you really want to make the Chunbumoon’s Clan your Enemy, if you attack me or my friend, you’ll Provoke my Clan’s wrath” But the Black summoner didn’t take heed of the threat by saying “Tell me what will you do if you need to do the Unthinkable, The Impossible, something that’s outside Mortals reach just to reach a Goal that’s more Important than your life” confused by his weird response Sun-II questions him “The hell are you talking about” “To achieve these goals, you need to do The unthinkable, make the Impossible a reality and go beyond the realm of Mortals………even if you commit Unforgivable sins” Sun-II was getting enraged and it was showing as He was gritting his teeth so hard that the gums started bleeding and with an Angry voice he said “This is your last chance, if you back away right now I might spare you” it was all false bravado and he knew it, there’s no way we could beat him, our only chance was to escape. But unfortunately Sung-Gon didn’t leave us any chances “Come, if you think that you are at least strong enough to fight my Summons “ and with a Wave of his Hand the Cerberus and Isobu headed to fight Sun-II while the Black Ghost went to face me //I can’t mess this up// and in a Split-Second he Disappeared and appeared on my left side with his claws ready to split me in half only Crack for him to hit the mirror that I brought out from my Inventory just in time, but despite that the impact still sent me tumbling to the ground
-50HP
And yet I wasn’t the only one injured as the Black Ghost had a sharp shard of the mirror sticking out of his palm
-5HP
Looking at the ground, I quickly pick up a sharp Piece of glass in the general shape of a dagger, at least now I’m not entirely defenseless, looking at me, The Black Ghost screeched, intent on killing me, instantly he disappears again, right now he wouldn’t make the same mistake, as such I was completely terrified. He could be right behind me and I Wouldn’t know it //While he’ll be only focused on attacking me he’ll quickly forget his surroundings, which will open a Distraction……This is my only chance// Crack //There!?!!// as soon as I hear the noise of the Black Ghost crack the shards of glass beneath his feet, I Slashed wildly, hoping to get a hit on him
Swish! Splat!
-225HP

Instantly the Black Ghost Thrashed and Screeched “Gruahh” Not wanting to waste any valuable time, I ran away in hopes of losing my pursuer, despite my Injury Which Hindered my movement, I ran and ran, until my muscles ached like never before, finally after spotting an abandoned warehouse, I made a run for it in hopes of hiding from the monster that’s currently searching for me, soon after in the safety of the hideout I was able to wrap my Wound by a shredded piece of my shirt
The Status Effect “Bleeding (Minor) Has been Removed
HP: (25/325)
//This isn’t good at all, I’m Extremely low on health, the only weapon I have is just a sharp piece of glass, not only that but my enemy is extremely fast, and just a scratch with his claws can end me, So I need a better, more durable weapon, yet looking around in the Old warehouse, there were only big Rusty machines, if so what can I do? I have no Weap……..Or maybe!? It’s worth a chance // with a voice full of confidence I utter “Wait for me Sun-II, I’ll defeat this Skinny Wannabe Mummy and help you”
----------------------------------------
Sun-II POV
----------------------------------------
Fighting two Summons, one of them being a Mid-Yoma class Cerberus and the Other one being a Goddamn High-Phantom Class Isobu, both of which were Summoned by the Infamous Black Summoner , Wasn’t on my list of things to do, Poor Jee-Han was left to fight a Mid-Human Class Black Ghost, That despite its class, is a dangerous Monster which is able to Kill Low-Yoma Class Creatures with the right circumstances, And Jee-Han was left to Deal with it alone, I could only hope that I can defeat with these Beasts just in time to Save him. Looking at the battlefield around us I noticed the chunks of the ground around us in ruins, leaving a Crate filled with bubbling Acid, a Side of a Building demolished, some trees were Incinerated leaving only ashes, but the most dreadful of them all was the new Lake the Size of a Football field in the middle of the Neighborhood
“Truly it is most impressive that you held your own despite the odds, you’re definitely worthy of your Title as the Chunbumoon’s Heir” Said Sung-Gon in a Calm manner, as if he’s talking about the weather, this only served to provoke me even further //How dare he toy with us like that!?!! // “Then why don’t you come down here and Fight me you coward!” After a few seconds of tense Silence, he bursts out laughing like he heard the Funniest Joke Ever, instantly he calmed himself And Stared at me with a Devil-Like Smirk “Well how about I make things more interesting for you” And with a snap of his fingers, But the two-summons lost what little sanity they had, instead they became a further husk of themselves, only driven by Pure anger, Anger directed towards me,
Whoosh!
With Refined Reflexes I jumped, avoiding a Mini-Tsunami From Isobu, a mere moment later I had twist Mid-Air just to avoid a Fire Ball as well as a Blob of Acid, as soon as I touched the ground I immediately dodged the Trajectory of a Lightning Bolt that would have turned me into charcoal, Deciding to end this as soon as Possible I activate my KI and let it flow around my body, relishing the feel of Power, with my Special Ability to Sense KI and my Enhanced capabilities I was able to weave through these Berserkers, Easily dodging their ferocious blows, Soon after I opted to change into a more Aggressive style, I rushed towards the Cerberus bent on finishing him once and for all, Immediately I Struck the Head on the Right with a KI Enhanced Right-Hook. Continuing my momentum, I Blast him with a Spinning backfist, I continued raining blow after blow on him, and then as I Condensed my KI into my fist for the Final strike and brought it His head, I could see the Defiance in his Eye, not giving up, still determined to finish me. But what I didn’t Expect was him Howling, his head facing towards the Sky as if he’s praying “Awoooo” Suddenly, out of nowhere, Lightning Came, Like a Brilliant Shock of white in the Sky. Thunderous Booms striking the ground, leaving only Charred Surface, and in the Center of it was the Cerberus, he looked like he was a creature made of lightning, with the Lightning dancing around his body, arcing back and forth, His Size Increased to nearly 18 Feet, his once Three heads merged together to form a head with Six Eyes, Eyes that were sparkling like Gems. And in his Tail bone came three tails lazily swinging back and forth. All in all, He Looked like he is an Incarnation of a Lightning God. And he was furious at me, wanting to tear me apart, piece by piece
The Lightning Guardian
LVL 35
Raijū
//Dear G-god, that’s a High-Phantom Class “The Lightning Guardian Raijū”!!!// Things weren’t looking up for me, Raijūs are supposed to be Servants of the Shinto God Raijin, and by his Blessing they were given absolute Control of Lightning, it’s nearly Impossible to keep track of them due to their Speed, Coupled with That Giant Turtle’s Ability to control Water made a very Dangerous Combination with the right circumstance //But they’ve gone berserk, Which will make their Action wild and with barely any thoughts to them, So If I can take Advantage of their Strength and turn them into Weaknesses. I’ll be able to easily defeat them// But no matter how much I resolved myself I couldn’t comprehend the Sheer speed the Raijū had, in one second he was growling at me, Teeth bared, then he was in front of me with his Claws near my Heart, if it weren’t for my Special Ability to Sense KI, that allowed me to react just in time, I wouldn’t have survived the Impact, but despite crossing my Arms in an X formation to defend myself, The sheer strength has thrown me like a Ragdoll, making me Crash into a building. The force of the impact made me Cough a large amount of blood, as well as Crack 3 of my ribs, Enduring the pain and forcing myself to stand up, I immediately Stretched the Limits of my Sense KI Ability, after all my Reflexes weren’t able to react to the Raijū’s Speed, so I had to rely on the only Talent I have. Immediately noticing that Raijū’s KI (Mana) Fluctuated when he Charged at me, with that knowledge I was able to barely dodge its attacks, and even then, it’s Lightning cloak numbed my body, I was fighting a losing battle //I have to quickly make a plan, or else I really don’t think I can hang on much longer//I thought, Noticing the change in Isobu’s KI (Mana)…….Like it was going to //That’s it!// I exclaimed, Instantly I enhance my KI to its limits, and then I Rush towards the Raijū who was Surprised by my actions, Latching on its fur I use my Enhanced Strength to fling the Raijū towards Isobu who was launching a High-Pressure Jet of water, This caused for the Lightning to Travel through the water coming from Isobu’s mouth and fry his Internal Organs, it was just a sliver away from Death, While the Raijū Nearly got Electrocuted, it had to transform back to the Three Headed Cerberus , But it was still soaked and bruised from the Water impact, So it couldn’t transform back. Making use of this Chance I charged what little KI I had into my Fist, I charged at the Cerberus, Intent on finishing this once and for all. I Punched it in the Gut, the force of my blow so powerful it went straight through its stomach with barely any Resistance. Finally, the beast’s heart stopped beating indicating its Death //Finally…..It’s done, now I just need to help that idiot// My limbs were heavy, and everything hurts so much, it’s agonizing, Soo after, my Eyesight became blurry, colors were mixing in, and my senses were dull and fuzzy. All feelings of my body are fading away until finally, all was black.

Han Jee-han POV
----------------------------------------
//Just like how Sun-II explained how he did it//I thought, immediately smirking //That wannabe Mummy won’t know what hit him// Picking up a small shard of glass, I tried to tap into my Mana, despite not ever trying something like this I continued on following a hunch, Observe //Is that???// Closely examining my eyes I used Observe again. It seems that there were Blue Lines in my Eyes every time I Used the skill, these blue lines started from my Sclera until it ended in my Pupil, it seemed that they carry my Mana, with that tad-bit of knowledge in my mind I Tried imagining the Same Feeling,
I can’t recall how much time I spent there, just trying to recreate the Same feeling, but soon after I got frustrated //Maybe it’s because I need more INT and WIS, after all, INT affects learning speed and WIS lets me know which decision is the best// Immediately Opening my status Screen I distribute 7 Points to my INT and 5 Points to WIS as well as 3 Points to VIT so I won’t be dangerously low on health

Describing the feeling what upgrading my stats would be confusing, It was as though my Mind and body did a whole reboot, The change to me wasn’t Exactly weird or uncomfortable, it was as though my mind was always this Sharp and perceptive to my surroundings, Dismissing these thoughts I Continue my previous action of Accessing my Mana , After a few seconds I was able to notice the changes, no longer were my thoughts in disorder, Constantly worrying about Sun-II well-being and my own as well, Right now my mind was determined to learn skills necessary to defeating that Black Mummy and get myself an Sun-II out of this Damn Place, Continuing on this pace I was able to feel a Tingling sound on both of my arms, as soon as I opened my eyes I saw them, Dark Blue lines that go from my forearm to my palms, Humming with strength they were ready to respond to my will
Due to amateurly controlling your Magic, you have Unlocked the Skill:
Magic Control (Amateur) (Passive) (LVL 1)
Effects: +0.2% Control of Magic (+0.2% Per LVL)
95% Chance of Failing a Spell (-5% Per LVL)
//Yes! With a skill like this, I can try to use that Skill he did, He explained that it was just enhancing the Muscles and Bones of his Fist, but I really don’t like the idea of doing that with an (LVL1) Magic Control, Although I can enhance ranged objects, which is far less risky//
Due to your Logical Thinking, You Have Gained 1WIS
Immediately testing that idea, I tried to push my mana, it took quite a while due to my Amateur understanding of Magic, but slowly and surely the Blue lines traversed up to the Shard of glass, Filling it with Mana bit by bit
-10MP (1MP)/ -10MP (1MP)
Due To your Actions, you have Gained the Skill “Mana Transfer”
Mana Transfer (Active) (LVL 1)

Mentally Dismissing the Pop-up, I Continued filling the Tiny shard with more Mana, and more and more and more, trying to enhance it to Its Limits

-10MP (1MP)/ -10MP (1MP)
-10MP (1MP)/ -10MP (1MP)

I Didn’t pay any attention to the growing cracks. Until the shard Started to vibrate, Nearly leaking mana
Spell Failed
//Dammit…..just stay in…Just don’t break// Sweat was pouring out of my face as I tried to hold in the fragile Shard with just my Mana and Sheer Will, soon afterward I notice that despite the cracks around the shard it was still Holding itself, although barely,
Intrigued by this I ‘Observe’ the shard, and what I found was definitely Amazing.
Step….Step….Step //Oh no, it’s the black mummy// Quickly I put the shard in my pocket, Then I pick my Glass dagger, soon after the Black Mummy came in through my only way of escaping, His posture screamed of Danger, Bloodlust was rolling off of him in waves, And I knew that he was serious right now, but most importantly his Neck which should have been pierced was now perfectly normal, Immediately I use Observe only be shocked by what I saw
Black Ghost
LVL 17
HP:800/1050
MP:500/950
//How?!?? He should have HP in the 300s right now! //I thought in astonishment the Ghost-like creature Vanished like he was never there, he stealthily crept up behind me and slashed at my neck with the intention of ending me, but he never expected to be thrown by an explosion after hearing me say
“Break”
//Heh, it seems like my unexpected creation was a success// I thought, Seeing the Black Mummy was still as Simple-Minded as ever, He didn’t think that a Tiny Fragile Shard will contain such Power, it was a
(Over-Broken) Shard
Shard that is filled with mana over its Limits, and is barely held together by mana, as such at the cost of durability it is able to house great explosive power, they can be activated by either removing the Mana holding the shard together, or by crushing it, which destroys the Shard and releases the Mana inside
Effects:25 Damage
Durability: 1/5
Immediately I take out my weapon, it was a 11Inch Knife with an Inwardly curved blade with spikes going around the edges, but what made it unique was that it was made from a piece of a mirror, it was my make-shift weapon
(Over-Broken) Glass Dagger
A Piece of glass formerly in the shape of a knife, Due to being filled with Mana over its limits its shape has changed to accommodate for all that power, it can be activated by either removing the Mana holding the shard together or by using it once, which destroys the Weapon
Effects: 800 Damage
Durability: 1/10
Rushing towards the monster with all my might, I lift my knife, and as I nearly plunge it into his chest, The Black Ghost Makes a Deafening Screech Filled with Terror, Making me pause for just a second, But he took advantage of my weakness as he lunged at me, Slashing me with his Razor-Sharp claw, Causing a Wide deep Gash on my Chest, The blood making its way out of my Wound and dripping on the ground, My vision started getting blurrier by the second by I couldn’t care less, I needed to finish this once and for all, And go save my best-friend then get the hell away from this place. Gripping my weapon tighter I stab him in the lung and utter “Break” Instantaneously the Knife Exploded into Tiny Sharp Shards, all of them piercing The Black Ghost’s Body, making him look like a Pseudo-Porcupine.
//Finally,….. It’s done// I thought, finding no strength in my legs I drag myself to lean on a Wall, the dark red Blood was making its way out of my wound, oozing between the spaces of my fingers, and soon enough I was lying on a puddle of my own blood Taking a look at my screen, I see my Demise
HP: (3/355)
Slowly The pain that once burned like fire had faded away to an icy numbness. Black filled the edges of my vision and the only thing I could hear was my own heartbeat, Bitterly Chuckling I think //This is it huh? //
