Chapter 1 – New Direction

Everything that laid before me, was painted with a deep, jet-black color, that seems to slowly devour me whole.

'How long has it been?' I pondered with contempt, staring at the deep void of darkness before me that seems to have no end, longing for my freedom.

I was already stuck in this place for who knows how much time. The thing called time basically was non-existent in here.

In here, I was not able to move a single muscle, although I did not know whether I have one, since I can't feel any of my limbs. I felt like my entire body was entirely frozen solid.

I also did not know how I got in this place, because as soon I woke from my sleep, I was already stuck on this strange place.

'Am I inside the afterlife..? Did I died...?'

These two thoughts lingered in my head, continuously crossing in my mind

I tried to search for answer through my memories to remember something that can help, but to soon realised, my memories was fragmented and cloudy. I was not able to remember anything, not even like my own identity, and appearance.

To pass time in this world of darkness and keeping my emotional state normal, I constantly think of many things to entertain myself and sleep for a long time.

During my time in this world of darkness, something was bugging me and this time, it peak up.

'Why don't I feel scared?' This was the thing that bothered me. Surely enough ordinary people will be scared and panic if they were in my situation.

I tried to think of answer, but soon my mind started to get heavy. The tiredness I had experience I had accumulated soon drowned my mind.

I feel asleep, while hoping soon, I can't get out of this hell hole to experience the so-called freedom.

I had a nightmare soon after sleeping. It was hard to see what happened, because of the darkness. What I only heard was the sound of water moving loudly, splashing, and two voice.

"Please... Don't do this to me..!"

"Then why did you do it!"

---

I quickly jolted up from my sleep. I felt fear crawling through my skin. The voice I dreamed about, was repeating inside my head.

'What was that nightmare about? Was it a piece of my memories too?' I asked, but no one was to answer my question. In this place was just me.. and the darkness.. after all.

I then start to calm down from my sudden spike of my emotion and composed myself.

'I should analysed my awakened memory, I might gain something from it.'

I scoured through my memories, as a flashback happened on my mind.

In the flashback, two voice was the only thing that can be heard. A voice that was childish that contained fear and was terrified. The other was a voice that was chilling to spine.

I assume I was the one with a childish voice, scared, but who was the one with a voice with a deep, chilling coldness?

'Why am I so afraid of that voice, that It still haunts me to this day?' But, my train of thoughts was broken. The world of darkness started to shake furiously.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

'What the fuck is going on?!' I scanned through my area of vision and saw several cracks appearing like spiderweb.

Crack!

The cracks soon started to spread and get bigger and bigger.

'Light..!' My eyes widen in shock, brilliant light started to come in from the cracks, slowly illuminating the world of darkness.

Soon, before I knew it, the world before me turn into white, and I saw the faint, blurry night sky with an bird soaring through.

Infront of me was a faint, big shadow that surely belonged to a man. I wanted to see who he was, but I fell asleep, smilling.

An island somewhere in south korea...

The sun had already fallen while the round, blue moon at the clear, black sky, replaced it.

Large amount of brown, thick smoke was present in the air, making it hard to see anything in the area.

Standing at the bottom of a large, deep crater, an old man with a muscular build, wearing a old, grey loose-fitting martial arts clothes with both of the sleeves ripped off, showing both of his, thick, muscular arm with a 'X' scar that was also present on his defined chin.

He was carrying a black-haired baby currently sleeping quietly with some few green crystal shards stuck on him.

"What a cute kid." The old man smiled widely, as he rub the cheek of the baby.

The dry air swept through his white hair as he looked around him.

Around him was countless giant crater, destroyed trees, and as well as a destroyed mountain.

The place he was standing on was the biggest crater.

"It looks like you unexpectedly helped me." He was Tae-jin-jin. The strongest man alive.

The reason for the destruction around him was because, before this, he was fighting against [The Six].

The Six was also known as 'The Human Culture Organizations.' The Six was lead by six individuals who are also a strong martial artist with their own unique fighting styles.

Jin-tae-jin was sure of himself to win at the end, but at a cost of himself, being heavily injured. But suddenly, the green crystal he was carrying at his back, exploded like a bomb and then the baby was awakened.

"I should get away now, or those bastards will cause me more trouble." Jin-tae-jin said to himself. He squatted his legs and with a slight grunt—

Boom!

—Flew toward the air, leaving a giant crater on the ground with cracks.

Where he was going was unknown. Even to him.
