Japanese Urban Legend of the Red Room
it has happend by many people in their Computers in Japan here is the story

"President Min-Hyeok Kim? It's me, Gun-Ho. How is the factory going?"
"I've paid all of the overdue wages and rents with 3 billion won that you had sent earlier for the factory operation cost. All of the machines in the factory are working fine except for two."
"Is the factory generating revenue?"
"Of course. Even though we haven't earned any new business, we are working with all of the customers that the company previously had worked with. We didn't lose any old customers."
"That's nice. It's really good to continue to work with existing customers."
"Well, they should prefer to work with us because we have the specific moulds customized for their products."
"Tell them that we apologize for our temporary suspension of the production for the past months. I believe they will understand our situation. Nothing much the factory could have done because its parent company was suffering from a financial crisis."
"Oh, I was going to ask you. Can you send Jong-Suk to us for three days?"
"Jong-Suk Park? He is very busy now in the production field. He still has a lot to learn."
"Well, I just need him for three days."
"Hmm. Okay. I will talk to the factory manager and will let you know."
"Thank you."
 
Gun-Ho asked for the factory manager.
"How is Manager Jong-Suk Park doing in the field?"
"He certainly has a lot to learn in the production field; however, he is doing very well since he has extensive experience in the maintenance and repair in a factory."
"Please train him as much as you could. I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry about it."
"By the way, I will need to send Manager Jong-Suk Park to China for maybe about three days. Is it okay with you?"
"We need him here. We have a lot of maintenance work here."
"Let's send him just for three days. We have many other workers here too, compared to the factory in China."
"Okay then."
 
Gun-Ho asked for Jong-Suk.
"I was told that you wanted to talk to me, sir."
"Cut it out, man. Call me brother when we are alone."
"I was worried that maybe someone could hear us. Haha."
"How do you like the work here?"
"The factory manager is very strict, but he is extremely experienced in this field. There is a lot to learn from him."
"You need to go to China for three days."
"To Min-Hyeok bro?"
"Yes. He needs your help there. Go and help him."
"Haha. I haven't seen him for a while."
Gun-Ho asked for the general affairs manager.
"The general affairs manager is not in his office right now. He went to the city hall."
"Then please ask the assistant general affairs manager to come to my office."
The assistant general affairs manager entered the president's office. He was wearing a suit with a tie neatly.
"Manager Jong-Suk Park here needs to go on a business trip to the factory in China. Please get him the Chinese visa and a flight ticket to China."
"Yes, sir."
The assistant general affairs manager gave a 90-degree bow to Gun-Ho before leaving the office. He was about the same age as Gun-Ho and he was a good looking man.
"Bro, I feel sort of embarrassed whenever I see the assistant general affairs manager."
"Like what?"
"He is at the same age as you, right? And I am two years younger than him. But I am a manager and he is an assistant manager."
"You don't have to think that way."
"Moreover, he was born and raised here in Asan City, and he graduated from Dankook University in Cheonan City as an honor student."
"You have skills, Jong-Suk. You deserve the position you have now. Did you receive your salary this month?"
"Yes, I did. It's 4 million won. I could save some money now."
"That's good. All of the departments are currently full, but once the factory manager retires, I guess we will have many positions available in the production department. Let's see which position you want to take then."
"No, no. I am getting more than enough now."
 
Gun-Ho asked for the sales director—Director Kim.
"How is the new production development going for S Company that we met the other day?"
"The research center is working on it. They reviewed the product drawing that they sent to us and started making the moulds referring to the product drawing. We will need about two bags of the raw materials from Lymondell Dyeon though, so we could produce samples."
"Can we just call Lymondell Dyeon and ask them to mail the materials to us?"
"It won't work that way. It's not like they have the raw materials ready for us. They will need to make specific compounds for us. But the real problem is that they won't take an order from us."
"Let's go to Japan then. Let's go to Lymondell Dyeon's Japan office to see the president with me."
"People say that the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan branch doesn't like to meet with people from Korean companies. I once went to Japan to see him with the previous president of Mulpasaneop, but he refused to meet us at that time."
"Really?"
"Sir, I am sorry to ask you this, but are you really a friend of the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan office?"
"Yes, I am."
"I thought you were bluffing when we talked with the vice president of S Company last time, to get their business."
"Let's just go to Japan with me and see for yourself."
"Yes, sir."
"I will need to ask for another friend of mine to help me talk with the president of Lymondell Dyeon's Japan branch office since I don't speak English. This friend is fluent in English. He is an attorney of Kim&Jeong Law Office and he is also a very good friend of Amiel."
"Kim&Jeong Law Office?"
Director Kim didn't seem to fully believe what Gun-Ho said. Gun-Ho made a call to Attorney Young-Jin Kim while Director Kim was still at his office.
 
"Attorney Young-Jin Kim? Are you busy now?"
"Hey, President Goo. It has been a while. I heard you acquired a business in Asan City. Are you still there?"
"Hey, I need to go to Japan to see President Amiel from Lymondell Dyeon."
"Why do you need him?"
"It's about business. Can you tell him that I will visit him next week?"
"Sure. I will call him. Can I go with you? I want to play golf again at Yonehara Golf Club."
"Of course. Let's go together then."
"Oh, shoot. I can't go next week. I have a patent case I need to work on. When you get there, say hello to Amiel for me."
"Okay, I will do that."
 
After getting off the phone with Attorney Young-Jin Kim, Gun-Ho asked the sales director.
"Do you speak English? President Amiel from Lymondell Dyeon is American."
"I'm sorry, sir. I can't speak English."
"What about Japanese then? President Amiel has lived in Japan for a long time and he speaks Japanese."
"I don't speak Japanese either, sir."
"Same as me."
"I'm sorry, sir."
The sales director smiled while scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Umm, I know someone who can interpret for us though."
"Who is it?"
"A friend of mine has a nephew who is studying in Japan now. This nephew went to Japan when he was little, so he speaks Japanese very well. He used to interpret for us and our previous president—Se-Young Oh when we went to Japan."
 
Once the sales director left Gun-Ho's office, Gun-Ho sat at his desk by himself. He moved to the sofa in the office and leaned back on the sofa, and then he closed his eyes. He thought about Mori Aikko. She had a gorgeous face.
"I want to see you, Mori Aikko. I will put your hair up. Me, Gun-Ho Goo will do it."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

Chen Fan had become the only Immortal Level Overlord acknowledged by the public. Even a Grandmaster had to obey and respect him. 
However, not a lot of people could understand what Yang Qinhu had said in the end. 
For most people, including Qi Dongsheng, the Heaven roll was a remote concept. In the last ten days, Qi Dongsheng witnessed the chaos in the Japanese Martial arts world stirred up by Chen Beixuan. In the end, Chen Beixuan was able to bring the entire Martial arts community to heel. By now, the mere mention of Chen Beixuan's name would terrify any Kendo Grandmaster.
"Lord Yang, does he have a title that is more prestigious than being the number one on the Heaven roll?"
Din Fuhai touted in disbelief. 
Din Fuhai had been convinced that being number one on the Heaven roll should be the limit of one's power. The person in that position could bring down even grandmasters. Din Fuhai knew better than to mess with such a mighty figure. However, Din Fuhai was still curious as to why Yang Qinhu was as afraid of Chen Beixuan as he was. Yang Qinhu was a Grandmaster on the Heaven roll as well, so in theory, Yang Qinhu and Chen Beixuan's strength should be somewhat comparable.
"Humph, the combined might of all Grandmasters on Heaven Roll are a far cry from that of Senior Master Chen." Yang Qinhu let out a cold smile as he scanned the people around him. Seeing the confused looks on their faces, he decided to shed more light on Chen Fan. 
"Fatty Din, what is the hottest news right now?"
"Urh… I have been busy chasing after Old Qi and had no time for news." Din Fuhai scratched his head and said in embarrassment.
He never paid attention to world affairs. If not because he needed to learn more about his ally, Yang Qinhu, he wouldn't have even heard of Heaven roll. 
The other tycoons looked at each other in confusion. 
These tycoons were far below the level of social status required to learn about the hidden truth in the world. The Japanese government had spared no expense in hiding what had happened. Therefore, only those leaders of the dark world or major nations had learned of Chen Fan's battle against the Japanese Government. 
"Are you talking about what had happened to Tokyo Tower?" Qi Dongsheng furrowed his brows and asked.
"Ah right, I remember it now. Didn't the tower collapse? There are all kinds of rumors about it now. Some say it was because of an alien invasion and some blamed the tower's construction quality." Din Fuhai slapped his head lightly as if he just had a moment of epiphany.
That news was broadcasted all over the world and was on most newspapers headlines. 
Touted as the tallest structure in Japan, The Tokyo Tower was a famous tourist attraction in Japan. It was often the first stop for most Chinese tourists. However, the current condition of the Tokyo Tower would have shocked anyone who laid their eyes upon it. It stood half of its original length, broken beams jarringly jutted out from the top. 
"Humph. Alien my ass. I was there and saw it with my own eyes. It was a duel between Master Chen and the Japanese Sword Sage, Takemiya Hiro. Their fight had caused damage to the Tokyo Tower, not aliens." Qi Dongsheng put in. 
"What?"
The listeners were shocked. 
The Tokyo Tower was in ruins because of a fight between Chen Fan and the Japanese sword sage?
Kon Jen'yu covered her mouth to stifle a cry. The Yu siblings gaped at each other stupidly, the shock had made the young man forget about his wound. The revelation also dumbfounded all the other tycoons in the room who hoped that what they heard was fiction and they could simply disregard it. But they couldn't.
"It… It's impossible!" Din Fuhai stammered disbelief and shock was written all over his face. "Lord Yang, is he telling the truth?"
"Yes." Yang Qinhu confirmed. 
"Senior Master Chen's battle against Takemiya Hiro was touted as the most momentous fight in fifty years. It was not only a personal duel but also a showdown between two Martial Arts Communities. Takemiya Hiro was Japan's last Sword Sage, a title decreed by the Emperor himself. Even a mighty figure such as Takemiya Hiro was killed by Chen Fan with ease. Worse, the symbol of Japan, the Tokyo Tower, had also become collateral damage."
Everyone listened on with strong emotions roiling inside of them. 
It was a fight between the most powerful Grandmaster in Chinese and the Sword Sage of Japan. The stakes were high since national pride was also at stake. The fight had been highly anticipated by everyone from both countries, and many martial artists had traveled to Japan to watch the battle in person.
"No wonder he called Chen Fan a legend. He had brought the entire Japanese Martial arts community to its knees." Many people nodded as they were impressed by Chen Fan's prowess.
Kon Jen'yu's mind raced as she realized that the boy who she considered ordinary turned out to be a powerful and legendary man. 
Cold Sweat streaked Din Fuhai's face as realization set in. Chen Fan had turned a steel behemoth into a pile of scrap metal, what kind of damage could he do to Din Fuhai?
"Senior Master Chen's power is far more than that. He is now recognized as an Immortal state warrior, you simply couldn't comprehend how powerful that is." Yang Qinhu shook his head and said: "Just to give you one example: Master Chen killed the family lord of the Mitsui Family, Mitsui Kazuo before he left Japan. Fatty Din, do you think your influence is on par with Mitsui Kazuo?"
Yang Qinhu gave Din Fuhai a grin.
His words sent a chill down Din Fuhai's back and many other tycoons gasped. 
Mitsui Kazuo!
He was a legend in Japan and most tycoons in China knew his name. He was the role model of nearly all businessmen in East Asia, who treated his autobiography as the bible. Yet, such an influential heavyweight in both the business world and the political realm was killed by Chen Fan seemingly without any repercussions.
Che Fan's might was truly awe-inspiring. 
Din Fuhai was terrified by the revelation. His wealth and power was a far cry from the might of Mitsui Kazuo. It's true that the Fu Hai Group owns assets that were worth over a dozen billion yuan, but compared to Mitsui Group, the Fu Hai Group was as insignificant as a drop of water in the vast sea of wealth. The Mitsui Group owned a hundred if not thousand times more wealth than Fu Hai Group and was the backbone of a powerful nation.
"I can't believe it! I just can't!" Din Fuhai swept the sweat off his forehead and said apprehensively: "Thank god that Lord Yang had held me back, otherwise, I might as well be dead."
"You are welcome."
Yang Qinhu snorted and left with his hands linked behind his back. He didn't even spare Qi Dongsheng a glance.
Yang Qinhu had spared Qi Dongsheng's life only because of Chen Fan, otherwise, he would have already done away with him. However, everyone rushed to Qi Dongsheng and tried to befriend him. Chen Fan was way out of these ordinary people's league and they figured that Qi Dongsheng could be their only connection with Chen Fan. Din Fuhai heaved a sigh and then left the room. 
Kon Jen'yu stood quietly as a light came up in her eyes.
Chen Fan lay in his bed after he arrived in his room. 
He had already forgotten about what happened out there with Qi Dongsheng. His mind started to focus on the issue of his cultivation. His journey to Japan was successful. He had not only obtained the five Demon Gods for the Summoning Flute of Demon God, but he had also shattered the Japan Self-Defense Forces. However, the side effect of his success was not negligible either.
He should be able to repair his True Essence and body easily, but the Raw Arcane Energy he had consumed would take at least a few months if not more to recuperate. 
"I think I will have to go to seclusion again."
Even as Chen Fan thought so, he furrowed his brows and ordered Yukishiro Sa to answer the door.
Lo and behold, Yang Qinhu stood respectfully outside of the room with a cupped fist: "Senior Master Chen, I apologize for visiting you at such an hour."
"Oh, what do you want?" Chen Beixuan answered lazily. "You might as well save your breath if it's about the Qi family. I never walk back on my promises. I caution you not to test my patience either."
"I would never even dream of defying you, Senior Master. No one in the entire China could defeat you." Yang Qinhu let out a wry smile. The Tiger of the Outer Guan Region stood before Chen Fan as a pupil would before his teacher. "As a matter of fact, I am here to ask if you would be interested in the Heavenly Water of Life?"
"Heavenly Water of Life?"
Chen Fan furrowed his brows and pondered.
He had heard of the name form the mouth of the Tree Herder, Jason, when he was teaching at Jinlin City. He had thought that the Yun Wu Spirit Water was the Heavenly Water of Life that could awaken the power within Extraordinary Ones.
Yun Wu Spirit Water was readily available to Chen Fan, so he would not be interested in his offer at all.
"Indeed. It's the Heavenly Water of Life from the western world. Superior-grade, highly concentrated. The source of the water had already formed a spring, and the supply is nearly limitless." Yang Qinhu said. 
"The Heavenly Water of Life was mainly used to awaken an Extraordinary one's power in the west. However, to us eastern martial artists, it is quite effective as well. The martial artist who had used it told me that the water would help drastically improve one's cultivation, breach the bottleneck and reach Transcendent State. It could recuperate whatever damage the body had sustained, and was as effective as thousand years old Ginseng.
"Huh?"
Chen Fan nodded. 
Both Martial Artists and Extraordinary ones were the dumbed down versions of immortal cultivation. Therefore Spirit Qi would be beneficial to their cultivation. If an ordinary Martial Artist lived in the Green Dragon Grand Array, he would become a Transcendent Grandmaster in a few years.
However, Chen Fan was already so far in his cultivation that this supplement has no effect on him.
"Here, Senior Master. This is a picture of what we have discovered in Siberia. The temperature was minus thirty, but the Spring was still running. Here is another picture." Yang Qinhu produced a stack of pictures and showed them to Chen Fan. 
"This is why I have agreed to help Din Fuhai to do away with Qi Dongsheng."
The picture showed a wintery scene on an enormous glacier. A pool of running water was in the middle of the picture, the surface of the water rippled, an indication of the movement of current underneath. Surrounded by a lifeless whiteness, the gurgling springs liveliness seemed jarring, like the work of divine intervention on this lifeless tundra.
Chen Fan scanned the picture and noticed a small tree beside the spring; on it was a red fruit. Chen Fan's face changed colors as a name resonated in him.
"Fruit of Embryonic Essence?"


Chen Fan, the great cultivator, failed to transcend the Tribulation of Heaven: the final stage of his cultivation. Little did he know that this accident would bring him back to Earth and turn back time to five hundred years ago when he was just a teenager. 

‘I had once reached the precipice of power in the known universe and could look down on the ten thousand realms with pride; I was lonely nonetheless. I will not leave any regret nor anyone behind while I relive my past life this time around. ’

Join Chen Fan as he relives his teenage years, righting the wrongs of the past as he punishes his unwitting old enemies. 

In the spring of 1904, due to strategic considerations, Chen Tian upgraded the Koenigsberg Junior Military Academy to the Koenigsberg Military Academy and expanded its scale as a training ground for military personnel in East Prussia. The military academy recruits 1,000 young people between the ages of 6 and 16 from Germany, and enters the 6-10 year-old youth class, the 11-15 year-old youth class and the 16-20 year-old vocational class. The students in the junior class receive the same basic education. After entering the youth class, they will start to choose the direction they are interested in. After entering the professional class, they will enter the infantry command, artillery command, mechanical engineering, aircraft, and water surface. Majors such as ships and submarines accept different studies.
In addition, in order to increase his military and political "listening", Chen Tian decided to let the military academy select about 50 students about 10 years old from the juvenile class graduates for professional intelligence training. Chen tian plans to allow them to serve in various German troops after receiving six years of hard training, part of them are inserted into German government departments, and part of the fake identity is mixed into the military and government departments of European countries. For this group of people, Chen Tian also gave them a special name: Bat Legion.
Drawing on the experience of future wars, Chen tian is also preparing to select a group of soldiers with particularly good shooting from the East Prussian Army for special sniper training. Their main target on the battlefield is the officer of the other party. Among this group of people, they will select some soldiers who are determined and willing to dedicate themselves. Chen Tian will let them leave the army and enter another organization-the thorn bird, and their task is to assassinate.
It is a pity that the planning is beautiful, but there are always all kinds of troubles to realize.
In 1904, most people had little idea of ​​spies and special forces, let alone instructors in this area. Chen Tian had to find Thomas. At this time, Thomas did not live well in the intelligence room of the General Staff. The style of the General Staff was strictly in accordance with the regulations. Therefore, many of Thomas's opinions were not adopted. After the two of them had a small talk, they immediately met and Thomas immediately applied for transfer from the General. Staff, entered the East Prussian Army of Chen tian.
After all, Thomas spent four years in the intelligence department. He still knows the structure of the intelligence department well, but he does not know much about the training of spies. To be precise, there are few professional methods of spy training in that era. So the two men fumbled forward in the dark.
In the selection of the Bat Corps, they selected students who were born poor, because their willpower and loyalty will be higher than others. These students need to voluntarily dedicate themselves to the country, followed by a series of physical and willpower tests, and those who pass the test can receive the next training after obtaining the consent of their families.
Next, they arranged for these students to learn all kinds of training they can think of, such as language skills, fighting, engineering skills, first aid, self-help, social benefits, and weapon use. Due to the idea of ​​personal experience and self-exercise, Chen Tian and Thomas often join their training. Every year, students are eliminated, and at the end of all training, only 15 people can successfully become the first members of the Bat Army. Eight of them entered other military academies as ordinary graduates of the Königsberg Military Academy or directly entered military service in Germany. Four of them entered various German government agencies and slowly climbed from the lowest level. Another three people They were sent to France, and they tried to enter the French army or government.
Compared to the Bat Army, Chen Tian's thorn bird is much simpler. As long as the skills are superb, there are many orphans or brothers in the family and they are not married, they can volunteer to participate in the selection and training of thorn birds. The training of thorn birds is mainly in shooting, camouflage, willpower, endurance and loyalty.
In the years that followed, the Bat Corps and the thorn bird competed for the German throne in World War I and later, and made good contributions to Chen Tian and Germany.
In February 1904, when Chen Tian and Thomas were too busy  dealing with the bat army and the thorn bird, the Russo-Japanese War broke out on time according to the historical trajectory.
In 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War of aggression against China and North Korea, forcing the Qing government to sign the "Maguan Treaty" on giving up land for compensation the Liaodong Peninsula. Tsarist Russia, who was determined to monopolize Northeast China, was unwilling to show its weakness, attracted Germany and France, and created the "Three Nations Intervention to Return to Liaoning" incident, forcing Japan to return the Liaodong Peninsula to China. In this regard, Japan is resentful and waiting for revenge. Soon after the Japanese were forced to return to Liaoning, the Tsarist Russia used the pretext of "repaying Liao for merits" to seize the privilege of building the Middle East Railway and its feeder lines in northeast China. Later, they forcibly leased Lushun and Dalian from the Chinese government, and took the opportunity of the Eight-Power Allied Forces to invade China to occupy the entire three northeastern provinces. Russia's ambitions for expansion have exacerbated its conflicts with Japan on the Northeast and North Korea issues. After 10 years of preparations for war, Japan's strength has greatly increased. In 1902, the British-Japanese alliance was concluded, and it was determined to make a comeback in the northeast region and establish hegemony.
The direct cause of the intensification of the conflict between Japan and Russia is Russia's refusal to withdraw its troops from Northeast China. After the signing of the Treaty of Xin Chou, Russia urged all countries to withdraw their troops from China as soon as possible, while their own troops continued to rely on the Northeast and appointed the Governor of the Far East. Japan refused to give up and took the initiative to negotiate with Russia. In order to compete for the Far East and plunder wealth, Japan and Russia, on the one hand and the other, refused to give in to each other; while mobilizing troops, they prepared for war. Because Russia refused to withdraw its troops from northeast China, Japan issued an ultimatum to Russia on February 6, 1904, and announced the ending of Japan-Russia diplomatic relations. At the same time, the Japanese Navy began operations. On February 8, the Japanese joint fleet attacked a Russian warship in Lushun Port and fought without a declaration. On the 10th, the Japanese and Russian governments declared war on each other, and the Japanese-Russian war officially began.
Lushun is located at the southwestern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, surrounded by hills, and serves as the gateway to the northeast, and the throat into the Bohai Strait. Its strategic position is very important. Lushun Port is a non-freezing port. The water in the port is shallow and relatively narrow, with only a 150-meter wide estuary. The main force of the Russian Pacific Squadron is permanently stationed there. At midnight on February 8th, while Russian officers were holding a dinner to celebrate the naming day of the fleet commander General Stark in Lushun City, Higashi Hachiro commanded the Japanese joint fleet to launch a sudden attack, firing 16 torpedoes and hitting three Russian warships. Opened the prelude to the war. Explosions and artillery sounds kept coming, and Russian officers on the shore were immediately shocked, wondering what had happened to the harbor. After the truth was revealed, he hurriedly returned to his warship and organized a counterattack. The Japanese ship was invincible and was forced to retreat. The commander of the Russian fleet was worried that he would be ambushed by mistake and ordered the ships not to pursue them, avoiding the harbor and not fighting, and sticking to the Lushun fortress. After the night attack on Lushun Port, Higashi Hachiro saw that the Russian ship could not escape from the port, and had strong coastal artillery support. It was difficult for the Japanese joint fleet to hit the Russian Pacific Fleet, which was a big headache. In order to fully control the sea power and reduce the threat to the Japanese naval traffic line, Higashi Hachiro decided to follow the successful practice of the US-Western War, sink the ship at the exit of Lushun Port, block the Russian fleet, and continuously bombard the Russian ships. From February 9th until early March, the Japanese army had several unsuccessful shipwreck closure operations. In early March, the new commander of the Pacific Squadron of Russia, Makarov, took office in Lushun and immediately took a series of precautionary measures while demanding that the fleet take the initiative to attack. On the basis of understanding the sea area and the situation of ships and fortresses, he decided to deploy mines in the coastal area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula to prevent the Japanese from landing and threatening the Lushun base from the side; step up the repair of injured ships, dispatch fleets to the sea, and strengthen sea and land cooperative combat training ; Request the Vladivostok Fleet to send troops southward to the Sea of ​​Japan, actively attack the Japanese maritime traffic lines, and contain Japanese joint fleet operations. These measures of Makarov improved the passive situation of the Russian army and gave the officers and men confidence in defeating the Japanese. However, on April 13, Makarov was on board the battleship Petropavlovsk. When he returned to sea, he thundered and exploded, killing the sea. The new commander, Witgeft, believed that with the help of Lushun Fortress, the safety of the fleet could be ensured, and no longer took any offensive operations. Since then, the maritime combat initiative fell into the hands of the Japanese army again.
The Japanese wartime base camp decided to take land offensive operations in view of the delay of the Navy in destroying the Russian Pacific Squadron. On March 21, the First Japanese Army, commanded by General Kuroki, first landed northward in Incheon, North Korea, and reached the Yalu River in mid-April. As the move was unexpected by the Russian army, the Japanese army quickly defeated the Russian army Dongman Detachment led by Zasulich and occupied Jiulian City and Phoenix City, resulting in a situation of threatening Liaoyang. At the same time, the Second Japanese Army led by General Ao Bao Gong made a successful landing on Zhuanghe in the Liaodong Peninsula in early May, and arrived in Jinzhou at the end of May; the Japanese Third Army, commanded by General Nomu Xidian, also landed from Dalian Bay at the end of May To advance to Lushun; the Fourth Japanese Army led by Admiral Nozu Dou made landfall on Dagu Mountain in the Liaodong Peninsula in mid-May to occupy Haicheng. The Japanese army succeeded in attacking one after another on the land, which put the Russian army in a passive position. The Japanese "Manchurian Army Headquarters" originally planned to wait for the Third Army to conquer Lushun, command the four armies in a unified manner, and conduct a Liaoyang battle with the Russian army.
By the autumn of 1904, Chen Tian's Bat Corps and the thorn bird had completed their formation and began to conduct methodical training. After Chen Tian handed over these two troops to Thomas to manage, he and Oli left for China, near to Observe the biggest war at the beginning of the century. There, an unexpected thing was waiting for him...

The ordinary college student Chen Tian was inexplicably reborn in the German royal family before the beginning of the First World War. At the baptism, he was crowned the Prince of East Prussia by his great grandfather William I, making him an uncompromising "Princehood".

After the rebirth, Chen Tian used his identity and his mind to transcend the concepts at that time, constantly searching for famous generals and discovering some buried talents. Hindenburg? Brother Mammoth, please come to be a teacher; Goodrian? Comrades, shall we work together; Rommel? Young people work hard, I think you are good. And he used his advanced military knowledge to arm his troops, build tanks, build aircraft carriers, and develop the air force, and began a brilliant road to rise.

Under his company, his companions, lovers, and loved ones, Chen Tian gradually grew into a new leader of the German Empire, leading Germany to the road to dominate Europe. Of course, for an Asian island country, no one would mind the protagonist to repair it. of. . .

"So what are your plans after the contract exclusivity ends, Iris-shi?" inquired the interviewer and host on the recording of IZ*ONE's last variety show appearance.

The American girl who now boasted rich honey locks tapped her chin in a thinking gesture. "Hm, it's a surprise," she replied teasingly with a smile and wink at the camera behind the host.

The middle aged woman laughed. "Always keeping us on our toes, this Iris-shi. It's always a surprise with you. A pleasant one of course. We'll be watching you and all of IZ*ONE as the first Produce group to have a long contract with a non-exclusive period in the last year."

She turned toward the other members with a twinkle in her eyes. "Does anyone have plans they'd like to share with the audience?"

Kim Chaewon lightly raised her hand. After getting the okay gesture from the host, she softly relayed, "Eunbi and I were part of a team that auditioned for Produce 48. We haven't been able to talk or see our good friends since the show, so this would be a great time to finally reconnect with our friends and family."

The woman nodded slowly in sympathetic understanding. "Yes, I imagine that idols have it tough not being able to touch base with their loved ones. And especially for you all because you're an international group. Even though you have Japanese members, you really made a big splash in Japan with your outstanding sales!

"But because of how much you traveled around the globe, that success comes at a cost. This upcoming shift in promotions will definitely be a good time to rest. And you certainly deserve it all."

The host ended with a sincere smile that warmed all of the girl's hearts. Indeed, it had been a great journey and experience. But while they enjoyed and were grateful for their success, that same success made it increasingly more important to live up to expectations and stay in the spotlight.

For Iris, it had been a non-stop rollercoaster ride of which she was finally glad to get off of and enjoy the rest of the attractions. As much as she loved pursuing music and dance, and she never once regretted voluntarily jumping into the brutal physically, mentally, and emotionally draining task of being an idol, she could only take so much as a human.

MNET worked the group to the bone. After all, their Produce groups had always been money makers, and IZ*ONE had been no less, possibly more in some regards globally. Perhaps it was because the group had a trusty, fluent English speaker, but it allowed the group to break into other countries more successfully than without Iris.

Japan was almost a given with the Japanese members, but IZ*ONE became popular back in the States along with parts of Europe and South America. Iris never hesitated to translate and take on interviews with YouTubers or music organizations in the U.S. Their KCON NY show back in 2019 was a smash.

Upon this memory, Irish sighed ruefully in the team van driving back to the dorms after the variety show recording. She really was exhausted after everything that had happened in the last two years. Now, it felt like all the exertion and fatigue was finally catching up to her and wracking every part of her body inside and out.

She closed her eyes and let her mind drift off a tangent of the KCON NY show on July 6th, 2019. After their Japanese track "Buenos Aires" dropped June 12th along with promotions in that country, BTS had been in Europe for their "Speak Yourself" Tour. 

When the boy group made it to Japan for their Osaka concert on July 6th, IZ*ONE had already left Japan for a concert on the same day. Iris regretted the chance at possibly reuniting with her close friends and mentors outside of South Korea.

Even if it was for a short while, she reckoned it would've have been great fun. Perhaps they could've even secretly done sightseeing and partake in the street food vendors and other mysteries of Japan. But alas, they just missed encountering one another. 

And that included the short time Iris delayed leaving Japan. She personally stayed back to learn from Japanese producers. Iris got the OK from their management to directly participate in the creation of one of their next Japanese songs. And later on, she could even create a Korean piece for the group too.

This would all come a year into their contract, so naturally, Iris felt it was about time if they were to do it. She was thrilled at being allowed to flex her composing juices once again. Since creating Dionysus, she hadn't finalized any new work by that point.

Now that the exclusivity period was fast approaching, Iris had increasingly been able to compose more. She now had some relatively fleshed out tunes under her belt. And it was all in good time too, for Big Hit had big plans that April when the contract shifted to non-exclusivity.

This type of contract was a first in the K-Pop scene. However, most people presumed it entailed the girls being able to promote in the groups they were in before Produce 48. Well, that is, if any of them had debuted before.

Since no one was in non-disbanded group, the public was unsure what actions the company and IZ*ONE girls would take. If the variety show, which would air in a week after the studio recording, gave any insight, the girls would take the time to recoup their energies after a packed, relentless schedule.

"Gah, I'm so glad we'll be partially free in a few weeks. The burnout just jumped on me," announced Iris breathily as she flopped onto the bed.

"Same, so much as happened in the year and a half. I can still remember Produce 48 vividly, but at the same time, it feels like it was so far away," commented Ahn Yujin pensively.

Nako Yabuki bobbed her head in agreement. "I'm going to visit Japan as soon as April 30th comes around."

Yena, Wonyoung, Hitomi, Sakura, and Chaeyeon all nodded inside Iris's dorm room which she shared with Yena and Hitomi. That day in 2020 marked the first day of non-exclusivity, exactly one year and sixth months since their debut on October 29th, 2018.

Although Nako had spoken in Japanese, the girls had been together long enough to develop a strange form of communication. None of them could speak the other language fluently, but they were confidently conversational to the point of being able to talk in their own language and be understood by the other linguistic party.

"And maybe you could take us with you so that we can finally tour Japan properly!" chimed Yujin.

"Show us the best places to eat!" exclaimed Yena excitedly, making Iris chuckle. "You're going to eat too much!"

Yena huffed cutely, "So? I'll just exercise before we have to promote again!"

Iris winked. "I never said you'll get fat, little one."

Yena smiled like a kitten and pounced on the older girl.

"As for me, I'm just going to sleep a lot." Wonyoung stretched her arms out in anticipated contentment.

"Yes, you need sleep to grow dear maknae," agreed Chaeyeon with a teasing smile. Her "girlfriend" Sakura squeezed her eyes in a smile at the playful remark.

"Huh? I don't want to grow anymore!" protested the so-called giant baby who was taller than most of her teammates. All of the girls giggled at her response.

Just as Wonyoung opened her mouth to speak again, Jo Yuri called from the other room. She, Eunbi, Chaewon, and Minjoo were on kitchen and cooking duty for the night. The rest of the girls saved the chitchat for dinner. Their plans for the upcoming break would all come true very soon. So for now, they'd enjoy each other's company before going off on their own.

**Important Note: This is about a fictional OC girl surviving in the music industry and set in real, modern times. **

Synopsis:

BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan, Bulletproof Boy Scouts, Beyond The Scene. The idol group had various names, but to Iris, BTS would forever be her inspiration, both in music and in life.

She had first encountered them by accident during BTS’s American Hustle Life. Curious and smitten by the adorably awkward boys who couldn’t speak English very well, she later discovered that they were K-pop idols. Upon discovering K-pop, she realized her passion for singing and dancing. She joined the Korean Culture Club at her university and participated in K-pop dance covers.

But as a practical girl, she never pursued music seriously. As a second generation American to Thai and Chinese parents, she felt a responsibility to graduate college and be a successful businesswoman. But BTS was the wildcard in her life. When she fatefully met them again during their Wings world tour, her life would never be the same again.

Tossed into the brutal world of K-pop, she became somehow became a Big Hit trainee!

-------------------------------------------------------

Genres: Fan Fiction, (side) Romance Fiction

Question: Why is this listed as Realistic Fiction instead of Fan Fiction?

1) The MC is Iris Huang, a fictional character along with her family and the other Big Hit trainees. Any k-pop idols included in this story are secondary leads.

2) BTS are not the only k-pop included in this story; thus, this is more of a k-pop fanfic if anything. With that said, they are more integral to the story than the others.

But because this story began as an entry into the BTS writing competition, I have since after its end gotten some hate for writing it merely due to BTS fanfics swamping the Fan Fiction section. (I really don't see the case for it because the top popular fan fics listed only showed 3 BTS fan fics including mine much lower down the browsing results. But with the contest, the sudden influx probably messed up the New section.)

In short, imagine this as a fictional story that's realistic in being set in the modern world and time with real-life people's names. This story was never completely about BTS, it was about Iris surviving in the music industry. It's like saying a fantasy story can't also be a romance; even though, the story may be listed under Fantasy as the main genre.

3) I see stories on here not listed as fan fiction when they're based on TV shows and series, and the story MC is clearly the MC of that original show. Since I think my story follows Realistic Fiction more than as a BTS fan fiction since it isn't totally centered around them, I changed it two weeks after the competition ended. Additionally, now no one can complain about their favorite fan fiction being overrun by BTS ones.... I don't want to inadvertently add to the hate that BTS receives for stupid reasons like this.

-------------------------------------------------------

Note about the realism in this book:
All of the realism is to allow readers to be able to insert themselves as the MC as if living this reality for real in the modern world. I hope to share BTS's inspirational message to love yourself. May you gain the strength to also believe in yourself and follow your dreams~!

Chapter 37. A Hunter from a Foreign Country, Part I
 
Translator: Khan
Editor: RED
 
 
1.
No place was free from the nightmare that began on December 31, 2016. In that sense, the nightmare that Japan had faced was enough to say that it was nearly the worst nightmare.
 
It was the worst from the start. Four dark-blue monsters settled in the Japanese islands and built their own territory. But that was the beginning, as was said earlier. On the nightmare that began with the emergence of monsters, an unavoidable monster called "natural disaster" came to Japan.
 
It began with a magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Kyushu, Japan on March 11. After that, earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.2 and 6.3 came to Tokyo sequentially.
 
The tsunami that came after the earthquake drowned those that had survived in the forest of buildings. Of course, the blow was fatal.
 
Japan had a better disaster preparedness system than any other country, but the system was useless after the monsters appeared. Then, as July started, a typhoon swept through the Japanese mainland.
 
It was simply a series of disasters at which even monsters would scream, and Japan could no longer play its part. At the time of the typhoon's arrival, the country of Japan no longer existed in the islands, and a new nation was built there.
 
The great Japanese Empire.
It was the official name of the new nation established in the islands.
 
Musashi founded the empire so that he could put himself on the throne as the empire's first emperor. He had driven away monsters with the Sword, Kusanagi, from the Tokyo ruins that had become hell.
 
Of course, there was no such thing as democracy. There was no equality either. Instead, classism and inequality took their place.
 
Musashi divided the citizens of the Japanese Empire into nine classes, from first to ninth.
 
Those who were not Awakened became ninth-class citizens, and those who were Awakened were fifth-class citizens, each of whom was able to become higher-class citizens, depending on their role, performance, and achievements.
 
Most common survivors remained ninth-class citizens, who were treated like slaves. Ironically, this system helped the Japanese Empire recover its infrastructure quickly.
 
Those who wanted to survive in a world where they had to prove their worth in any way in order to survive were desperate.
 
Hiyoshi Taiyo was one of the survivors of this new Japan.
 
"Hooooo!" In addition, he was a successful man who could puff out long cigarette smoke from his office at any time.
 
'That's crazy.'
 
The background of his success was the Imperial Hunting Unit. It was a core organization of the Japanese Empire, a group that took charge of everything about monster hunting as it was. It was the most supported group in Japan that was still full of monsters, and it was a powerful and influential organization.
 
Hiyoshi belonged to such an Imperial Hunting Unit.
 
"Goddammit!"
 
In addition, he was a third-class citizen of the Imperial Hunting Unit, a great place to describe his success. It was really great. He was living a much better life than before the monsters had appeared.
 
Until about a month ago, when Matsumoto Kanyo, his superior, one of the closest aides to and one of the four heavenly guardians of Musashi, named him as the head of the Kyushu branch of the Imperial Hunting Unit, he had nothing to envy.
 
'It's better to go to hell.'
 
"Goddammit!"
 
Kyushu.
This huge island, located south of the archipelago, was one of Japan's two largest Hell islands, along with Hokkaido.
 
The 7.4 magnitude earthquake that hit Kyushu did not leave any social infrastructure, and an  Eight-tailed Fox, with its dark-blue pupils, had made Aso Mountain, located in Kumamoto City, its territory.
 
He became the branch manager of a place like that. It was a demotion. This alone would leave him feeling bad.
 
'How the hell am I supposed to solve the problem that is on Tsushima Island?'
 
However, the bigger problem began a week ago, when Tsushima Island, a base for advancement into the Korean Peninsula, fell to the enemy overnight.
 
As said earlier, Kyushu was now a monster's territory. Of course, Hakata Port in Fukuoka City, located in Kyushu Province, the nearest port to Korea's Busan Port, was currently unavailable.
 
So, Tsushima Island was important. Once they had a naval base on it, they could send a ship to Busan Port or Yeosu Port from the central location of Tsushima Island, even though it was insufficient.
 
In fact, Musashi was able to show his willingness to advance to the Korean Peninsula immediately thanks to the construction of a minimal facility to accommodate the naval forces on the island.
 
But now that they had lost Tsushima Island, it was no wonder the plan was broken. Of course, the Japanese Empire was now trying to recover the island. The effort included recapturing Hakata Port in Kyushu Province, which could send enough powerful naval force without needing Tsushima Island
 
Naturally, an urge for Hiyoshi, a branch manager of Kyushu who had been demoted, began.
 
'I am crazy. I have to match the number of the monster stones which should be sent home country somehow…'
 
This urge was not simply done by a word. It was done by increasing the number of the monster stones which the Kyushu branch of the Imperial Hunting Unit had to pay back to Tokyo, the home country, which demanded action, not words.
 
'I am done if I can't fill the number of the monster stones this time again.'
 
In addition, this was his last chance. If Hiyoshi could not prove his worth here, he would be demoted once again.
 
'I will be deployed to the Korean Peninsula without conditions. It will be the first…'
 
The next region for his demotion was a hundred percent likely to be the Korean Peninsula. It was clear that he would become a prologue actor in the war to make the Korean Peninsula a bridgehead for the Japanese Empire. It was actually a suicide squad.
 
'No, there's a crazy monster in Korea. If I am deployed to the Korean Peninsula right now…'
 
Moreover, Hiyoshi knew that currently, there was an absurd monster in Korea that the Japanese Empire wanted to hide somehow.
 
Hiyoshi was an able man. If he had wanted, he could have become a samurai of the Empire, not an Imperial Hunter. In other words, if he stepped into the Korean Peninsula, his mission was highly likely to face the monster of the Joseon Dynasty.
 
'Fuck!'
 
That's why Hiyoshi now smoked incessantly.
 
Knock! There was a knock on his office door. Hiyoshi did not answer. He looked at the door with nervously.
 
Screech! Then the door opened, and his subordinate showed up.
 
"Well, sir?"
 
"Why?"
 
Looking at Hiyoshi'scigarette and his sharp eyes, the subordinate acknowledged that he came at a really bad time and lowered himself as much as he could before speaking cautiously.
 
"Oh, I've brought in the payment for the home country for section 392, led by Arashi."
 
Hiyoshi breathed out a long cloud of smoke at the report of his subordinate.
 
"Really?"
 
It was not a matter of anger, since the payment for the home country had arrived at a time when the monster stones were in urgent need. The only thing that bothered him was the name Arashi.
 
'A group leader, Arashi…'
 
A branch manager of Kyushu, Hiyoshi remembered Arashi because he was incompetent.
 
"Bring it in."
 
However, Hiyoshi was in need of the monster stones that even Arashi had brought, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
 
The subordinate, unaware of his thoughts, carefully put a heavy pouch on his desk.
 
'Huh?'
 
The moment Hiyoshi saw a heavy pouch the size of a young child's head, his eyes changed. Then he opened the pocket and saw the red stones filling it. He no longer worried.
 
"Call in the group leader Arashi."
 
2.
Arashi Jun was a very good man on the outside. It was hard to find a problem on the outside. It seemed difficult to sum up the man named Arashi Jun with only a few characteristics.
 
"This is him."
 
On the other hand, next to Arashi was a man of a different type than Arashi. He was a man of short cut hair, bushy beard, and sharp eyes, with a Horn Bow on his back! Everything about him was impressive.
 
"This man from Korea, his name is Kim So-hoon." Arashi introduced the Master Sergeant.
 
"He was a member of the Capital Defense Command in Korea. His rank was a boss."
 
At the next introduction, Hiyoshi opened his eyes slightly and looked at the man named Kim So-hoon.
 
"But since he is wanted for rebellion in Korea, he risked his life to arrive in the territory of our great Japanese Empire."
 
"Stop." Hiyoshi stopped Arashi. Instead, Hiyoshi directly asked a man named Kim So-hoon, "Do you speak Japanese?" 
 
"Yes."
 
"How much can you speak?"
 
"I have no problem communicating with Japanese people."
 
"Why did you come to Japan?"
 
Arashi made a grim face at the question. He had explained why the man named Kim So-hoon came to Japan. Hiyoshi asked this question again to the man named Kim So-hoon again.
 
Arashi did not think that Hiyoshi would ask this question just because he wanted a simple answer as Kim had been driven to Japan on account of rebellion.
 
"I'm here to go back to Korea."
 
"Go back?"
 
"I was under Major General Lee Ki-soo. I know to some extent what kind of deal he made with Japan."
 
Major General Lee Ki-soo. 'I've heard of him.'
 
It was a vague name in Hiyoshi's memory. Of course, it wasn't important if it was vague.
 
'The name was mentioned several times when Matsumoto was referring to Korea.'
 
What was important was about the dim memory character was Kanyo Matsumoto, the leader of the Imperial Hunting Unit.
 
'A runaway from a power struggle?' At this moment, a picture was painted in Hiyoshi's mind.
 
Lee Ki-soo, who was in contact with Japan, died, and the new group would have moved to root out Lee's remnants. If he didn't want to die, he would have to be a fugitive.
 
So, what was the escape route that a fugitive could take from the land of the Korean Peninsula, not from North Korea? To North Korea or Japan.
 
A man named Kim So-hoon chose Japan as an escape route, and he eventually reached Japan. This was the picture Hiyoshi painted.
 
"What do you want?"
 
"I want to take over the plan of Major General Lee Ki-soo. Of course, I'd like to speak to someone who can talk about it."
 
'He shows his ambition.'
 
As soon as Hiyoshi heard this, he was sure of one thing. 'He's worth a lot of use.'
 
Kim So-hoon was a man who could only benefit from him, from Hiyoshi's perspective, no matter how he used him.
 
'How do I use him?'
 
He was a pumpkin that had rolled in. It wouldn't hurt to just send this man to the home country as he was. At least Hiyoshi would hear the praise.
 
'A compliment is not enough.'
 
Listening to such praise would not improve Hiyoshi's situation. What he needed right now was performance.
 
'I think his ability is good.'
 
The speed of gathering the monster stones after contacting Arashi, as well as having the guts to come from Korea to Japan, was definitely impressive.
 
'But he must have come this far because his ability was good.'
 
He must have been a good hunter in Korea.
 
The key was that. 'I can use him anytime, and throw him away if necessary.'
 
Right now, Hiyoshi was in a hurry for monster stones, and a sharp knife came in, which would not harm him if he broke it. It was simple, then.
 
"I cannot accept your offer right now. As you know, now Korea has attacked our empire. Very recently, Tsushima Island was attacked. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to send a Korean to our home country. Not killing you right now is the greatest consideration I can show."
 
"I guess consideration isn't free. What do you want?"
 
"I'll be a middleman, if you prove you are faithful and if you pay for the introduction." Hiyoshi would only use this knife until he could use it no more.
 
"You don't want me to write with my blood, and what you want are monster stones?"
 
"It's nice to have a quick understanding. There are now monsters in Kyushu. There's no better place to play."
 
"So, what do you want?"
 
"Hmm?" Hiyoshi looked sideways at the following reaction. 'Did my communication fail?' Here, Hiyoshi thought the man named Kim So-hoon didn't really understand what he was saying. No matter how good he was at Japanese, it was almost impossible to master another language.
 
'Even though the people talk with their own people in their own language, there is a person who can't understand the words. That's a human being.'
 
So Hiyoshi tried to explain it again. "So now Kyushu is full of monsters and…"
 
"So what do you want?" But this time, the conversation went wrong, and Hiyoshi remained silent. Then he stared at Kim with an angry look.
 
Kim said in front of such eyes, "So what color do you want?"
 
Hiyoshi relaxed his expression at the remark. "… what color is possible?"
 
"Yellow. If I get the right support and assistance, that's what I can do."
 
"Yellow?" Hiyoshi expressed his admiration for the remark.
 
'Oh, God, only someone that is at least a samurai is needed to kill a yellow-grade.'
 
Instead of responding to him, Kim took a smartphone out of his pocket. Snap! Soon after he took off his gloves, he took a picture with his smartphone and showed it to Hiyoshi.
 
[Basic Abilities]
- Strength: 294
- Health: 217
 
[Special Abilities]
- Energy: B- Rank
- Mana: C Rank
- Telekinesis: C Rank
- Defense: B- Rank
- Mana Resistance: C Rank
 
Hiyoshi's eyes changed after reading the contents of the smartphone.
 
'Not normal.'
 
Those stats were enough to express such confidence. But the surprise did not stop there.
 
"If I can bring my team here, and if I can get some solid support, I can kill a green-grade. Actually, my team has a lot of experience killing green-grade monsters in Seoul."
 
"Is, is that true?"
 
"Ask the man who knows the situation of the Capital Defense Command about Major Oh Se-bum. I hunted monsters with him. If you learn of his achievements, you will find that I'm not talking nonsense."
 
Hiyoshi didn't worry about it anymore.

The world has changed and so have the people.

December 31st, 2016 – the day before New Year's. Kim Taehoon was just casually shopping for groceries at the large store. Monsters suddenly appeared out of thin air. With the highly trained skills that he had gained from his previous occupation, he starts to hunt the monsters down and manages to win, saving countless people who were also at the mall.

But there are more and they don't stop coming.
Will he be able to survive until the end? 
Will he be able to beat the countless monsters that only seem to get stronger?
And will it just be monsters that he has to worry about? 

The journey of Kim Taehoon, The First Hunter, begins.

Editor's views  - from Ekdud

The First Hunter is a short Korean, action-fantasy novel situated in a post-apocalyptic world. Monsters start appearing out of nowhere and people are unlocking strange powers. Those who unlock such powers are called ‘Hunters’, ones with the strength to kill the monsters. To fight and survive, that is their goal. Society crumbles and the world burns.

A very fun novel that dives into the plot almost instantly. The novel is interesting in a way that it depicts a lot of human nature and what people would do in a situation such as this is quite an accurate manner. The character development is also very good as you get to learn about the characters, their backgrounds, and their stories. All in all, this is another novel I’d recommend to a lot of readers who are interested in reading fantasy and gaming novels.

**A licensed novel from Munpia**

"Hmph, hmph!"

Ahn Da Sol was making strange noises through her nose when she noticed Alexa talking to Lee So Hye and walked toward her.

"What are you doing?"
"Huh? I'm thinking of how to get the most out of my brother."
"Tell him to buy you a house."
"Come on! That's too much. Anyway, were you just talking to him?"
"Yeah."
"Then let's get going."
"I actually have other plans. Go on with Alexa."
"What plans? Do you have a date?"
"Yeah. Maybe?"
"What? Really?"

Lee So Hye was startled by Ahn Da Sol's unexpectedly serious response.

"Who is it?"
"It's not a serious relationship. Just a fling."

Just like Ahn Da Sol who lived abroad for a long time, Emily and Rachel weren't hesitant about having casual boyfriends either. In most cases, Korean idols weren't allowed to date or at least a few years after debut, but that rule didn't apply to Fantastic 4. However, that didn't mean they liked to date around. In contrast to their image as foreigners, they were quite conservative.

"Be careful not to get photographed."
"You're not opposing."
"Yeah, well… that's your choice."

Ahn Da Sol clicked her tongue at her leader's easy-going response.

'This is why blood runs thicker than water.'

Lee So Hye and Ahn Soo Ho were certainly brother and sister. Ahn Da Sol then walked off while humming once again.

'A date? I guess it's something like that.'

However, it was likely going to be a meeting of two bullets. While she lived as Kumiko, she endured all sorts of humiliation. Perfect camouflage was a major part of her life, and it wasn't easy living as a skilled Japanese woman. Japan hosted both racism and sexism more than any other powerful nation in the world. 
In Japan, they considered rape as the woman's mistake.
The reason why they kept quiet about rape was because they didn't think of it as a crime. Does it make sense for the culprit to be confident and for the victim to be criticized? However, that was what happened. They had no right to diss Islams and their honor killings. In Japan, the customs were always more favorable for men.

'But there is one condition.'

When it came to men with money and power, they were allowed to have multiple women without being criticized. On the contrary, they considered it an achievement. Despite what people said, Japan was still a country with many rich people. Since they valued cash more than credit cards, they had quite the underground economy, and their private money market was especially large. Japan's main export wasn't Toyota or Playstation.
It was loans.
Money lending companies were Japan's main export. There wasn't a single country without Japanese funding. Even the great China had a lot of Japanese yen going into their country. Many even joked about how 1/3 of Shanghai belonged to Japan following China's reformation because that was how powerful Japanese money was in all of Asia.
Was it because the Japanese financial system was superior? Not at all.
The reason why Japanese funds were superior was because after the 20th century, it sat and was passed down for a long time. In that sense, there was a difference between pro-Japanese and those knowledgable about Japan. Koreans and Chinese didn't like this, but since the 19th century, Japan was the only Asian country that stood a chance against the West. They were the first to modernize in Asia, and they were certainly in the lead.

Learn from Japan!
Emulate Japan!

Japan's plan of modernization in the 20th century spread to scholars all over Asia. Many countries of Asia used Japan as a model to develop their nations, and many scholars and businessmen of Japan used the world as a stage.
And America was no exception.
Countless Japanese crossed the ocean and settled down in America. There were positive economic effects suiting of the hard-working image of the Japanese, but considering the Caucasian's perception of colored people at the time, they were probably treated like working ants. In today's world, they were at a similar level as China, but in the 20th century, Japan was a strong nation representing all of Asia.
After the fall of the Japanese empire, the Chinese Communist Party thought they got rid of England, Japan, and America's profits, but they were just waiting their time. That was because if China hadn't rushed their reform, they would have been eaten alive by Hong Kong. Hong Kong's economic power at the time was a good way of pressuring the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.
Most thought that the Chinese Communist Party put the golden egg in the hands of the goose in return for Hong Kong's return. However, those who knew the truth couldn't say that. The reason why public safety couldn't catch Chairman Hwang Chi Rin even after he tricked the mainland and fired missiles was because they needed capital.

'Today's Chinese economy wasn't brought about with just the Chinese Communist Party's efforts alone.'

The influence of Hong Kong capital on the Chinese economy was bigger than what analysts predicted, and some of that influence came from Japan. There was talk about how overseas Chinese controlled South East Asia's economy, but those rumors were exaggerated.

'Among the overseas Chinese we know, there are many with unknown origins.'

They were likely to be Chinese traitors who escaped the Chinese Communist Party's purge following the downfall of the Japanese empire. They were Chinese on one hand, but not really on the other hand. The Chinese Communist Party probably wanted to hide this, but there were actually many overseas Chinese who were going against China.
China's stamina was weak compared to its weight.
They said they were as strong as America, but if the White House decided to beat them up to a pulp, Beijing had no choice but to surrender. The reason why the Chinese Communist Party insisted their supremacy in North-East Asia but couldn't act on their words toward America was because whether it was regarding economy, military, or diplomacy, they still lacked confidence.

"Hmph, hmph!"

Ahn Da Sol went to the secret house she had near her place. As someone who was an expert in camouflage, creating a new identity for herself was a piece of cake. For women, just changing up their makeup transformed their image. Ahn Da Sol, who transformed from a pure and sexy high school student to a woman with a hot body, put on some sharp heels and stood in front of the mirror.

"Hm, not bad."

She liked the youthful school uniform, but she didn't mind getting the gazes of thirsty men either. Just as Ahn Soo Ho predicted, her supernatural power was mutilation and deformation. However, that didn't mean she could change genders either. Kumiko looked like a girl, Ahn Da Sol was a middle school student, and this time, she transformed into a woman with a killer body sexier than that of Miss Brazil.
If a beautiful woman with a killer body walked by, it was hard for people of any gender to not stop and stare.

"Wow!"

The exclamations came out naturally.
Some even took out their phones and took photos. Ahn Da Sol didn't mind. She actually enjoyed the attention. Even the cars were starting to pass by more slowly. Ahn Da Sol ignored all of this and took out her phone.

"Hey, it's me."

She only said a few words. 5 minutes later, a fancy sports car arrived and she got in.

"Oh."

This time, people exclaimed in disappointment.
'Shit! All beautiful women are already taken!'
'How much money do you need to date someone like that?'
That was a clear misperception.
That was because the Lamborghini she got into was hers. The man in the driver's seat was just her driver. The sports car made a loud noise and drove off into the distance. Ahn Da Sol put out her hand as soon as she got in, and the driver handed her a thick pile of documents.

"I heard Altu is in the country."
"Yes, Ma'am. I was going to brief you on that."
"You're late."
"You can't compare me to Kosino. Not only does she have Mr. Guardian's support, but they have Cranky on their side, too."

He complained in a very sad voice.

"Okay, fine. What about the Bridal Mask Corps?"
"It's on the first page."

Ahn Da Sol went through the documents.

"Shay Leeper?"
"It appears that Mr. Guardian won him over."
"Wasn't he… an anti-wizard?"
"People usually realize something great when they're on the brink of death. Oh, and I think the high master is connected as well."
"Who?"
"Issac."
"I can't believe this. Does Soo Ho know?"
"He must. It's possible that declaring complete neutrality was a way of sending them a warning."

United Industries Alliance often explicitly tempted the queen of mutation.

"Why did he suddenly create Bridal Mask? I don't think it was to just get rid of Korea National Association and the Comradery Association."
"Probably not. If Mr. Guardian wanted them gone, they would have been on the same day."

Just getting rid of the middle management alone made it hard for them to avoid collapse.

"Then what is it?"
"Maybe he wants them to surrender to their fears. Leeper wiped out the executives but kept Lee Ji Heon alive. That's a very special case. Even though he deeply humiliated Mr. Guardian when he was young, he wasn't killed."

Korea National Association and the Comradery Association didn't know this, but they were quite famous among the foreign intelligence agencies. They were famous for being foolish and not selecting their men properly.

"So why is that?"
"Angelica, do you see him as someone with some superior fate? He just happens to have more strength than others. In other words… he's just human. There's no reason for him to run amok."

Nicholas Cha, also known as Cha In Tae didn't understand Angelica. Ahn Soo Ho's abilities were shocking, but the thought that he would win in a fight against the world all by himself was a delusion.

'I get why Mr. Guardian is treated like strategic arms, but the results of war don't depend on one strategic arm. The reason why the world is leaving him alone is because they don't want to take responsibility.'

If Ahn Soo Ho fought against the world, he would lose everything, and his opponents would lose even more. Heritage, which rules over the black market, didn't want to run into Ahn Soo Ho. Why? Because if they faced off, they knew they would lose much more than he would.

'Keeping face doesn't put food on the table.'

As soon as the sports car stopped, Ahn Da Sol got out. Before closing the door, she popped her head in and whispered.

"You don't know him."

She slammed the door shut without hearing his answer. She heard grumbling behind her, but she didn't mind it. As soon as a stunning woman appeared in front of the hotel, men were instantly riled up. Ahn Da Sol went inside the hotel and got on the lift. When the door opened, she saw a carpeted hallway.
Room 1210,
She knocked on the door. Then a man resembling a monkey poked his head out.

"What is it?"

He scanned Ahn Da Sol up and down and then shouted toward the inside of the room.

"Hey! Did someone call a call girl? Just admit it already!"
"Not me! Did the team leader call her?"
"Maybe. Nobuhisa sure is nice, but why is the whore so hot?"

They threw all kinds of insults about Korean women at her, but she didn't bat an eyelash. The snickering monkey stared at Ahn Da Sol once more and then closed the door to unlock it. As soon as he opened it again, it wasn't her big breasts but a cold piece of steel that poked through.

"Gasp, ugh!"

The knife went right through his neck, so he couldn't even let out a scream. Blood then flowed out like water. Ahn Da Sol pushed him back and entered the room.

'Three, four, seven?'

Seven people staying in one room? As soon as she pulled out the silencer gun from her shopping bag, the men in the living room were right in front of her. It didn't even take a single breath for the bullets to go through their eyeballs.

Thud, thud- Thud, thud-

They all died instantly. Ahn Da Sol was looking at the dead bodies on the ground when she remembered something.

"Oh! I almost forgot."

She put on the mask that she brought, and before she hopped over to the next room, she faced the CCTV camera and blew a kiss.

"I love you!"

We corrected the title from "Protect" to "Sooho" when we discussed with Munpia Editorial Team

We were all walking towards the house of Mr. Yamashita. It was obvious in his name that he's Japanese. 

How did he see this book before? What was his role in this world? Was he a protagonist or an antagonist? What did he do for this world? Did he succeed? What more does he know about this world?

I have a lot of questions about his life in this world. I know that he is the only one who can answer all of the questions I have in my mind. I know that I will be satisfied once he starts answering all of my questions.

The three of us aren't talking while we were following Mr. Yamashita. We also knew that he had powers when he explained a while ago that he made illusions so that knights could see other kinds of creatures to scare them away so they couldn't find his location. He said that he did it because he wanted people out of his business. 

But what makes us special that he allowed us to meet him?

He told us that only the three of us passed through his magic because Dionne had greater magic skills than he does. Even the weird machine we just fought a while ago was far more superior than the common machine that we encountered earlier in the morning. Mr. Yamashita also explained that those machines came in the forest once in a while to come look for the songstress if ever she changed her mind to go back to the tower.

Which is happening right now and maybe the machines are alerting its master. 

"Mr. Yamashita," I called out to him because I couldn't help but speak. I grew a little impatient in talking with him.

"Nani," he asked in his own language and I knew what he meant because I also learned Nihongo during my free time when I was in high school.

"How did you learn the English language?" 

Japanese people find the English language difficult. Those people who can speak the language commonly have high occupational jobs, or maybe they learned ESL or IELTS, or may have immigrated to other parts of the world that speak the language.

"I was an English teacher before in Japan and I also taught in universities in other countries so I had an edge compared to other Japanese teachers," he said and I nodded as acknowledgement. 

We reached his house and he got a key from his pocket and unlocked the door before we all went inside. Despite being alone in a forest, his home had a welcoming vibe to it. 

The moment we went inside, he lit up the lantern to brighten up the living room and motioned for us to sit on his couch near the fire place. We looked at his place and noticed that it was a very simple, yet a homey kind of house. In front of us, there was already hot chocolate and we thanked him before we started drinking it. He really knew that we'd come here.

He was really expecting us. 

Mr. Yamashita grabbed a chair from his dining room and sat in front of us. "So you were chosen by the book; chosen by the goddess," he started then sipped from his hot drink. Now he got my full attention.

"Sir, how did you—" he did not let me finish because he suddenly spoke.

"How I saw the book? The book can teleport anywhere. It can travel around the world on its own. I came from Japan, and you came from the USA, maybe," he started off then continued. "And I also know that you want to learn more about this book and how I spent my life here," he finally said and Dionne, Klein and I looked at each other before we returned our look to Mr. Yamashita.

I now know that he is the person that we needed in answering the questions we've been meaning to ask. 

"I know all of you and what is happening in this world. You're the warrior, Klein, you're the songstress, Dionne, and you're the synergist, Cevin." He told each of our names and roles as he pointed us with his finger one by one. 

How did he ever know who we were? What does he mean?

And I'm called a "synergist"?

“Only those with great intentions can see this book and those chosen by the book will make its desired story… 
but you will never return.”

Takashimoto Shizuka’s eyes were opened wide as she looked carefully at the youngster before her from up close. Her chin was held as he stuffed something that tasted weird into her mouth.

The Japanese flight attendant’s cheeks gave a hint of a blush.

She became somewhat panicky and shrank backward, slipping away from Chen Xiaolian’s grasp. Then, she spoke out in a nervous whisper, “You… Your Imperial Highness, that’s… too rude…”

“Enough, I am not some Prince,” said Chen Xiaolian who waved his hand.

“Not a… Prince?”

Takashimoto Shizuka stared at Chen Xiaolian.

“Mm. To begin with, I am not even a Japanese. Your Japanese Imperial Highness, that shitty Prince… could he be as smart as me? Could he be better at fighting than me? If the real Prince did come here, he would probably have wet his pants long ago.”

Chen Xiaolian noticed that Takashimoto Shizuka’s forehead was no longer bleeding. It seemed that the spicy bar had begun to go to work.

He reached out with his hand and patted her on her face. This move of his caused the Japanese flight attendant to blush somewhat – for some unknown reason, when facing this Japanese flight attendant, Chen Xiaolian had a desire to tease and pull pranks on her. Perhaps, it was because of the first kiss…

Besides, back then I was the one being tempted…

Resisting was truly hard!

Takashimoto Shizuka diverted her eyes away and looked like a frightened deer. She anxiously shrank back. After being patted on her cheeks, she revealed more confusion within her eyes.

Fortunately for her, Chen Xiaolian then stood up and left.

The cabin was filled with shouts of joy and celebration.

The flight attendants ran into the cockpit.

Roddy who was seated inside became the happiest person on the planet.

Several of the flight attendants held Roddy’s head and kissed his face wildly.

Roddy’s forehead and cheeks were covered with lip marks.

There was also a flight attendant with stunningly well-endowed breasts who held onto Roddy in happiness, resulting in Roddy’s face descending into her soft valley.

Is he not afraid of suffocating to death?

Chen Xiaolian observed Roddy for a moment and chose not to enter the cockpit.

The flight captain re-entered the cockpit and worked together with Roddy to pilot the plane – after that, he took over the flight once more.

At the same time, he also got into contact with the government forces.

Chen Xiaolian moved straight toward Sawakita Mitsuo and sat in the row before him. Then, he turned around and faced the old man.

Sawakita Mitsuo, Nagase Komi and the middle-aged man had already returned to their respective seats.

The old man looked at Chen Xiaolian with narrowed eyes. There was an aura coming from his eyes that did not match his age.

“Well then, let’s make a formal introduction, Guild Leader Xiaolian,” said Sawakita Mitsuo with a faint smile. “Allow me to introduce myself. I am the leader of a guild from Japan; you may call me Guild Leader Sawakita. Right, I almost forgot. My guild’s name is… Shogunate.”

Pu!

Hearing that, Chen Xiaolian who just happened to be drinking a bottle of water nearly sprayed the contents of his mouth.

Shogunate?

He stared at Sawakita Mitsuo.

The old man smiled and said, “My nickname is ‘Generalissimo’.”

Shogunate Generalissimo?

Interesting.

But…

Chen Xiaolian thought about it.

This Sawakita Mitsuo seemed different compared to what he had imagined.

As a Professor of Theology of an Imperial University and also the Vice-Grand Steward of the Japanese Imperial Household Agency, he should be someone loyal to the Japanese Imperial family.

And yet… judging from this old man’s behaviour so far, it would appear that he did not have much respect for the Japanese Imperial family.

This was inconsistent with most Japanese of his age. Especially when you take into consideration the fact that he was also something like a minister in the Japanese Household Agency. Additionally, he was also someone who held the title of ‘Great Teacher’.

Just now, he had led Chen Xiaolian to impersonate a member of the Imperial family of Japan.

Something like that was something that other Japanese citizens would never do.

The people of Japan view the Emperor as God himself. And the Imperial family was basically the family of Gods. Who would dare provoke the Imperial family?

Impersonating one was an act of profanity.

Additionally, this old man was clearly wearing the clothes of the Shinto religion, signifying his high position within the Shinto religion.

What was the Shinto? The Shinto was Japan’s ethic religion! The purpose of the Shinto religion was to elevate the Emperor of Japan to become a being of worship!

The old man’s decision to have Chen Xiaolian impersonate a member of the Imperial family indicated that he was somewhat lacking in feelings of respect and worship toward the Imperial family that most Shinto priests should have.

And then there was his nickname.

Shogunate Generalissimo!

What was the Shogunate?

In the history of Japan, there was a period lasting over 682 years, the Shogunate Era. In that era, true power lied within the Shogunate while the Emperor of Japan was reduced to a puppet figure!

For him to have such audacity, giving himself such a nickname: Shogunate Generalissimo; there was no need to wonder about this old man’s view of the Emperor of Japan.

“You seemed surprised to hear my nickname?” the old man asked as he looked at Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian did not try to conceal his thoughts. He said, “As the Great Teacher of the Imperial family, you gave yourself this nickname of Shogunate Generalissimo… he he… Guild Leader Sawakita’s disposition is truly stunning. You are a highly placed member of the Imperial Household Agency, yet you nicknamed yourself Shogunate Generalissimo. What of the Emperor then?”

Sawakita Mitsuo curiously regarded Chen Xiaolian and murmured, “Is it that surprising? An Awakened would ask me why a Japanese holds no respect for the Emperor?”

A peculiar smile appeared on his face and he said, “Back then, I did believe in the Shinto religion. However… think about it. After getting sucked into this game, after finding out that this world was created by the Development Team… would we still be able to put our faith in the Gods of this world? Naturally, the Emperor would be no God either… even His Majesty the Emperor is something that the Development Team had created, a mere NPC.”

Chen Xiaolian stared at the old man with widened eyes and said, “The Emperor is a mere NPC… old man, do you dare to speak those words when you are inside the Imperial Household Agency?”

“… ha ha ha ha!”

After exchanging glances, the two of them burst out laughing.

As someone who was born in Nanjing, Chen Xiaolian was actually someone who held a certain bias against Japanese citizens [1].

However, this Sawakita Mitsuo was just too interesting and Chen Xiaolian could not help but feel a sense of goodwill toward him.

Naturally, the fact that this old man had helped save him just now when he was holding onto dear life was also a huge reason for this.

As such, the atmosphere between the two of them became much warmer.

“For Guild Leader Xiaolian to fly to the US at this time, could it be that you are also going to participate in the punishment instance dungeon?” Sawakita Mitsuo asked Chen Xiaolian.

Chen Xiaolian nodded his head. He did not bother concealing that fact and asked instead, “Did Nagase Komi tell you my name?”

“Mm, after Komi entered my guild, she told me about the things that had happened to her in the past. About what happened back then, I would like to thank Guild Leader Xiaolian for taking good care of Komi. Hearing what she told me, I can tell that there were some misunderstandings. However, I have already told her that if not for you, she would likely have died in the Tokyo instance dungeon.”

Nagase Komi who was seated beside him suddenly stood up and bowed toward Chen Xiaolian. With a serious expression on her face, she said, “Guild Leader Xiaolian! Thank you for your care and guidance back then! Back then, I had given you a great deal of problems and I also misunderstood you. Please forgive me!”

Chen Xiaolian gaped as he observed the bald girl who had a cold an indifferent expression on her face. There was also a hint of firmness there.

It was hard to imagine that this was the same timid and panicky girl that he had met a month ago in the Tokyo instance dungeon.

This Nagase Komi seemed to have been reborn. Her face was a mask of calmness and cold indifference. Additionally, there was a hint of confidence behind her expression!

The old man waved his hand and Nagase Komi sat back down.

Next, Sawakita Mitsuo produced a bottle of wine… only God knows which item on his body was a storage equipment.

It was a white bottle of porcelain containing sake. He removed the cover and took a swig. Then, he turned to Chen Xiaolian.

“Guild Leader Xiaolian, are you free to talk?”

Chen Xiaolian chuckled and answered, “We are on an airplane, I doubt I’d be going anywhere. Since Mr Sawakita wants to talk, I don’t mind accompanying you.”

However, Chen Xiaolian had no interest in drinking wine. He instead produced a bottle of Coke. After opening it, he gulped down two mouthfuls.

“You youngsters. You always like these kind of drinks,” said Sawakita Mitsuo with a faint smile.

“How old are you?”

“Over 60.”

Sawakita Mitsuo laughed.

He shook his head and there was an amused look in his face. He continued, “I was born in Japan during the Showa era… that would be in the 50s.

“Back then, Japan was in the process of rebuilding itself after the war. The entire nation came as one to rebuild itself over the ashes of war. The people of that generation exuded perseverance, firmness and resolution. You could practically see the word dedication and hard work on each of their faces…

“Truth be told…”

As he said that, Sawakita Mitsuo suddenly lowered his voice, “This matter caused me quite some problems.”

“Eh?” Chen Xiaolian was surprised to hear that.

“It was an era where the people must endure with struggles and risks. Everyone had to give up their individuality and every citizen were seemingly transformed into one unified force, dedicated to working hard with everything they had to rebuild the nation.

“However… as for me, I am a natural born lazy bum.

“My laziness goes all the way down to my bones and I do not like being bound. Even more so, I do not like the idea of being a cog in a machine.

“Hmmm… maybe I was just born without the traits that a Japanese should have.”

Chen Xiaolian was speechless as he looked at the old man.

“… thus, due to my laziness, back then, I did not want to go to the factory to be a factory worker, or a construction worker, or a skilled worker or a police… I am a very lazy person who just don’t want to work.

“Thankfully, I have a good head on my shoulders.

“After considering it for a long time, I finally found a way out.

“In the beginning, I chose to study medicine. Later on though, I came to realize that being a doctor is an exhausting job.

“Back then, the whole nation was dedicated in their struggle to rebuild the nation. Everyone was filled with the desire to work hard.

“Doctors were no exception.

“Such a bitter path was beyond me. Thus, after mulling it over and over, I realized that there was only one path for me.

“This was the only path that could allow me to live an easy life. A life where I can blatantly be lazy, where I can choose to not work hard. Yet, I can still garner the respect of others and gain a high social status.”

After saying that, Sawakita Mitsuo winked and laughed, “… by becoming a God stick. A very powerful God stick. [2]”

Chen Xiaolian burst into laughter. It was a sincere laugh.

“Thus, I began to study religion. I used my brilliant mind to learn the Shinto religion and became a specialist in this religion. In the end, I even became a Professor of Theology and a high ranking member of the Shinto clergy – in this world, there is no other job more relaxing that this, one that would allow me to laze about openly!”

…

One day, a group of strange people entered this world, equipped in strange clothing and possessing extraordinary powers, cold-blooded killers! They call themselves [Players].

NPC beating up Players! Original residents beating up Transmigrants!

My world, my rules! What makes you think you bastards can come over and boss us around?

Treading the path of the strongest saviour in history, one destined to be filled with excitement!

…

Chen Xiaolian: From today onwards, an organization whose sole purpose is to oppose those bastards is established! Our guild shall be named… Player Thwarting Alliance!

Guild Member: Leader, this name, if we are to say it out, I fear we will be beaten up…
