episode_0001

I opened my closed eyes.

There was a wet taste in my mouth. As if I had thrown myself into a hammock, my vision wavered every time I turned my head. I felt the leaves of what appeared to be a pine tree at my fingertips, and the long branches and lush trunk were intertwined with my legs.

I carefully raised my hand and touched my cheek. When I pinch it, I feel the pain and the touch is so vivid. I wiggled my arms and legs, and it didn’t seem like I was hurt in any way. In front, I saw a sharp gap as if it had been carved with a knife, and a long, thick stem was connecting the gap and me.

When I turned my head to the side, all I could see was fog. I thought back to the huge sea of fog seen from the cliff. I was literally in the middle of nowhere.

I couldn’t tell how deep the bottom of the cliff was. However, considering the chilling wind that was blowing right now and the height of the mountain I was walking along at the time, it was quite possible to predict that I was just lucky enough to be halfway up the hill.

“After… .”

I wonder if the tree branch might break. I carefully stretched my legs and climbed out of the pine tree.

When I thought about how I almost died by falling a little while ago, I broke into a cold sweat, and my body trembled at the thought that I might not want to die in a more vain way. It was fortunate that the distance between the pine tree trunk and the gap was not far.

The tree that grew through the stones supported the weight of an adult man and remained firmly in place without any sign of leaning. I scanned the pitch-black entrance in the cliff with my eyes, picked up a rock rolling on the ground, and threw it down the cliff.

I waited for a moment to see if there was a sound, but there was no sound.

The floor seemed to be further away than I thought.

I looked around again. There was no way to go to the side, and there was only enough space to stick out for people to step on, like a veranda in an apartment.

And a shadowy cave was welcoming me, as if telling me to come in.

As the location is the location, there is no possibility of large animals living there. So I took a step forward with confidence.

“What is it?”

As I stepped into the cave, I was greeted by a larger interior than I expected, and at the same time, something caught on my foot. My movement was blocked by a heavy weight, as if the discarded fishing nets of a port had become soggy, and the sunlight coming through the cracks in the wall revealed the outline of the obstacle without hesitation.

It was a human skull. No matter how long it had been, the clothes were tattered and the face was crushed, but the person leaning against the wall was in an exhausted posture, and the entire body was stuck to the stone wall due to exposure to moisture.

I stretched out like a drunk, pushed away the legs that were blocking my movement, and went in a little further.

The subtle sunlight streaming in from outside made the interior scene appear blurry. In the deepest part, the sound of water drops could be heard. As I got closer, I saw a stream of water flowing at the end of the cave.

I carefully scooped it up with my hand and took a bite. It didn’t leave my mouth feeling stuffy and went down my throat well. I was confident that the water was drinkable, and it occurred to me that the corpse over there didn’t seem to have died of thirst.

Looking to the side, there was a separate room inside this cave. It was possible to move between rooms thanks to a crack made in a similar shape as an entrance, and on the floor of the room, there was a mark in the shape of a human footprint on the stone, and there was a large box in one corner.

There was also a long iron stake and an old rope, whose purpose I could not figure out, so I put them aside for the time being.

There was a hole in the room, so light came in, and I opened the box, relying on the light for my vision.

“Oh… .”

I burst out laughing. The box was full of old books and what looked like round medicinal herbs. I don’t know how they were stored, but these lumps of dirt were dry and the book on top was also in good condition.

I felt like I could tell what that sweet medicine was just by looking at it. There is no way the elixirs would have been piled up like that. It must have been Byeokgokdan.

I walked outside again. The white bones were still there. Clear flowing water that’s easy to drink, and a full Byeokgokdan altar. And an old book.

“There is no law for a person to die.”

It’s a coincidence.

A story about jumping off a cliff and meeting Giyeon.

You couldn’t tell anything about an untitled book just by looking at its cover, but the author of this book must also be a great person. Perhaps he was worried about losing his powerful martial arts skills, so he secretly created a martial arts class.

Who could it be?

He may be a famous expert in a strong league.

It could have been a sect like a demonic cult.

It could be a very evil martial arts skill.

How do you know what type of martial arts you are learning? For both black and white cats, as long as they are good at catching mice, it is enough for them to be strong in martial arts.

Now that I’ve come to a place where power decides everything, I just want to acquire the strongest power.

This level had everything I wanted.

I sat down at the entrance and opened my wallet.

[I am the right hand of the Heavenly Demon. It’s a devilish wind.]

“Slut?”

I frowned and looked at the white skeleton for a moment. The white bones had no gaze or expression, so this was meaningless.

I stopped looking at the skull and returned my gaze to the book. There was no need to be prejudiced even if it was a sexist. Isn’t it said that he is the right hand of the Heavenly Demon? He may have used fearsome magical techniques to play with the women in the martial arts world at will, or he may have used a magic trick to absorb the internal energy of the women he attacked.

When I heard the words ‘the right arm of the Heavenly Demon,’ I turned the page with even more anticipation.

[I was able to escape the pursuit of the Murim Alliance and arrive here, but my injuries are so severe that I cannot live long. However, I am writing this because I am afraid that the vein of vision will be cut off, so I hope that if anyone comes here, they will continue my will.]

I nodded and shifted my gaze to the next paragraph.

[Banjungsul]

The basis of Bangjungsul is training the fingers and lower body. The training of the lower body is an essential virtue in the practice of Jinggongsul and should not be omitted. Just by using your fingers flexibly and mastering the body of a woman, you can get one step closer to the vision of the Saekma.

Also, waist teasing and… .]

I quickly turned the pages. This was because the idea of ‘performing sex’ was a rumor in a place where the only people other than me were bare bones. After turning a few pages, I was able to move on to the next paragraph.

[Naegongsimbeop]

“Okay, this is it.”

Simbeop is the core of martial arts. To use strong martial arts, you need a lot of internal energy, and the better your mind technique, the easier it is to gather internal energy. What kind of mentality did the man who was called the right hand man of the Heavenly Demon have?

Is it possible to experience the vision of the Demonic Cult?

[Those who have learned the magic’s mind techniques can easily build up their power, but their magic energy flows out and is likely to cause resistance to women. So, in order not to be alarmed, I have learned the basic techniques of Shaolin, and I describe them here.]

“……?”

Are you crazy?

Are you learning Shaolin temple meditation so as not to arouse suspicion from women?

I looked at the white bone again. But there was no way White Bone could answer even if I gave him a questioning look. Realizing that it was useless to think about it, I glanced over the basic Shaolin meditation section again and then moved on.

[Light technique]

I glanced outside.

Since I had to get out of the middle of a cliff, it was an essential skill to learn.

[Dark moon report (暗越步)

The reason you came to this cliff is because you are already talented in light engineering or have experienced an unexpected accident. Amwolbo is a light engineering technique specialized for climbing high walls and cliffs. It is a light engineering technique created to enable one to escape from these cliffs and to easily approach women living in castles and mansions. Also, it is very useful for stealth because it can move far away without being noticed in a short period of time.]

This was the most useful item I have ever read. Once you learn this, you will be able to get off the cliff.

However, wouldn’t it be a loss if you come here and simply learn escape techniques?

I quickly moved on to the next one.

If he was this crazy about sex, he would have learned some magic to get a woman. Whatever the hex, it was clear that it would be a strong help in getting through the difficult life in the martial arts forest in the future.

How to erase my presence.

How to pretend to be dead.

After skipping all the sections on how to run away when encountering a strong opponent, how to read the opponent’s face and understand their psychology, etc., I was finally able to check the paragraph in this book that had things written about martial arts.

[Geumnasu (擒拿手)]

[To prevent the opponent’s resistance, mastery of Geumnasu is essential. If you use your body trained with Geumnasu and Bangjungjutsu, you can easily overpower and run away from people such as robbers, a woman’s husband, father, or brother. If your opponent laughs at you even after seeing Geumnasu, it is recommended that you run away rather than fight.

Here, I have described the basic training method and advanced process of Geumnasu, so I hope you will learn this technique and use it effectively.

Surviving is the way to win for the devil.]

“….This is just a crazy rapist.”

I turned the next page.

There was a picture of people practicing Geumnasu, and there was nothing after that. I took a quick look at the blank page. I looked at the white bones.

I looked at the book and the white skull alternately a few times, then walked to the cliff outside the cave.

There was fog everywhere.

There was no way out beyond the fog.

I couldn’t see the floor, and I didn’t have the confidence to jump or climb back up.

I liked it because I thought it was a coincidence.

A crazy bastard who went around raping women, relying only on Geumnasu and Gyeonggongsul and his own techniques, was caught.

“….Fuck really.”

Even if I swear here, nothing will change.

All I could do was either inherit the vision of this evil demon and practice, or eat Byeokgokdan and starve to death.

Rattling.

There was the sound of a white bone being tilted.

I clicked my tongue and walked into the cave.

What should I do?

I need to practice.
