The Shadow Eclipse guild hideout had just begun to settle after the Gangnam gate success.
Yura was cleaning her bow.
Dohun was working out shirtless in the courtyard.
Serin was dissecting a mutant frog.
Jinhyuk?
He stared at three blinking monitors filled with code.

He reached for his coat.
"I'm heading out."
Yura raised an eyebrow. "Alone?"
He nodded. "This one doesn't respond well to teams."

Seoul Digital Underground – Abandoned Tech Market
Dozens of old cyber cafés, shattered robotics stores, and gutted research labs.
Jinhyuk stepped into a dark corridor filled with tangled wires and flickering lights.
A robotic voice echoed:
> "You've entered a restricted zone. Turn around."
"I'm here for a conversation."
> "No thanks."
Jinhyuk smirked.
"Then I'll break through."

Suddenly, killer drones dropped from the ceiling.
Turrets popped up from vending machines.
A steel-plated security bot lunged.
Jinhyuk vanished into shadow.
Pressure burst out of him like a tidal wave—Qi sharp enough to slice steel.
One flick.
All drones fell.
One step.
He stood before a locked vault.
"I know you're in there, Jin Seo-woo."
Silence.
Then—
Click.
The vault door opened slowly.
Inside: a cluttered room of glowing monitors, server towers, and digital sigils painted on the walls.
At the center sat a boy—slender, silver hair, VR goggles, and gloves sparking with mana circuits.
"You're not with the Association?"
"No."
"Not a corp hunter?"
"No."
"Then why?"
Jinhyuk tossed a badge onto the table.

"I need someone who can rewrite code, hijack systems, and crash entire dungeons with a keystroke."
Seo-woo stared. "…I like crashing things."
Jinhyuk smiled. "Then you'll love what comes next."
