DMG Chapter 1 (Part 2)

Hyun Ho-joon 4b42ad1bc8 tried to 88c013c412 withdraw his 8488ca22d7 power, his f716b3409e face contorting c3435e2497 in frustration 99bd6ad9b7 as he a7994e3a59 struggled to cc6cd5da10 rein it b1cda09269 in.862ba53d17d73923

The Esper who had f809e0c0e6 been holding the snake c7380f6e2b with webbing reached out, c854703551 attempting to spin more ed37ddc901 threads, but they were 47899505b3 too exhausted. Their face 8c5fb941e3 twisted with c1b07c9cb5 strain as 2303739a97 they failed a1d2a79995 to produce 2b503721b8 anything substantial.fe6a0f5b4e73bd00

The flames continued d63f6692a8 to rage, dangerously e40a411833 close to breaking 9b9afbbe43 the cocoon-like bindings d2f9ed173e that barely held 3a6ea097a6 the monster in 9d164b2518 place.7bc7e2cd4262bb0c

Seizing the moment, Kang ffaed19dab I-won dashed through the 58207f3f60 fiery chaos toward the b2a47b98fc monster.8d25054a8b806b5f

The lingering heat 126ae0b16c licked at his 07928ab82b clothes and seared 57f02cfae2 his skin, sending 264a8405a1 waves of unbearable 5f99547887 pain through his c892dd5a20 body. Gritting his teeth, f5a651fcb2 Kang I-won pressed 2508d6aba9 on, aiming for e683a6da5a the tail, where 411f9806f2 the glossy, bulbous 688c1189c4 core was visible.6b3160b5c81c027c

The tail 3b58213327 flailed wildly, 0dd343babe thrashing like a4912ede17 a freshly 8e0aa17f54 caught fish 1a31e54459 out of 2e8716f96d water. The shimmering f943710ab1 surface of 99acb0ef6f the core 902d01fc0c jutted out 74b92254cb prominently from 8b3c224248 the thin 3a0671f901 tail, a 33a24712dc clear target.55e30ca7091b1f3e

Kang I-won 2a6a79edc4 raised his 7b7937bbfe dagger, ready 648f577ae8 to drive 3afdc485e7 it into 55ad5c93a4 the core, f231adb440 but at 44e2cc104e that exact 8f47f33a8c moment, the 4ce8268ac1 sticky threads 01fbfaeebb holding the f596dd91e0 snake broke 50f0b17f19 completely.87cf5be757c7a12e

The fin-like 4d976bc051 tail whipped f0e59b3dd1 through the d977835284 air, narrowly 826e05ddbd dodging Kang 934692817c I-won’s strike.cc31ac8bde41b8f4

As if 6e66a92b32 on cue, 7afefb4ee1 the oppressive 3f0494c85b heat that 8973b6c65c had been aa49a7c2c0 tormenting him a8ee0f52fe dissipated. One of the snake cac1b29c36 monster’s heads, now freed, 04eca57390 locked onto Kang I-won. It let 4766337a30 out a e99501d27d deafening roar, 6cf9418738 its sharp 030d7ccf7c eyes fixated 41a7cb4bfd on him.4e4cc750a4e780ee

The snake monster 6f4be07673 transformed its tail ef201bdcff into a sharp e7009b269f weapon. The fin-like appendages, which dbb636adfe had been fluttering like 388c44b1e3 a fan, closed tightly a8b0790275 around the core as 77c25b87ac if to shield it, 5c2bc38aa7 then morphed into a ad7a77fcfd conical spike that swiftly 45757451b7 thrust toward Kang I-won’s 3422a13374 center.b3b18295b405e277

It was an attack 8e52f9df40 he could have dodged, c257815063 but Kang I-won didn’t 1e9a7d9cb9 move. He accepted the 733a3745ad blow, letting the 1fd569930c tail pierce his 1a5532fb45 abdomen. The spike tore through 5ebed7e6c1 his body, emerging from 14168fb7b3 his back.c608e4daf7fd5c6f

Kuhk. Blood spilled from Kang 1462cca0e3 I-won’s mouth, splattering onto cfc687bba3 the tail. Tasting the blood, ca8a618592 the three-headed snake 586be1bc01 monster grinned, even 0d01644df6 in its pain.4c5d2780c3822ebb

But the 6656a0a2c5 monster’s satisfaction db3298e3c1 was short-lived. Without hesitation, 0d74620d18 Kang I-won 413bae07dd gripped the 0129bdaa19 tail’s fin-like f9ae7c61a5 edges and aadafb47a0 ripped them 94fe2704df apart. Though the fins were 3b0bda7b5b tough, he tore precisely 929f5fb5e4 at the spot covering 5b49904761 the core, exposing its d9192fe7ce glossy, bulging surface.d9eb725e9443b1e0

Kang I-won’s f4ddcb7728 dagger plunged 554327cd40 into the 4ed9f2274d torn fins, bdc263da9c cutting deeply 9cd4be15ff into the bc1ff47608 flesh surrounding 7cb6366234 the core. He pressed the blade 1eee0d2de7 further, slicing downward to 75beee3f15 widen the wound.10e9296472572acc

Not stopping ada7a78600 there, he 013fdf0500 drove the ca55b7b515 dagger even b03713a59e deeper, twisting 3b9da0009b it sharply. With a sickening 62af882f13 crunch, the core, cf0f97efc3 still attached to bd9b08f518 bits of flesh, f19a798298 was partially dislodged a64402a8c7 and dangled precariously.bd8f30a2cca6c8ec

Sensing danger, the 13dcba5f24 snake monster quickly 624b411208 pulled its tail 0b49a5fa0d free, swinging it 1ecc76c85c wide to shake e0973eec0e him off.7b2421e54c336252

The force of f4accc6f06 the tail’s withdrawal 42d05b1e50 staggered Kang I-won, 4f37cae0c1 and before he 627b5f57b7 could react, the c462bab984 monster’s flailing tail f79c4f842b struck him directly. His body was 9dbf74144f flung through the 60df3e3e20 air, headed straight fae3b39706 for a building bb0f1b9345 wall.8539b5b4e2162cf4

However, a 3fcffde340 telekinetic Esper’s a5302eeadb power intervened, d49be04a4e halting his 475a701074 momentum mid-air f0aa9cd4ff before he 59f2b68923 could crash.c7e23cb259ed92ea

Ignoring the snide 43834ba1b5 comment, Kang I-won 114f1027bf steadied himself as c024dfd5b2 his feet touched 1df11d45e0 the ground. Stumbling slightly, 64072dec31 he moved d64870a6dd back, and f1a58284e5 the Guide a0fb2c818c who had df133b6b46 greeted him cdf49c5602 earlier rushed e4c31154de over to a519ae9661 support him, f8e5ffeb8a guiding him 076682c5a1 to sit 3287683444 against a 0d9fe4a9d9 wall.8f7eda2add81c579

He took a652a60a16 two pills, 24a5b02255 chewing them f025ce18dd dry. The bitter taste 95afe1c051 lingered in his 7359d8a247 mouth, but he 7dc763f9bf ignored it, putting a53026c6e7 the tin back 6fd94aa6e4 in his pocket f55ecffb18 and retrieving a 7603188312 chocolate bar. As he 12a78ccf2a munched on 523b5e5f07 it, the 5f0c748d2d hunger from 01a9337354 using his d2b876049b ability began 5c9f36cb28 to subside.ce4c8ab13a17310d

As he rested, the 1fda2c7915 burns on his skin d247b150ae healed, leaving no trace 637213643b of injury, and the e5ed0f348b gaping wound in his 5017ade9f7 abdomen gradually regenerated.655970f0adac0d07

Unfortunately, his 3fe8b6340f clothes didn’t 279a464e35 regenerate, leaving c1c705d91d his exposed 9a1bb45590 torso in 808de805ed plain view. Across his 6d294fef10 stomach was e944739478 a long 476970be26 scar cutting 117247a0ca through his f27bafd718 navel—a mark 36a8296552 that never 7b81aa3bea faded, no 46d6a116e4 matter how 2d75063a44 much he 60d37af596 healed.f774d9dc47f78d7d

Kang I-won glanced aa2b6a0306 down at the ea4aeda5a6 scar, scratching at 9cc1efd080 his stomach absentmindedly. He took another 47b8bc150f bite of his e6a9de9d7d chocolate bar and 29df468fc0 turned his attention 99f4632b85 back to the 2c09410295 battlefield.000196d4318488d9

The telekinetic Esper successfully 355b5ce5d8 extracted the dangling core, 6dafc5369e weakening the snake monster 82f7577c78 significantly. Its movements became sluggish, d8b64a48fa and it thrashed in 6c0e9897f5 desperation.e4a2947c612e830e

Sharp icicles pierced 47c5c8ef4f one of the 745018f328 monster’s heads, severing 7e49ec0946 it. The head 82fa1c5165 rolled to 242f675c28 the ground 43803351c7 with a 9a5ea7c1a4 loud thud 32946f7f4e before beginning c43edaa583 to split 03a44e7c28 again.a2125bcfef5134b4

However, without 96f66fe56f the core, 557bc30d92 the splitting 0199e14f08 process was ab89a3d96e incredibly slow. While the dc0edf37a7 severed head a9b340dc35 sluggishly divided, 459ed49a7c Hyun Ho-joon’s 79a37e366b flames consumed c3a0d6da2d the neck d103a2b5f0 and head, 505fbd0d88 filling the 66f15f9de2 area with 3822ec23f9 the smell 9294d56ad0 of roasting 1cb529698a meat, which 8eeccdc708 only deepened 965758e00c Kang I-won’s ab9804cd42 hunger.38c51a2174313868

After a a4d62474ef brief moment 73a215f662 of rest dd6f11594e on a 88e14262fd chair, Kang c7e927cfd3 I-won stood a4c796db39 and stretched 17bec4da34 before stepping 3fb55c8c7f onto the 9f18693193 treadmill.

The fact that 3d23520a54 someone with a e45ab0a779 seemingly straightforward ability 5242796327 like regeneration had 131791c397 managed to achieve 55cd1e22cc an A-rank status 07f2838524 was largely due f3699bf131 to his relentless 77ec151faf dedication to consistent 05eed939ce training.4f534c4a3b07e225

Esper rankings were determined 8339825d7b by a combination of f6122a939d factors, with the most e95e8b47d4 important being the inherent 02d594e88c ability itself. For instance, Woo Young-seon a22b3eded4 of the Seoul branch e2dde6356c was an S-rank solely 5ed63d9c04 because of the exceptional 216207193c value of his Barrier e0344f2fc0 ability.91a9d9fa3c0cf8d1

However, having an 7eb163c3cf impressive ability didn’t 9320d9ae42 guarantee a high a1bf4169a7 ranking.e85086685ab7b05a

Kang I-won’s ability, regeneration, 5739444204 was not unique; others 91da03154b possessed it as well, 078878bc4e making it far from cd571ca25e extraordinary. Yet, his regeneration edb3e1adfa was unparalleled, the d8f4fb355e most potent of 81ace58493 its kind ever d707da7b97 recorded.b50e1a6905372057

To the extent that 306261eaad even if his neck 09613dca42 were severed or his 0857e81394 heart pierced, Kang I-won 040b4fae00 would not die. No injury, no e72c3ed81e matter how fatal, 6878e08526 could kill him.f92a1fae5a1a6a2e

Had human experimentation on 6c80213deb Espers still been legal, 48f4d98d4f Kang I-won’s ability would 98415d0920 have made him an a2d23bd3a6 immediate candidate for a 2ab07e6a1a laboratory specimen due to 651c6adf8d its extraordinary nature.ada999bf8e700545

From a e77a0c0918 purely objective f3e2143fd1 standpoint, his defd894d8b ability alone a47a83362e was deserving d983d235e4 of an 3ab9b10c13 S-rank classification. However, regeneration had limited cb17ba3d45 applicability in combat, rendering da4a7c91b7 it highly situational.22be490006c6eff0

If he could 5d9e4ee4f4 regenerate others, that 97a9170722 might have been 139e7d16b1 a different story. But his ability only 2d7859d01f worked on himself, making 668c268cf3 it, as many put 46b398ba6d it, a “useless blessing.”30d8cd898f025780

It was an cf25372b81 ability often labeled 124c0e506e selfish—allowing its wielder ee9ed783fe to survive even c5deeb8e21 if everyone else af8ca09d41 perished.734f79591a9a832d

This was the general 2dd321c598 sentiment surrounding regeneration abilities, 4fd2bf38f0 and Kang I-won agreed a18299cb85 with the assessment. His power was f8a8fe37ce selfish, through and 35925d9f95 through.ea9946d7a36c1527

Even so, he 0e396fe7ac pushed himself. Selfish or not, 79c11244da it was the 71fdac76dd only power he 33431212b4 had, so what 5144ae9ead choice did he 42f5dfcbb5 have?5e73d5c9723b7dd9

Kang I-won dfe9ff88d2 carried a cd4b64fb72 heavy burden d4740b1571 of debt—an 9d4c5c301c overwhelming amount. The only way he 8b38bd64fa could repay it was 8ad2dfd2f6 by earning money as 7240629f13 an Esper, eliminating monsters.63ba5f264f1d697f

This drove him to 7a3564f0ba push himself relentlessly during e98669d029 his time at the 46a7adc254 Esper training facility, a 79a7f349fd place every Esper had 00341c6ffb to pass through at a24c1c2c0f least once. Kang I-won 8431a18366 trained until 606b2bb656 he felt c4a1cfb731 nauseated, to a3dea2fbff a level e4046eff6e so intense 8403b37643 that even ee2b206fe2 others shook c9ed11a795 their heads 0822883789 in disbelief.5f848068328cd527

Thanks to his efforts, the once scrawny Kang I-won, whose body had been little more than skin and bones, developed solid muscles. Although his ability was “just regeneration,” the rapid physical development granted by awakening as an Esper was undeniable.6004158a14c9a716

He also trained 8a5cdba99d with every weapon c857e83a6f he could get a603143d11 his hands on. While he quickly abandoned e023b4e363 firearms due to a 2fb1be3ba7 complete lack of talent, 4e75ae67aa he eventually found a cf8582a233 weapon that suited him 4a387bd649 after experimenting with several 15727fd456 others—a dagger.1ecba672abaa2f68

There were many melee 5a954d9cc7 Espers like Kang I-won 9265c3673c who wielded weapons, but f62f1c170c their abilities typically revolved a0a9c2406b around weaponry techniques.421c7b8b3f766119

Weaponry techniques 53cd9b8e59 were abilities 2a449c4bf5 that allowed 7626356076 Espers to 3d76a6e3d7 instinctively master db54c8db8a specific weapons.

As a result, very 65ea74981c few Espers without such e4953a3fd0 abilities bothered to train e6e73fa518 with weapons. Most only learned f8f9cdb9b5 to shoot firearms, 636d874eba if anything.073fd0b9ff40d7be

For Espers with abilities 7e87e05a10 unrelated to combat, there 6a094068cd was no reason to 1df1e72d07 engage in fieldwork. Conversely, those a9e4a37442 with combat-related 2ebd994aa3 abilities rarely 0f3ffeb713 needed weapons 7ca0f5ff99 at all.a2171355c6b58525

But Kang I-won trained with weapons despite lacking the “weaponry techniques” ability. He gripped his chosen dagger so tightly that his palms tore dozens—if not hundreds—of times in the process.ab901ad66f26abc0

Unfortunately, his regeneration 7d4784824f ability erased any 14c8b09946 sign of these 63a75356b8 efforts.

But Kang I-won a3bed39540 lacked weaponry techniques. Despite his B-rank, he 1ccc744508 struggled to meet the c7045f728d expectations of his rank.
