First Encounter

[9:30 PM, A few blocks away from Jee-Han's House]

The sun had set and the moon had risen, illuminating the dark streets with its beautiful clear rays.

Standing on top of a building gazing at the moon was a man wearing an impressive black suit and black shades on his face. Overall, he looked as if he was the owner of some sort of wealthy company and hailed from a noble background.

The man in question looked downwards towards the streets that were crawling with abominations that everyone would classify as "Zombies" and raised his hand that was resting inside his pockets.

"Let's begin"

A command, a simple one at that was all he needed to cause a dark red sphere to appear in the middle of the street crowded with zombies. All of a sudden, it grew several times larger and began to suck the unsuspecting zombies into its endless void as they howled with anger and confusion. Every zombie in the vicinity was completely erased and the sphere swiftly moved towards the summoner, slowing evaporating its essence into his raised palm. It only took a few seconds before the sphere had vanished and the summoner was left with a blank expression as he jumped off of the building and landed on the ground with such artistic grace.

"I suppose that's enough for today..."

Before he could do anything else, a torrent of flames erupted from the ground beneath him and he quickly jumped back a few steps, placing both of his hands at his side.

"That's as far as you go, Black Summoner!" A strong and powerful voice shouted as the man in the tuxedo juggled his head to the side to notice vast amounts of people surrounding him on all fronts. It didn't take long before there were over fifty individuals, both male and female alike and had him completely boxed in.

"Hooh... if it isn't the Yunhonmoon Clan. This is quite the unexpected entrance you've made here." His voice held no traces of fear or despair; if anything it had a playful and whimsical tone.

"Cut the crap and explain to us what exactly you're doing here" Stepping forward from a large group of the people gathered was a tall, slender looking man with vibrant orange hair and yellow eyes wearing a plain white shirt and black pants. He had a youthful looking face with several scars on his eye brows, a clear indication that he had experienced a few close calls.

"Whatever do you mean? I believe there's no law against taking a stroll through the streets" The man in the tuxedo responded nonchalantly.

The rough looking man grunted in annoyance. The bastard was making fun of him.

"You know damn well what I mean; this area belongs to the Yunhonmoon. You should know that making Illusion barriers in our jurisdiction without permission is forbidden!" He ended his proclamation with a shout.

The man in the tuxedo didn't even flinch in the face of the intimidating aura of his opposition and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's not like I care about those rules your clan has set anyway. This area has proven resourceful for my plans so I'll be using it however I see fit."

Suddenly, the tension in the air had taken a dark turn and the members gathered around the man in the tuxedo began to show their hostile intent. Even in the face of it, tuxedo man didn't seem fazed at all and continued to stand there with a somber expression.

"Heh, is that right..." The youthful man's face twisted into a more mischievous grin as he pounded his fist with an open palm. Flames began to pour out of his fist and he glared at the man in the tuxedo as if he was a bear about to hunt his prey.

"The Yunhonmoon always tries to reason with any potential enemies before making a sound judgment but it's clear that you have no intention of leaving this area. If that's the case, allow us to personally teach you what happens to dumb asses that don't know their place"

The man in the tuxedo sighed as he adjusted his shades and reached into his pocket, pulling out a strangely shaped item.

Confused, the rough looking man squinted his eyes.

"And just what the hell's that supposed to be?"

The man in the tuxedo crushed the item he was holding in his hands, shocking everyone gathered around him as he grinned devilishly towards the muscular man in front of him.

"Well like you said; I'm just showing you your place"

[8:00 AM, Han Family Residence]

"Crap! I'm going to be late!"

Rushing out of his house with a piece of toast in his mouth and a half buttoned shirt was Han Jee-Han as he sprinted down the street. Getting a little too carried away playing his games, he had slept pretty late last night and had woken up to a very pissed off mother that had to teach him another painful lesson of life; when your mom says wake up, you wake the hell up.

He rubbed his pour butt as he remembered the dreadful experience and finally finished fixing his tie and wolfing down his breakfast. He was glad he grabbed something to eat this time; going to school without any food for the morning was nothing short of hellish.

Passing the corner street, he suddenly felt an odd sensation in the air. It was difficult to explain but he could tell that something had happened, as if the weather had changed drastically. It was a strange feeling to say the least but he decided to ignore it for now before stopping short in the middle of the street.

At that moment, he saw two figures standing across from one another on separate buildings, well actually three figures if you count the bizarre three headed dog, beast, thing whatever it was called that was standing behind one of the figures that looked like some sort of Mafia boss.

Jee-Han turned his gaze at the other person and he blushed a bit when he saw her. A beauty, definitely a teenager around Jee-Han's age was wearing a white and brown school uniform. A sudden gust of wind blew her beautiful crimson hair back and she took a fighting stance, showing off her well toned legs.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, a question popped up into Jee-Han's mind as he regained his senses.

What the hell was going on here?

--------------------------

A/N: Chapter 2 is completed! TheBlackDuelist hopes you guys enjoyed the written adaption, he is sure it'll never be as enticing as reading a drawn comic but he hopes that you can still visualize his story properly.

As TheBlackDuelist mentioned earlier, you'll notice that most of the canon events have been compressed and even shortened and skipped. Also, scenes that weren't in the comic that TheBlackDuelist feels should have been shown (such as Sung-Gon crippling the Yunhunmoon) were added so yay for that.

TheBlackDuelist adapted chapter 1 plus a little bit of chapter 2 of the original so he'll see how that works out for the rest of the chapters.

Look forward to the next one!
