We Die Young

------------ -This is must be hell-  was the one thought running through his head Gyun coughed as he tossed the dead bodies off of him, he climbed to the top of the pile of dead bodies, sticking his sword into the abdomen of a man who was still wheezing with life. He leaned heavily on the hilt of his sword as he panted harshly, he used his sleeve to wipe the blood out of his eyes. His clothes were shredded, and he was bleeding profusely from dozens of shallow cuts all over his body, his eyes were bloodshot from exertion. With his other hand, he crouched down, reaching under a dead body he pulled something out of the abdomen of another dead man beneath him. Holding it up to his face, it was a silver mask coated in blood with beautiful engravings decorated to look like a demon. Pressing it to his face, he held it in place by circulating the qi at a certain frequency to keep the mask attached to his face. Looking across the battlefield, stood his last remaining enemies picking his sword up he took a step forward. --------------------------------------------------------- All credit for the cover image goes to Redlady 04 --------------------------------------------------------- Author's note: I recommend skipping everything from chapter 2 all the way to chapter 22, to be honest, the in-between isn't that good and you aren't missing much. Its to set up the world and the characters. But the story kicks in starting around chapter 22 so that's a good starting point if you want to skip the fluff. Tags: Action, some thriller, investigative, Anti-hero MC, Violent MC, political, overpowered, fast-paced, it’s not quite cyberpunk but the MC wakes up on September 26th of the year 2037 and technology has progressed but not significantly Update Schedule will be fairly consistent until the end of summer and I have to go back to school. It will be every 2-3 days there will be an 1800-word chapter or longer. I will announce breaks in the latest chapters so you will know why I may go radio silent for a few weeks. Thanks for reading This novel will also be available on Royal Road, the novel there will be improved from this one. However, I still plan on updating and putting out chapters here. The one on Royal Road will be where I put most of my effort.

Going to school

Gyun walked down the hall, he glanced down at his schedule, the class was the same as written. He walked behind the teacher, who was trying to make small talk with him.

-This is it…..It's been so long since I could meet people my age. All my friends drifted away from me a few years after I entered a coma according to my mom. This is my chance to start fresh, to become a completely different person than the boogeyman who haunted the battlefield.-

Gyun waited outside the door as the teacher entered the classroom taking up his spot at the front of the class.

"Class!Class!Listen up I know school only started 2 weeks ago but we have a new student with us. He's had some extenuating circumstances so he will be taking our class but you may hear of him being in others. Ok, now why don't you introduce yourself to them."

"A transfer? We're only 2 weeks into the school year and someone's transferred in already?"

"Is it a guy or a girl?"

"Hope they're hot"

Gyun walked through the doorway, taking a deep breath before speaking. "I'm Gyun Sung nice to meet you."

"Very nice, ok now let's begin class". The teacher pointed at a desk in the back of the classroom, "There's a spot in the back for you to sit."

There were whispers that erupted across the class, mostly from the girls commenting on Gyun's appearance. Though the uniform made all students wear a thick dress jacket that hid Gyun's muscles. His wide shoulders and sharp features and jawline coupled with his two different-colored eyes, a side effect of the complete heterochromia he was born with, and flawless olive skin. Made for an extremely attractive combination, with his messy black hair covering his eyes, he had a sort of bad-boy appeal about him.

Gyun sat in his seat, he could feel the eyes of many of his classmates but he ignored them and acted as if he didn't notice.

Class started abuzz with the arrival of a new student, and an extremely handsome one at that.

As the school day progressed, Gyun was struggling to follow along with most of the class material. He hadn't attended an academic class in 10 years, in Murim there was no need for complex algebraic equations or calculus. You just needed to be able to win with either technique or raw power and qi.

The teacher droned on, "Subtract the radical from the rational equation and then simplify the…."

Gyun's eyes glazed over his hands just monotonously writing notes. He thought to himself, -Am I required to come to this? I'm taking the GED anyway. Why do I have to come here?-

It was then he overheard some interesting gossip.

"Hey did you hear Baek Ji-Won knocked out her last fight?"

"Did she?"

"Yeah, I heard her dad pulled some strings so that if she wins her next fight she can fight the number 1 contender in her division."

"Really? Then she might have a chance at the champion!"

"Yeah, you know her dads have been pushing for her to become a respected professional, she's definitely good enough to debut in a larger MMA promotion right she just needs the qualifications."

Another girl interjected into the conversation, "She'd definitely be popular in ONE FC (1) she's pretty and extroverted."

"But her older sisters the real deal isn't she? She's ranked what? 4 in the bantamweight for ONE FC she's only 5 years older than Ji-Won right?."

The girls continued on, Gyun waited until the bell rang for lunch.

Gyun walked down the hall, there was somewhat of a crowd in the hallway, they were curious about the new handsome transfer.

Gyun arrived pretty late so it took a while to get his food.

'I don't really know anybody, should I just go ask those girls from before?'

Gyun was pondering what to do when someone called out to him.

"Hey, transfer!"

He turned to see a trio of guys accompanied by a girl, the girl was the one who called out to him. Sporting bangs with a blue stripe dyed in her hair she was pretty Gyun gave her that.

She was smiling widely, as she trotted over to him leisurely. The guys behind her looked less amenable, with sour expressions they sauntered their way over

The one that seemed to be leading the guys, looked similar enough to the girl that Gyun would hazard a guess that he was her brother. He was also good-looking and had well-developed traps and his shoulder were wider than his waist, indicating he had a good physique and trained often

The other two, looked average or below average, with skinny arms and frames, there was nothing that stood out to Gyun.

-The girl is a 2 out of 100, the brother a 10, and the other two are a 4 and 5, they're not a remote threat-
