But the bond of brotherhood shattered when Michael betrayed the organization, seeking to seize power for himself. His betrayal left The Circle fractured, vulnerable, and desperate to reclaim control. Knowing that only one man could succeed in eliminating Michael, The Circle turns to Hyeong Shin, their greatest asset.However, age has taken its toll on Hyeong Shin. Though his skills are unmatched, his body no longer possesses the agility and strength it once did. Desperate to complete the mission and settle the score with the man who had betrayed everything they once stood for, Hyeong Shin undergoes a perilous ritual that restores his youth and vitality. The procedure is as ancient as it is dangerous, but the transformation is successful. Rejuvenated, Hyeong Shin is ready to take on the challenge that lies ahead.The mission is clear: track down Michael, who has established himself as an untouchable power in the underworld, and eliminate him. But this task is far from straightforward. Michael is no ordinary target; he is a mastermind with resources and connections that run deep.

Flashbacks reveal a time when they fought side by side, bound by a shared loyalty to The Circle. Michael’s betrayal is a wound that cuts deep, driving Hyeong Shin not just to complete the mission, but to confront the personal betrayal that has haunted him for years.With The Circle backing him, Hyeong Shin is armed with the best intelligence and resources available. But the deeper he dives into the mission, the more he realizes that The Circle’s motives are not as straightforward as they seem.

The climax of the story is a breathtaking showdown between Hyeong Shin and Michael, set in a labyrinthine fortress that Michael has turned into his stronghold.

The Circle watches from the shadows, their true intentions only becoming clear as the final confrontation unfolds.In the end, Hyeong Shin emerges victorious, but the victory is bittersweet. The revelations uncovered during the mission force him to question everything he has ever believed in. The Circle, once a beacon of loyalty and order in his life, is revealed to be as corrupt and power-hungry as the enemies they sought to eliminate.

Lich.

While Anastasia may look rich, All the money she earns, are used to build up her army, so there are pretty poor living conditions in the previously built army.

It wasn't time to pay attention to such trivial matters, we had to take matters into our own hand, Power makes people greedy.

The man, was indeed the same as the others, he started attacking the same people he once worked with.

The powers had completely demonized him.

"With great powers, comes great responsibility." Said Timothy, a fan of Marvel Studios.

"NOW WHAT IS MARVEL!?"

"It's a group of people who produce movies that are purely fictional based on real life locations such as New York City, While there are some few places based on pure imagination such as the space war and different planets, etc; You're 70 now, It's not surprising that you do not have knowledge about this." Said Jack; "You're 70 too..." I replied, He couldn't think of what to say next.

"So well, Now that this guy started attacking his comrades, Do we kill him? Or keep him alive to research on it later, there is also a chance the golden crown might disappear off to nowhere after we kill him." I questioned, While it was an obvious answer that the latter was the right thing to proceed with, some of the others disagreed, because of him committing homicide.

"Guys, Just because he killed a few people doesn't mean we should exterminate pests like him. He does disgust me, But what if the power we research on through him, turns out to be helpful for all of humanity, Think of this as an investment in the long run."

While we were here discussing, that puppet master had already disappeared from our sight.

"He is up to no good once again..."

We rushed over to capture him, his last location marked by the trackers placed on every one that works under Anastasia to prevent getting spied on.

His last location is the location where his apartment is situated on.

Puppet master's kids are currently at school right now, What is he there for? His wife already went to her job early in the morning.." said a man, supposedly his neighbour that joined this work alongside him.

"Give us more information on what kind of person he is." I said, "Well, as long as I remember, he is that 'a rude little bitch' type. Though he may act like a creep around those who are powerful, he doesn't really give a shit about those who are weak." He responded.

"Well, That gives us an idea, that if we overpower him with sheer strength, it seems like he will submit his being to us, And to kill the organisation off, we need as much manpower as needed." I thought, well giving it a good thought, it does make sense to acquire a strong asset.

"Take out the vehicles, we are moving immediately."

Within an hour and a half, we reached the place where he was last spotted.

"There, there is his apartment, room no. 13."

We broke in without hesitation and found pieces of flesh and blood throughout the floor.

My intuition suggested that they were his own family, and it's not close to being impossible, since the crown removed any humanity left inside him, but as I said, Timothy, who was at stand by outside, called out for me, his family was coming in.

"If they're down, who was murdered here..!?"

We quickly banned this apartment from entering due to murders committed.

The body was slaughtered brutally, we couldn't recognise the body, that is when something strange occured.

The man with the crown, was spotted, in the living room, sipping a cup of green tea.

"How the hell can we drink tea when people are literally murdered right in his house!?" I wondered, but it wasn't long till I found that it was Him who murdered those.

"Stealth." I disappeared from the human vision and tried to monitor him.

With a sneak attack, he grabbed my neck and lifted me high up in the air, disabling my stealth skill.

"Ho- how did you spot me..!?" It wasn't the question whether how and when he spotted me, it was "him being strong enough to beat my strength that I kept struggling to free myself from."

His face was like an undead, bones were visible right on his face, he had turned into a skeleton.

"What the hell.. What did you consume for such things to happen to you...?"

System notifications from the status window popped up.

"Effects:Stun, Weakness have been inflicted on the warrior, Resisting the effects...

Resistance completed, no effects have been inflicted on you, heal by 50%."

"Great." I couldn't think straight because of the sudden attack, grabbing me by the neck.

"Ah man, what do I have to attack with now!?"

That is when I remembered, The fountain pen I previously equipped myself with, during the fight with the Japanese member, was still in my back pocket.

"Shit, if only my fingers were a bit longer."

The greatest aid I could ever recieve at that time soon arrived, The Blink User! Timothy! Has appeared!

"I, The assassin class have arrived!" He beheads that man at once, the crown automatically detaches itself from the host and falls on the ground."

But that doesn't take away the granted powers.

He reattached his head back to his neck and stood infront of us like a robot.

"Do you think he has unlimited regeneration?"

"Probably not, maybe his energy or health is limited." I replied to Timothy.

"The best one to work with Battles Of Attrition here is Jack, but he got pretty fatally injured during the previous fight with the villager horde.

"Have you noticed, or is it just me, but the skeleton dude infront of us, There are purple rays coming from behind him, and his clothes are changing to those of ancient marksmen and archers with a huge robe.

"System:That monster type is a Lich, his heart exists somewhere else between 500 meters. Destroy it to kill the Lich."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Fuck it, It's a mix of leveling manhwas and urban fantasy
