Narrator's POV.
Johan was currently facing the best member of North Gangbuk. His only ally was Uijin Gyeong, who frankly wasn't really useful.
He just took a serious hit and was sent flying, he would be of no use and it's not like Johan had expected anything from him.
"I'm going to get a little serious, I hope you won't be too damaged," said Johan as he started walking towards the North Gangbuk executive.
An enormous pressure emanated from him, perceptible to the people around. Choyun knew he would have to give his all against this man who was once the leader of the territory he desired to conquer.
"Attack him all at once!!!" Choyun didn't care about the image he was currently projecting to his subordinates, his instinct told him to flee or fight to the end.
[Main quest update in progress...]
[1/ Survive against Johan Seong]
[2/ Succeed in rebuilding a new crew]
[3/ Take revenge against Johan Seong]
[4/ Unify Seoul]
[Reward: ?????]
'Shit, the system seems to agree with me'
Choyun knew Johan was strong since he had seen him easily beat all his opponents until reaching his location.
But unfortunately for him, knowing and seeing were two different things. He now understood why the system couldn't see his stats beyond his potential, which was already alarming.

Despite the desperate assaults of the North Gangbuk fighters and Choyun, Johan dodged and returned identical attacks with inhuman strength.
It was as if each of them was facing a more terrifying version of themselves. Uijin Gyeong, who was sent flying after trying to participate in the fight, was astonished by the turn of events.
"From the beginning, he's just been playing with me?" This was the conclusion Uijin Gyeong had reached while observing the scene before him.
It was no longer really a fight but a massacre, no one could touch Johan and even if they managed to by miracle.
Johan continued to fight as if he hadn't been touched.

Johan Seong's POV.
I didn't know I had this side in me. In my past life, I wasn't really a thrill-seeker or a fighting enthusiast.
But... It's different now.
*sound* Broken bone.
"I'm not a murderer, but I have to neutralize you one way or another."
I grabbed the man who had the greatest striking power after Choyun. I understood his name was Jeongdu Ma.
I took away the use of his arm by hitting his elbow after dodging his fist. Despite his strength, this man remained human.
Joints are fragile. Zack Lee understood this after training his body to resist powerful physical attacks.
There are things that can't be trained, like internal organs.
"Haaaa" He couldn't hold back his scream before I knocked him out with a punch to the temple, it must be said that boxing striking techniques are unforgiving once properly hit to the skull.
I didn't stop moving despite having removed a troublesome element from their group. I focused my attention on the next one.
It was a guy who had an ability that seemed to weaken me slightly and he was getting stronger. I just pretended to be too busy dodging Choyun's tackling attempts before abruptly turning my attention to him.
"Got you," my words seemed to surprise him.
I immediately acted by exploiting this moment of inattention. I used a JKD technique that Warren will learn in the future.
I hit his heart before taking a position similar to Manager Kim and Warren. I hadn't learned CQC from Manager Kim or a professional, it was a pure copy made by observing online videos.
I injected into it the essence of Johan's current experience, I could instinctively feel it bringing me attacks.
It was as if I had a domain and in it, no one could dodge my attacks. The target was currently within my reach.

During his paralysis caused by the shock to the heart, his allies tried to intervene but things happened almost in an instant.
*bam* Sound of a body lying on the ground.
"I really should avoid testing such dangerous techniques on weak people," I turned to the three people still conscious.
The attractive woman who was with Choyun didn't seem to be a fighter, so the opponents were just Choyun and these two men.
"Buy time," Choyun immediately started running towards the door. His behavior surprised the woman and the two remaining men.
I seized this chance, they were clearly confused by their leader's decision and I wasn't charitable enough to forgive this fault during a fight.
I directly attacked Daniel and his colleague using CQC. Normally, they weren't within my reach but I was just faster.
I just shortened the distance to be able to exert the full power of my technique.
It only took me a moment to put them out of action or cause them a possible problem. I immediately grabbed the woman abandoned by Choyun in his rush to the exit and threw her towards him. It must be said that I have abnormal physical strength for a teenager.
*bam* Their two bodies violently collided.
"I think you're trying to run away, aren't you?" I slowly approached my two targets.
The rest was just me smashing Choyun's skull despite his small attempts to use his supernatural abilities, I didn't give him time to express himself or invoke his cards.
*bing*

"What is this shit?"

Hanju Gu's POV
"They are really weak," Jaehe Han complained while walking next to me.
I agreed with him, we had beaten our opponents so far without much difficulty.
I really wondered why Johan didn't want us to attack those related to the top 5 of North Gangbuk, I estimated that we were prepared.
I planned to bring the others to the center of North Gangbuk to prove to Johan that he was wrong. We just needed to take care of the supposed "guardians" of North Gangbuk, their numbers 11, 12, 13.
"Hey, Hanju, have you noticed?" Jihyeon Lee's voice resonated behind me.
I observed around me before nodding to her, there seemed to be a problem.
It had been a while since we had met anyone along the way, it was likely that we had currently fallen into a trap.
"Stay on your guard, it seems we'll soon have to give it our all slightly," Seok Kang warned the others.
It only took a few minutes for an individual in nerd attire to come towards us with his hands in the air.
"I'm not hostile, we have lost against your leader anyway."
I was slightly stunned by these words before regaining my composure and glancing at Jaehe Han, he had a facial expression similar to mine.
We had underestimated Johan's strength, he had been able to go alone into the enemy base and had already taken down their leader in a few hours.
I was even sure he had taken so long because of the travel and finding the location of their leader. I understood better why Gangbuk had been under his control.
"That's good news, but I have the feeling that we could soon face the man who prevented Johan from taking Seoul."
I agreed with Jaehe Han, things were far from over with just Gangbuk. Johan was far too ambitious to limit himself to just this district and we might soon clash with those who prevented him from extending his influence to other districts.
"Guys, we'll go meet Johan and don't forget the girl he asked for," Seok Kang gave the instructions before we left.
"Idiot, I'm a boy and not a girl!!!"

Johan's POV
[Do you want to become the new user of the system??]
"What is this shit?"
I glanced at the disfigured Choyun on the ground and the holographic panel floating in the air in front of me.
"I know you can observe me. If you don't allow me to meet you now, then I will immediately refuse to use your system."
I didn't mince my words and to be frank, I didn't really want the system.
If I said I wasn't interested in the power it could offer me, then I would be lying. The problem was that I didn't know the true intentions of the system administration.
I remember that throughout the manhwa, it hadn't stopped manipulating Suhayeon Kim and it literally treated her like a slave.
If she couldn't succeed in a main quest, then it would have taken away all her gains obtained by the systems.
I didn't want such power, unless I got along properly with its creator regarding its functioning.
[Request from potential user recorded...]
[Launching request analysis....]
He seemed to hesitate to meet me. I was going to have to push him a bit to want to see me and I remembered that I had met the protagonist of a pornhwa.
He didn't necessarily have to be alone and I know there were perverse protagonists with abused powers in this kind of work.
For example, the protagonist of "Sex Stopwatch," I remember he could stop time and had physical strength that could allow him to break metal objects by accident.
Anyway, I must be careful in my current universe and these kinds of perverts could be a problem if they all exist.
"Tell me, what's your connection with the creator of the app named 'The World is Money and Women'?"
The moment I finished my words, the holographic panel disappeared and I found myself in a bright room in front of a huge golden card.
[How do you know that guy?]

Author's note: The protagonist is talking about a cosmic entity that appears in a pornhwa named "APP for the Emperor of the Night". It's a being that gives powers via an app.
Of course, it's not free and the end of the story is terrible for the user of these powers.
To give you an idea of his power level, this being can literally isekai an individual after killing them and he has physical feats comparable to a king of the first generation, or even more (he was never serious towards the last two chapters).
Small note: I'm currently writing a novel under another account, the novel is named "The Fallen Empress: I'm just a magus in a reversed world".
If you can check it out and possibly leave a review, that would be nice, thanks.
