Chapter 2: The Awakening

Sen's determination to activate his dormant ability consumed him. He spent countless hours experimenting with various techniques, hoping to unlock the power that had eluded him thus far. However, each attempt ended in disappointment. It seemed that fate had different plans for him.

One fateful day, as Sen immersed himself in his training, a sinister presence lurked in the shadows. Without warning, an assailant launched a surprise attack from behind. Instinct kicked in, and Sen's reflexes allowed him to narrowly evade the strike. It was clear to him that the attacker was no ordinary foe – he recognized him as a notorious black-list criminal.

Fear coursed through Sen's veins as he realized the danger that loomed before him. He knew that engaging in combat with this criminal would likely result in his own demise. But Sen refused to back down. With a surge of courage, he prepared himself for the impending clash.

As the criminal lunged at him once more, Sen fought back with a resilience born from desperation. Blow after blow was exchanged, and it became evident that Sen was outmatched. Yet, despite the overwhelming odds, he refused to yield. He would fight until his last breath.

Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, an extraordinary event unfolded. A mystical tattoo of a sword materialized on Sen's wrist, its intricate design glowing with an otherworldly light. A surge of energy coursed through his body, and time itself seemed to freeze.

Before his astonished eyes, a dimensional gate materialized, its ethereal aura beckoning him forward. Sen hesitated only for a moment, his curiosity and newfound power overriding his fear. With a leap of faith, he stepped into the gateway, leaving the world he knew behind.

As he emerged on the other side, Sen found himself in a realm unlike anything he had ever seen. It was a world known as Murim, a place where martial arts and ancient traditions thrived. Murim was a world teeming with warriors, mystics, and profound wisdom.

The inhabitants of Murim regarded Sen with both intrigue and caution. They recognized the unique nature of his arrival and the extraordinary power that emanated from him. Guided by a venerable master, Sen began his training in the ways of Murim, honing his combat skills and learning to harness his newfound abilities.
