Chapter 7# The Underground

NEXT MORNING...

Gojo Satoru decided to quit his job as a cashier to focus on practicing his Renewal Taekwondo and earn more money through underground fighting. He found information about a Pyongyang underground fight on the dark web, and after a few hours, he arrived and signed up.

After spending a few days in the beautiful city of Pyongyang, North Korea, someone knocked on his door. Upon opening it, he found a golden ticket. Although he hadn't provided his home address, they seemed to know it. It wasn't surprising since all underground fighting is illegal.

At the underground fights, Gojo presented his golden ticket, gaining entry. Inside, he discovered a large room with wealthy attendees wearing masks. A classic ring was set up in the middle, and Gojo noticed a 180cm tall opponent, possibly American, waiting for him.

Entering the ring, Gojo observed the opponent adopting a boxing stance. "Boxing, huh," Gojo remarked. "Well, this is my first time fighting a real boxer." The opponent misinterpreted it as an advantage, not realizing that Gojo's skills surpassed expectations.

The referee announced the rules: "There are no rules. You can kill or knock out your opponent. Do you understand?" Both fighters confirmed their understanding.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a handsome new fighter on the left side of the ring!!" The referee continued, "And on the right side of the ring, we have a BOXING FIGHTER, SMOKIN!!"

The referee yelled, "FIGHT!" Gojo assumed his Renewal Taekwondo stance while Smokin held his boxing stance. Smokin believed Gojo's stance was similar to taekwondo, but Gojo, underestimating his opponent, aimed to be entertained.

Smokin approached, and Gojo watched closely. Smokin attempted various punches, but Gojo effortlessly dodged each one, utilizing his superhuman vision. After 15 minutes, Smokin was gasping for breath, realizing that Gojo was dodging his moves despite claiming it was his first time fighting a professional boxer.

Thinking it was getting boring, Gojo decided to end it with his Renewal Taekwondo move, the Scissors. Jumping and kicking diagonally, he closed the scissor move, knocking Smokin out. The crowd fell silent, but after a moment, cheers erupted. Gojo left the ring, collecting his prize of 266,646.00 won, thinking, "So easy to make money. I should go underground sooner."

Returning to his apartment in SOUL, Gojo became famous overnight. The defeated boxer, Smokin, turned out to be a level 6.7 Boxer. Gojo, initially sent as a scapegoat, unexpectedly became a golden treasure, and they named him "White Snow Death."
