1 Hammer Time - Literally  

In the quaint and picturesque village of Jingshan, the day began like any other. Roosters crowed, villagers bustled about their chores, and the sun cast its warm embrace over the landscape. But little did they know that today would be far from ordinary, thanks to a man named Jar.

 

Jar had always been known for his eccentricities back in the modern world, but nothing could prepare him for the bizarre turn his life was about to take. As he lay on a makeshift scaffold high above the ground, working on a construction project, he couldn't shake the feeling that something unusual was in the air.

 

"Hey, Jar, pass me that wrench!" shouted his coworker, Mike, from below.

 

Jar, with his characteristic grin, decided to have a little fun. "Wrench? Wrench? Oh, you mean this one?" he yelled back, playfully dangling a hammer over the edge.

 

Mike's eyes widened in terror. "No, no! Put that down, Jar!"

 

But alas, Jar's grip wasn't as secure as he thought. With an unintentional slip of his hand, the hammer plummeted downward, narrowly missing Mike and crashing into a stack of crates with a cacophonous bang.

 

As the dust settled and the workers stared in disbelief, Jar burst into laughter. "Whoops! My bad! It's all in good fun, right?"

 

Little did Jar know that his antics had set in motion a series of events that would change his life forever. The scaffolding creaked ominously beneath him, and in a final act of cosmic irony, it collapsed, sending Jar tumbling toward the ground.

 

But instead of meeting the cold embrace of death, Jar found himself in a swirling vortex of light and sound. It was as if the universe itself had decided that he needed a fresh start, or perhaps a lesson in humility.

 

And just like that, Jar's journey into the Murim world began.
