It's January 11th, 2017. two days ago Gangnam District where Sinyoung Hospital at, had a big snowstorm hit it. Although two days had passed since then, the street and building still had a thin layer of snow covering their surface.

It is 6:00 in the morning of Seoul. A man wearing a white winter coat with a blue jeans and white sneakers jogging around the block that felt quite desolate. There wasn't many pedestrians nor vehicle in the area of Seoul 'hotspots' as it is currently winter and still early in the morning.

The man huffed and puffed a cold air from his mouth that forming a small cloud that made a trail behind, like steam from a locomotive. But strangely this man's face didn't show a bit of cold at all. Rather, his face shows a broad wide smile.

He is none other than Daeho that almost got his first objective in his daily quest complete.

...

+Jogs (4.9/5 km)

...

"Huff huff... the temperature here isn't as cold as NY." said him while jogging. He feels that Seoul's cold weather isn't as cold as his place before. Coupled with the fact that his body got stronger from the system and almost complete objectives, makes his body warmer.

Feeling a rush of adrenaline he jogs faster and didn't see his feet projection. Which of course a recipe for a disaster as he landed on a frozen puddle and his body slipped backward.

Maybe because of his increased status that indicates that he was more flexible than a normal person, his body moves as reflexes. He moves the center gravity of his body from his feet into his head. With a swift movement, he does a backflip.

And landed gracefully three meters from the position where he slipped. Landed strong on his feet he had his arm opened wide to the side. He was in disbelief after doing the action.

"That's great young man!" an elderly woman sounded on his left side. Looking at her it seems that he landed in front of a street food vendor.

"Ah... hehe, thank you aunty." said him rubbing the back of his head. Clearly embarrassed that his action got notice from other people.

"Aigoo you must be careful in this winter. The frozen puddle is everywhere! Kept your bone healthy so you won't have a problem with your daily life!" warn the old lady with a warm elderly smile.

Embarrassed about the situation, he thanked the old lady and bow one more time as he leaves her. He moves towards the park direction hastily. And then on his way, he got a barge of notification.

[+Jogs (5/5 Km) Complete!]

[Ding! Acrobatics (R) acquired]

[Ding! Instant Mastery (EX) Activated]

[Ding! Proficiency of Acrobatics (R) increased 100↑]

'What?' he was startled by a sudden notification.

Without waiting for him to ask questions and search for answers his field of vision is dimmed.

The surrounding scenery changed.

Now, he standing in a front of a seemingly large crowd.

They're cheering and shouting like crazy. But what unique from the crowd is that all of them wear a fine clothes. The man wears a black business suit and the woman wears a frilly heavy dress. The crowds look like people from the 19th century.

"Splendid!"

"Please do it again!"

"I love you, Dan!"

Now he was certain that he was given a vision of someone else. He was viewing the crowd from the first point of view of another person. His body moves itself. It seems the person that he had a vision of moving his body.

The person courtly bowed at the cheering crowds. He moves his feet to the front of a metal circle that hangs 3 meters in the air. There's a people that wear all black tight suit placed a small trampoline in front of it.

Daeho got a bad feeling looking at that. The black-suited people spurted the hovering black circle with a liquid. He could smell a gasoline odor coming from it, 'Oh no.'

Now he knew what was going on. The black-suited people bring a torch to the black circle that made it flared with a bright yellowish fire.

Whooaa! the crowds were in awe looking at the explosive fire combustion.

With an exciting drum beating that reverberated the whole area, it cut the amazement that coming from the crowds short, Daeho could feel that the crowd looking at him with an excitement. They hold their breath waiting for something to happen.

He felt like his body moving itself, lifting up his hand high and take a stance. With a swift movement he does cartwheels for five-time before landed on the small trampoline and launches his body to the burning circle, head first.

Daeho strangely didn't felt nervous at all. His heart calms even though he could felt the fire heat directly on his skin.

Then he passed the fire circle splendidly. Afterward, he spins his body midair and backflipped his body before landing straight on his feet while he spread his hand wide above his head.

WOOOOOO! the crowd goes crazy with cheering and shouting at him.

"Ladies and gents! present to you Dan Rice!" said the announcers that stand wearing clown garments, on a high platform in the clearing to the crowd using a big metallic megaphone.

Daeho felt his heart filled with excitement. After the act, he does another ten tricks. When the trick of using flying trapeze is done, he knew that he is in a circus and acts as a performer.

He continues to do acrobatics, moves with a lion, bottle tricks, and even makes the guest came to help him. Inside the man, Daeho too experiencing what he had experienced. It's great, his body feels alive. He wants to do it forever but alas alas the duration of the show won't let it. The show ends with the cast stands in rows. He stands beside a lion and bowed to the crowds.

"Thank you!" said him waving at the crowds and then, Daeho eyes dimmed and the scenery changed again.

He's back to the modern world of concrete jungle that is filled with a thin layer of snow.

The person's body movement seems to imprint on himself. He could felt his body became more flexible. He tests it by doing cartwheels 5 times consecutively before jump high and do a front flip.

He felt alive!

Landing with a beaming smile he runs towards the park direction to finish his quest.

On the other side of Gangnam...

Kim Hyomin is a girl in her late teens. She wore flashy and trendy clothes to make her figure more mature. True, coupled with a bad-girl make-up on her face she looked like a twenty-something woman. Hyomin had a mid-parted bang that showed her big forehead to the world.

She wants to enjoy Seoul since it was a rarity for her to go to the capital of her country. As she enjoyed its nightlife (club) some unexpected things happen and she is now standing in some alleyway in Seoul near a motel. A man obviously taller and older than her grab her wrist and engaged in arguments with her.

Maybe Seoul's nightlife is too much for her, she goes with the flow and got wasted. A man bought her to a motel. And the said man was in front of her with a fierce face.

"Hey, cmon don't leave me like this. I didn't touch you that night, I swear!" said him 'earnestly' while gripping her arm harder.

The night when she was wasted, the man bought her to the motel in a condition no better than her. Same as her, he was drinking too much and when he sees a comfortable bed he immediately sleeps on it.

Hyomin knew that, because when she wakes up her nether region isn't stinging. Although she is what you say a delinquent, she kept her purity for her fated person. She has already seen a woman that too easy to pick so she isn't willing to be like them.

Her mother Kim Mi-Jeong is one of that kind and the one that she hated the most. She used her body to gain her position at her company. At some point, she saw her doing it in her house while her dad is away from home. It made her rebel and didn't want to do a normal high school girl path. Which in her mind is L double B (love-bed-broke) rinse and repeat.

So when her mother brings her to Seoul because she's attending some promotions in the company she's in, she goes to Gangnam to release her from nausea she felt.

But things didn't go as her expectations.

"Stop it! it's hurt!" said her holding out the pain on her wrist. Although she felt grateful to the man for not deflowering her, it was too much to grip her hands over a small dispute.

"What do you mean hurt? I didn't do anything!" shout the man looking at her in disbelief and anger.

"Your hand, idiot! it's gripping me!" said her while her left hand that is free formed into a fist and launched to his head. Unfortunately for her, it got caught by his other hand.

"You bitch! we talked about what happened in the motel, I didn't do anything!" said the man that holding both of her arms now. He moves forward to pressed her to the walls behind her.

"You-! Fine! you didn't do anything! so please could you release me? I need to go back ASAP!" said her trying to escape his grip, she could felt her phone in the bag that she's wearing reverberating.

The man looks at Hyomin's face in annoyance.

Then, her cleavage flashed and could be seen from her loose shirt. Of course, that didn't escape his eyes, the man's head filled with lust in no time. He wouldn't let her go, it was too wasteful.

"Not gonna do!" said him tightened his hand on her wrist.

"Fuck you, crazy bastard! Release me! Help!" seeing the man's eyes that turned sharp, Hyomin knew that was an indication of a bad thing. She shouted to the side, looking for help.

But no one answer.

"No one gonna hears you! I knew this area quite well and it is very desolate in the morning!" shout him as he tries to make her surrender. He resists the urge to lick her fear-filled face.

'Haah... should I just surrender like this? to give my purity to this pathetic man?' although she is a delinquent, she couldn't compare her strength to a man. She felt helpless and began to loosen her strength. A small tear could be seen forming in her eyes.

"That's better! now let's see what insi—heuukk." before the man's hand could get any further a white sneakers landed perfectly on his head.

It was Daeho... his shoes to be exact, and more importantly, still attached to his feet. Apparently, he launched his feet to kick the man in the cheeks. The man stumbled to the side and Daeho using his face as a foothold front flipped his body so he could land on his feet again, deep in alleyways.

"Ah, Fuck!" shouted the man that still standing. Although he was kicked right in the head, the man seems to have more strength in him. He didn't stumble on his butt, rather holding his body in stance. He looks at Daeho while holding his cheek in anger.

"Catch me you if you can, you dog offspring!" shout him while running deeper to the Alleyway without looking back.

"You bastard!" the man left Hyomin's wrists and run to follows Daeho in anger.

Feeling the sensation in her wrist disappears Hyomin opens her eyes only to find out that the man was running deep to the alleyway to pursue another man. Her eyes widen at revelation and familiarity after looking at her savior back.

"D-daeho...?" Mutter her absentmindedly after looking at the back of her savior. although she wasn't sure it was him since she didn't look at his face clearly. Hyomin was wondering why did her savior back resembling the harmless rabbit so much?

She knew Daeho, of course she is. After all, she was one of Daeho's bullies in her school.

Hyomin couldn't believe what did she saw. Her heart flutter, it beating so much that it started to ache. She had a dreamy look on her face as she thought, 'I-is he... my fated person?'

*Brrrr**Brrr*

A vibration from her purse wakes her up from her dream. She grabs her Smartphone with annoyance. It was a K-talk message from her mother. Her mother asking where she was because they will be back to Incheon, today.

"Tch..." she clicked her tongue as she felt disgusted. She walks out of the alleyway with annoyance and mixed feelings. As much as she wants to meet her savior it will be bad if her mother threw a tantrum at her because of her disappearance.

She won't associate her savior with that harmless rabbit tho. Tough, maybe... if the school semester starts. She will confirm the truth directly from his mouth.

---

"Ptui! Ah, It's fucked up." said Daeho in disdain while spitting on the man's hair.

The man that wants to get a score with Hyomin is now unconscious on the side of a small alleyway. He limped his body on the wall, a small trace of blood could be seen trailing down from his lips.

Daeho only wanted to use another route to the park since he had an [Eidetic Memory] and remembered the map clearly. But he met an unexpected 'protagonist' situation. He was rather excited to test his abilities.

As much as he wanted to had a heart-pumping fight, Daeho feels that if he fights the man in front of the girl, the unexpected could happen. So, in case of lowering the chance of her getting involved in the fight. He lures the man deep into the alleyway. Fortunate for him, the route he took actually made him closer to the park as he could see he was currently in a high-end residential area.

But the fight didn't provide as much excitement as he thinks it will be. Using his acrobatics skills he walks on the walls and kicks the man's jaw with his knee, and with only that move, the man down, unconscious.

"What is this feeling." mumble him as he felt a strange feeling in his heart looking at his achievement. Although he felt empty that the fight isn't too exciting, he felt that the heat on his body is welling up.

It's not that he wants to do 'Julius Move' on every girl that he saw. He felt that the girl's complexion was somewhat familiar. It's unfortunate that he couldn't see her face.

But that didn't matter since his heart filled with a strange satisfaction of saving a damsel in distress.

'It's great' he thought, before continuing his quest leaving the unconscious man behind.

---

A black-hooded figure that had a look of woman could be seen walking to the unconscious man that Daeho had beaten before. She was smiling looking at the departure figure of Daheo.

"So that was the 'Blessed by High Heaven' person..." she said with a playful tone. she continued, "Why did his blessing felt weak tho? it's already two days since the queen tasked me and I could only find him by a sheer luck."

She looks at the unconscious man with a smile. She said, "Really unexpected..."

"He was a hero type... I guess my queen won't need to worry as he will be killed by human greed sooner or later. Although it was a pity for a cute boy like him to die, his sacrifice is necessary for her glory." said her while leaving the place. And go walk back to the direction where she appears. she continued, "Or maybe he will become like Sung Shihyun and join our side... fuahahaaha!"

"Either way is a win for us... Guess we will leave him alone for now." said the woman skipping her feet and humming playfully.
