7 A whole new world.

S.U.C., the Black Forest Defense, MArtials Art Alliance, Kaiser, hidden clans. Everything is real, and I am late for the run. I almost despaired, but my logical mind built with years of reading science articles and books held me together. Let's gather some facts, the ranking first.

How I am late? Well, people start cultivating Ki really young in the World of Murim-In, and they spent decades to get to a master ranking, and the very few more talented can reach the more advanced rankings.

The ranking is:

Beginner:

A beginner is the lowest rank within Murim-In can have. They are, as the name implies, beginners who are just starting to learn martial arts. They seem to normally be taught in groups under a single master or school. While they are weak compared to the rest of the Murim they are already superhuman compared to a non-Murim-In. Much of their training consists of meditation to learn how to gather and distribute Ki and then strength training to keep their bodies in balance with their Ki.

Practitioner:

It's the Average Murim-In, they are people who are not considered beginners but they are not experts either. Thus, we will conveniently call them: Practitioners. A practitioner is a Murim-In who has succeeded in learning the basics of gathering and distributing Ki and has an average skill and knowledge of martial arts. They have begun to learn martial art forms for fighting but are not very skilled or qualified to teach others. It should be noted that even this Murim rank is so impressive physically that their actions look like movie special effects to non-Murim-In.

Expert:

An expert is a Murim-In who has reached a high level of skill (probably Master level) in a specific area of Martial Arts but the skill level on the rest of the known Martial Arts is average. Users of such level can be confused for either Masters or Practitioners due to the large gap of skill in different techniques. Murim-In of this rank is usually known for their area of expertise.

Master:

A master is a very skilled Murim-In who has mastered a martial form and Ki circulation technique. They are skilled and knowledgeable enough to take on and teach students. While their strength and skill are immense their power is limited by the size of the Ki center that the human body has. This seems to be the rank where most Murim-In stop growing.

Advanced Master:

These are the Murim-In that are above master level but are far from being Real Masters. This implies the existence of another rank between Master and Real Master. The people of this Rank are usually confused as Real Masters due to the difference in skill between them and Master level Murim-In. However, the difference between the skills of such people and Real Masters seems even greater. Thus, concluded in the existence of this rank. For this rank there is no official reference, so we refer to it as, Advanced Master.

Real Master:

A real master is the highest rank that can be reached by "normal" means. The individuals that have reached this level are people who managed to reach the potential of the human body after they underwent the fourth and final step of training. They are greatly skilled and capable of impressive feats such as throwing cars and causing small whirlwinds with kicks. Their fighting style and skills are highly specialized depending on the school they are from and the style they use. The most definite trait of a real master is the state of their meridians. They are no longer limited by the natural limits of their Ki centers due to expanding their meridians, which causes the distribution channels of someone's Ki system to widen. Because of this greater amount of Ki is generated in the body thus they are capable of fighting at a whole different level.

Beyond:

An assumed rank that includes individuals who have been recognized by the Murim as individuals who have skills that are described as Inhuman. This rank is left with quite a vague meaning as it refers to any individual that has surpassed the limits of human capabilities. Two people on the top of my mind that fit this rank are Chun-Woo(Nine arts Dragon) and Shi-Woon. People in his rank are also referred to as Demon Kings.

This is in the future, of course, right now both of them are weaker compared to their future counterparts. Shi-Woon is a simple human, and Han Chun-Woo is a Real Master, the monster that he is. But we can't compare Chun-Woo with Shi-Woon, Shi-Woon is simply too monstrous, I don't know if it's because of his absurd talent or the fact that he absorbed a Divine Dan at the start, but the boy simply jumped to the peak in less than a year.

Sadly I don't have the same fortune, I will have to train to reach the top and it will take a lot of time. A decade that I don't have.

Thankfully I have the [Sharingan], I don't know how it interacts with Ki techniques but if what I am thinking is true then I need to go to the Nine dragons High School.

Why would I want to go to the center of trouble? Because the [Sharingan] thrives in conflict. On seeing conflict to be more specific, just by being in that school I can see a bunch of Masters around and maybe copy their skills, I don't know if this will work but I want to at least try it. If copying things doesn't work there is always a way.

There is also one thing I like about Ki. Its an equalizer, I know there is different talents and whatnot, but I am talking about that even the smallest and least physical inclined people could learn Ki and destroy boulders in the future, and while this in no way shape, or form makes everyone equal, it gives the opportunity to everyone.

And while I was thinking about the implication of being in The Breaker universe, making plans, and overall trying to not freak out knowing the monster this work could hold. The breaker most focus on Korea, but I don't doubt there are other Martial Artists all around the globe, I am principally more concerned about older countries, like Japan, Egypt, Europe, China. If Korea already has monsters like the Nine Arts Dragon I can imagine that other countries would have things of the sort. Sadly the main series never explored other parts of the world.

Soon I heard some noise in the house, I am immediately on alert. The news of the world I am coupled with the noises I am hearing, putting me immediately on edge. With my yard up I wait a bit... and was released to find it just my mother... *sigh*, I am becoming paranoid, aren't I? as they say, it ain't paranoia if they are trying to get you.

"Hey, son I am home."(Mom).

"Hi, mom. How was work?"(Jin).

"Everything was normal, Wei's mother called me, she said Wei is going to a private high school."(Mom).

"Yeah, he told me to."(Jin).

"Have you already chosen your high school?"(Mom).

"Yeah, I did."(Jin).

"Let's go eat dinner, then you can tell me the details."(mom).

We soon were with the dinner ready and eating, mother has just told me that one of her coworkers has confused two almost matching names and it caused great confusion, it was quite a funny tale actually.

"So I've chosen the Nine Dragons high School."(Jin).

"Are you certain? Why did you choose that one?"(Mom).

"Yeah, I am certain. And I've chosen it because I felt like it."(Jin).

"Felt like it*cough*"(Mom).

Her speech is interrupted by some kind of fierce cough, she keeps coughing until she drinks a glass of water. after drinking water she lets out a relieving *sigh*.

"Are you okay mom? That was quite the coughing fit there."(Jin).

"I am okay, ti was just some cough nothing to make a fuss about. Now about you highschool..."(Mom).

The talk after that was basically some other question and working out other detail of my highschool education. It was a very boring but necessary thing to do. Soon I was laying on my bed thinking a bit more about this crazy change to my life.

And I was thinking the [Sharingan] was already strangeness enough in my life. Well, at least is not something absolutely crazy or horror-filled world like Berserk, at least here I can become stronger, maybe even a better version of myself.

Ki. Such a mystical concept, so full of possibilities and potential. Maybe one day I can even be like those Dragon Ball characters strong enough to destroy planets, or maybe I can develop some cool illusion skill using my [Sharingan], genjutsu is after all a huge part of how the [Sharingan] works. Or I can become a Demon King reaching the Rank beyond human, or I will simply have a poor talent when it comes to Ki and have to spend decades to reach the master rank. Well, the effort can carry you very far, the Elder Kwon from the Sun-Woo is proof of it, he didn't have some extraordinary talent like the Chun-Woo or Shin-Woo, but he still reached the very top of Murin-In.

And while the new world I discovered is terrifying, it's new adventures just bring an anxious and happy feeling, it is like discovering the [Sharingan] all over again. But I simply can't wait to see everything with my own special eyes.
