2 Sacred Ground and Shin's Identity

Shin silently listened to their discussion. His mind was constantly processing all the information he was receiving from them.

"No matter what, if you manage to inherit even one of the abilities from the Sacred Ground, your children can be born with such ability. Iron Fist Bandit's father was a person who went to the Sacred Ground but returned without exploring deep."

"But, even so, his son managed to acquire a strong body from birth. Tch! If it wasn't for that, how could he run wild in our village?"

"Shh! Did you forget what happened to Shin?"

When he said that, the man turned his eyes to Shin who didn't seem to have reacted to his words. He deeply sighed and everyone stopped talking.

Shin was surprised that the person who beat him near death was a son of a man who once entered this so-called Sacred Ground.

He got curious about it. He turned around and stared at the girl in front of him and asked.

"Can you tell me more about the Sacred Ground?"

"Y-y-you don't plan to go there, do you? Don't foolishly throw your life away." This girl instantly panicked as she tried to scold him for his question.

"Hina, Shin is only asking about the Sacred Ground. I don't think he has the strength to go there." Another voice rang from afar. It was a middle-aged man who was drinking beer.

He looked a bit drunk as well.

Hearing his words, another man walked next to Shin and sat down.

"Shin, you are still young. Don't think about Sacred Ground. It is a place that takes thousands of lives in just a few months. Thousands and thousands of people try but less than a hundred survive."

"There might be power and riches inside the Sacred Ground, but you don't need to put your life on the line for those."

At the same time, Hina also nodded her head.

"Shin, don't think about Sacred Ground. I know you are dissatisfied for not having the power to fight against Iron Fist Bandit but not everyone is lucky as his father."

"Even with his luck, he had no choice but to run away. So, don't even think about it."

Shin was stunned by the information they revealed but he was even more surprised by their care.

He didn't inherit the memories of this person so seeing their attitude make his heart warm. Even in his previous life, after his accident, he spent the rest of his life alone.

Even if he had family, they didn't have the time to care about him. The only time he actually got the opportunity to get closer to them was during dinner or lunch.

Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, Shin heard the loud footstep which made him raise his head. He saw fear and guilt in Hina's eyes. She wasn't looking at him but at the door.

Shin turned his head at saw a group of six people walking inside the bar. He didn't recognize them but he could quickly think of their identity.

But just when he was thinking about their identity, he heard a strange noise in his head.

When these sudden voices rang inside his head, Shin remained motionless and stunned.

"Oh! This bastard has already recovered. Boss, I told you he would be a good punching bag."

"Tch! Look at his dumbfounded expression. I believe he doesn't even have the courage to speak in front of you now."

"Hey brat, how did you recover so quickly?"

A middle-aged man wearing a thin grey coat walked in front of Shin and spoke with a hoarse voice. He knew the strength of his body very well.

It would be impossible to recover in just two days. But now, not only Shin had recovered completely but he also came out of his house.

Unfortunately, Shin was so overwhelmed by the existence of that voice inside his head that he completely forgot to react.

He subconsciously answered "Yes"

"Brat, did you not hear what I just said? What do you mean by yes? Are you taunting my strength?" The middle-aged man got furious at his absent-minded expression.

He raised his fist with the intention to punch Shin. But, Hina quickly came from behind and spoke.

"Master Iron Fist, he is marveled by your strength. He doesn't even know how to face you and regrets his previous actions. So, he doesn't know how to talk to you. After all, you are very strong."

Iron Fist listening to Hina's praise felt pleased. But, when he looked at Shin, his anger once again burst out.

Not only this brat threatened him but also went against him, sparking the idea of going against his Bandit Group. Fortunately, he managed to beat this brat before anyone could get such an idea.

"Humph! You two, throw this brat outside. And you, don't let this bastard enter your bar or else."

When he said that, his tone was full of threat especially when he glanced at Hina. If she didn't follow his order, he would make her life difficult.

But, this time, Shin wasn't absentminded. Because the moment when download started, he quickly realized that he was still in the bar and suppressed the happiness of obtaining the 'Super Download System'.

Instead, he quietly analyzed Iron Fist's words. Originally, he thought Iron Fist wouldn't care about him as long as he doesn't make any move but he didn't expect Iron Fist to be so ruthless.

After all, if he gets out of two meters range, he wouldn't be able to download Iron Body. Although he didn't know what kind of benefit this Iron Body could bring him, he was sure that he would get stronger after getting this.

After all, according to the people around him, Iron Body was the sole reason why Iron Fist Bandit was stronger than others.

So, Shin had no intention of leaving his side. Instead, he quickly changed his expression and said.

"Master Iron Fist, I am really sorry for my previous behavior. In fact, after you beat me, I realized just how strong you are. And, I have been thinking about this after that time."

"I really hope to join you and work under you."

His expression was quite pitiful and his words sparked surprise in everyone's heart.

Although they knew that Shin was weak, he absolutely wasn't a person who would simply lower his head in front of others.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be the Shin they know. So, as soon as he said that, he suddenly regretted it. He could feel the strange gaze from everyone.

Lying in bed for years, he has learned how to read others' emotions. He knew that they almost didn't believe his words. He had seen the emotions of his previous family and knew just how dark their heart was.

So, it wasn't hard for him to read the disappointment and disbelief in their expressions. Suddenly, he began to worry and the next moment, his worries came true.

"Tch! Brat, do you think I don't know what you are planning? You want to get into my side so that you can attack me when I let down my guard. Don't think I don't know your reputation in this village."

"Shin Tyro, a boy who was raised in an orphanage. He lived in that orphanage for ten years and developed a good relationship with it. But after ten years, he was found to be the only child of the Tyro Family."

"The Great Tyro Family tried to get you back to the family unfortunately you rejected them. No one knows the reason why but everyone believes that you are extremely prideful and unwilling to be raised as a young master of a wealthy family."

"Seeing that you don't want to return, your family forced this village to kick you out. Still unwilling to return, you stubbornly build a house in a forest and started living there from the age of ten."

"A person like you would never join under me unless your plan is to kill me."

Suddenly, Iron Fist clenched his fist and his eyes released some murderous intent. He stared at Shin as he continued.

"Although killing you would make me the enemy of the Tyro Family, it doesn't matter if I beat you to death."

Hearing his words, Shin was extremely shocked. He didn't expect him and Shin of this body to have two different personalities.

He was cautious, low profile, and a planner. But, this Shin was determined, prideful, and hot-headed.

Now, he was extremely glad that he didn't receive the memories of this body. But, he didn't know that the personality of this had already started to affect him.
