“Whoa… … .”

Right after you have been seen by your doctor.

Hwang Ji-woon went up to the roof of the hospital and sat down on a random bench. He must have been sitting like that for a while, and there was something that caught his eye.

‘Looks like this is a smoking area.’

An ashtray right in front of you. It is an object so large that it feels strange to have just discovered it.

… Should I smoke a cigarette?

Hwang Ji-woon swallowed a saliva at the sudden strong urge to smoke. It’s already been over ten years since I quit smoking, but I still can’t miss a sip of a cigarette so much when I get confused like this.

‘Calm down, Hwang Ji-un.’

However, he soon shook his head vigorously from side to side as if urging himself.

Cigarettes are poison for those who live on their voices.

Even if I put all my energy into physical condition management and rehabilitation treatment, I thought of smoking when it was not enough.

Instead of thinking about a cigarette he couldn’t smoke, he moved to another bench and took out his smartphone and started calling somewhere.

Maybe it beeped a couple of times.

[Oh, Jiwoon. What’s up?]

“PD Choi.”

The caller is none other than PD Choi, who is in charge of producing and general planner of this concert, ‘Wheel of Twilight’. He asked Hwang Ji-woon indirectly, as if he was already curious.

[Did you go to the hospital well?]

“Yes. Well, I finished the treatment and came out.”

[What did the doctor say? Do you think it will be okay?]

Expectations naturally came out in PD Choi’s voice.

So, Hwang Ji-woon opened his mouth, but could hardly speak. Because I had nothing to say except that I couldn’t live up to his expectations.

[…] That’s right.]

Then, as if that was enough of an answer, PD Choi spoke first in a low voice. It was a voice with a hint of sadness.

[It’s hard to quickly heal a broken thing, right?]

“… It seems that it is attached roughly, but since the regeneration is slow, it seems that the cast must be worn for a while. Even if the cast is removed, vigorous activities are difficult.”

If the other side throws luck first, at least some words come out. At Hwang Ji-woon’s words, PD Choi said in a trembling voice.

[Mmm… When you get older, it’s a bit difficult to attach bones.]

“Iknow, right. In the old days, we got attached quickly.”

Conversation in a light, joking tone.

One situation is a situation, such a conversation can’t go on for a long time. silence for a while. The one who broke the silence first was PD Choi over the receiver.

[Jiwoon-ah, I’ll be waiting for you, so focus on rehabilitation for now.]

“… Are you waiting?”

[okay. If you do something, you can even use a wheelchair, what.]

“Are you kidding?”

[I’m not joking.]

PD Choi said in a voice that was half playful and the other half serious.

[I started planning this performance after seeing you alone, but can the main character be left out? And you said you would go all the way to Broadway with this career.]

‘Wheel of Twilight’ is one of the representative Broadway musicals. The main character in the work, Rohan, is Asian, so it is also a musical in which Asian actors have played the lead role for generations.

It is safe to say that among the famous Broadway productions, it is virtually the only stage where an Asian can stand as the lead.

Therefore, it is a very symbolic role in the Asian musical industry, but so far, only Japanese and Hong Kong actors have played the role of Lohan.

Therefore, Hwang Ji-woon had long dreamed of being the first Korean to win the role.

And it is open information that most people in the industry know that Lohan’s role in the original team will be replaced in the near future.

The reason why the ‘Twilight Wheel’ performance was planned this time was to attract ticket power through Hwang Ji-woon’s popularity, but there was also a timing factor like this.

Although it’s a Korean adaptation version, there was bound to be a difference between the one I’ve taken on the role recently and the one I didn’t.

[So, wait and see. It may be a bit tight, but… Aren’t you the one who has played the role of Rohan the most in Korea? things will work out.]

So, PD Choi was well aware of how important this performance was to Hwang Ji-woon. He said so in a light tone, as if it was not a big deal.

“… Brother, you don’t have to do that.”

However, Hwang Ji-woon knows very well that it is not something that can be easily overlooked. If it’s the original situation, you should seriously consider changing the cast.

Maybe it was because of his emotions, he called him by the more familiar title of hyung instead of PD.

[done. it’s not because of you I also want to see a Korean lead in a Broadway original team.]

“… Then, if you fail to meet the schedule and ruin the performance, tell me how to look at hyung’s face.”

[So, if you want to see hyung’s face in the future, try harder on your rehabilitation, son. And even if we can’t meet the schedule, we have all the ways to deal with it. Who cares about whom.]

Understand?

After saying that, PD Choi said he had work and hung up the phone. Hwang Ji-woon looked down at the screen of his smartphone where the call was disconnected, and involuntarily let out a laugh.

“Oh yeah… I am grateful for just the words.”

If you do this far, it’s right to try something, but how can the body’s recovery speed be a part that you can do at will?

He puts his smartphone in his pocket with a bitter smile on his lips… While trying to think of something, I turned on the screen again.

‘… Did you say Cheonma Massage?’

A massage parlour, whom I had been close with before, was called by actor Cho Chan-hyeok and even recommended it to me.

Thinking back on it later, I was a little squeamish, but at the time, as if I was possessed by a drug dealer, I even bought beef for dinner and conceded my reservation.

‘No matter how I think about it, it feels like false advertising… … .’

The reservation is made two days later.

I still couldn’t believe everything Cho Chan-hyeok said, but I feel like I want to grab at least a straw, maybe because the situation is the situation.

He carefully wrote down the appointments for Cheonma Massage on the main schedule, where only important things were written down.

“Whoa… … .”

Midnight in the mountains where even the sound of insects can be heard loudly.

There, Kang Tae-han carefully exhaled the breath he had been inhaling for a long time. The exhalation continued for a long time as if all the air inside was being expelled.

After I caught my breath like that.

When Kang Tae-han carefully raised his hand and opened his closed eyes, blue energy began to swirl in the form of smoke in his palm.

The shimmering smoke slowly took on a clear light.

It soon takes the form of water droplets that slither like a liquid.

Before long, it became a very small marble that hardened firmly.

“Hmm… … .”

A small bead that floats on the palm of your hand and emits a brilliant light. Kang Tae-han opened one eye that was closed and checked the condition of the marble.

“… Is it this much?”

The beads that are additionally formed in that state.

Unlike the first, where the process was slow, as shown in slow motion, the next marble formation was much faster.

A total of three beads were made like that.

Kang Tae-han nodded lightly with a calm smile on his lips and squeezed his palm. Soon, when I opened my palms again, the orbs mysteriously emitting light had disappeared.

“Not bad.”

Strong Qi (罡气), which typified the internal air to the visual form. Then, Kang Hwan (罡丸) was created in the form of a ball by compressing the strong energy again.

Since the realm itself is an area of enlightenment, the technology itself is remembered as it was in the Moorim days, but it was not used properly due to lack of internal skills.

But now, even Kang Hwan can be made without too much difficulty. Of course, compared to the Moorim era, its size and destructive power are insignificant, but considering the first time it returned to modern times, it could be said to be a great development.

‘It’s been less than a year yet… … .’

In addition, considering the period and the modern background where the concept of energy itself is unfamiliar, wouldn’t it be an even faster achievement?

“At least I won’t get hit and die on the road.”

It is only possible at a fairly high level to compress strong energy into a strong form. Compared to that, it is not so difficult to do self-defense, which is just wearing a strong weapon.

If this is enough, it can be said that he has reached the level of ‘the level of strength to protect himself’, which he vaguely aimed for when he first fell here.

Kang Tae-han nodded with a satisfied expression, and put more dry firewood into the bonfire that was slowly dying out.

‘In a way… It might have been nice to go to Moorim.’

If he had lived as a modern Kang Tae-han, would he have been able to achieve such success as a masseuse?

It wasn’t.

It is not simply about the high level of martial arts and the ability to handle inner power.

An immature period overflowing with impatience that everyone has no choice but to go through at least once when they were young, and countless trials and errors that resulted from it.

Kang Tae-han had already gone through that period in Moorim, and gained realizations that could only be gained after spending many years. That’s why I was able to avoid repeating the same mistakes here.

Thanks to that, I was able to meet good people.

Thanks to that, I was able to change a lot of things.

‘I also fixed my father’s shoulder.’

Kang Tae-han smiled and put the last piece of firewood into the campfire.

The look of my father who was working without a break for a long time to take a breath. But even in the midst of that, a faint smile continued to hang on his father’s lips.

In a way, it was a trivial part, but that trivial part was really satisfying to Kang Tae-han.

“… Not a bad feeling.”

Life as a Heavenly demon in Moorim.

Even if you achieve what you want, there are not many happy moments. Even though he achieved revenge and ascended to the position of the Heavenly Demon, his path was a thorny path.

one now… It’s not bad.

Kang Tae-han pulled up a strong qi on the tip of his finger for a moment, and then created a small bead with it.

When he was in Moorim, Kang Tae-han’s strength was as dark as pitch-black ink.

Build up a lot of strength with the great law of absorption, and learn any martial arts if you can become strong. Even so, the life in Moorim has endured dozens of deaths and several times of coin intoxication.

In a way, it was only natural that Kang Tae-han’s strength was black and dark.

But now it’s different.

A transparent bead emitting a brilliant light from the fingertips.

If anyone who knew me during the Moorim days could see it, it was so completely opposite that it would be impossible to think of it as the same person.

A luxury hotel located in Mumbai, India.

Among them, it can be said to be the most luxurious, in a large party hall that is wider than any sports stadium.

“To all of you who have gathered to celebrate my birthday today, thank you very much! ha ha ha!”

It was a long noisy and grandiose birthday party.

The owner of the party is none other than Marchesi.

“Then everyone, Cheers!”

“Cheer Airs!”

When he shouted a toast for the opening ceremony from the podium, everyone in the party raised their glasses and shouted a toast. The atmosphere of the people was also very high, perhaps because the host’s tension was high.

“Ahaha! Marchesi! Congratulations on turning one year older!”

“Congratulations! Mr Marchesi!”

“ha ha ha! Thank you everyone!”

Greetings that come and go without rest. Then, it might be a little tiring, but Marchesi continued to be greeted with higher tension than at the beginning.

“Wow… It’s great to have real stamina.”

Looking at him from a distance, a man said in an admiring voice. Then, the person sipping champagne next to him nodded.

“Anyway, today is an important occasion from a business point of view. Mr. Marchesi should also raise the tension.”

From the outside, it looks like an overly splendid birthday party, but the faces gathered here are all major figures in India.

There are politicians, there are entrepreneurs, there are local landowners… … .

In other words, it is a very important place from a business point of view. We gathered here to celebrate Marchesi’s birthday, but we can’t just see it as a private event.

However, the fact that he was able to attract so many people just for the name of his birthday was proof of Marchesi’s influence and reputation.

“Whatever… For me, this atmosphere itself is a bit dizzy.”

However, some people may like a high-tension party like this, but sometimes there are people who want to be quiet. The man couldn’t hide his tired expression and swept his forehead and said insinuatingly.

“Then shall we sit down and share the rest of the story?”

“Not bad.”

The party hall was large and luxurious, but when you walk out to the side, you see corridors connected to other rooms.

A space where you can relax after enjoying a party or have a relatively quiet chat. This kind of consideration could be said to be the basic of the basics of a great party.

“… Well?”

When I moved and sat down at the tea table.

Something caught the man’s eyes.

A chair as large as the cockpit of a spaceship.

It was none other than The Meister, a new body care product and a topical product that is creating a massage chair craze in Korea.
