Two days later after the partnership of Phillip and Jakga.

"Hey what happened to Yongsan?"
--Lately I've been hearing about my bullies talk about avoiding Yongsan-gu these couple of days, anyone got any idea about what's going on?

- "Really? Lol, I thought it was some fights but guess it had something to do with money."

- "Actually, I know what's happening."

- "Stop gatekeeping and spill it!"
071474
- "There's a new player roaming those streets, they say he's fast and ruthless."
505788
- "Heh? That's it? I bet it's not someone worthy to be in the rankings."
071999
- "Wait! I know the details! They started calling the guy the Demon of Yongsan, they say he fights in a weird but ruthless style."
071474
- "Yeah! And I heard that they're paid to clear out the cannon fodders."
666666
- "I think this ties into the rumors about Phillip Kim, I bet he's paying the guy to sweep the place for him and his buddies to own."

"Someone this infamous already... They're likely to be added to the rankings soon, don't you think?" a person with blocky glasses muttered to the guy besides him.
"I'm not sure, I haven't been able to get deep into that stuff yet." the guy replied.
The guy with the glasses just sighed and returned his attention to his phone, *Hah... It's not bad but my school year just hasn't been the same without Rowan around.* he though as he scrolled through the website.
As they were talking about the new arrival, someone with a bleached hair— styled in a buzz cut— had passed by and heard their words.
Timothy: *So Yongsan-gu is a no go... I better tell them about this.--*
"Hey, Eugene? Do you think Jake will join the union?" a person asked from besides them.
Eugene thought for a bit, "I think Jake is too good to willingly join the union. The union should be the one inviting him!"
*These losers, they're too shallow to notice how Jake is different from those second rate thugs in the union, he'll never join the union, he doesn't need to.* Timothy just huffed and left the classroom, heading to the back gate to look for Eunchan.

*BAM! BAM! POW! ×2
*SMACK! WHAM!
In a dim alleyway, 20 certain group of people were gathered together, watching 2 guys getting beaten up, receiving hits from who seemed to be the one who's leading things;
It was Hayong Jeong, the head of Manwol Squad 2. "So you're telling me, We! Lost! Our! Money! Again!!" *WHAM! Hayong kicked their stomachs hard while they were groveling on the ground.
The two guys on the ground were groaning and coughing in pain, spewing some blood from their mouths. "Agh... Ugh... We're sorry... *Cough.",
"It was... That guy again... They attacked us, our group who handles Yongsan... After we had finished collecting money for the day, he came out of nowhere and started provoking us... Then we tried to fight him but he instantly rammed us all and beat us to pulp." the other said a shaky voice wheezing in pain as they clutch their stomach and face.
"Dammit all! First we lost territory because of the union and now we're starting to lose hold of Yongsan just because of one bastard?!" he huffed and yelled in anger, his face turning sour.
*If the first squad hears this, I'll get kicked out of Manwol! It's already bad enough that I can't deal with the union running around, beating us up and doing business under our radar.*
Hayong is prideful but he wasn't that dumb enough to start from nowhere, "You guys sure there's nothing going on with him? No back up, no name, no description?" he turns towards the rest of the group.
"Uh... We think that someone is backing him. He somehow knows where we are and what time we finish collecting money." one of them said which made others hum in agreement.
"Yeah! And he also wears rose tinted shades, he has black hair and red eyes. You'll know who fucker when you see him." another one followed along with a few nods.
"Fuck... That's not a lot to go by, but if you guys see him. Fuck him up! I don't care when or where. Just beat the shit out of him until he spews our back money." Hayong announced as he turned to leave, *I'll leave it to them, I have to deal with bigger problems like the union.*

[Jakga's Pov]
*It stinks of smoke and beer, wonder why he would pick this place to meet up at.* I thought to myself that it was weird when thugs appoint meetings at. My flip phone buzzed as it received a message from Phillip, telling me to come inside the gate.
Currently, I've been in this world for the past 6 days, and 2 days ago I had made an offer to the infamous Phillip Kim: I offered him my allegiance to become his 'fighter' in return he'll help me with a few of my problems.
I worked my ass off sweeping the streets of Yongsan all in his name, it sounds lame or stupid but hey, I've already been payed with 500,000 won after two days of beating up thugs and claiming the streets of Yongsan for his gang.
It doesn't matter what happens afterwards, as long as Phillip Kim's pride is fed well, he'll pay well for my services. And today, he had called me to his school to solve my problem.
"Yo! Jakga, buddy old pal! I see you're treating yourself well." he says as he looked at my new second set of clothes (I only have three sets) before coming up to pat my back, motioning my to follow up the stairs to the rooftop.
Once on the top, he handed me a bag and an ID, "Here's what you asked for, a forged student Identification Card, Middle School Uniform and some documents that approve of you transferring into the school. Don't know why you need that, but I guess you want to get a new identity even if it's just temporary."
Smiling, I nodded and threw a duffle bag in front of him, *THUD "Here... A thank you... Gift." I muttered.
Phillip's eyes widened in surprise, when he opened the bag and took a look at the documents, I don't what it is but my guess is that it's something important.
*How'd he even get this?! It's only been a few days and he's already gotten hands on something this profitable?!* he was really surprised. "Where did you get this? Why didn't you keep the money--?"
I cut him off with a glare, "Don't... Ask."
Truthfully, I didn't want know what those documents were about, I just stole it from some manwol punks I bested up l, but I thought it'd be useful for so since I picked it up as well. *Hope it's not something else, he'd probably get mad.*
I thought, yawning openly since I hadn't had proper sleep for recovery lately. "Phillip... I'll be taking a break... I need to recover." pulled up my sleeve showing him my bruises, "I'll find you... When... I'm all good."

[3rd Person's Pov]
Phillip furrowed his brows for a bit, *He's injured, I should let him rest. Don't want him to use him too much, I don't want to build tension early on.* "Sure, I'll leave you to it but expect more commissions from me when you're done fully recovering."
After Kim left him alone in the rooftop, Phillip went ahead and texted someone before pulling out a cigarette to smoke, "I wonder what's his motive in all of this?" he grumbles before puffing a smoke, "Well at least he's useful, unlike Jimmy, he's more straight to the point."
*I don't need to soften up or persuade him at all, just quick point and tell, more better for me.* he then went to social media and check out his own posts— which was just him flexing his money and walking around Yongsan like he owned the place.
There was even a post of him stomping on some lower Manwol members who were knocked out, he read the comments.
Phillip: *Look at all these losers trying to kiss my ass for a piece of money... Though, Jakga may be useful like a bull on my command... Even if he's in good terms with me for now, one day that danger will be aimed at me if I fumble... I just don't know when.*
He just sighed and spat off the rooftop, "Better give these documents to Donald, maybe he'll even praise me."
Meanwhile, Kim was heading back to his new place which is a cheap single room apartment, the only downside is that the toilets are in a shared restroom downstairs.
Once inside his own place, Kim set down the bag and checked his ID and documents— "Young-Jae Kim, Do-Shin Middle School students-3rd year... Orphaned, No relatives. Adress: Yongsan-gu Guja Apartment Complex. Age: 15."
"Huh... It really wasn't that hard." He mumbles, his eyes gazed at the clock, "2:00 pm", his thoughts were deeply messed up on what he should do from now onwards.
Kim: *It's been ages since I've read the Manhwa, I'm not even sure if I remember all of it... It all feels distant, I can still maybe recall bits from the final arc of the story but the earlier parts? I'll have some trouble navigating through that.*
He plops down onto the mattress laid down on the floor of the room, "Wait... I feel like I'm forgetting something... Hmm... Wait what was in Doshin again?"
"I think there was a gang and some two... Wait, isn't that where the Mok-ha goes to? Ah shit!" he cursed, sitting up quickly in realization.

[Doshin middle school]
Seongjin Cheon and his gang of 12 followers, hung out and smoked underneath an oak tree at the back gate of the school. He was just taking a drag of smoke when he saw two people walk towards them, "Who's That?" he asked, eyeing the newcomers;
Donghae Baek (Long hair, big smile.)
Seongmok Han (Buff guy, Grumpy face.)
*SLAM! POW! ×2
Then in a quick exchange of looks, the fight started with the Duo moved forward together and simultaneously threw kicks and punches, hitting face and stomachs.
*WHACK! BAM, POW! ×6
The two bulldozed through everyone blocking their way, leaving them rolling in pain before picking on Seongjin, and that's how a one sided beating occurred.
*SLAM! WHAM! ×10
The two did not even gave him a chance to fall back or strike, they just assaulted him over and over with attacks all aimed in the face, only stopping when Seongjin passed out unconscious.
"Hahaha! Look at this, he didn't even stood a chance! Isn't that right Seongmok?" Dongha laughed as he stomp his foot on Seongjin's face. *WHAM
Seongmok only grunts and huffed in response as he sat down intimidating the rest who just kneel and coward in pain and fear as Dongha's laughter continues.
