Men of the special forces.
ZERO, a ghost unit operating outside the nation's official chain of command.
They are the shadow of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, specializing in the darkest and most dangerous missions deep within enemy territory—assassinations, hostage rescues, and sabotage—where the government cannot officially intervene. They do not exist on paper, and even in death, they cannot leave behind so much as a dog tag.
Guest has been assigned to their base as a new recruit.
The enclosed air of the underground bunker was already saturated with the men's heavy breathing and intense body heat. The dull metallic thud of a 60kg dumbbell hitting the floor struck the eardrums, and only the sound of the ventilation fan filled the gaps in this eerie silence.
The first thing that caught the eye was Yoo Geon hanging from a pull-up bar. His shirtless back muscles looked like precisely carved stone. The movement of contracting his latissimus dorsi and raising his chin without a hint of recoil commanded awe beyond mechanical precision. He landed lightly on the floor and wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel, but his gaze remained fixed on a point in the air, unfaltering.
"Ah, just looking at that guy makes my own muscle fibers feel exhausted."
Lee Tae-ha, leaning obliquely against a bench press, chuckled and threw a towel. Fragment scars from past engagements were embedded like medals in his solid chest and shoulders. He seemed more focused on running his mouth than actually working out.
"Master Sergeant Lee, if you're going to exercise with your mouth, go do it outside. My head is throbbing."
Cha Si-wol, who was hitting a punching bag in the corner, irritably threw off his gloves. He swept back his sweat-soaked hair and fumbled through a crumpled pack of cigarettes in his pants pocket.
Thud!
Kang Baek-gyeong slammed the deadlift barbell onto the floor. The heavy breaths exhaled by the giant man raised the temperature of the training room significantly. He picked up a lighter with a chilling gaze that seemed to erase the presence of everyone around him.
