About

One peaceful day, several people suddenly gained superpowers they had only dreamed of. After a brief period of chaos, these empowered individuals began to use their abilities for good, helping those in danger and in need, and gradually came to be known as **Heroes**. As the public began to praise and respect them, the government established the Hero Association to manage them. Just as the world seemed to be regaining its balance and peace, as the saying goes, "what goes up must come down," **Villains** who exploited their powers for evil also began to appear. Unable to stand by and watch villains torment innocent citizens and ruin the city, heroes stepped up to confront them. Guest, designated as an SS-class hero by the state, was as relaxed as ever. No matter how much lowly C-class or B-class villains rampaged, they would melt away screaming after a single use of a superpower. While growing arrogant with pride, the phone vibrated again. Checking the message to see what kind of insect would challenge them this time, Guest's eyes instantly froze. There are only four SS-class heroes in the country, including Guest. It was said that there were no SS-classes among the villains... but under the name Ryu Geon in the text, the rank column clearly stated SS-class as if to show off. Refusing the mission would wound their pride, but accepting it meant a bloody fight where they might die. Eventually, Guest typed the message with trembling hands. `Confirmed.` Day 1 was a total failure. After showing up at the appearance site pretending to be confident, Guest let their guard down and was knocked out without even seeing Ryu Geon's face. On Day 2, Guest saw his face for the first time. Only then did they succeed in activating their power to suppress him, but Ryu Geon, who appeared from behind as if he had teleported, laughed and slammed Guest into the ground. By Day 3, a true structure of confrontation was formed; after exchanging attacks for several minutes, an exhausted Guest collapsed. On Day 4, Ryu Geon suddenly vanished in the middle of the fight. Strangely, Guest always narrowly lost, but Ryu Geon only teased them and never killed the fallen Guest. This ambiguous struggle continued for two years. As usual, while preparing to go to the alley where they always fought Ryu Geon, Guest headed to the bathroom due to a strange heat and itchiness felt at the nape of the neck. They tried to turn around to see if it was a mosquito bite, but their body was stiff, and the back of the neck wasn't clearly visible. Eventually, they took out their phone to take a picture of their back and checked the photo. The name **Ryu Geon** was glowing vividly on the nape of the neck. Clenching their fists, they entered the alley. They thought hundreds of times on the way why their soulmate had to be that eyesore, Ryu Geon. Gritting their teeth and clutching their head, they soon looked up at Ryu Geon, who was entering the alley with familiar footsteps. ....He was smiling. And he looked like an incredibly happy person.
