More than 50 years ago. A cataclysm that completely destroyed the peaceful world took place.
It started with a "great disappearance" in which one-third of the world's human race evaporates, and it happened during lunch time when nobody expected it.
The person holding a spoon in the restaurant became dust and scattered. On the road, a driver who was driving evaporated in smoke, causing a series of collisions. A friend who was happily exchanging words right next to each other disappeared leaving only their clothes behind.
Society was forced to fall into extreme chaos.
World emergency response has been put to the test. Even the head of state went missing.
But it was only a splendid start. By the time the global community was reeling from the Great Depression and paralysis of national functions, unidentified monsters had emerged from all over the world and massacred people.
The human race had to go to war with the monsters. Numerous small countries have been torn apart.
A miracle occurred when mankind was driven to the edge of a cliff. It was the emergence of supernatural powers. Crumpling steel with bare hands. Transforming skin into diamond alloy steel. Manipulating natural phenomena such as water, fire, wind, etc. They saved other people by using what is often called "magic."
They opened up a new force. It was called the Opener. The opener used crazy powers to repel and annihilate the monsters.
Thanks to their struggle, mankind was able to reclaim most of its land. And what led mankind to victory in the Great War with the great creatures. They were "invited heroes."
And one of them was standing in front of Lee Jin-Seong.
The silent wise man. One day, the first hero disappeared from the world without warning.
There were countless rumors about his disappearance.
Either he was murdered by the undead demon and his authority. He killed himself in sorrow for losing all his disciples, and so on.….
The wise man was alive, even though he looked shabby.
Anyway, the great person who was with Lee Jin-Seong's teacher and Lee Yeo-jin's grandfather in the "Hero Squad" was the silent wise man. Lee Jin-Seong asked the silent wise man if he was a regressor with a smile on his face.
"…Well, but how can you see through things when you have lost both your eyes?”
Lee Jin-Seong had a question since he first met the wise man. Even though he lost his eyes, the wise man was using "See-through abilities."
"Whoa, don't change the subject. You haven't met your teacher yet, have you?” "Why do you think so?” "Hahaha, there's a difference between what you think of your teacher and what I know about her.” "…People who can See through won't be able to know about that though?”
The wise man laughed at the question.
"That's right…… that's what everyone thinks…….”
The wise man looked at Lee Jin-Seong with a satisfied face again with the words.
"If it weren’t for my See though abilities, I would have already died.” “…….”
Lee Jin-Seong felt a strange sense of incompatibility. Now the wise man's words sounded as if he had realized a new vocation.
'…...can you make sense of this after you're 20 years old?’
Then, the wise man of silence revealed what he had, as if he had read the true question.
"Technically, 'See Through' has evolved.”
And he smiled broadly when he saw Lee Jin-Seong.
"Is that……so?"
Whoo...
The wise man threw a deep sigh and butt on the floor and rummaged in his arms. But there were no cigarettes left.
He looked at Lee Jin-Seong. It seemed good to move to a quieter place at this time.
"……Let's go buy cigarettes first?"
The old man smiled broadly at Jin-Seong's suggestion.
A little later. The two sat opposite each other on a quiet bench with a table. The wise man said with a sigh of smoke.
"…What can you sacrifice to protect what is precious?"
To that question, Lee Jin-Seong thought. But it wasn't long.
"Life."
The wise man giggled at his answer.
"Hahaha, It’s nice to be young.… For me, it was this.”
The wise man pointed at his eyes.
"My two eyes."
His clear eyes looked at Lee Jin-Seong.
Lee Jin-Seong wondered what that meant. It was because he had never heard that the wise man had lost both eyes. In addition, 'See Through' was a dexterity to lose all his eyes.
"You sacrificed your eyes?” "I devoted my eyes to save my disciples...….”
At that, Lee Jin-Seong had no choice but to ask again.
"…with all due respect, the disciples were famous during the dungeon attack."
The old man spoke quietly at the words.
"…You know the ‘Un-dead’, don't you?” "That's true…….”
The Un-dead. The people who gave up being human and decided to become the demon were called the Un-dead. Therefore, they are the ones who are trying to destroy human society by becoming the last authority of the king. They were literally social cancer beings, just like humans on the surface.
"I gave up my eyes to save my disciples, but I was killed by the Un-dead.” "Well…."
Lee Jin-Seong replied with a serious look.
"I can't believe it. How the hero's disciples could be killed by the Un-dead."
The heroes who defeated the first king of the Great War were rightly praised by the world. As well as overwhelming rewards, they have been guarded strictly by the hero's deference, and so have the hero's associates.
At that moment, Lee Jin-Seong reached an ominous conclusion.
"No way…?"
The wise man smiled bitterly between Lee Jin-Seong's distorted eyes.
"…I've been under surveillance, unlike other heroes. Do you understand why?" “…….”
The power of the Silent Wise Man. 'See Through'.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was because of this "See Through" that he was able to defeat the seventh demon. It was 'See Through' who drew not only his own vision but also all the scenes at the scene in a "simulation" in his head accurately from various angles. What's even more surprising was the ability to "share" the scene that the Silent Wise man was seeing with Squad members.
In other words, all team members of the squad could freely see and hear the vast space. Therefore, in the first Great War, the heroes of Great Britain had never been defeated by surprise, traps, or tactics.
"……After the first war ended in victory for mankind, I knew things I shouldn't have known.”
'See Through' gives me a sense of the surrounding situation. It let me hear things that you can't hear normally. It allows me to see a scene that you can't see with your two eyes. Therefore, those who planned the insidious plan had no choice but to stay away from the silent wise man who had the See-Through ability.
After the war ended, an invisible war broke out between humans.
The wise man, of course, was not involved in any political battle.
However, the silent wise man, who was an isolated worker, was removed from power by those who feared the 'See Through' ability. The disciples who had inherited the vocation had been killed.
"…was it driven by the Un-dead?” "Well, sort of."
The Silent wise man was literally a hero who saved the world. The fact that such a hero can be intimidated into giving up his eyes and killing his disciples. It was impossible for ordinary power. Therefore, the deceased who threatened the wise man was a powerful man. In Jin-Seong's head, images of those in power who had been identified as Un-dead passed by.
"Who was it?" “…….”
At the question, the wise man only smoked with blank eyes.
"…I can't tell you that…….” "You don't have to worry. I'm not going to reveal it anywhere."
So Lee Jin-Seong first opened up information about the deceased he knew.
"Is the chairman of Hwanin Military Academy involved?"
The wise man stared at Lee Jin-Seong at his outspoken criticism.
"…...Regression is very refreshing."
Many things happen to Hwanin Military Academy where Lee Jin-Seong is trying to enter. And behind most of the incidents was the chairman of the Military Academy. However, the chairman was later punished by the regressor Yushin.
Ssss…….
The wise man quickly burned the cigarette he had been smoking with flames and then straightened himself.
"Yes, the chairman of the academy is Un-dead. He’s a pretty high-ranking member, too. After losing my 'See Through', I knew he was Un-dead.”
The chairman of the Hwanin Military Academy He was the chairman of the academy and a yardstick who stretched his feet to business, politics, and the media. And that means, in all three places, there are dead people.
Lee Jin-Seong did not miss the timing.
"If I kill him, will I be able to awaken my ability?” "Hahahahaha……!”
The wise man laughed and laughed at Lee Jin-Seong's question, and soon spoke heavily.
"Well, there are some things that I want to help you with but I just can’t.” "…Is it because of the evolution?”
And the wise man explained.
He was frustrated after losing his eyes. The wise man is said to have flashed in the dark.
The light was occasionally visible to the wise man who lost both eyes. The wise man, who lost his eyes, reportedly had nothing else to do except focus on the light. And one day he focused in on that light for dozens of days. For a moment, the light devoured him, and the world began to look like when he used See Through with his eyes intact. But that wasn't the only thing that happened.
The wise man can now see through the thoughts of those around him.
The evolved 'See Through' was named as follows.
"It was the opening of the 'Deep vision' beyond the 'See Through'."
Deep vision. Beyond the opponent's movements, it was the highest insight ability to read the opponent's thoughts. That means, in the end, that if we develop the capabilities of 'See Through', we can open our minds.
And this is what the world called the evolution of this enlightenment.
"It's a super awakening."
In other words, his ability which was class B surpassed its growth limit rating and became class A and S, calling it a transcendental awakening. The wise man frowned.
"Haha, I don't want to use such an embarrassing expression." Lee Jin-Seong asked the wise man again.
"Then, you will never learn ‘See Through’ again?”
The wise man grinned bitterly at the words and bit the cigarette.
"Without my disciples...…it's impossible…….”
The wise man wanted to teach the regress before him, but it was impossible under the circumstances.
"…I can’t share what I’ve seen through my ‘Deep vision’. So I can’t pass this on to you.” "Are you sure?" "I'm sorry...… It would’ve been helpful, but I can’t do anything for you."
The old man was genuinely sorry. As explained earlier, there was no way to learn, as the old man's 'See Through' was transcendent in his mind.
Lee Jin-Seong nodded at his answer.
'There's nothing more I can gain from here.’
However, it was well known that the silent wise man was still alive. So Lee Jin-Seong wanted the wise man to live long.
"Wise man, in the near future, a disciple of yours will come back alive." "…what?"
The wise man looked up at him in surprise.
"……but he is not really your disciple. He nothing more than a monster sent to kill you, so you have to kill him the moment you meet him." “…….”
Lee Jin-Seong wanted the wise man to survive. The wise man read something that Lee Jin-Seong did not say out loud.
"Haha, those bad guys...…how can they turn a dead kid into...….” "So…… you have to survive. To avenge the dead...… I really want you to survive and help me."
Looking at Lee Jin-Seong, who was about to leave, the wise man said blankly.
"Actually…… a man like you came a few months ago."
At that remark, Lee Jin-Seong stopped.
‘There's another one besides me.…?’
Jin-Seong was pictured with a man's face with a question that came to mind in an instant. There was only one. It's Yushin.
"…Yushin was here?” "Yeah, he knew a lot about the future.”
'…...That’s why the wise man wasn't surprised to see me.'
The wise man had already met the regressor. Yushin said he did not hide the fact that he was a regressor.
Jin-Seong nodded at the regressionist's movement.
'As expected, if you're back, you should learn 'See Through' first.’
There's nothing more useful than this in the fight ahead. But Yushin had already returned empty-handed.
"…Well, excuse me." "I'm sorry I couldn't help you." "No, as long as you're alive, we'll...….”
It was then.
Slipping...
A tarot card suddenly popped up in front of Lee Jin-Seong's eyes.
What about this?
It was a strange card again. The picture of the card shows the queen in a colorful black dress sitting on the throne, shedding black tears. In the large, colorful crown worn by the queen in the painting, pentagonal stars were spread out like a halo.
Queen of Pentacles.
Lee Jin-Seong immediately took the card. Then the beautiful painting disappeared and the letters came to mind.
+ Name: Queen of Pentacles. Class: Demi-Major Arcana Description: Replicate and archive this functionality from the desired target. Number of functions currently available for storage: 0/1 +
Lee Jin-Seong looked at the new card wonderfully.
'Why all of a sudden...…?’
Then the picture of the sun card was erased and black types came to mind.
Searching the ability of the Queen of the pentagon stars.
"Is this…?"
Likewise, the wise man sensed an abnormality and rose from his seat.
Whoosh!
Soon after, a series of system windows appeared in front of Lee Jin-Seong.
The Queen of the pentagon stars has completed her search. [Effects of Silence: See Through(Activation. deactivation), Deep Vision(legendary), Prominence (S), Battle Survival (A) and 8 others] [Replicable to current user See Through(Activation)]
Lee Jin-Seong looked at the silent wise man. Then he gave an easy-going smile.
"I think I can learn this."

"I think I can learn this."
