Kyung Joo's eyes slowly opened, and he found himself in a strange, sterile environment. He was lying on a bed, surrounded by unfamiliar machines and equipment. A woman sat beside him, her head resting on the bed, her eyes closed. She was dressed in modern clothes, and Kyung Joo's eyes widened as he took in the sight of her exposed knees. In his village, such attire would be considered scandalous.
As he gazed at her, he noticed her striking features. Her skin was fair, and her hair was a rich, dark brown. But it was her eyes that caught his attention. They were an piercing green, like the first leaves of spring. Kyung Joo felt a strange sense of calm wash over him as he looked into her eyes, even though they were closed.
The woman stirred, and Kyung Joo quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. He heard the sound of her phone ringing, and she quickly got up to answer it. "I have to go," she said, her voice husky and urgent. She rushed out of the room, leaving Kyung Joo alone.
As soon as she was gone, Kyung Joo opened his eyes and said, "Menu." A holographic interface appeared before him, displaying his information. He saw his name, age, and attributes, all measured in points. His Strength was 15pt, Speed was 200pt, Agility was 165pt, and Intelligence was 8pt. There was a warning message below his attributes, cautioning him against using his speed and agility to their full potential.
Kyung Joo's curiosity got the better of him, and he navigated to the skills section. He saw Running, Swimming, Jumping, Flight, and Time-travel listed, with a note that time-travel came with a cost. He felt a surge of excitement as he realized the extent of his abilities.
"Did I just time-travel?" Kyung Joo asked the staff, but there was no response. He thought about it for a moment, and then shrugged. He had more pressing concerns, like getting back to his village.
Kyung Joo thought about returning to his village, and he started to lift himself off the bed. He focused his energy, and his body began to glow with a soft, blue light. He felt himself becoming one with the staff's power, and he knew he was ready to travel.
As he lifted off the ground, the woman rushed back into the room, her eyes wide with surprise. She saw Kyung Joo elevated off the ground, and her expression changed from concern to shock. "What...what are you doing?" she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
