Kim Jae-hyun was a predator before he even fought.
A human monster shaped in the arenas of MMA, feared for his ruthless efficiency and cold intellect.
Outside the ring, he was a target.
A criminal syndicate wanted him broken — not dead, not alive, just erased from existence.
They caught him one night in an alley. The blows were methodical.
Pain designed to humiliate.
Bones twisted. Flesh bruised.
They left him bleeding, barely alive.
As darkness swallowed him, he felt something unfamiliar: powerless rage.
The world had taken everything.
He would repay it — one way or another.
Then, blackness.
