Anas woke up to the faint morning light seeping through the window curtains. He opened his eyes quietly, contemplating the white ceiling for a moment. The morning was calm, far from yesterday's chaos and surprises. He turned to his side and saw Ji-won still asleep, lost in deep slumber after a long night of shocks and surprises.
Anas smiled.
Anas: (Gently shaking her shoulder) "Ji-won... wake up."
Ji-won: (Muttering in her sleep) "Just five more minutes..."
Anas: "Five minutes have passed about ten times now."
Ji-won: (Tossing in bed) "I can't hear you... I'm asleep..."
Anas: (Laughing) "Come on, we have a long day ahead."
Ji-won: (Opening her left eye with difficulty) "Anas... are you real? Or was yesterday just a dream?"
Anas: "Very real."
Ji-won: (Sitting up suddenly) "So you really destroyed a mountain?!"
Anas: "With my finger."
Ji-won: (Rubbing her eyes) "And you became a millionaire?"
Anas: "A billionaire."
Ji-won: (Screaming with joy) "Aaaah! Yes! This is real!"
She jumped out of bed and started dancing spontaneously, before remembering she was still in her pajamas.
Ji-won: (Laughing) "Sorry... I'm a little excited."
Anas: "I can see that."
At that moment, they heard small footsteps coming from the small bed.
Nayun: (Mumbling half-asleep) "Mommy... why are you screaming?"
Ji-won: (Turning to her) "Nothing, sweetheart. Go back to sleep."
Nayun: (Opening her eyes fully) "But the sun is up! It's time for kindergarten!"
Nayun jumped out of bed and ran toward her father.
Nayun: (Hugging him) "Good morning, Dad!"
Anas: (Patting her head) "Good morning, Nayun."
Nayun: (Looking at him) "Dad, are we going out today?"
Anas: "Yes. I'll take you to kindergarten."
Nayun: (Jumping with joy) "Yes! Yes! My friends will see me with my handsome dad!"
Ji-won: (Laughing) "You love showing off your dad, don't you?"
Nayun: "Of course! Dad is so handsome now!"
Nayun went to the bathroom to wash her face, while Anas sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at Ji-won, who was standing in the middle of the room, still unable to believe what had happened.
Anas: "Ji-won, today I'm going to give you a gift."
Ji-won: (Curious) "A gift? You've already given me enough surprises!"
Anas: "This is an even bigger surprise."
Ji-won: (Approaching him) "What do you mean?"
Anas: "You'll find out later. Now, get ready. We're all going out."
---
After everyone got ready, Anas stood in front of the large wardrobe. He opened it and pulled out several elegant bags. He placed them on the bed and opened them.
Anas: "These are for you."
Ji-won and Nayun looked inside the bags, and their eyes widened.
Nayun: (Screaming) "Wow! A dress! A beautiful dress!"
Nayun pulled out a small red dress made of soft fabric, embroidered at the edges with golden threads. It was simple yet elegant, with a pair of small red shoes that shone like mirrors.
Ji-won: (Staring at the other bag) "Anas... this... this is a dress from a famous brand! This can't be real!"
She pulled out a dark blue dress, knee-length, with an elegant cut that highlighted her figure without being excessive. It came with a short white coat, medium heels, and a small handbag that matched the color.
Ji-won: (Trembling) "This dress costs millions! How did you buy it?!"
Anas: (Smiling) "I bought a lot. Try it on."
Nayun: (Jumping with joy) "Me first! Me first!"
Nayun put on her little red dress and stood in front of the mirror, spinning happily. The dress suited her perfectly; the red color made her skin look even fresher, and her long black hair flowed over her shoulders like silk. She looked like a little princess from a fairy tale.
Nayun: (Admiring herself) "Dad! I'm beautiful! I'm like a princess!"
Anas: (Smiling) "You're already my princess."
Ji-won put on the blue dress and stood hesitantly in front of the mirror. She looked at herself and couldn't believe what she saw. The dress was perfect, as if designed especially for her. It highlighted her beauty without being vulgar, making her look like she'd stepped out of a magazine cover.
Ji-won: (Tearing up) "Anas... I... I'm beautiful!"
Anas: (Approaching her) "You've always been beautiful. But today, you'll see it for yourself."
As for Anas, he wore an elegant black suit made of luxurious fabric that shimmered faintly in the light. The cut was perfect, accentuating his athletic build without exaggeration. He brushed his short white hair back, becoming even more handsome than before. He stood before the mirror, looked at himself for a moment, then smiled.
Nayun: (Screaming) "Dad! You're so handsome! You look like a movie star!"
Ji-won: (Staring at him) "Anas... you... I have no words."
Anas: "I think we're all at our best today."
They left the apartment, and as the door closed behind them, they looked outside. The sky was clear, and the sun was shining gently. But what really caught their attention was a luxurious black car parked in front of the building, a modern model they'd only ever seen in movies.
Nayun: (Tugging Anas's hand) "Dad! Look at that car! It's so pretty!"
Ji-won: (Admiring the car) "This... this is a limousine? What's it doing here?"
Anas approached the car and opened the rear door.
Anas: "This is our car. Please, get in."
Ji-won: (Jaw dropping) "What?!"
Nayun: (Jumping with joy) "Our car! This is our car! Yes!"
Nayun quickly climbed into the back seat, touching everything: the luxurious leather seats, the small screens, the interior lights.
Nayun: "It's so soft! And the seats are warm!"
Ji-won: (Getting in slowly) "I can't believe I'm sitting in this car. Anas, what's happened to our lives?"
Anas: (Sitting beside her) "They've changed. For the better."
The car moved quietly, driving them through Seoul's morning streets. Nayun stared out the window, waving at passersby as if she were a little queen. They arrived at the kindergarten, where parents and children were gathering.
The luxurious car stopped in front of the gate, and all eyes turned toward it. Nayun stepped out confidently in her beautiful red dress, her shiny black hair flowing. Everyone stopped talking, staring at this little girl who looked like a princess.
A Little Girl: (Whispering to her friend) "Look! It's Nayun! She's so pretty today!"
Another Child: "Wow! Their car is so big!"
One of the Teachers: (Approaching Nayun) "Nayun! Look at you! Are these your new clothes?"
Nayun: (Proudly) "Yes! My dad bought them for me! And my mom has a beautiful dress too!"
Nayun turned to the car and waved at her parents.
Nayun: "Bye! I'm going to tell everyone my dad is handsome and my mom is beautiful!"
Ji-won: (Laughing) "That child... never shy."
Anas: "That's what I love about her."
---
The car drove away from the kindergarten and headed out of the city. After an hour of driving, they arrived at a remote place deep in dense forests, with no sign of anyone around.
Ji-won got out of the car and looked around in amazement.
Ji-won: "Where are we? Why did we come here?"
Anas: "This is where I'll give you your gift."
Ji-won: (Confused) "A gift? Here? In the middle of the forest?"
Anas: "Remember when I asked if you wanted to become strong like me?"
Ji-won: (Eyes widening) "Yes... I said I wanted that."
Anas: "Today, I'll make it happen. I'll make you the strongest hunter in the world. Even more than that."
Ji-won: (Trembling with excitement) "Really?!"
Anas: "But that's not all. I'll also make you... more beautiful than you can imagine."
Ji-won: (Laughing) "More beautiful? How?"
Anas: "You'll resemble the legendary phoenix. The firebird that rises from ashes."
Anas placed his hand on Ji-won's head and whispered softly.
Anas: "Activate MOD MENU. Stop time."
In an instant, everything stopped. The leaves froze in mid-air, the birds in the sky, everything around them. Absolute silence.
Anas raised his hand, and a massive screen appeared before him, shimmering with blue and golden lights.

Anas: "Deactivate time stop."
Time returned to flowing, and suddenly...
Ahh!
Ji-won screamed loudly and fell to her knees. She grabbed her head with both hands, and her body began trembling violently.
Ji-won: (Screaming) "Aaaah! Anas! What's happening?! Aaaah!"
Anas: (Standing beside her) "Stay still. It's body restructuring. It'll only last 5 seconds."
Ji-won: (In pain) "I can't! It hurts! It feels like fire burning me from the inside!"
Halos of orange and red flames ignited around her, writhing like snakes. Her body was changing, adapting to the new powers. Strand by strand, her hair began turning from black to bright red. Her eyes lit up with a golden-red glow.
Ji-won: (Screaming) "Aaaah! 3 seconds! I'm dying!"
Anas: "Just 2 more seconds."
Ji-won: (Tossing on the ground) "I can't take it!"
Anas: "One second left."
Ji-won: (Screaming at the top of her lungs) "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Then... silence.
She stopped screaming. She stopped trembling. She took a deep breath, then slowly opened her eyes.
Anas: (Approaching her) "Ji-won?"
She looked at him, slowly rising to her feet. She was different. Completely different.
Her hair had become bright red like fire, long down to the middle of her back, shimmering as if embers burned within it. Her eyes had turned a golden-red, with fiery glowing patterns in her irises, like living flames. Her skin was fresher, with subtle golden undertones enhancing her beauty. Her eyelashes were long and golden, her lips naturally red. She stood slightly taller, her figure perfectly proportioned.
She stood before him like the legendary phoenix, reborn from the ashes.
Even Anas himself, the absolute manipulator, stood staring at her for a moment. For one moment, he forgot himself, forgot his power, forgot everything. He only saw her breathtaking beauty.
Anas: (Stunned) "You... you..."
Ji-won: (Examining her hands) "What? Did I change?"
Anas pulled a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to her. Ji-won looked into the mirror, and then...
Ji-won: (Screaming) "Aaaah! Who is that?!"
Anas: (Laughing) "It's you."
Ji-won: (Touching her face) "This... this is me? This is my face?"
Anas: "Yes."
Ji-won: (Screaming again) "Aaaah! I'm beautiful! I'm so beautiful! Look at my hair! Red like fire! And my eyes! Gold and red!"
She started jumping for joy like a child, touching her hair, looking at herself from every angle.
Ji-won: "Anas! How did you do this?! I look like a goddess! Like the phoenix you talked about!"
Anas: (Smiling) "Didn't I tell you I'd make you the most beautiful?"
Ji-won: (Running to hug him) "Thank you! Thank you! I can't believe it!"
Anas: (Hugging her back) "You're welcome."
Ji-won: (Looking up at him) "But... what about my power? Am I really strong?"
Anas: "Open your status window."
Ji-won: (Raising her hand nervously) "How?"
Anas: "Just say 'status window'."
Ji-won: "Status window."
A massive blue window appeared before her, shimmering with golden lights.

Ji-won: (Looking at the skills) "And EX skills! Four offensive and three defensive! And 15 SSS skills!"
Anas: "I'd say you're ready now."
Ji-won: (Getting excited) "I want to test my power!"
She raised her hand and focused her energy. Then she punched the air.
KRA-KOOOOOOM!
The air exploded. A massive shockwave formed, spreading for kilometers. Trees were uprooted, and cracks tore through the ground. Even Anas took a step back.
Ji-won: (Screaming in shock) "Aaaah! What did I do?!"
Anas: (Looking at the destruction) "Seems you're even stronger than I expected."
Ji-won: (Laughing nervously) "Sorry! I didn't mean to! I just punched the air!"
Anas: (Laughing) "That's what happens when you have 50 billion STR."
Ji-won: (Staring at her hands) "I... I'm a destroyer!"
Anas: "Don't worry. I'll teach you how to control it."
Anas took her hand, and in an instant...
FWOOOOOSH!
They teleported to another place. They found themselves in a vast desert, golden sand stretching to infinity, a blazing sun in the sky.
Ji-won: (Looking around) "Where are we?"
Anas: "The Sahara Desert. North Africa."
Ji-won: "The Sahara?! Why?!"
Anas: (Raising his hand, forming a transparent barrier around them that stretched for 2000 km) "This is a barrier. Time and space are frozen outside it. No one can see us, and nothing can enter or leave."
Ji-won: (Curious) "Why did you do this?"
Anas: "To train. You need to learn absolute control over your new power. And I... also want to practice my skills."
Ji-won: (Excited) "So... we'll stay here and train?"
Anas: "Yes. Until you master your power."
Ji-won: (Jumping with joy) "Yes! I'll become stronger! I'll become like the phoenix!"
Anas: (Smiling) "You already are the phoenix."
Ji-won looked at her husband, this mysterious man who had changed her life in just a few days. She felt gratitude, love, admiration.
Ji-won: "Anas... thank you. For everything."
Anas: "You're welcome. You're my wife. And my family means everything."
The phoenix and the absolute manipulator stood in the middle of the desert, under the blazing sun, surrounded by a temporal barrier. The journey of training, of mastering their superhuman powers, had begun.
And the fun continues.
