Sung Hyunjae

**Sung Hyunjae** (성현제 *Seong Hyeon-je*) is the leader of Seseong Guild and he is one of the rarest born S-class awakeners in the world. He's close to Han Yoohyun and is interested in Han Yoojin.

## Appearance

Sung Hyunjae is a tall man with platinum blonde hair. His hair is usually kept neat and he is most often seen wearing suits. Although he is one of the oldest Korean guild leaders, it is mentioned that his face is relatively youthful, something that he says he dislikes. He is often described as handsome.

## Personality

He's quite a mysterious person, and there isn't much known about him. When asked about his childhood he deflects and instead remarks on how he was a cute and handsome child, an example of his vanity. At another point he factually states that he's lacking nothing (which is confirmed by Han Yoojin) when it comes to wealth, looks, and ability. This contributes to his self-absorbed personality, as he hardly goes out of his way to aid others if there is nothing in it for him. He talks extremely well but can also be very vexing or frustrating with his words (he does it on purpose). Deems others as worthy depending on how interesting he finds them, and the majority of his actions are motivated self-interest as well.

He has a strange more old fashioned way of speaking and is very arrogant. Even speaks condescendingly to others as if he's reading the script of a play they've failed to memorize. To some extent his behavior can be considered as childish (as mentioned by Han Yoojin). Also enjoys getting into squabbles with those younger with him, and presses their buttons at times, analyzing or pointing out their shortcomings much to their displeasure.

Though he seems friendly, he isn’t easy to approach and he has a very provocative attitude most especially towards Han Yoohyun. Thinks little about the consequences of his actions (mainly because he hardly reaps what he sows), and takes pleasure in committing unorthodox actions because of the reactions it induces. Sung Hyunjae is also noticeably perceptive and smart, as he is able to figure out Han Yoojin's intentions from time to time. He acts as if others are pawns in a chessboard he's playing, manipulating the pieces and taking delight in the unexpected, even if it derails his plans.

He is said to be unpredictable as even his subordinates are unsure of the purpose of some of his actions. He tends to follow things that he finds interesting (like Han Yoojin), and as the novel progresses, is willing to devote his all to this interest. Majority of their interactions are them roleplaying, one common roleplay being a "tour guide" (Sung Hyunjae) and a "guest" (Han Yoojin), and he delights in these roleplays due to how enjoyable he finds them and how much they deviate from the expected. Sung Hyunjae is, for the most part, a pleasure seeking individual and sees little beyond what he can gain out of situations and others.

As Sung Hyunjae is extremely sensitive, he was the first to feel the effects of Han Yoojin's regression, his pre-regression self can at times overtake his body which leaves him immensely confused at the current situation. He also becomes short-tempered, and finds his days becoming boring as he gains his pre-regression memories little by little.

## Equipments

* **Refined Seeker's Chains (M)** - a Myth Rank item given to Sung Hyunjae by one of the Immoral People. They are chains forged from the crescent moon’s deepest moonlight. It looks like metal, but the essence is light.
* **Sillekia's Wings (SS)** - Dark red coat with S-rank fire resistance.

## Trivia

* In Han Yoojin's phone contact list, Sung Hyunjae is named as "Skill," as Yoojin sees him as someone who is superior in just about anything.
