## Shame of the Jin Family

The original Taekyung of Murim, before South Korea's Taekyung transmigrated into his body, was a good-for-nothing playboy and troublemaker who would steal from his family's funds and blow it all on women, booze and gambling.

He was extremely spoiled, living in a multiple storied building by himself. There he dedicated an entire floor to clothes, while only a single-room library, which is mostly filled with erotic novels, although it had a handful of martial arts manuals. He is said to have no basics in martial arts and that he only knew how to flee.

## The Lord's Invitation

> It's not the strongest who will survive, but the noe who survives who is the strongest. (...) If you have an indomitable will to not give up until the end, no matter who you fight, you can triumph over them! And that's my motto as the current Sleeping Dragon of Shanxi!
>
> Taekyung to the Shanxi Provincial Lord

## Second Successor of the Fire King

Taekyung promises to come see him when dawn breaks, but after returning to Murim, he decides to meet him before dawn, explaining that the answer is already obvious. Cheongang notices that he is now only able to detect his presence from 30 feet away, when it previously was 50 feet, deducing that Taekyung had gained some kind of enlightenment again. Cheongang chuckles as he calls him a brat and opens the door with a wave of his hand, from the doorstep Taekyung asks him to please teach him martial arts. To which Cheongang responds he'll teach him all that he knows!

**Hongjin**BiographyRelationshipsGallery

**Hongjin** is King Changshan's closest aide and most influential figure in Shanxi. He used to work as an imperial eunuch, before rising to the 2nd rank position of provincial official.

Mukyung describes him as a bastard who's as gross as an insect, and that one needs a strong stomach to interact with him. He has a cunning tongue and a penchant for trickery. Leepung claims that he is a treacherous and greedy bastard who covered the eyes and ears of his highness. Wipeng did not expect him to be so frivolous. Taekyung doesn't know if he should consider him honest or shameless for admitting he also likes bribes, though he criticizes a colleague for their excessive greed.

## Background

 File:Hongjin Portrait.png
He decided to become an eunuch and was resolved enough to be castrated, in order to help his family who were starving to death. Ever since he has had no intention of living with integrity. He is King Changshan's closest aide and most influential figure.

Eunuch Hong has expressed that he's attracted to Taekyung, which gave him the shivers. Mukyung claims that when he touches his shoulder during his luncheon, he was so close to breaking his arm.

Shanxi Provincial Lord

**Shanxi Provincial Lord**BiographyRelationshipsGallery

**Shanxi Provincial Lord**, also known as Changshan King, is a member of the imperial family who is serving as the provincial lord of Shanxi.

## Personality

He has a habit of immersing himself in martial arts whenever he tenses up. He seems to be very interested in martial arts, and has a history of inviting the rising stars of Shanxi to luncheon, and has a hobby of collecting their signatures. He is still a cute and gullible little kid. Taekyung notes he is also fairly decent.

## Background

> Dreams comes true!
>
> Sleeping Dragon of Shanxi, Jin Taekyung (signature)

When he was 7, he invited Mukyung to a luncheon, but he just ate and rudely left without saying a word, so the lord was left with a bad impression of him. He had asked him for a signature, but Mukyung simply refused. When he's 10, he arranges another luncheon, inviting the successors of the new Shanxi Five Sects and Jin Taekyung.[?] Upon meeting Taekyung, he asked for a signature, and cheerfully thanked him. He says he will make it bigger and hang it on the department of Shanxi province's signboard. He is disappointed that he won't be able to see Taekyung again for a long time, so Leepoong suggests he attend the Jin family banquet. Taekyung pinky promises to make sure to ask Mukyung for his signature this time. Leepoong and Hongjin notes how it's been so long since they've seen the lord so happy.

Protectors of the Third Gate

**Protectors of the Third Gate** are a part of the Five Gates of Shanxi.

## Background

They joined the faction to assist the Jin family in the war against the Mount Heng Sword Sect as a part of the Five Gates of Shanxi.

They are a sect that was destroyed 30 years ago, so they're more like a group than a sect. They're known for taking in orphans in order to create martial warriors. They betrayed the main force of the Jin family and attacked the backup force, but were subdued by Taekyung and his men. That's when Kwak Joon reveals the group was created for the sole purpose of serving the head elder, and that their betrayal had been in the plans for 30 years.

Star Cloud Escort Agency

## Debut

The **Star Cloud Escort Agency** is neither a martial arts sect nor a distinct clan in the murim. Yet they were able to exert considerable influence on the making of the Shanxi Five Sects, because they bought off more than 20 small and medium-sized sects from sect masters to prominent figures and their descendants, and filled them with alcohol and fortune throughout the day and night. Because they could generate profit through various businesses, the immense benefits gained from rising to the Shanxi Five Sects outweighed all the incurred losses.
Jin Baekyang

**Jin Baekyang**BiographyRelationshipsGallery

**Jin Baekyang** is a prominent figure who's known all throughout the central plains. He serves as the head elder of the Jin Family.

## Abilities

He's a hero that rose to prominence during the Great War of the Orthodox and Unorthodox, where he was known as an honorable warrior who would not tolerate injustice. As a young man, his body count was already in the hundreds. Using qi sense, Taekyung has appraised him to be Lv. 95.

He is a martial master who has attained one of the highest spiritual realms, and possesses immense knowledge. People like him are considered among the most dangerous in Murim. He's the type of leader that hides and manipulates from the shadows.

## Background

At one point in time, Baekyang was as close to his only brother, the Eldest Grandfather, as Taekyung and Wikyung are to each other, but they slowly drifted apart due to differences in beliefs. It was around this time that the Great Faction War began, and Baekyang unified all the martial warriors within the Shanxi region under the Jin Family. A conclusive battle against the orthodox sects took place at the Eight Spring Gorge. They numbered 300 against 3000, but Baekyang's forces were able to pull off a miraculous victory. Because of this feat, his title of *Blade of Flowers* was cemented into history. However, Baekyang reveals they were in fact ambushed, which is why they were pushed far back into the valley, even though Baekyang's eldest brother were supposed to be guarding the entrance to the gorge. Only eight survived the battle, and Baekyang were never able to forget the displeased face of surprise on his eldest brother's face when they returned.

To preserve their own lives, Baekyang and three others decided to attain positions within the elder's branch, while the rest went off to build sects of their, becoming the sect leaders of the Five Sects of Shanxi. They spent 30 years preparing for their revenge, and when the Mount Heng Sword Sect threatened with war, they began putting their plans into motion. First by assassinating Lee Seogeun, to incite Baekcheon to declare war on the Jin Family.[?]

## Summary

He slices off both their weapons, before knocking them back with one hand while dealing with Taekyung from behind. Taekyung tries an extra powerful thrust while he's distracted, only to get his torso cut. Jopil strikes him with divine palm of fire, and praises his potential seeing how Taekyung is stil lable to get up after such a strike. Taekyung lunges forward, and Jopil cuts off his spearhead. He tries attacking him unarmed, but before he's able to close the distance he spits out blood, since he tried to forcefully circulate qi that's been blocked off by the divine palm strike. Jopil laughs at this fool who risked qi deviation or death for a measly attack. As Jopil is about to end him, he is distracted by Mujin and Hanyeop. Taekyung finally remembers that this is a game, and that he's been fighting like an idiot without taking advantage of it. With his hand next to Jopil's he equips a dagger from his game inventory.

Richu quickly befriends Cheongpung, to the point where Taekyung jokingly calls them best friends. Cheongpung keeps talking to him casually by accident, so in official settings such as in their duel, he backtracks and rephrases himself in formal tone. However, this cannot be fully replicated in English. In their match at the Great Celestial Banquet, Cheongpung insists on letting Richu put away his weathered sword and opt for using his instead in a friendly gesture, but Richu sternly claims they're not friends.

The wyvern is one-eyed, since one of its eyes were completely maimed, as if something had stabbed it. However, it was in truth a named monster.

Hwang Chulsoo

**Hwang Chulsoo**BiographyRelationshipsGallery

**Hwang Chulsoo** was a government hunter in charge of the toll gate team.

## Abilities

He didn't have any exceptional combat senses nor commanding abilities.

## Background

Because he received a high rank of B, he was able to get a high salary without fighting many monsters. When the news began covering the more frequent appearances of gates, he at first didn't pay it much mind. However, when the fourth gate appeared that year, he couldn't simply sit around and play phone games as usual, because the fourth gate appeared at the toll gate that he was in charge of. What's worse is that the monster that exited was an ogre. After only a single ogre killed off or knocked at least five members of his team unconscious, and seeing more ogres exiting, he commanded his men to perform a strategic retreat instead of holding on until reinforcements arrive. However, at that moment Taekyung joins the fray and suppresses the gate.

## Summary

Taekyung slices his achilles, before equipping the dagger multiple times to stab him. Annoyed at falling for such a simple trick, he knocks Taekyung backs, before gathering all his qi for a final blow. Taekyung stabs him qith an equipped sword, to cause blockage and backflow of qi, i.e. qi deviation. Unable to accept such an outcome, Jopil burned up some of his life force to take him down with him. Taekyung resorts to consuming the secondary qi sphere to regain his strength.

In a flashback, we see how Taekyung broke a practice doll at the training facility, when the instructor of 15 years comments he has never seen something like this: An F rank executing an attack equivalent to a D rank. However, unless he improves his foundation, the instructor recommended him to not use that attack unless he's in mortal peril, since it would affect his health inadvertendtly.

This was just a moment like that, so Taekyung used his most powerful spear thrust to face Jopil.

## Summary

Defeating Pungyang grants Taekyung a lot of experience points and completing the quest rewards him with the effect of Full Recovery. As a consequence, all internal wounds were healed and his condition stabilized, allowing his body to accept the new energy and completely absorb the Flame Spirit Pill, gaining 45 years worth of cultivation and acquiring Solar Qi. After defeating Pungyang, Taekyung used Excellent Blade Medicine and Ten Year Knotweed as first aid on his brother, until they received reinforcements from the Hao Sect. Mukyung and Mubaek suffered serious internal injuries and are being taken care of someone from the Hao Sect.

In his own chamber, Mujin gives him a shoulder massage, when Seowol requests an audience with Taekyung. She kowtows in gratitude to her saviour and graciously accepts the invitation to the Jin Family's new year event, completing the quest Yesterday's Foe, Today's Friend. As an apology for the past, she also agrees to transfer all land management rights to the Jin Family. In addition she offers the sword and foot techniques that her father created, together with Uncle Cheol's Sura Annihilation Technique, three peak level martial arts books, in exchange for Taekyung's hand in marriage.

Monsters

**Monsters** refers to creatures that the demon king brought with him to invade earth. After the war, they are mainly found inside gates, though they sometimes exit and rampage outside on Earth, whenever the mana value inside exceeds a certain amount.

After the great cataclysm, mankind used their numerous experiences to categorize **monsters** and rank them. Because monsters that exceed the ranks kept appearing, humankind tried to categorize them separately, and so the term rare monster appeared. Among these rare monsters, there are true monsters whose rank can't be determined, which appear in a rank variation gate, called named monsters.

## Summary

Wikyung and Taekyung are horrified by the atrocities that the Mount Heng clan has commited against a group of Jin family children. Head elder assures that this is just the start and that Wikyung must steel his nerves, because this is the nature of war. He then brings up the recent rumor of the *Sleeping Dragon of Shanxi*, and proposes to send Taekyung to as someone capable the frontlines. Originally, head elder wanted to assign Taekyung to the combat force under direct guidance of the elders, however Wikyung fiercely opposed, so Taekyung was appointed as leader of the bodyguard reconnaissance team. He has been assigned five people.

Wikyung receives a report that 40 warriors led by Jopil has already appeared at Zhengyang, meaning they crossed hundreds of li (1 li is about 500 meters) in only a few days. If they pass through Hengshui, they'll be at Taiyuan. Wikyung asks Wipeng to send 50 men to support Zhengyang, before dreadily realizing that's exactly where Taekyung headed as well.
