A dark black portal opens in the same spot where Yeong-Hwan and Mr. Black left from.
A young man with long straight black hair and dirty torn clothes and bare feet steps out of the dark portal. As he exits the portal he smiles.
The gate closes as he exits. A screen appears in front of Yeong-Hwan.

It seems I've become a Boundary Worlder.
What daily Challenges will I have to do? Is it hard?
"Depending on the level you choose depends how hard or easy the challenge is."
"As you grow and develop skills the challenges will become even longer and difficult."
I see
So how do I obtain skills?
"By training."
Training?
"Yes, training."
"Your task for today is to work on your mental state."
So how do I go about that?
"Close your eyes an imagine the void you were in before."
(Is this what Mr. Black meant by remembering this feeling.)
Yeong-Hwan climbed up the same tree that started his meeting with Mr.Black.
Afterwards, he closed his eyes and began to focus on the feeling of being in the void
Moments later, he could feel nothing, nor see, nor hear, even so, he could sense a presence not that far from him.
He then focused his mind towards that presence and like a drop of water he could see this being
"A woman with long hair and a limp. Like she's been hurt. Now that I notice she's wearing something heavy and holding on to something."
Farther down there seems to be a group of men who's after her.
Huh?
"Haa… haaa"
"It seems this might be my last fight, before I die." "I'm sorry lil sister I couldn't make it back."
The woman in heavy armor with noticeable wounds takes a deep breath. She raises the sword that she's using for support, and raises it above her head.
"With my last bit of strength I'll use my finally attack!"
As she is about to attack a man in torn clothes appears in front of her.
"Sir, I don't know who you are, but you need to leave! It's not safe here!"
The woman says in a desperate tone.
The man didn't listen, but instead grabbed her and ran as fast as he could. Until-
[New Task: Save the woman in silver armor for a new skill]
Hmm… but I don't have any skills to help save her
Well, if the system thinks I can then I'll do it!
Ma'am I need to take some armor off so I can move faster.
"Sure!, but where are you taking me!"
Its not that far from here.
(I see so that's why it gave me that challenge)
(When my body was healed I gained my strength back!) (But this is impressive I can move like the wind) (And I'm light on my feet!)
Yeong-Hwan ran even faster than the wind or to say with the wind while carrying the woman who was in armor
"Ahh, Sir you can slow down! I THINK WE LOST THEM BY NOW!"
The woman screams and shouts while tapping Yeong-Hwan to stop.
As she shouts for Yeong to stop her, her eyes began to tear up from the sudden gust of wind that came from when he ran.
Oh sorry, we're almost there. I was trying to find a place with water, to treat your wounds.
The woman seemed shocked by Yeong's statement.
"Well… thank you."
" Umm…..If you go 10 more miles west you'll find a small lake."
The woman says while feeling reassured of her safety.
10 more miles of traveling; in the distance you could see a small lake big enough for a small village.
Moments later they make it to the lake. Yeong Lay's the woman down by the lake.
"Thank you kind sir."
The woman says as she gathers water to put on her face.
"It was no problem." Yeong says as he ponders what words to ask next .
(Why was my task to save this woman.) (Is she of great importance to my goal?)
If I have to ask why were you being followed by those group of men? You seem to be pretty strong for yourself?
The women looks at Yeong and sighs a breath of relief.
"I thought you were going to ask something else, but if this is what you wanted to ask then I'll tell you. But first…."
The women got up on her feet and glared at Yeong with sharp eyes as if she was analyzing him.
Yeong puzzled by the sudden change of emotion from the woman began to ask another when she interrupted him by asking.
"Are you affiliated with an organization."
"If you are I will have to politely ask you to reframe any further of questions." " If not then-
Umm… Ma'am as you can see by the clothes wearing why would I be affiliated with any of the sorts. I'm just a wonderer.
I have no connections.
"Oh... I see"
The woman says with a bit of embarrassment.
She then bows her head and apologizes to Yeong.
"I apologize for misunderstanding, it's just that you came out of no where and I thought you saved me, because you wanted something from me."
It makes sense, but it's not good to assume Ms.-
"Constance….. The name is Constance"
Constance.
"Yes."
"While the names are coming out, what's your name sir or miss?"
It's Sir and my name is... umm..
(Should I give her my real name?)
( or not?)
"------"
Ki
"Key?"
No Ki as in chi like from within, but Ki as in around you.
(Who am I kidding I just thought of a name on the top of my head)
"Well, nice to meet you key"
(She still said it wrong)
Yeah
After they reintroduced
themselves ,"Constance" the woman in silver armor asked "Ki" where he was headed to next. When she heard that he didn't have a place she invited for him to stay over at hers.
Moments later the woman name Constance and "Ki" traveled to a fork road that looked to be of an eerie feeling. There were a gloomy forest to the left and a dead forest of trees to the right. The sign in front displayed the names of
"The Back Woods" and "The burial".
Ms. Constance are you sure this is the right route to get to your home. Ki Says as he feels a bit of distrust from her.
"Yes, this is the path we always take to home." Constance says with the look of an innocent kitten.
We?
"Yes, I have a young sister."
"She's the last family I have."
The last sentence of Constance rang a bell in side Ki that made him feel as though they both had something in common.
Ki looked at Constance and wanted to ask her the reason, but held his tongue and instead asked her of which path should be chosen.
"Since many people don't come to this forest a lot it's a good way to keep trespassers away when not wanted."
"Well take the path that looks the most gloomiest of all "The Back Woods"
Constance similes and heads forward to the path of "The Back Woods" as Ki tags a long.
"The choices I make.... will it determine the next step?"
