Lookism: New Life

Ryu clicked on the video.

The title read: "All the Things You Need Before Making a Webtoon."

He watched the video carefully, absorbing every detail. When it ended, he immediately grabbed his $16,280 and headed to the nearest computer shop.

Once inside, he began browsing for the best equipment.

After a bit of searching, he picked out a laptop, a smartphone, and a drawing tablet—everything he needed to get started.

Approaching the cashier, he placed the items on the counter and asked, "How much is it?"

The cashier scanned each item and responded, "That'll be $2,125."

Ryu checked his remaining cash—$14,155.

Satisfied with his purchase, he headed home.

Once there, he rewatched the video, focusing on the essential skills it mentioned. He memorized the key points before searching for something new.

"How to draw like a pro."

He clicked on the first video and carefully copied the artist's movements. After a few tries and watching several other tutorials, he started improving—his strokes becoming cleaner, more precise.

He wasn't the most creative person, but copying? That was an entirely different story.

Without hesitation, he began sketching the the chapters of the manhwas that the love from memory. He didn't only read, he read other manhwas too.

An hour passed.

He had only managed to finish two chapters.

"Drawing is way harder than I thought… There's no way I can do this every day. I'll follow the original schedule of korean manhwas—one chapter per week."

Deciding on his approach, he uploaded the first chapter and saved the second for the following week.

Feeling drained, he took a quick bath and stepped out to grab lunch at a nearby store.

After eating, he returned home and checked his phone.

As expected, since it was only the first chapter, his webtoon wasn't that popular yet. But people were excited about it.

"Why not upload the second chapter as well?"

Without hesitation, he posted Chapter 2.

Bored, he decided to keep drawing.

Two Hours Later…

He leaned back in his chair, cracking his stiff fingers.

Chapter 10. Finished.

A smirk crept onto his lips.

"This is probably gonna blow up quickly."

Glancing at the time, he saw it was 7:54 PM.

"I should train. I need to get stronger."

With everything going on, he had completely neglected his workouts. But now that he remembered, he wasn't going to ignore it any longer.

Still, training alone wasn't ideal. He needed a teacher—someone to push him beyond his limits.

"Who should train me? Gun? Goo? James? Others? Or all of them?"

He decided to think about it later and pushed his body to the limit.

By the time he returned home, it was 10:47 PM.

Exhausted, he collapsed onto his bed, staring at the ceiling.

As his eyelids grew heavy, his thoughts lingered on one thing—

Who should train him?

A smirk formed before he drifted off to sleep.

He had made his choice.

Author's Note:

I haven't made up my mind yet on who will train him. I am thinking about him getting training from Gun and aldo training from Goo to improve his weapon's knowledge.

You can suggest me on who should train Ryu.
