the Outcast wizard band's grand tour

Dong Hoon and a strange woman left the room and walked through the corridor to take an elevator. Unlike Dong Hoon, a woman levitated few inches above ground and slowly moved beside Dong Hoon. 

The interior design of a corridor was similar to that of the futuristic spaceship of a science fiction movie of which Dong Hoon watched during class when he was in the Incapable school. 

The shape of the ceiling was a blend of an arch and a hexagon and the color of corridor was usually white, grey, black and the LED lights of red, yellow and blue occassionally sparkled as they moved forward. 

Dong Hoon could not believe everything going on around him.

'How could a wizard use human facility of advanced science and technology to recover his or her power?'

thought Dong Hoon. 

As a matter of fact, they were going to the magical power rehabilitation chamber. It was a place where he could unlock his basic power to become the Capable, or the wizard. 

Soon, Dong Hoon could see the hologram sign of the room written 'Rehabilitation Room'. Dong Hoon started to recall his conversations with a strange woman when he reached the entrance of chamber.

Dong hoon woke up at the futuristic and cozy room's bed with curiosity.

"Snowy, where are you?

Joon Woo, where are you?"

shouted Dong Hoon moving his head to all directions.

However, they did not show up.

Instead, a strange woman was gazing at him with calmness inside dark room with indirect lighting similar to that of moonlight near Dong Hoon's bed. 

"Who are you?"

said Dong Hoon with amazement.

Indeed, a woman was really beautiful and seemed to be in her early 20s. She was tall, had long glittering black hair that stretched towards her waist, had porcelain like white skin, odd eyes(left blue, right brown), sharp nose and rosy lip and wore fashionable and modern black suit and boots. All of those things made such a mysterious vibe. 

Dong Hoon wondered what was going on with him. Why did he woke up in futuristic room which does not match with wizard after his death? But above all, he wondered who is that beautiful woman.

He has never seen such a beautiful woman like her in his entire life time. 

'She must be very nice person.

Her eyes tell.'

thought Dong Hoon.

"You must be Kim Dong Hoon."

said a strange woman crisply. 

Suddenly, an icy cold air was felt near Dong Hoon. He became wary of her next move and covered his body with blankets while avoiding her eyes. 

'I was wrong. She might be the person who harmed Snowy and Joon Woo by controlling tiger or perhaps, she might have transformed to tiger and attacked them like evil tigers that appear in Hansean fairly tales and folklores.'

thought Dong Hoon.

"Who are you? What did you do to Snowy and Joon Woo?"

stuttered Dong Hoon with alertness while slightly distancing from her.

"By the time I arrived at the scene, I defeated tiger and found out that Kim Joon Woo was dead. A cat, on the other hand, was not dead. It will come back to you."

Dong Hoon was sad to hear the death of Joon Woo but felt quite relieved of Snowy's survival. 

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Kim Hee Jin, the grandmaster of wizards and grim reapers." 

Dong Hoon was quite puzzled with a word grim reaper. 

"Grim reaper? Am I at the afterlife realm?" 

cried Dong Hoon with perplexity. 

"No."

"Then what is it? The reincarnation?"

"No."

"Then?"

"You have resurrected thanks to your ancestor."

"My ancestor?"

"Your ancestor, General Kim Sook Han's patriotic and humane contribution to in the 11th Century Hanryo dynasty(918-1392), during the Hanryo-Choran war, gave you the second chance in the parallel world of Hansei.

In fact, the Hansean afterlife realm rewards righteous person by giving their descendents second chance of life when they encounter unexpected death." 

Then Hee Jin paused for a moment and the air became much colder. It was the cold air emitted by the grim reapers when they became focused on something. Soon, she continued to talk.

"You need to listen carefully of what I am saying from now on."

Dong Hoon became nervous and started to shiver his body more intensively as an extraordinarily cold air filled the room and wondered what will be her next word.

"It may be hard to believe but you were born to be the dark lord."

Dong Hoon was totally bewildered and forgot about cold air. 

"Who says that?"

"The prophecy of the Hansean afterlife realm does." 

Instantly, Dong Hoon felt dizziness. He then inhaled and exhaled deeply. It was his own way of becoming cool. He breathed like that at the aptitude center as well. 

Having been relaxed he started to ask more things as he realized what an ominous aura was about. 

"Do I really have an ominous aura? There were people who said that I have an ominous aura."

"It is actually not your aura, but your ancestors' and your previous lives'. In wizard world, generational traumas of ancestors and previous lives are passed down to each descendent and are accumulated inside them.

Especially, the wizards who belong to animal family are more susceptible to the generational traumas."

said Hee Jin.

"What is animal family?"

"Some of the wizards belong to animal family. There are exceptionally brilliant animals that has potential to transform into human.

Those animals include Tiger, fox, bear, rabbit, wolf, turtle, whale and many other animals. You must have heard of the foundation mythology of Gohanseon(BC 2333 ~ BC 108) of which tiger and bear competed to become human. In mythology, tiger fails to become human while bear did. 

Nevertheless, some of the tigers succeeded in becoming human later and became wizards. However, they still carried their ancestor's sorrow of failure and defeat. 

Moreover, there were many animals such as rabbits and foxes who deceived tigers with many tricks. Not only rabbits but also human and wizard tended to hunt them and conquer their habitats and drive them out to remote nature. 

As a result, tigers have had many traumas that were passed down to their descendents in the form of agony. Many of those tigers and wizards of tiger family were allured by the dark magics, turned into dark wizards and dark creatures only to be more painful and you have received all of the traumatic memories from them.

Not only agonies but also karmas of your previous lives are accumulated in your subconscious mind and you need to relieve them as well."

said Hee Jin.

All of a sudden, Dong Hoon came up with another question.
