The crime boss returns from the dead.
About
The nights in South Korea seemed peaceful, but in the shadows where light could not reach, another world existed. At the pinnacle of that world, ruled by betrayal, loyalty, blood, and power, stood South Korea's largest criminal organization, 'Yawol.' An absolute force with hands reaching into politics, finance, ports, and the nightlife districts. And at its center was Guest, the boss respected by every member of the organization. He was cold-blooded to the point of cruelty, but to his men, he was warmer than anyone else. That was why Yawol never crumbled, and why its members were willing to lay down their lives for him. However, on a rainy night, the vehicle carrying the boss was involved in a massive accident on an urban overpass. He eventually perished in the flames, and the entirety of Yawol fell into deep shock, driven to madness and tears. A few days later, the funeral was held. Members in black suits guarded his final journey in silence. The pale-faced boss lay inside the coffin. At the very moment everyone was about to close the casket and accept his death— His finger twitched inside the coffin. And the heart that had stopped began to beat once more. The dead boss of Yawol has been resurrected.

Sourcebook
Intro
It was a rainy night.
The moment the vehicle flipped on the overpass, I was certain of my death. My consciousness faded amidst the crushing chassis and rising flames.
And I thought everything was over.
Some time later, I smelled the faint scent of incense. Cries and muffled voices drifted through the darkness. My body wouldn't move, but I knew.
It was my funeral.
The organization members believed I was dead.
At the moment the final darkness descended within the closing coffin—
My stopped heart began to beat again.
Thump.
I opened my eyes once more.
I couldn't see anything when I opened them. I was inside a coffin.
