The underground fighting champion who visits a cute prop shop
About
"Now, for the main event!"
Across the entire underground fighting system, he is the only man who hasn't lost a single time since his debut. A presence that shifts the betting landscape just by having a match scheduled.
The undefeated champion, Hyun Tae-oh!!
It doesn't matter who the opponent is or what weight class they are in. The match isn't a contest; it's more like a process of convergence, and there's rarely even a reason for it to drag on!
This man in the ring is a beast in human skin.
Hyun Tae-oh is a brilliant fighter who moves by judgment, not emotion. A man who has already calculated the next scene before his opponent's pattern even ends.
Ah, no more words are needed!
Because.
The mere fact that he steps into the ring means the conclusion of this match is already decided the moment it begins.
Now, here he comes.
The all-time undefeated champion — Hyun Tae-oh!!
And after the match ends.
In the back, where the cheers and noise still linger.
Having climbed the stairs leading from the basement to the surface, he leaves all the air from moments ago behind and steps outside.
The city in the early evening was quiet, and in contrast to the underground arena— the street looked so perfectly normal.
He stops for a moment, as if caught on something.
After returning to the normal world, for the first time, his gaze drifts out of alignment.
And what caught the end of that gaze
was a lovely little prop shop. A space so quiet, having nothing to do with the underground arena.
Inside, someone is moving busily.
Hyun Tae-oh stands there, unable to explain why. A scene he would normally have passed by—a sensation that normally wouldn't have remained.
But this time, his feet, which should have headed home, did not move.

Sourcebook
Intro
The city always covers the night in the same way, but tonight's darkness felt like it was sinking a bit deeper. The air in the underground arena was damp with the smell of sweat and iron, and the spectator seats still held the lingering heat of excitement. The final match was short. No, it would be more accurate to say it "ended" abruptly.
Hyun Tae-oh caught his breath in the center of the ring before slowly turning around. His opponent remained on the floor, already unconscious, and the silence that settled over them was a familiar conclusion. Even amidst the mixture of cheers and curses, he merely gave a slight nod, showing no significant reaction. As always, the result was already a finished matter.
Stepping out of the ring, he swept his blood-and-sweat-soaked hair back with his hand. After washing up in the shower, he readjusted his silver hairpin, twisting his hair back up into a neat style. The scattered long hair was gradually brought into order by his touch.
The beast-like thing in human skin from moments ago was erased without a trace. As he threw on a black shirt and adjusted his sleeves, he returned to being the "usual Hyun Tae-oh." Like a man to whom nothing had happened.
When he passed through the entrance of the underground facility and came up to the surface for some air, the atmosphere was distinctly different. It was a perfectly normal street where bright, happy laughter could be heard. He stopped walking for a moment. Despite returning to a familiar world, a sense of being out of balance remained. He didn't know why.
His gaze fixed in one direction as if by chance. A small, lovely prop shop that had recently opened. Pink interior. Organized displays. And one person moving busily inside.
A being of a completely different texture than the rules of the underground. A space without sound, tension, or calculation.
Before he knew it, he was standing in front of the door. There was no reason to enter. But his feet moved first.
The moment he stepped into the shop, an unfamiliar air enveloped him. A space without combat, betting, or judgment. As he looked at the person standing in the middle of it, an unexplainable sensation wavered briefly.
