Hellborn Abyss

Chapter 3

Five years had passed since Yoongi had been under the care of his uncle Taehmin. His training had been rigorous and unrelenting. Taehmin, a seasoned hunter with a stern but compassionate demeanor, had molded Yoongi into a skilled and determined warrior. Now, at the age of 20, Yoongi felt a burning need to confront the demon that had taken his parents from him and exact his vengeance.

In the dimly lit training room of Taehmin's secluded cabin, Yoongi was preparing for his journey. His weapons were meticulously arranged on a table, and a map of South Korea was spread out before him. Taehmin entered the room, his expression a mix of pride and concern.

Taehmin: "Yoongi, you're about to embark on a dangerous path. Are you sure you're ready?"

Yoongi looked up from the map, determination in his eyes. "I have to do this, Uncle. I need to find the demon that killed my parents. I can't rest until I've avenged them."

Taehmin: "I understand your desire for revenge, but remember, vengeance can cloud your judgment. The demon you seek is powerful and cunning. You must stay focused and cautious."

Yoongi nodded, his resolve unwavering. "I know. I've trained for this moment my entire life. I'm prepared."

Taehmin placed a hand on Yoongi's shoulder. "I'm proud of the hunter you've become. But even the most skilled hunters can face unexpected dangers. Take this." He handed Yoongi a small amulet. "It will protect you from dark forces and help you track the demon."

Yoongi accepted the amulet, slipping it into his pocket. "Thank you, Uncle. I'll use it wisely."

Taehmin: "One more thing. If you find yourself in over your head, remember that you don't have to face this alone. Seek help if you need it. The world is vast, and allies can be found in the most unexpected places."

Yoongi: "I'll keep that in mind."

With a final nod, Yoongi gathered his gear and prepared to leave. He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his mission settle over him.

Taehmin: "Be careful out there, Yoongi. And remember, the pursuit of vengeance is a double-edged sword. Don't let it consume you."

Yoongi looked back at his uncle, his face a mix of gratitude and determination. "I won't forget. I'll make sure justice is served."

Yoongi embarked on his quest with relentless determination, traversing dense forests and rugged mountains. His search led him to ancient ruins and forgotten temples, places where the boundary between worlds was perilously thin. Each clue and disturbance he tracked heightened his senses, sharpening his resolve.

One night, as he prepared camp beside a crackling fire, Yoongi pored over his notes and maps. The frustration of weeks without significant progress was beginning to gnaw at him.

Yoongi: "Where are you hiding, demon? I won't rest until I find you."

Suddenly, a rustling in the nearby underbrush drew Yoongi's attention. His hand instinctively moved to his sword, his gaze sweeping the darkness. Out of the shadows stepped a figure—a fellow hunter.

Hunter: "Yoongi, isn't it? I've heard stories about you. I'm Jisoo. I've been hunting the same demon."

Yoongi's eyes narrowed as he assessed Jisoo, suspicion mingled with a glimmer of hope. "I appreciate the offer, but I've been working alone for a reason. I don't want any complications."

Jisoo: "I understand your hesitation. But I've gathered valuable intel on the demon's whereabouts. My information might help us find it faster."
