The Celestial Tempest and Shiro Oni

Prologue

Prologue

In a secluded gym in Seoul, the atmosphere was calm, only interrupted by the soft hum of exercise machines. Gun Park, with a serene expression, was going through his daily training routine, focusing on building muscle. Meanwhile, a group of teenagers were huddled in a corner, talking quietly, but close enough for their words to reach Gun's attentive ears.

"I heard there's a new girl in town," one of the boys whispered, trying not to draw attention. "They call her 'The Celestial Tempest,' and they say she can shatter concrete with her kicks."

Another boy leaned forward, as if sharing a secret. "Yeah, a friend saw her in a street fight the other night. He claims she took down everyone in minutes. She even left cracks in the walls and the floor, like they were made of paper."

Gun Park, though seemingly focused on his workout, caught every word. The fact that these teenagers were speaking with such fascination about a fighter who, according to them, possessed nearly superhuman strength piqued his interest. It wasn't common to hear about someone with that level of power.

Without saying a word, Gun left the machine and walked toward the gym exit, his thoughts revolving around this "Celestial Tempest." Curiosity took hold of him. If the rumors were true, he had to find her. He couldn't ignore the chance to see if this mysterious fighter was really as formidable as they said.

Gun Park left the gym with his mind still focused on what he had just heard. He got into his Lamborghini, started the engine, and the deep rumble filled the air as he drove away from the gym and headed towards his home.

The road was relatively clear, allowing him to lose himself in thought as he drove through the streets of Seoul. Curiosity continued to grow inside him, driven by the stories about "The Celestial Tempest." Who was this fighter, and why hadn't he heard of her before? In a world where combat skills were so well-known and respected, someone as impressive as her should have appeared on his radar much earlier.

As the city lights reflected on his car's windshield, Gun Park accelerated slightly, eager to get home. He needed to clear his mind, maybe take a shower, and think about the best way to investigate these rumors. He wasn't someone who was easily swayed by gossip, but this time he felt an unusual urgency to discover the truth.

Finally, Gun Park arrived home, a luxurious apartment in an exclusive part of Seoul. He parked his Lamborghini in the garage and headed up to his apartment. His first stop was the bathroom. He dropped his clothes in a heap and stepped under the hot shower, letting the warmth relax his tense muscles.

As the water poured over him, his thoughts kept returning to "The Celestial Tempest." What kind of opponent would she be? Though he didn't know her yet, something inside him told him that this time, the fight could be different. Perhaps, after all this time, he would finally find a true challenge.

Flashback...

Rimuru Tempest arrived in South Korea with her parents, who were seeking a new opportunity in the bustling city of Seoul. Her youthful appearance, with her sky-blue hair and relatively short stature, often led people to underestimate her, but Rimuru had learned to use this to her advantage.

One night, while she was out alone to buy some groceries at a nearby store, a small group of three unscrupulous individuals spotted her and decided it was an easy opportunity for a kidnapping. They thought that, with her childlike appearance, Rimuru wouldn't be a threat.

However, the kidnappers soon realized their mistake. Rimuru, who had trained in mixed martial arts such as Taekwondo and Boxing, confronted them with impressive skill. Her agility and precision in her movements left the attackers breathless and defeated within minutes. Rimuru's combat abilities proved to be much more formidable than they had anticipated.
