Chapter 1: Gentleman possesion
“Mom, Mom! Look at that!”
The Academy’s Stylish Suit Gentleman
Fold Cover ~
When I was young and knew nothing about the world, the things that captured my heart weren’t toys, children’s cartoons, or even a pretty childhood friend.
I was six years old, an age when I could already distinguish right from wrong, when my mother took me to see a musical.
Back then, I really didn’t want to go, but my mother forced me to come along, saying she wanted to show me something wonderful.
My mother deeply regretted taking me there that day, while I was genuinely grateful that she had.
–I can feel it, I am Edward Hyde!!!
The musical I watched that day was Jekyll X Hyde.
It was the scene where Hyde, having taken control of Jekyll’s body, killed a bishop, set his corpse on fire, and sang a song.
‘Hyde’ set fire to the heart of a six-year-old who absorbed everything into his mind.
The way he effortlessly subdued the bishop with his cane.
The way he casually twirled his cane while maintaining an air of composure.
And on top of that, the grand music that made my entire body vibrate!!
I can’t remember anything else from when I was six, but my memories of Hyde were as vivid as if I had seen him just yesterday.
Just when ‘Hyde’ had introduced me to the sheer coolness of a gentleman, there was another existence that poured oil onto the fire already burning inside me.
–Manners, Maketh, Man.
It was none other than the agent from ‘Kingsman’.
A massacre carried out in a suit with a magnificent voice.
The bar fight where he took down six thugs with nothing but an umbrella.
The church massacre carried out using only a handgun and objects from the surroundings.
He became the fuel that had been burning in my heart since I was six.
After that, I began ignoring everything else and devoted myself to a single thing.
The gentleman character in a suit.
As long as it was a cool male character wearing a suit, that was enough.
Whether it was a movie, anime, comic, novel, or even a single meme, as long as it featured a stylish gentleman in a suit, I was satisfied.
One day, my mother said to me.
–Gyeong-u, why don’t you play some games… and run around with your friends… instead of spending all your time like this?
She said that while looking at me, her good son who always came home with perfect scores on every test, yet didn’t make a single friend and devoted himself entirely to gentlemen in suits.
I’m sorry, Mom.
I should have listened to you, but I became so captivated by the charm of gentlemen in suits that I ended up being an unfilial son.
If only I had listened to my mother.
YouhavepossessedGaenJiSiensa.You have possessed Gaen Ji Siensa.
Something like this might never have happened.
My eyes flew open at the unfamiliar sensation against my back.
A feeling of confinement and comfort wrapped around my body.
I wanted to speak, but no words would come out, so I sat up and looked around.
All black.
It was a room that perfectly embodied those words.
The walls were covered in black wallpaper.
Black suits hung inside a wardrobe fitted with soft lighting.
There were similarly subtle lights and black furnishings.
It was an entirely black room that exuded an unmistakable sense of luxury.
While I sat there bewildered, unable to understand the situation, I felt a vibration on my wrist.
‘…A smartwatch?’
It was a black smartwatch that suited the room perfectly.
As previously announced, the entrance ceremony will be held today at 8:30 A.M. Please make sure to attend without being late.
“What is the meaning of this?” What the hell is this? ‘…What?’
I muttered to myself without thinking, but something completely different from what I intended came out of my mouth.
“This is quite absurd, for such an occurrence to take place.” No, what the hell is going on?
‘I never said anything like that….?’ I muttered again in confusion, only for my words to be interpreted strangely once more.
[The system is activating.]
“What is the matter?”
Holy sh*t! Even though I screamed in surprise, what came out of my mouth was a question delivered in a calm yet stern voice.
At this point, I had to assume that something was controlling my mouth.
[You have possessed Gaen Ji Siensa.]
[Please witness the ending of this world.]
‘Gaen Ji… Siensa.’
I repeated the name Gaen Ji Siensa in my mind.
Gaen Ji Siensa… Genji Siensa… Ganzi Siensa… Ganzi Sensa… ….Ganzi Gentleman? ‘Gaen Ji Siensa…
