My name is Hwa Hae Ji, sister to Joon Wen Ji. After our parents died from a fire, Joon began to study magic.

He became a wizard, a respected wizard, opening a business for other wizards, but a fire was started and we lost our business. We had to live in a shack, living off of what we could find... and steal.

My brother then caught an illnesses, illnesses that needed expensive medicines to treat. So after my brother was ill, I began to steal at the age of 9.

[5 YEARS LATER]

I was walking down a street getting ready a hand to pickpocket. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" The man I was trying to steal from yelled at me. "N-nothing s-sir!" I stuttered.

He pushed me against a wall. My head began to bleed. The man then left. *"Oof, guess I'm going to die of blood loss."* I thought to myself in a sarcastic tone. I looked up at the sky, the sky was beautiful. The brick walls surrounded them, but then noticed something, a poster. "Hmm," I said out loud.

I then read the paper, "Tournament!" Then I read the following of what I could recall. "Where the greatest fighters from all over the world come to compete to prove their worth at the Collaboration Colosseum; a place where competitors show their strength in the arena. We value camaraderie, courage and integrity above all. If you have these qualities, you are more than welcome to partake in the arena for the prize that is in store for you." When I read the amount of won on the paper, I couldn't resist the offer. "WIN: ₩8,484,939.39!" And that is how I joined the tournament.
