When people tried to fulfill some kind of goal, they gathered their hands together and fervently prayed. As civilization developed, such behavior developed in various directions and went beyond mere rituals. For example, one such method was creating items containing prayers. A talisman could be seen as one of them. Chi-Woo often watched his mentor draw talismans with curious eyes. Although they never inquired deeply about each other, Chi-Woo knew that his mentor was no ordinary person. Otherwise, all kinds of famous and influential people wouldn’t come and kneel down to ask for his help.0

Among them, some asked for his mentor’s talisman. Every time this happened, his mentor would snort and chase them out, but when it couldn’t be helped, he would draw a talisman for them; not one drawn with great effort, but a quick scribble that took a couple seconds. Seeing this, Chi-Woo often wondered if his mentor had simply doodled something and given it out as a talisman because he found them bothersome. Chi-Woo also thought the same when his mentor gave him the talismans of White Horse General and Indra’s Divine Retribution, saying he should keep them just in case. Wondering why his mentor had given him the talismans so begrudgingly, Chi-Woo had asked if they really worked, and his mentor hadn’t just made a random doodle.0

[Why are you giving it to me so begrudgingly? Come on, would it have killed you to just give it to me with a smile?]0

[You ungrateful punk!]0

[Agh! Why are you hitting me!]0

[I gave it to you out of sincere concern, but what did you say? Give it back!]0

[No! And it’s true. It took less than a minute for you to draw it.]0

[Geez, why does the time it took me to draw a talisman matter?]0

[Uh…of course there’s no set rules, but the other masters stay up many nights to draw theirs, and in extreme cases, it takes them more than a month.]0

[It’s because those guys are weak....0
