Kang Min reached for his face, expecting the familiar touch of something hard.
His hand met bare skin.
"Right..the kid."
He stayed silent for a moment, his hand still hovering near his jaw.
"It's okay."
He said, his expression settling back.
"I have my reasons for leaving it with him..."
With a sigh that was more about the inconvenience than the loss, he tapped a few commands into the holographic air, summoning the System Shop.
「"Search: Vanity Items. Sub-category: Masks."」
Kang Min flicked through the holographic shop window, the blue light of the interface washing over his bare face.
A list of options materialized in the air, each one displayed.
[System Shop: Cosmetic Masks]
『The Gilded Lion』: A heavy, gold-plated mask with a mane of stiff metal wires. The eyes are rubies that pulse with a faint light, giving the wearer a regal, predatory appearance.
