    Reader note

    Urban fantasy + high martial arts + superpowers + action-packed ensemble cast [Reflection] The character of the wealthy young man is very realistically portrayed. He has a carefree personality and loves to wander around and hunt for ancient books. He seems like a spoiled brat who loves to play, but in reality, he is kind-hearted. As a child, he always hid from his strict father in a bookstore, and over the years, he has been grateful for the care he received from the old shop owner. He can see that the protagonist has an extraordinary temperament and unfathomable experience, but he doesn't forcefully pry into the protagonist's background. He always maintains a proper distance in their interactions, and naturally becomes the protagonist's first friend in the modern world.
