Inside, the cell was dimly lit by a single bulb overhead, looking exactly like any typical cell one would see in the movies. The space was narrow — two bunks, a sink, a small steel toilet in the corner.
However, the cell wasn't empty. Sitting on the lower bunk was a man, huge with muscles thick like cords under his tanned skin, and his arms covered in scars and faint tattoo lines that vanished under his sleeves.
As Sungjun entered after his anti-mana cuffs were removed, the man's eyes lifted slowly, and for a second, Sungjun thought he was looking at a bear. It reminded him of Grime, one of the eight generals of Pavel.
Meanwhile, the guard chuckled, giving Sungjun a forceful shove on his back. "Lucky you," he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "You just got assigned to the worst cell in the block."
