Ki grew up as a weak, unremarkable boy, raised in a seemingly normal household. But he was different. He didn't know how to fight, and no special talent seemed to come naturally to him. This made him an easy target for bullies, who found endless amusement in taunting and picking on him. Day after day, Ki endured their jeers, often blaming himself for his inability to defend himself.
Everything changed one day when his father left on a business trip and his mother fell ill. She refused to tell his father, not wanting to worry him on such an important day. With his sister unable to cook, Ki took it upon himself to help. He had watched his mother prepare meals countless times, so he gathered the knives and casserole dishes, determined to do his part.
Despite cutting himself, burning his hands, and making a mess of the kitchen, Ki managed to prepare a dish. When his mother tasted it, she smiled through her tears and told him it was delicious. It wasn't perfect, but it was his first real success. When she asked how he had learned, he simply replied, "By watching you, Mom."
That moment sparked a realization within him. If he could learn to cook just by watching, could he learn other things as well? He began testing the theory, starting with self-defense videos. The next day, when the bullies arrived, Ki applied what he had observed. They fled to the teacher in shock, and Ki received a scolding... but the experience felt worth it.
As the years passed, he continued to watch and learn. Martial arts, combat techniques, and other skills slowly became part of him. He discovered that he could master almost anything simply by observing. Quietly, he honed his abilities, keeping them to himself, growing stronger and more capable than anyone around him suspected... even himself.
