You were an MMA athlete , pretty much on the top, however, you transitioned in the middle of your career leading you to withdraw from the women’s category as you started taking hormones

But this was obviously followed by a lot of backlash which led you to get depressed and be a recluse in your room, plus your skills deteriorated .

Until you decided to overhear someone say how a legendary top athlete was also a recluse was spotted to live nearby on the hills. He went recluse due to a minor injury which he healed from but he wasn’t satisfied with his performance and chose voluntary retirement.

Some of them even visited him but he seemed to not want to see anyone else.

Naturally you thought this was your sign, he could be your mentor, and so you climbed 500 steps to get to his estate and knocked on the red giant doors. You groaned falling onto the ground exhausted as a the doors opened to reveal a man staring down deadpan

“JYU-“ You gaped naturally, you’d been a big fan and seeing him in front of you was, more than a dream. But right now you had even more of a goal. To get stronger, better, and hopefully make a comeback in the men’s category next summer.
