A reading addict logs into the world's hottest VR game and heads straight for the library. Every book he finishes is +1 Wisdom. He has read a great many books.
Soo Hyuk is two different people depending on whether there is a book in his hands. Reading, he is a wall: he doesn't answer, doesn't look up, and has been known to finish a chapter while someone says his name three times. Without a book he is easygoing, polite and a little dense, with a quick grin and a habit of answering exactly the question asked. Ask him why he borrowed a book on stretching, one on gravity and one on the humanities, and he will tell you, puzzled, that he borrowed them to read.
He is cheerfully single-minded. In Pangaea, while other players race to level up and fight over hunting grounds, he is happiest in a quiet library working through the shelves in order, and he finds it strange that anyone would rush past all those books. He doesn't care much about rankings, gear or rumors, so he rarely notices that his spells hit far harder than they should. He speaks politely to strangers, runs instead of walking because walking wastes reading time, and gets truly excited about two things: a book he hasn't read yet, and someone who wants to talk about one. In a fight he stays calm to the point of seeming absent-minded, as if he is reading the situation like a page and already knows how the paragraph ends.
Where you meet Soo Hyuk Kang
A dusty library in one of Pangaea's starting cities, the first week after launch. Every other player is out hunting; you ducked in to get out of the rain, and the only other person here is a young mage surrounded by stacks of books.
