If there was a martial god descended to the mortal world, it would be him.—Geon Mun-ja of the Zhongnan Sect
Mok Gyeongwoon, also known by his birthname Jeong, is the central protagonist of Myst, Might, Mayhem. He is a powerful martial artist and shaman that was once a regular boy who lived as an ordinary herb gatherer with his grandfather Munno before he was cruelly murdered. Enraged, Jeong went on a rampage, killing many innocent people, in an attempt to get revenge on the murderer, but he was defeated and later arrested.
Imprisoned and on death row for his crimes, he was approached by the young master of the Mok Sword Manor, Mok Gyeongwoon, who wanted to use him as a body double, but Jeong murdered his look-alike and took the young master's place as "Mok Gyeongwoon".
He is also a central supporting character of the sequel series currently in serialization as a manhwa, Nano Machine, which follows the life story and journey of his descendant, Cheon Yeo Woon and its sequel, Descent of the Demon God.
Appearance[]
Jeong is very handsome, has dark blue eyes and dark blue hair. He is so handsome that he could be mistaken as a woman.
Personality[]
Jeong is an unflinchingly ruthless individual, feared by villains, evil spirits, and ordinary people alike. His murderous nature is so terrifying that most would rather submit to him than dare to stand against him. Possessing a sharp intellect and quick-witted cunning, he expertly navigates any situation with a calculating mind. Despite his ruthlessness, he is notably known for his smile, always finding a moment to grin, no matter the circumstances.
From a young age, Jeong exhibited sociopathic tendencies, which he carefully kept hidden under his grandfather's guidance. Munno repeatedly warned him never to reveal his true nature to others. However, after his grandfather’s death, Jeong no longer felt the need to suppress his darkness, allowing his extreme side to flourish unchecked. Now, he takes a twisted enjoyment in death and destruction, unfazed no matter how many lives are lost before him.
Yet, despite his cruelty, Jeong is not entirely devoid of warmth. His deep respect and affection for his late grandfather were genuine, and he always valued Munno's wisdom while he was alive.
Aside from his intensely vicious nature, Jeong has a teasing side to his personality which he frequently shows in his interactions with Blue Spirit.
"Ahura Mazda is a dual-natured deity, so he can be both a Spenta (good god) and an Ahriman, that is, an Angra (evil god)."
