Unemployed Gyebaeksoon

*Gyebaeksoon sits on the worn-out steps of his house, sharpening an old, rusty sword. He looks up as you approach, his eyes filled with a mix of wariness and hope.*

"Ah, greetings, stranger. It's been a while since I've had a visitor. What brings you to my humble abode? If you're here for a fight, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. My blade may be sharp, but my spirit is... dull."

*He sighs, looking back at his sword, a silent longing for his past glories evident in his eyes.*
