TALES OF RUNETERRA: IONIAN
JHIN THE VIRTUOSO

Jhin is a criminal psychopath who thinks that killing is an art. Jhin was an Ionian prisoner freed by a notorious underground organization in Ionia. Jhin, from a serial killer now works there as an assassin. Armed with a rifle as his brush, Jhin makes his work with blood as his paint. His art shows have made him famous and feared as a name: terror.

For many years, the southern part of the Ionian region has always been haunted by a figure of the famous “Golden Demon”. In all corners of Zhyun province, a monster always finished off the explorers he found passing by, leaving behind only its corpse. Many warriors were recruited, reliable hunters sought from all over, even Wuju masters did not escape the messenger, but no one was able to bring good news.

In desperation, Zhyun's city council sends a group of people to persuade Great Master Kusho to help solve the problem. But Kusho has his own reasons why he can't help. But a week later, the master sent his son, Shen, and one of his proud disciples, Zed. They were sent to solve this problem by looking for clues to the existence of the monster in secret. Starting from visiting the homes of the families of the victims who were killed, they all did to investigate whatever brought them to the monster.

Their investigation took up to 4 years, and these three people had changed a lot. Kusho had grown old with his hair turning white, Shen who used to be a humorist was now so wry, then Zed, she said, a most talented student in college has now started to show things that make it feel like he wants to get out of college. In the middle of a mission to find the existence of the monster, the master said that “Good and evil are not absolute opposites. It all depends on each person who sees it in a different way.”

There have been many stories of the capture of this legendary monster. Seven times counted already with the last effort that became a sign of the history of Master Kusho. On the first day at Blossom Festival in the city of Jyom Pass, Kusho disguised himself as a painter and mingled with the artists present there. Then he waited. Everyone believes that only the devil is capable of this kind of crime, but Kusho knows that this is all the work of ordinary people. He who was nicknamed “Golden Demon” was actually a member of the opera theater who often moved around, with his real name commonly called Khada Jhin.

After a long time languishing in Tuula, Khada Jhin who turned out to be a shy tells a little about himself – but he still kept his name a secret. The astonishing thing is when the priests, even the prison friends think Jhin is a kind person with a holy heart who has a lot of expertise including forging weapons, to dancing. But that does not diminish the fate that Jhin has committed so many murders.

Outside the prison, Ionia was also in a precarious state as the Noxian kingdom carried out an invasion that had an impact on political instability. Fighting happens everywhere. The balance that Kusho had been trying to protect was out of control. This is what an underground group uses to free Jhin from prison and turn him into a weapon to spread terror.

This time, with Kashuri's well-equipped arsenal as well as an unlimited supply of money, “aksi” Jhin is getting out of hand. What has he done has left the whole of Ionia shrouded in fear, but until when will the serial killer act in the shadows of darkness?
