"Phantom Thief Kid. The public has branded him with many titles: the Gentleman Thief, the Magician Under the Moonlight, the Miracle Maker... yet not a soul knows his true face. His name, age, height, and even his gender remain an enigma. He is, without question, the most mysterious figure in the world." — Gotham Gazette "Gotham, Metropolis, Star City, Central City, Coast City... Phantom Thief Kid’s footprints span the globe. Nearly every renown superhero has attempted to apprehend him, yet none have succeeded. Not a single one!" — Daily Planet "I once dismissed Phantom Thief Kid as a mere burglar, but I was mistaken. His capabilities are esoteric and uncanny, and his motives remain obscure. While he may not be a villain in the traditional sense, his volatility poses a risk that could lead to catastrophic consequences." — Batman "I have to admit, I admire him. It takes a rare talent to wield slight-of-hand as if it were true sorcery. Sometimes, his illusions feel even more miraculous than the real thing." — Zatanna "The first time we met, he swiped my Power Ring right off my finger. I didn't even notice when he made his move." — The Greatest Green Lantern in History "Phantom Thief Kid? Oh, I loathe him! What’s that? You want to know why? Hah! Oh, for heaven's sake, what a foolish question. Tell me, would you fall in love with the person who stole your only playmate?" — Mr. J (Who wishes to remain anonymous) "Phantom Thief Kid is nothing but a despicable, shameless copycat! Gotham has room for only one criminal mastermind who utilizes riddles!" — ??? [Note: This is an unofficial translation.

Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power. Alongside this, Jurgen lived with an illness that affected his health and continuously interfered with his journey, adding another layer of strain to his existence and shaping the way he moved through the world. As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…
