Chapter 376

**Choi Jung Gun** or Nelan Barrow (as was the name he went by in the world of "The Birth of a Hero") is Choi Han's youngest uncle who had transmigrated into the world of The Birth of a Hero before him at the age of 15.

## **Appearance**

According to a picture Choi Han had seen in his grandmother's house, Choi Jung Gun has an awkward smile and buzz-cut hair.

## **Personality**

Not much is known about Choi Jung Gun's personality but from his personal writings in his memoir, it is easy to deduce that after the battle with the Ancient White Star, he has become a regretful man, expressing his sentiments over how he wished he—as someone who had the lifespan of a dragon—fought with his life on the line, like many of his Guardian friends.

* Chapter 377: As Your Chapter Ends (4)

*[ I realized that I aged extremely slowly. It was to the point where I could live as long as the Dragons. However, I chose death—I created a sword with my remaining life force (Dragon Slaying Sword). I still think about it now. I wonder if we could have killed the White Star quicker and had fewer Guardians die if I had fought with my life on the line as well.*

*If I could return to the past, I would have fought to protect my friends, even if it cost me my life. ]*

## **Backstory**

According to Choi Han's father, Choi Jung Gun was going to the creek in their hometown with some friends before he suddenly vanished. Even when the Choi Family and the entire village set out to search for him, they couldn't find any trace of him.

The only reason Choi Han remembered the name of this uncle he had never met was because of his father. He had overheard his father drinking and chatting with his aunt while going to the restroom one night when they were visiting their grandmother. He had only heard the story once, however, he had not forgotten because it was quite a shocking story for a 6th grader.

Choi Jung Gun's memoir is located in his home in the Dragon Slayer Village, in which he wrote in both the Eastern Continent's language and in Korean, which he used to his advantage (since the Korean language is unknown there) to talk about more in-depth details about his knowledge.

His memoir was found after Cale Henituse and his group took the secret passage set in the Castle of Light, where they were led towards the underground village in order to search for Choi Jung Gun's home. Upon finding his house where time had stopped for 1,000 years, they came across the altar where his record book had been placed, detailing the reasons as to why the Ancient Times had to end, as well as containing the clues about the White Star's weakness and many other info about various things, (such as other Ancient Powers).

The record book could only be picked up by *"someone who can put the crown on their head."* At that time, Cale was the possessor of the White Crown—which he had previously picked up in the Forest of Darkness—and thus was able to lift it.

* Chapter 375: As Your Temper Dictates (2) :

*[ ‘Once the ancient times ended, the first Dragon Slayer started to record the reasons the ancient times had to end.’*

*The terrible deeds of the person who tried to become a god during ancient times. The story of the battle he fought against those who opposed him. It was said to be a record of everything. ]*

* Chapter 376: As Your Chapter Ends (3) :

*[ He could see the book on top of the altar.
This record book had survived for 10,000 years underneath this barrier.*

*He could see the title and author written on it.*

*‘The Birth of a Hero.
Nelan Barrow.’*

*It had the same title and author as the book that Kim Rok Soo had laughed at and read until volume 5. ]*

The Nelan Barrow who authored the novel, "*The Birth of a Hero,"* that Kim Rok Soo had read in South Korea, and the first Dragon Slayer who wrote the record book or memoir in the Dragon Slayer Village shared a namesake.

Nelan Barrow was also the child the Super Rock had saved during the final battle of the Ancient Times. During that battle that was fought by some of the strongest people, only Choi Jung Gun—the weakest person there—had survived.

## Powers

* White Crown
* Dominating Aura—according to Super Rock, *"a power that made him look strong in front of people and allowed him to trick them."* The Dominating Aura is useful for keeping the White Crown in check.
* Dragon Slaying Sword *(also known as the Sword of Destruction, or Sword of Disasters)*—an ancient power that Choi Jung Gun created by sacrificing the rest of his remaining life span. It was created for the purpose of fighting any people with the sky attribute ancient power that is trying to take over the world, and replicates the power of natural disasters *(volcanic eruptions, storms, and hail)*.

## Trivia:

* Ahn Roh Man tells Alberu that **Choi Jung Gun** stole Taerang from Earth 3.
* Alberu, Cale and Choi thinks that Choi Jung Gun is God of Death. Choi Jung Gun is also the 2nd owner of Taerang.
