## First Appearance

***Eun Ho*** (은호), the ***Fox Ancestral Master***, or **Ha Eun-Ho** (하은호), the main protagonist of the martial arts manhwa, “***Tales of A Shining Sword”***. Losing the woman he loved and committing a massacre for her, gave him a chance to become human.

He passed through the gate of his reincarnation by accumulating merit for a thousand years to abandon his immortal body…

Thus, starting a story of a Yokai who give up on his life and transformed to a human to live a limited life of a mortal being.

## Background

***The Fox Ancestral Master***, ***Eun Ho***, is the leader of the ***Fox Demons*** and the king of the ***Yokai Realm***. The truth is that he had never intended to become a King, but since he has been reigning for around 500 years, suppressing and defeating those who disturbed the promising and strong Fox Demons, they crowned him a “***King***”.

One day, he killed Bodhidharma and Jang Sam-Bong... He thought to himself that he was a pretty cold-blooded Yokai... Witnessing the tears of that brat's younger sister that looked like chicken poops... He couldn't understand why he felt so remorseful.

Seeing it's hard for her to hold on with life wherever she goes, he pondered why he shouldn't keep her by his side until the end of her days. Fortunately, she seemed to grasp his intentions and her own circumstances quite clearly. Perhaps that's why she accepted his suggestion to reside in the Yokai World without much resistance... And she adapted swiftly amidst the violent Yokai day by day. He found himself helplessly captivated by her appearance. Even though she was prohibited from being around him, he felt a sense of tranquility—a calmness he could never achieve in his Yokai life—just by gazing at her.

He truly loved her... Until one day, he found her brutally killed by the Yokai... The bastard who knew yet didn't do anything... The bastard who was unintentionally involved with it... The bold fearless... Anyone who had the slightest involvement with her death. And even the people close to them could not escape his wrath... Their blood was scattered throughout the Yokai Realm without a moment to dry.

He thought that he might feel a bit better if he killed them all but... His heart is still full of resentment, and it keeps beating... Just when he fell into despair and lost his will to live, an unexpected presence came to help him after taking pity on him. The existence which helps keep all the living things in the world from losing its path from the bridle of fate... It was *"Tathagata".*

***Tathagata*** offered to Eun Ho to becoming a human... At first, he thought, "what the hell is he saying?"... However, when he thought deeply about it, he could escape the tedious life of a yokai, and he couldn't think of a single reason to reject the offer. Perhaps it's better to live and die as a human being than killing himself... "***Tathagata!*** Turn me into a human being!"... Of course, it wasn't free... He must live without committing evil for a thousand years and atone for the sins he has committed.

For Yokai who have no life span and are immortal, time is just like a cloud in the sky, it may be a cloud but... If you count the years to pass it may not have been as easy, when he thought he would spend his days accumulating merit... A thousand years is a long time. The condition given by ***Tathagata*** seemed like such a long time ago.

The thought of giving up crossed his mind so many times as he wondered if it was okay for him to do this for a thousand years to turn into a being with a lifespan of less than a hundred years... By thinking of his bet with ***Tathagata*** as a matter of his pride, he could luckily endure all the hardships and the thoughts that came to his mind.

A Thousand Years has past, and as the last thing to do before transforming to a human, he gave ***Tathagata*** his ***Fox Bead**,* the manifestation and the crystallization of his accumulated Spiritual Power cultivated diligently over his life.

His life as a monster had continued to weigh down on him with each passing moment... But he felt very light and happy after finally discarding it. With the help of ***Tathagata*** he ended up becoming a human and will live as a human... His story is just getting started.
