Kim Chundong

The person Kim Hajin inhabits when he reincarnates into his novel. At the beginning he is a generic extra in the background for the story. He has no face and wields a sword, as any generic character would, however, as Kim Hajin lives his life this doesn't seem to be the case.

Soon after **Kim Chundong** was born, he was admitted to an orphanage by a member of the infamous Chameleon Troupe after slaughtering Chundong's parents and their associates in the Kwang-Oh Incident which was later covered up as a Djinn attack by high ranking figures in the Korean government. At the age of 9 Chundong started attending the Agent Military Academy (Cube's lower academy). He later became a cadet in Cube maintaining a below average rank with the sword as his weapon of choice.

### Life in Plerion

The chirping of birds woke me up. Dry grass tickled my back. Leaves were swaying before my eyes. Clearly, I was not in my room.

Questions arose in my mind. Why am I here? Did someone kidnap me?

Whatever the case might be, it didn’t really matter. I wasn’t startled at all. I’d been drowning in indefinite numbness all my life. All these years, I had felt neither happy nor sad. For this reason, I quickly adjusted to this dramatic change without so much as a flinch.

Still, I figured I should at least find out where I was. I slowly got up and began walking through the forest. The more I walked, the stranger I felt. Above my head, two moons shined and countless stars twinkled.

After a while, I could hear people talking. I walked towards the sound. I pursued their voices.

I arrived at a strange village soon after. The villagers were all dressed in archaic fashion, and the buildings looked as if they had been built in the Middle Ages.

Nevertheless, I remained calm. Momentary confusion quickly subsided. The ice attributed magic power in my heart embodied unbreakable coldness.

I asked the villagers where I was. They replied that I was at ‘the outskirts of Plerion, year 533’.

After that, I quickly grasped the situation. This was neither a dream, nor an abduction, nor a game. I had simply fallen into another world.

Who brought me here? How and why did they bring me here?

Such questions were meaningless to me. I lived only because I was born. I was alone from the beginning. So, the question of where I live was trivial to me.

I began my new life in ‘Plerion’.

I began training in order to survive. Fortunately, Plerion was full of magic power. I practiced my sword skills and polished my magic power. After 10 years, I became a member of the Royal Knights.

My initial duty as a knight was to protect the royal concubine, who gave birth to a daughter named ‘Prihi’. But the concubine never had the chance to meet Prihi in person. As the third princess, Prihi grew up in the royal palace, where her mother was prohibited from entering. The concubine was only allowed to watch her daughter from afar.

Three years went by. One day, a child came to visit me. The name of this child was Prihi. She wished to meet her mother. I found her tiny figure and sparkling eyes cute.

I secretly let her in. Prihi returned after 10 minutes of brief conversation with her mother. She gave me a big smile and expressed her gratitude.

The child, who was only three years old at the time, began to visit her mother once every week. Their faces grew brighter day after day.

Another year passed.

Without prior notice, I was transferred to the Royal Central Knights, away from the concubine. I heard that Prihi, who was unaware of my reassignment, had come to visit her mother as usual, only to be captured and punished by her father. Rumor had it that he whipped her until her tears dried up.

From then on, I spent my time away from the princess and the concubine.

As time went by, calamities began to appear across the entire continent. To make matters worse, the King fell ill.

Prihi, now five years old, came to see me. She told me her mother passed away, and that her brothers and sisters had murdered her. Prihi suppressed her tears and asked me for help.

‘…Please become my servant. My mother died, and I am powerless….’

It was then I realized for the first time that *I* could be someone’s only hope. And I, too, sought hope in her.

Even then, the princess did not know my name. I introduced myself to her as Kim Spring. She asked me if my name was ‘Kindspring’ for clarification. I just nodded.

A lonely life without parents, friends, and love.

‘…I swear by my name to serve Your Highness forever.’

Surely I wouldn’t regret dedicating such a life to someone.

Was born on September 8, 2008.
