## Presentation

One of the first awakened by the Ring of Rebirth and a King without Subjects who succefully becomes a Sovereign. His symbol is a Black Flag make from something that looke like the clothes of a death god.

He is recognize as the strongest Earthling Sovereign and of the first one to have colonize a land.

During 2 years of ruling 10 000 persons his speech has become better and Choi Hyuk became known as the Berserk Sovereign.

## Personality

Choi Hyuk was basically crazy since his birth. But the inheritence of his mother, her patience, made him just like a slightly fiercer warrior. The truth is that when this patience is gone and that the hell in his mind come back to him he becomes literally insane. He can control his state of mind and is not control by his madness.

*SoJ Episode 9 Chapter 143 :*

If there was someone with doubts, he would slice off their doubts, and if there was someone who was becoming greedy, he would cut off their greed. He would slice not flesh or bones but their hearts.

Although his thoughts were complicated, the conclusion was simple.

He would slice what was necessary, whether it was one’s heart or soul. He was confident in slicing things.

## Talent

Choi Hyuk’s fighting talent was composed of three elements: the ability to see through his opponent’s weakness, no matter who it was,  the ability to perfectly execute any attack he envisioned to pierce his opponent’s weakness, and lastly, a ferocity that could crush his
opponents with his vigor alone.  These three talents perfectly suited the three karma traits known as Mind’s Eye, Identical Mind, and Explosive Blood. They literally formed a trinity.

## Quotes

#### *SoJ Episode 2 Chapter 19 :*

Baek Seoin asked.“But leader, why are you trying to hunt the Wyvern of Destruction?”

“Because I need to get the attention of the ones who created this game.”

“… Is there anything good in catching their attention? Normally staying in the middle is the best.”

“I don’t know if my mom is alive or not. Kangdong District closed down at 10:30am. She should have been at work. I need to go to her workplace in Kwangjin District.”

“… Hopefully, she’s okay… But what does that have anything to do with catching their attention?”

“Once I confirm if she’s dead or alive, I have to either protect or avenge her. For that, I need to become stronger and more unique.”

Choi Hyuk was calm.

Like a criminal on death row accepting the verdict.  No… like a judge who raised his gravel to announce the verdict. He rid himself of useless emotions and only looked at the result.

#### *SoJ Episode 4 Chapter 66 :*

“From now on, people are going to piss their pants when they hear ‘Ber’.”

#### *SoJ Episode 5 Chapter 71 :*

Choi Hyuk was one of those devils. He desperately wanted the successful completion of the mission, but he wasn’t good-natured and his method of handling people wasn’t good. To them, this was a tragedy.

#### *SoJ Episode 5 Chapter 77 :*

When he opened his eyes and looked straight at his enemies, his eyes were dyed with hostility.
The hostility turned into rage.

The rage then turned into madness, and the madness left behind ashes, returning back into emptiness and despair.

#### *SoJ Episode 5 Chapter 80 :*

“Jinhee nuna. What do you think is the power that maintains the Berserkers?”In reality, the group known as Berserkers made no sense. They didn’t offer large benefits or convenience like other sovereigns gave to their clan members. They didn’t attempt to protect normal civilians either. Instead, they only participated in fights in which their clan members’ lives were always at risk. The Berserkers were lunatics who harmed normal people, let alone protect them. Their reputation was the worst. Their enemies were everywhere. Even still, the Berserkers could maintain their group. Even still, the Berserkers were influential and had an endless stream of new recruits. What was the reason?

“It is because we do not lose.”

Choi Hyuk said,

“I cannot give my followers wealth and honor. I cannot make rational deals like other sovereigns. I cannot protect the vast number of non-clan members well. The reason why people follow me despite all this is because I do not lose. I can only give them one thing. Endless victory. When I don’t lose even once, and once their assurance in my victory becomes deep-rooted in them, then, even if my opponent is the entire Flame Wing Alliance, people will trust and follow me. That is my goal.”

Choi Hyuk’s eyes flashed like a maniac’s.

#### *SoJ Episode 6 Chapter 100 :*

“We lost everything. Because we lost everything, we have no weaknesses. Because we know all too well that we lost everything, we won’t be fooled by your illusions. When we acted like we were fooled, you quickly showed your true colors. Thanks to that, we were able to end it quickly.”

#### *SoJ Episode 6 Chapter 105 :*

However, Choi Hyuk’s judgment was different.
He called Baek Seoin in a low voice.

“Baek hyung.”

Hearing the weight carried in his voice, Baek Seoin quickly looked at Choi Hyuk’s eyes. They were chilly. Baek Seoin felt his spine shiver. Then he realized once again.

‘Ah… Right. Our leader isn’t right in the head.’

Choi Hyuk said,

“That’s a method Richard is good at, but we are Berserkers.”

Each of Choi Hyuk’s words stabbed into Baek Seoin’s heart. Choi Hyuk, who lacked administration and political skills, left Baek Seoin to govern most matters. However, it eventually fell onto Choi Hyuk, who was an overseer, to make the decisive judgment and decide their ultimate aim.

And Choi Hyuk’s aim wasn’t justice, only revenge.

“I don’t need tens of millions of people who are going to make their
own judgments. I only need crazy warriors who can raise their swords at death. What’s the point if we are large in number? You know how strong our enemies are. When we fight them, how many of the tens of millions will be able to wield their swords?”

#### *SoJ Episode 7 Chapter 122 :*

Choi Hyuk said,
“Commander, I’m not fighting to protect someone.”

Mack couldn’t reply. Only, she thought that even Choi Hyuk himself might be included in that ‘someone’.

#### *SoJ Episode 8 Chapter 127 :*

Richard too placed the Exalted Wings as his final goal. He was similar to Choi Hyuk in this respect. However, he was someone who dreamed of the earthlings’ survival and prosperity in the end. He was different from Choi Hyuk as the only thing important to him was revenge. Contained in his heart wasn’t survival or prosperity. To him, the world had already fallen into ruin. Even if he dropped all the earthlings into the depths of hell, it didn’t matter as long as he could realize his revenge.

#### *SoJ Episode 8 Chapter 132 :*

“Don’t look at anything else. Don’t tarnish your heart. Whether we
are the same as them or not, and whether they were right or wrong isn’t important. Killing. Killing every fucking thing. Only this is important.”If they were still living in the peaceful world of the past, it was a declaration that would label him as a psychopath.

#### *SoJ Episode 8 Chapter 133 :*

Shiver.
Baek Seoin felt shivers run down his spine again.

He looked at Choi Hyuk, who was still sitting in front of him, in a new light.

The demon king was there.

#### *SoJ Episode 8 Chapter 134 :*

Earthlings picked Choi Hyuk and Bae Jinman as the oddest combination. Bae Jinman, who devoted himself to all lifeforms, didn’t seem suited for Choi Hyuk, who thought of lives like **insects**.

#### *SoJ Episode 9 Chapter 144 :*

Choi Hyuk realized,

‘I’m looking for the end.’

The end.

Choi Hyuk’s goal was the end. Eternity and immortality wasn’t his goal. For the story that had already ended, Choi Hyuk looked for another end. Choi Hyuk wished and wished for the end of those who ended his happiness. Of those that ended his happiness only so that they could prolong their end. The war, the alliance, and revenge, perhaps he wished for the end of everything, including himself. To end things. This was what Choi Hyuk was the best at. Always.

Perhaps this was the reason why Choi Hyuk was unusually strong. Since his goal was doomed even after obtaining the godly power of engraving his fate on the universe. While he wasn’t aware of it, he always intended to die one day. Because he did, he could kill those who were stronger than him. Perhaps it was because he was prepared to die that he could kill those who did whatever they could to live.

Choi Hyuk’s fate of ‘never losing’ and ‘slashing without fail’ might also be so strong because he had set an end, like how a star created a supernova, shining brighter than anything, upon its death.

Because of this, Choi Hyuk didn’t hate the defeated who had died while fighting. Instead, he felt at peace amongst them. He ridiculed and hated those who considered themselves as victors and those who were certain they wouldn’t die because they were strong.

‘I’ll slash them. I’ll end them. I’ll turn them into nothing.’
