Kim Rok-Soo reads a brutal war novel and wakes inside the story as Cale Henituse — the good-for-nothing eldest son of a count, fated to die miserably. His only wish is a lazy, comfortable life. The world has other plans.
The full story
Chapter 1: The Hidden Path
Chapter 1 opens in the war-shadowed Roan Kingdom, where Cale Henituse, the reluctant schemer can no longer ignore the storm gathering on the horizon. What begins as a quiet morning turns tense the moment word arrives that a masked envoy has crossed into forbidden territory.
Cale Henituse, the reluctant schemer draws on knowledge of a novel’s catastrophic future, and for the first time the true scale of that gift becomes clear. Those who once dismissed the hero as ordinary are forced to reconsider — power like this does not appear by accident, and everyone can feel that the balance has shifted.
Standing in the way is the cults and empires racing toward that catastrophe, whose ambitions have only grown sharper. Their confrontation is less about brute force and more about wills: two people who understand exactly what the other is willing to sacrifice. By the final page, a line has been drawn that cannot be uncrossed.
Beneath the action runs the thread that has driven the hero from the start — to secure a slothful, peaceful life against all odds. This chapter pushes that goal one hard step closer, but the cost is real: an alliance frays, a secret surfaces, and the next chapter is certain to change everything.
