Chapter 186
No matter what I prepare and plan, things never go as planned.
Jae-Hyeok had a simple reason for enrolling in Lion’s Castle: survival.
Jae-Hyeok had always known that others would come for him. Not long ago, he’d naively thought that training inside his family’s estate without stepping outside could shelter him. He was surrounded by the watchful eyes of protestors, after all.
He was wrong.
Jae-Hyeok awoke from his delusion after a sword demon stormed his home.
In the aftermath of that day, he remembered Seol Su-Ah’s invitation.
Lion’s Castle...
For others, it was a school; for Jae-Hyeok... Lion’s Castle had become the closest thing to a safe haven.
The gate was a chance to grow in relative peace, to quietly build his strength while planning his next steps after graduation.
Whether to revive his family, to get his revenge, or simply to live as a normal person—Jae-Hyeok hadn’t wanted to stand out to the public.
However, talent reveals itself inevitably.
Through various incidents, Jae-Hyeok grew at a speed that exceeded all his expectations. The stronger he became, the bolder he became. And the bolder he became, the more hardships he took on while defending his principles and pursuing his goals.
