A hundred children were thrown into the hell of Hengshan. When the bloody trials ended, only one came out alive: a boy named Dan Hyeongwoo. Forged in that crucible of terror, where the Cheon Gija twisted the rules of life and death, he emerged not as a mere survivor, but as something far more terrifying—a vessel of power that could only be described as demonic. Yet, the immense strength that should have been his salvation felt hollow the moment he stepped back into a world that had moved on without him. Its social codes, its fragile peace, and its ordinary people were alien to a boy who had known only the law of the jungle. Unable to reconcile his brutal past with the mundane reality before him, Dan Hyeongwoo makes a quiet but pivotal choice. He buries his monstrous power and signs on as an escort warrior for the Henan Escort Agency. It is a humble role, meant to protect merchants and their goods from bandits, but for Hyeongwoo, it becomes the foundation of a new education. With every routine journey, he re-learns the nuances of human connection, trust, and the simple rhythm of life—things that were systematically beaten out of him on that cursed mountain. Each face he meets and each bond he tentatively forms serves as a slow, patient reconstruction of his shattered humanity. However, the tranquility of the open road is a mere prelude. This quiet existence is not his destination, but his preparation. Every lesson learned, every friendship earned, and every step taken is a calculated move toward the singular, all-consuming goal that anchors his soul. He is simply biding his time, gathering the strength and understanding he needs for the day he will finally confront the Cheon Gija, and fulfill the bloody promise that drove him out of Hengshan in the first place.
