Sennin, a person who can transform into an animal.
The novel ‘The Black King’ was a fantasy novel and also a story about a creature with the ability to turn into an animal.
I wondered why I included the element of a creature with this ability, and after thinking it over carefully, I suppose the author wanted to make the protagonist’s past miserable.
Unlike the Gallan royal family, where all members were golden lion creatures, the protagonist was a prince but not a golden lion creature.
The protagonist, Lavian Caharde Gallan.
He was a half.
Born as a hybrid between the emperor, a golden lion creature, and a human courtesan, the half was a malformed black lion creature.
Unlike the golden color symbolizing the ruler, the black lion’s dark, almost ominous appearance was so repulsive that it seemed oppressive. It was considered cursed and was abandoned immediately after birth.
Thanks to that, the half had an unhappy childhood, but among those hardships, there was one ray of light.
That was his half-brother, the Fourth Prince, Zeroth.
From that moment on, the half vowed to make Zeroth the emperor of his homeland, Gallan.
However, unfortunately, Zeroth’s saving the half was merely driven by arrogance and curiosity of the privileged.
Unaware of this, the half helped Zeroth ascend to the throne with terrifying competence.
As a result, Zeroth gradually became afraid of the half. And then, he envied him.
So he tried to kill the half just before he could sit on the throne.
But the half narrowly escaped with his life, burning with revenge, and later, he led a rebellion and became emperor.
That’s as far as I’ve read in Part 1…
The hardships faced by the Lacan family start from the fact that the half isn’t very lenient.
Did readers call the half that?
A Benz, though it is a Benz—an unstoppable Benz.
He is quite the protagonist, but his personality is extremely twisted. The moment he ascended to power, he purged his influence.
He exterminated all the key ministers of the Gallan Empire, all four of them.
The first was the Lycan family.
The reason? Because Zeroth was loyal to him when he sat on the throne.
That’s nonsense. If it were any other family, maybe, but the Lycan family was not loyal to that scoundrel.
Loyal silver wolves only served the empire for its people, not Zeroth.
Yet, despite knowing this, the half personally annihilates the Lycan family.
What was it again? Did I say I don’t care?
“Woof…”
I lay in bed, making a weak crying sound.
Blinking my eyes, I looked out the window and saw the morning sunlight descending over the horizon.
When I lost consciousness and opened my eyes, I was lying on a large bed.
A day had passed.
“Woof… Woof…”
By then, everything had already been sorted out in my mind—my past life’s memories, Ichel’s memories, and even the future depicted in the original story.
‘Huh… Anyway, absorbing someone else’s memories is really…’
It was a strange experience.
Fragments of unfamiliar scenes swirled around in my mind, like puzzle pieces fitting together, until finally, I felt as if I had always been Ichel from the beginning.
Yes. In other words, I was now simply Ichel. Only, Princess Ichelian Licanstroff, who now possessed the memories of Korea.
But most importantly, I was about to be completely ruined.
“Grrng…”
Currently, Zeroth has already ascended to the position of crown prince.
In that case, it’s certain that I, the half, am abandoned by Zeroth and wandering somewhere.
So, to prevent the extinction of my family, I must find the half, turn him to our side, and do whatever it takes before Zeroth turns his back on us and I become emperor…
‘Before that!’
I needed to become a human first.
“Woof.”
