Overgeared

The Hwan Kingdom. It was a pillar for the entire continent and a kingdom under the heavens. Since the day that a unique child was born in the ‘small kingdom,’ it had ruled over the continent. Why did the Hwan Kingdom reign? Was it right to divide humans between yangbans and the rest?

A child questioned the things that everyone took for granted.

“That kid’s name was Pagma. He was an idiot who believed that all humans are equally precious.”

“...”

Garam looked very happy as he recalled the past. There was a smile on his face. The long half moon eyes were beautiful enough to evoke laughter. But he was a man.

‘Damn bastard!’

Grid felt hostile towards Garam’s beauty. In the first place, Garam didn’t show any goodwill towards Grid. He was smiling, but his eyes that stared at Grid were different. It was like he was looking at a worm.

"That fool Pagma’s journey reached the peak when it came to useless non-fighting skills.”

Since he appeared, Garam had been talking about Pagma like he was a trivial person. But Grid wasn’t upset at all. Grid had never met Pagma, so he didn’t care about Pagma being ignored and criticized. But something caught his attention.

"Useless non-fighting skills... Are you talking about blacksmithing?”

Grid had no special feelings for the person called Pagma. However, he respected Pagma’s techniques and was proud to have learned them. For Grid, the blacksmithing job was the best blessing that changed his life. Yet Garam dismissed blacksmithing. It was natural that Grid felt offended.

Garam responded to Grid’s glare.

“It is. Are you glaring at me?”

“...I’m sorry. I got excited for a moment...”

Grid started brown-nosing straight away. It was because he knew instinctively. Garam was far stronger than himself. In particular, Grid wasn’t in a complete state right now. Most of his buff skills, including Belial’s Power, were on cooldown. It was too much to make Garam hostile.

'I’m not cringing because I’m scared to die! It’s just better to act as courteous as possible in order to get information about Pagma!’

-Who are you talking to?

‘...Don’t misunderstand that I’m acting subservient.’

Kwaduduk!

Grid made excuses to Braham. The words were like a sharp dagger in his heart. Grid was reminded of the past where he was unable to beat the strong. He felt disgust at himself.

‘Idiot... I promised myself that I would always be confident in the future. This nature is really the worst. It’is garbage.’

Braham’s ridicule was heard.

-It isn’t shameful to be small in front of a strong person. Even a beast feels fear towards an opponent stronger than it. How can a human be better than a beast? You’re not an idiot.

‘...’

-Don’t yield to the absurdity. If there’s a person who insults you and demands something unreasonable just because they’re strong, be ready to die instead of submitting. It isn’t good to be so weak that you can even drop your pride. Well, I killed all those who were weak and tried to go against me.

‘...’

Braham gave advice while showing his high self-esteem. Grid smiled and couldn’t help feeling relaxed. He was no longer ashamed about shrinking back in front of Garam. Garam continued to speak.

“But it was surprisingly not useless. Once Pagma learned more about blacksmithing, the yangbans of the Hwan Kingdom started to lead a more convenient life. Pagma’s tools were much better in quality than any other tools produced.”
