Overgeared

A continent ruled by four kingdoms. The reason why the situation on the East Continent was unchanged for so long was simple. The resources and talents of the four kingdoms were too plentiful. It was no wonder since only four kingdoms shared a land that was the same size as the West Continent. Since all four kingdoms made steady progress and were vigilant against each other, it was difficult to change the structure of power.

“...!”

At the Cho Kingdom’s capital, Kars...

The soldiers of the outer gates, who were thoroughly vigilant as soldiers of the Cho Kingdom, knelt in amazement. Step. Step. The sound of a god’s footsteps got closer. The soldiers bowed so their foreheads touched the ground and the people who belatedly realized the situation also bowed.

“...”

Once a god crossed the gates, a red curtain was laid around the area. There wasn’t the smallest breath from the street that had been crowded just a moment ago. The yangban Garam—as usual, he came unannounced and paralyzed the nation’s capital. The soldiers and the people prayed.

May God bless us and bring us luck in the future.

It was just unfortunate.

Step. Step. Step.

Garam didn’t respond to the public’s prayers. No, he didn’t even see them. Garam’s transcendent vision only gazed at the entrance of the palace in the distance.

‘I’ll show you that you’re just dogs.’

One of the Hwan Kingdom’s unwritten rules was to not harm the royal family of the four kingdoms. They had considerable influence on the people and it was important to maintain their honor and fear toward the Five Seniors and the yangbans. However, today Garam was trying to break the unwritten rule. They were the ones who crossed the line first.

‘Impertinent guys.’

Garam’s finely combed hair fluttered. Today, he didn’t have it in a topknot. He didn’t reveal his left ear that had been cut off by Grid.

...Grid! Grid!! Grid!!!

He knew the fact that this force that was protecting that bastard was insignificant but he couldn’t forgive the Cho king. Garam’s footsteps became faster and faster when his eyes lit up. A column of fire shot up from behind the walls that surrounded the palace. The momentum was so great that the clouds evaporated and the blue sky glowed.

“...?”

Garam couldn’t understand the situation. At first, he denied the precursor to the ‘impossible.’ However, it was only for a moment. He soon accepted the situation.

“You can’t go forward anymore.”

It had never happened since he became a subject of faith. The soldiers and people of the Cho Kingdom, who had never stood in Garam’s way, now gathered closely to block him. They even raised their heads and gazed into his eyes.

“Hah...”

Garam watched the foolish people stepping on his shadow and burst out laughing.

“The more inferior you are, the more faithful you are to your instincts.”
