The Novel’s Villain

was the case, Jin-Woo felt relieved.
So far, it seems he has yet to cause a drastic action that’d cause his death.
But… who’d have thought he was highly well known.
Even the media was crawling to capture a shot of him.
There is even a media team dedicated to highlighting the life of Lee Jin-Woo.

‘This is a bit similar to celebrities being followed everywhere by paparazzi in my world.
I’d call them stalkers.’

So far, Lee Jin-Woo lived a pretty normal life, aside from being rich.
He played mobile games in his spare time and drowned himself in movies and dramas when not working.
He had even promoted Hollywood Star John Cruise’s movie in Korea when he came to visit.

Though it was an international sport, in reality it was disguised as war.

Only

‘It’s a real subtle war, all right.’

The shift from modern warfare to this was far too great.

Guilds qualified to compete in the international competition were called ‘knights’.

Each guild in Korea was keen on producing talents.

They’d be above the law similar to the Front Lines.

The Front Lines Group owned three of the world’s largest gates.

And such, in this world, citizens would give multitudes of support to talents who risked their lives to participate in the international competitions for their country’s national interests.

‘…wow, I can see why people would go crazy over that.’
