Body-implanted resin parents.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the body is inherited from one’s parents, so not even a single hair should be tampered with.

The name is like that too.

When parents give birth to a child, the first thing they give the child is a name that will stay with the child for the rest of his or her life.

But the man forgot the name.

If he didn’t forget, he couldn’t live unless he remembered his new name, ‘Kim Soe-horn’, as his own name.

If you didn’t forget your original name and think of Kim Soe-horn as your own name, you would have been murdered.

Someone protested to an official of the Joseon Union who told them to forget their name, saying, ‘Isn’t this the name of Chang’s name?!’ However, someone who couldn’t even remember his name was buried in a pile of dirt underground and became a white skeleton.

So he had to think of himself as Kim Soe-horn.

If you did not immediately respond to the name of an official calling you, you would be whipped, and if you wrote your name incorrectly, you would not receive even a single grain of rice as a ration that day.

From the moment I started forgetting my name, from the moment I started thinking of myself as Kim Soe-horn of the Joseon Union in order to survive.

One by one, he lost his memories of the outside world.

I forgot my own name, the names of the parents who gave me that name, even their faces and the places where I lived.

The only thing he remembers is the scars on his body from before he was kidnapped to this underground place.

The traces of my arm being burned in a fire in my apartment when I was young.

And his smile, happy that he was alive, even though his entire face was red and burned as he had to carry himself out of the fire.

I don’t even remember if it was my father or my mother.

I just remembered that it had happened.

I thought.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh…!”

Kim Soe-horn ripped out his head.

Inside the air pocket that was swept away by the water current, the purpose of the hand that was holding tightly to protect the head was no longer to prevent collision.

“I remembered, I remembered…!”

They say humans are animals of forgetfulness.

The bundle of memories that had to be buried beyond memory and that the Joseon Union should never have remembered in order to survive slowly began to unravel.

own name.

The face of the family.

13 years ago, as an employee of Haeguneul Food, I went on a business trip to China and stayed at a business hotel designated by the company. When I woke up, I even remembered the day when I woke up underground.

“Aaaah!!”

Kim Soe-horn, or rather Kim Joo-heon, teared out his head, shedding tears of joy.

“Owlhorn! Are you okay?”

Right next to me, in an air pocket flowing with the water current, a girl shouts.

The girl wearing the colored jeogori was born with this ability, but her ability was judged to be ‘Class E’ and she was a child of a noble family who barely escaped being demoted to a commoner.

“I am not Kim Soe-horn! It’s Kim Jooheon!”

“What…! What are you talking about! You’ve been a scum since I was born!”

“Everything is wrong! A man called a goblin said it! After passing here, you will be reborn! Same goes for you, Malja Choi!”

The girl, Choi Malja, raised her fist into the air pocket with a face filled with confusion.

“I don’t know what the hell is…! The person who murdered His Majesty the Lord is trying to save us…! And now it just keeps rolling along with the current…!”

“I said 2,000km! At that distance, if I am correct, it is at least the Korean Peninsula or Japan!”

“Where is it?! I’ve never heard of an area like that!”

“You’ll find out when you go! Last one, listen carefully! The world you leave here will be completely different from the one you knew! Yes, at least I think we went to a world ‘300 years in the future’!”

“Well, like that…!”

The last person’s eyes began to shake violently.

“Well, was there such a place? What is 2,000km?”

“Distance units!”

“Well, that can’t be possible. This is my first time hearing such a unit…! Apparently, in Seodang, the unit of distance is ‘ri’…!”

“Forget everything!! The only thing you can use outside is Hangul!”

“Ugh, ugh, my head…!”

Choi Mal-ja started tearing out his hair.

Gradually, something like purple energy began to flow from the girl’s body, which was filled with confusion.

“Ugh…?!”

“What the hell, am I…? Oh, no… If what I thought was true, then I have been…”

Even if a person with special ability is a child or even if he or she grew up in a limited environment, his/her intellectual ability is similar to that of an adult without ability.

“Growing up as a dictator’s weapon to dominate the outside world in a false country and a false world…!”

“If you go outside!!”

Kim Joo-heon shouted in a hurry.

“If you go outside, he will find a new name for you!”

“Name…?”

“Even if he had been trapped underground for 13 years, names like Malja or Sookhee would not have become popular outside! He’ll find a new name for you, don’t worry!!”

“Bird, name….”

The purple energy flowing from the body of the last person slowly began to subside.

“I promise!! Man, he was still an employee at a large company! I even bought a house in Seoul!! Don’t worry, he will go to the fortune teller and give you a good name! Outside…it’s not that scary of a world!”

“Is this true…?”

“Of course!!”

Kim Joo-heon himself knows it.

There is no place for the person who went missing 13 years ago to return to.

I don’t know what happened to my family, I don’t know if there’s still a place for me at Haeguneul Food, and my resident registration itself may have been marked as dead.

“This time, us…! No, trust the ‘adults’ out there who will help you…!”

At the very least, an adult cannot become weak in front of an anxious child.

“So, you get it! After arriving, it’s definitely a new world-”

Shootaaa!!

As he exited what looked like a hole, Kim Joo-heon fell down with an air pocket.

“Pugh?!”

The air pocket was cracked.

The air pocket disappeared as if time had run out and the destination had been reached.

“Apooh, apooh!”

Kim Joo-heon was submerged in muddy water.

Not only Kim Joo-heon but also the others who jumped out of the unidentified hole all escaped from the air pocket and fell into the water.

“Old man!”

Choi Mal-ja approached, swimming like an otter, and immediately grabbed Kim Joo-heon and pulled him upward.

“Thank you, thank you, chuckle…!”

“Is this outside? What the hell is this place…?!”

Kim Joo-heon, whose feet could not touch the floor, was barely able to catch his breath thanks to Choi Mal-ja, and barely recovered his vision by wiping his water-soaked vision with the back of his hand.

“This is…!”

“Are you okay?!!”

The voice of a young man.

Kim Joo-heon almost cried at the all-too-familiar tone of ‘Hyundai Seoul’.

“It’s okay….”

“Kim Bam! This way!”

“…….”

“Throw the rope! Get it quickly!”

A familiar name, but somewhat unfamiliar clothes.

Young men in clothes that looked familiar in some places but were unfamiliar overall were picking up people who had escaped from the air pockets from left and right.

“Ha, haha….”

Kim Joo-heon felt moved by the clothes that seemed so sophisticated, different from the frog-like military uniform he wore during his active duty days.

13 years.

The outside was a new world for him as well.

only.

“Damn, I’m so glad to see all the military uniforms…”

Kim Joo-heon realized.

That I escaped from Joseon, which was like hell.

Even if I don’t know how the outside world may have changed in those 13 years.

At least it would be better than hell.

last night.

The Korean Peninsula was clearly engulfed in fear and ricochet.

The defeat of three Korean men with S-class abilities.

The other two losses were also losses, but the community was especially upset by the criticism regarding Tusin being defeated by the Chinese superpower Cheonma.

How can you lose to the Heavenly Demon?

Losing to a traitor is like losing in a war between Korea and Japan.

As a man, isn’t it embarrassing to lose to a woman?

The level of criticism against Tushin gradually increased, but people were so shocked by the defeat that they did not know how to maintain their integrity.

Everyone fell asleep, filled with regret and resentment toward Tusin.

In the morning, the news will once again reflect on the results of the World Cup and provide analysis of the sudden intruders and the semi-final match in a few days.

A festival called the World Cup.

People would have greeted the morning like any other day, desperately hoping that Gwang Ik-gong, the only remaining Korean-born hero, would win.

however.

“Breaking news! Over millions of people discovered underground in Hwanghae Province! They are wearing clothes from the Joseon Dynasty…”

Due to the sudden breaking news, people were confused.

“No, what is this? Why are people suddenly popping out from underground in Hwanghae Province? What is it?!”

“Are there still leeches left? It’s not? What is it? What on earth?”

People who tried to chew tushin instead of rice grains in the morning fell into confusion.

“Suddenly there are 10 million refugees…?”

Without even a chance to curse Cheonma, tens of millions of refugees appeared overnight.

“Could it be the resurrection of the communist country…? No, crazy. You said you were digging a tunnel, and then you put people who disappeared from Pyongyang into it?”

“Hey! The government’s official announcement is out!!”

People paid all their attention to the president’s mouth on the podium in the live video.

[My fellow citizens. It may be confusing, but let me speak directly about the current situation. All of this….]

The President paused for a moment.

[It was a top-secret operation, led by Cheonma Lee Ye-ryeong, to eliminate the remnants of North Korea and rescue 10 million citizens kidnapped underground.]

He started mentioning ridiculous things that no one could believe.

[Washing is essential.]

“Ureee!!”

[…….]
