He gets chased away from the gate early in the morning.

Choi Han headed in the direction he remembered hearing about from the villagers after he finished burying all of his beloved villagers. He was heading toward Western City.

Choi Han had been transported to this world when he was a freshman in high school, but he had lived here for tens of years already. Of course, the fact that most of that life was spent trying to survive in the Forest of Darkness made him mature in a slightly twisted way, and, as such, he was more rational than anybody would expect after such an incident.

I need to go report this to the lord at the castle.

Harris Village may have been a remote village, but it was still under Count Henituses jurisdiction. That was why Choi Han headed to Western City, hoping to at least prepare a small funeral for the villagers.

He was also planning on looking for information regarding the assassins he had killed when he had lost his calm, as he was unable to ask them any questions. However, sending the dead off properly came before revenge.

If you think about it, he really is an affectionate person.

But losing all of the first people who showed him love after tens of years in the Forest of Darkness at once made it impossible for Choi Hans mind to not become twisted. In the novel, that was when Cale messes with Choi Han and touches a nerve. He remembered what the Cale in the novel said to Choi Han.

[Why should my father care whether or not some useless villagers are dead? This cup of alcohol in my hand is worth more than all of your useless lives combined.]

Choi Han starts to laugh at Cales words as he asks back.

[What an interesting thought. I am very curious to know whether you will change your mind or not.]

[Shall we test it out?]

That test was beating Cale to a pulp so that he was almost dead. The amazing thing was that Cale never changed his mind even after he was beaten to a pulp.

Ah, Im getting the chills.

Cale started to rub his arm after seeing the goosebumps that were developing. He quickly took a sip of the tea that Billos had brought for him. He then looked out the window once again, only to get the chills right back.

Its that punk.

The moment the gates opened for the morning, a young man wearing clothes with black marks everywhere, such that it made it seem like the clothes were burnt in multiple places, approached the gate. It was Choi Han.

Cale did not get up from his seat as he observed Choi Han.

His speed was admirable, as he ran like a lunatic through a distance that would normally take a carriage a week to travel, but, as a result, he looked like a mess. Of course, the events in the village were responsible for a bit of his messy look as well.

The guard blocked Choi Hans path as he walked in with his head down, looking completely exhausted. Cale didnt know what they were saying, but he could see Choi Han shake his head at the guards question.

Im sure theyre asking if he has any identification.

The guards of Western City were generally gentle, but they were strict when it came to the rules. They replicated their liege, Count Deruths personality.

They kicked him out.

As expected, Choi Han walked back out of the gate. He did not even throw a fit. After continuously running for a day, his slightly recovered conscience told him not to kill an innocent man.
