I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well - [Author: 다나 ]

Chapter 69

His name was Kell-Veron, with Kell being his surname and Veron being his given name. Spirits naturally had names from the moment they were born. Those born with the surname 'Kell' were very special.

[What's your last name?]

[My last name is Kell]

[Wow, is it really?]

Spirits celebrated the birth of a new Kell.

[Then, will you be the king of the spirits when you grow up?]

[Of course.]

[What kind of Spirit King do you want to be?]

[I'm going to be a great, powerful, and wonderful Spirit King.]

While his surname was indeed promising, many were worried about his given name.

[But your name is Veron?]

[Yes. Kell-Veron]

[I don't feel good about the name Veron.]

[Veron is a demon name.]

There were several names considered taboo among spirits, one of which was Veron. It was the name of a high-ranking demon who slaughtered spirits in the Demon War a long time ago.

It felt like an ill omen.

[The successor of the Kell line of noble spirits has the name Veron?]

[Aren't you going to become the terrible Blood Spirit King?]

The newborn spirit could feel it. The spirit world was not the place for him, and so he wanted to escape the fear and hatred from his peers.

Just in time, he saw the spirit door, and Kell-Veron threw himself out of it without any hesitation.

[I'm going to be a great Spirit King!]

Sadly, no spirit threw their support behind Kell-Veron. He wasn't saddened, though. He felt more motivated.

But then he felt a girl approach him. At first, he was curious about her. In his perspective, which was quite a bit different from how humans saw things, she looked like a friendly giant.

He decided to play tricks on her. Kell-Veron tried to read her memories and show her an illusion.

[Ugh!]

However, Kell-Veron could not control his body. There seemed to be a huge inhalation spell, and he was trapped in the girl's mind. Her spirit affinity was so high that even he was sucked in.

[Sa-save me!]

To survive, he had to break the girl's mindscape, or at least make a small gap in it. He searched for the weakest part.

[This is it!]

Korea. Traffic accident. Emergency room. Kang Hanjun.

In fact, he didn't know what those were, but he had to manage it somehow.

[I'm Kell-Veron, only eight hours old!]

Someone who would eventually become the Spirit King could not die just like that. He had to live.

He was a little afraid of the girl who looked like a giant, but he didn't show it outwardly.

But it was really scary when the dagger touched his neck. He felt like he was going to be sucked into that terrifying world again. In the end, Kell-Veron guided Viola as he was told.

'This is so disgraceful.'

She was holding him by the back of his head. He, who would become a great Spirit King in the future, felt as if his hair would be pulled out.
