Lout of Count's Family

When I woke up, I found myself trapped within the pages of a fantasy novel titled *The Birth of a Hero*. The story revolved around Choi Han, a high school student from Earth who gets transported to another world, becoming the central figure in a grand adventure alongside other emerging heroes. Unfortunately, my role in this tale was far from heroic—I had taken the place of the despised and worthless member of the Count’s family, the rulers of the territory where Choi Han first arrives.

The real issue begins when Choi Han’s life takes a dark turn after his first village is brutally wiped out by assassins. Unaware of this tragedy, the foolish character I now embody foolishly provokes Choi Han, leading to a brutal beating.

As I processed my new reality, a sinking realization hit me—this was far from ideal. Yet, despite the grim circumstances, I couldn’t help but see an opportunity. If I played my cards right, maybe I could turn this disastrous situation into a fresh start.
