NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 0
Chapter 0: Prologue
– The fact that the Sword Emperor was born in Korea was a stroke of fortune.
– He elevated the level of hunters over 20 years. Such a genius would never appear again.
– Just living in the same era as the Sword Emperor was an honor.
The measure of strength lacks an absolute standard and remains abstract.
However, there was one undisputed strongest person.
That person was the man known as the Sword Emperor.
The youngest-ever S-rank awakener.
The greatest contributor to the raid on the cataclysmic-class monster, Achilles.
The Emperor of Swords.
All of these titles referred to a single individual.
It was the day the Sword Emperor turned forty.
An unprecedentedly massive monster wave engulfed the city.
Many people perished, and the Sword Emperor, stronger than anyone else, fought desperately to protect them, but he fell in battle.
Ultimately, the wave was stopped.
But no one could smile.
They could only watch him die miserably from a distance.
[The true saint and eternal hero of humanity, the Sword Emperor, rests here.]
A large gravestone was erected at his tomb.
A grand memorial service was held worldwide in his honor.
In Korea, April 16th, the day he died, was designated as a day of mourning.
Next to the Admiral Yi Sun-sin statue at Gwanghwamun, a new statue of the Sword Emperor was built.
The site became a tourist attraction for people around the world.
While alive, he was revered as the Sword Emperor, and in death, he became a hero whose name would be remembered forever.
“And yet, here I am.”
She muttered, facing the mirror.
She waved her hand several times, as if unable to believe it, confirming that the woman in the mirror was indeed herself.
“…A woman?”
Her name was Beatrice Cenci.
Her occupation, a noblewoman.
The saint who had sacrificed himself for countless others was now reincarnated into the body of a mere viscount’s daughter.
