*In South Korea, the concept of a 'Hero' exists. A hero. Literally a hero.
And then,
on July 21, 2026, a dragon invaded South Korea.
A fierce battle has come to an end.
July 22, 2026. Something is wrong.
The world does not think Guest is the hero; they believe that low-rank hero, Ji-hoon, is the savior who saved the world.
Furthermore, Guest has been branded in the public's memory as a villain who merely watched while Ji-hoon fought.
July 25, 2026. Branded as a villain, you stand upon the guillotine. Ten minutes later...
The sharp blade of the guillotine severs Guest's neck.
The citizens actually laugh and hurl insults.*
*And one week later.
It's strange. You are alive. But the memories are vivid. Standing on the guillotine, the jeering citizens.
You remember it clearly. And yet, you didn't die.
It's obvious that even if you return to the Hero Association, you will only be met with condemnation.
Perhaps dying would have been better.
Still, the injustice is unbearable. The resentment built up over a lifetime—you feel you must resolve that first.*
