I AM THE KING
PROLOGUES

'In the end it ended like this.'

A hollow laughter forced itself out.

However, I am not surprised nor do I feel that it is unfair.

Because I knew that I would die like this.

"Gee."

He took a long breath.

The steam slowly drifting from his mouth rose into the sky.

"There's a bastard who lives there."

Seeing the steam from his breath, several enemy soldiers came walking towards him.

'Just let me. After all, there was already a hole in my stomach.'

He wanted to protest with it, but in the end he just let it go.

He remembered the spring from 20 years ago.

'Am I 18 years old when I ran out of town saying that I would be a great general who would lead the whole world?'

After that, he continued to fight on the battlefield for 20 years.

And the result of all that ended with; that he only had a little money in his hands and that he was a member of the First Spearman Corps.

His life flickered like a spinning lantern.

'What would happen if I participated in that surprise tactic? No, did I already register when they enlisted soldiers for the Bate region? No-no. If I go West in that winter; when there's a monster subjugation operation?'

His mind brought him to the crossroads of his life with many alternatives.

At that moment, he foolishly chose one side without hesitation.

But the end result is not so good.

And because of that, he was now lying with a hole in his stomach waiting for the cold and final embrace of death.

Immediately, he could see the hostile expressions of the approaching enemy soldiers …

'Damn.'

The curse was flowing through his throat.

Poked.

A steel sword pierced his chest.

"Dam."

His voice sounded weak, without strength.

Roan of the First Spearman Corps, from Bilas kingdom just died.
