A hundred children were trapped on Hengshan. Thrown into a nightmare designed by Cheon Gija, a monster wearing human skin. No food. No mercy. No escape. Just a hundred terrified children and the understanding that only one would leave alive.
Dan Hyeongwoo was that one.
He survived the hell created by Cheon Gija and gained power worthy of being called that of a demon god in return. The mountain broke him and remade him into something that should not exist. A weapon shaped like a boy. A predator wearing a human face.
But the world felt unfamiliar to him. The rules made no sense. People smiled for no reason. They cried for strangers. They formed bonds that could only lead to pain. None of it computed.
So he becomes an escort warrior of the Henan Escort Agency. A simple job. Protect caravans. Fight bandits. Carry goods from one city to another. Nothing like Hengshan.
He relearns what people are and what the world is from the ground up. How to talk without threatening. How to eat without calculating escape routes. How to be near someone without seeing them as prey or predator.
Everything he does is for one single purpose: the day he will take revenge on Cheon Gija. Every conversation. Every mission. Every moment of pretending to be normal. All of it builds toward the day he finds the man who made him a demon.
