Chapter 4 The Journey To become unforgettable Legend

Truth about who kill 2nd queen

Kira and mira is blood related brother and sister

Secret Twist: **Who Killed the 2nd Queen (Mira & Kira's Mother)?**

- **Dong doesn't know who killed her**

- Everyone *thinks* she died of illness, just like Dong's mother

- Mira and Kira both believe it was "natural causes" — but they're being lied to

- **1st Queen Yoran is the prime suspect**, but there's *no proof*… or is there a deeper truth? But in deep all knows who kill 2nd queen?

# 📜 *Backstory Reveal: Why Dong is Hated*

**"The Curse of the 1st Queen"**

---

👑 The 1st Queen — wife of the King, mother of the 1st prince — is the **most powerful woman in the palace**.

She controls the nobles. She controls the maids.

She even whispers into the King's ear like a venomous snake.

But there's one person she truly hates:

> ❌ **Dong — the 4th prince**.

> The son of a *lowly maid*, born with sharp eyes and a quiet brain.

🧠 **She thought:**

> "He has no power. No family. No value.

> I'll erase him before he grows teeth."

So she spread **poison** — not just in his tea,

But in **people's minds**:

- ⚠️ *"Dong is cursed."*

- ⚠️ *"His mother was a seductress."*

- ⚠️ *"He's a disgrace to the royal bloodline."*

Soon…

– Servants **stopped greeting him**.

– Knights **refused to train him**.

– Even **his siblings bullied him freely**.

---

🧠 **Dong (thinking, now that he remembers it all):**

> "So that's why no one respected me.

> It wasn't just the poison in my veins.

> It was the poison in their ears."

> "The 1st Queen planned everything.

> My weakness. My fall. My silence."

> "She thought she won.

> But she forgot one thing..."

💥

> **"The dead don't forget."**

---

💬 **Dong (to himself):**

> "Let them treat me like a shadow.

> Because from the shadows… I strike best."

---

Dong walks alone through the palace hallway after the cold dinner.

Every servant turns their head away.

Every knight pretends not to see him.

Even the **royal guards** don't salute.

💬 *"He's the 4th prince, right?"*

💬 *"The cursed one…"*

💬 *"No wonder no one wants to go to the academy with him."*

He hears all of it.

He shows nothing.

But inside?

His eyes burn like **black fire**.

---

🧠 **Dong (thinking):**

> "They think I'm weak. Forgotten.

> That I don't belong here."

> "Let them."

> "Because I don't plan to fix this world…"

> 🔥 **"I plan to burn it to ashes."**

> "One by one.

> The nobles.

> The palace.

> The royals."

> Dong say one day I show who i am

Dong perspective first i need to heal my body and gets some energy

🌙 **[Scene – Midnight | Forbidden Garden Behind the Palace]**

While the palace sleeps, Dong moves like a shadow.

He steps into a **hidden cave** inside the forbidden garden — a place only he knows about from his previous life.

🧠 **Dong (thinking):**

> "This place... where I first found the 'Book of Gods'."

> "It's still untouched. Good."

He walks to a cracked stone pedestal.

There lies the same ancient scripture:

📖 *"Void Breathing Manual – Tier: Lost"*

It glows faintly as he touches it.

💬 **Dong (whispers):**

> "Time to reclaim what was stolen from me…"

---

### 🧘‍♂️ Cultivation Begins: Void Breathing

Dong sits cross-legged.

Breathes slowly.

And begins to circulate energy through his **damaged meridians.**

The pain is **unbearable.**

His blood boils. His veins scream.

But he keeps going.

He pushes energy through the poison-scarred parts of his body —

until something clicks.

💥 **[DING!]**

**"Void Breathing Stage 1 – Activated"**

---

### 💠 Internal Healing Begins

His body starts repairing itself:

- His **damaged meridians mend**.

- The **traces of poison dissolve**.

- His **mana core**, once cracked, starts to **reform**.

🧠 **Dong (gritting teeth):**

> "I feel it. My power returning.

> But not the same as before..."

> **"Now, it's darker. Colder. Hungrier."**

---

Two Powers, One Monster"

---

🌌 **[Scene – The Secret Cave, Midnight]**

Dong sits in total silence.

The void energy swirls around him like a storm of shadows.

💬 **Dong (whispers):**

> "I've healed. My meridians are stable.

> Now it's time… to unleash what truly belongs to me."

---

### ☠️ Skill 1: **Void Devouring – Activation**

He raises his hand and focuses on a nearby beast corpse he dragged from the forest — a mana beast.

💥 Black tendrils slither from his palm and **stab into the corpse.**

💀 *The beast's body starts melting… dissolving into black goo…*

*…then gets completely absorbed into Dong.*

🧠 **System Prompt (in his mind):**

> **「Void Devouring Activated」**

> – 40% of beast's mana absorbed

> – 20% of beast's strength permanently added

> – New trait unlocked: *"Lesser Beast Instinct"*

💬 **Dong (cold smile):**

> "Good… my strength is increasing."

> "I don't need blessings. I'll feed on the world itself."

---

### 🌀 Skill 2: **Infinite Storage – Activation**

Dong opens his other hand.

A small, pitch-black hole appears mid-air.

He tosses in 4 beast corpses, 2 weapons, and a stone tablet —

🚪 *They vanish instantly.*

🧠 **System Prompt:**

> **「Infinite Storage」**

> – Capacity: Limitless

> – Stored so far:

> ⤷ [4 beast corpses]

> ⤷ [Basic Tier-A sword]

> ⤷ [Ancient stone of lost language]

> ⤷ [Emergency healing pills]

💬 **Dong:**

> "Perfect. I'll carry everything I need for war."

> "No one will know what I hide in

🏰 **[Scene – Royal Training Ground, Late Afternoon]**

Kira steps closer, concern on his face.

🗡️ **Kira:**

> "Dong… if they're harassing you again, just tell me.

> Mira and Jak have gone too far before. I'll deal with them."

😐 **Dong (expression blank):**

> "No. I'm just here… to improve myself."

🗡️ **Kira (sighs):**

> "You don't have to pretend with me."

😈 **Dong (cold smile):**

> "I'm not pretending. I simply don't need anyone to fight my battles."

🗡️ **Kira:**

> "You've always been like this..."

😐 **Dong (turns to leave):**

> "Stay that way, Kira. Loyal. Strong.

> I might need a sword like you… one day."

---

### 🎭 Internal Monologue – Dong's True Thoughts:

🧠 **Dong (thinking):**

> "Kira, you were the only one who stood beside me when everyone turned away."

> "That's why I'll use your strength — not betray it."

> "But trust? That's a luxury I lost the day they poisoned me."

---

### 🔁 That Night…

Dong cultivates alone again, absorbing scraps of aura, shadow, and memory.

His muscles ache, but they're changing.

His body is stronger. His eyes sharper.

🧠 **Dong (thinking):**

> "Everyone betrayed me."

> "My brothers, my sisters, the king, even the maids whispered behind my back."

> "Except him…"

Kira's face flashes in his memory — standing with a sword, defending him from bullies, feeding him when others ignored him.

> "He stood beside me… not for gain… but because he believed in me."

> "In this rotten royal family… he's the only one who didn't wear a mask."

💬 **Dong (softly):**

> "Maybe… just maybe… I can forgive *one* person."

🌑 **[Night – Inside Dong's Training Room]**

Dong sits shirtless, wrapping his bleeding knuckles.

His arms tremble. Bones cracked. Skin raw.

A servant stands silently behind him — a trusted **spy-servant** known only as **"Shadow Fang."**

💬 **Dong (coldly):**

> "I want you to find something."

💬 **Shadow Fang:**

> "Yes, my prince."

Dong turns his head slowly. His eyes glow slightly with void energy.

💬 **Dong:**

> "Find me a dying Lion King."

🕷️ **Shadow Fang (nervous):**

> "...The king of the jungle? The one the beast tribes fear? The one the king himself avoids fighting?"

💬 **Dong:**

> "Yes. One on the verge of death. Wounded. Weak."

> "I want its corpse — or to kill it myself."

🕷️ **Shadow Fang (hesitant):**

> "Forgive me, young master… but it's *half the size of the Burj Khalifa.*"

💬 **Dong (smirking):**

> "Good. Then it'll have *enough mana and strength* for me to devour."

> "Its power… will become mine."

> "I will make the King of the Jungle bow to the *forgotten prince.*"

🌌 **[Night – Secret Courtyard Behind the Palace]**

Shadow Fang, the leader of Dong's secret servants, kneels before him. The air is tense.

Dong stands still, arms folded, eyes sharp as blades.

💬 **Shadow Fang (hesitant):**

> "Young Master… this is too much."

> "A Lion King, even injured, is still a creature that slaughtered an entire beast horde last season. It—"

💢 **Dong (interrupting, cold voice):**

> "Did I ask for your opinion?"

> "I gave you an order. Not a suggestion."

Shadow Fang clenches his fist, lowering his eyes.

💬 **Shadow Fang:**

> "...Even if I find it, you can't defeat it. Not as you are now."

**Dong steps closer. Just one step.**

But the pressure feels like a blade to the neck.

💬 **Dong (voice like ice):**

> "Then prepare to lose your position."

> "And maybe… your tongue, too."

Shadow Fang flinches slightly.

He looks up — sees **no fear, no mercy** in Dong's expression.

Only **certainty.**

💬 **Dong (calmly):**

> "Find it. Within 10 days."

> "Alive… or freshly dying."

> "Disobey — and someone else will wear your skin."

⚠️ *Silence.* Heavy. Deadly.

💬 **Shadow Fang (gritting his teeth):**

> "...Understood, Young Master."

He bows deeply, then vanishes into the shadows.

---

💭 **Dong (thinking, alone):**

> "Fear is a better motivator than love."

> "Because fear obeys even when it doesn't believe."

---

🌲 **[Secret Forest – Midnight]**

The forest is eerily silent.

A hidden valley — filled with ancient rocks and deep roots.

In the center… a massive black steel cage covered in glowing **magic runes and suppression seals.** The bars are bent from the inside.

Inside it — **a beast like a mountain.**

The **Lion King.**

Half the size of a castle tower.

Blood dripping from a gaping wound on its shoulder.

Fur scorched. Eyes glowing dimly — but still filled with **unbreakable pride.**

💬 **Shadow Fang (kneeling):**

> "I found it, Young Master. It fought a Thunder Titan Beast… and barely survived."

> "It's dying. But even now… no one dared to finish it off."

**Dong steps forward.** Cold. Calm.

He looks up at the Lion King, who growls — even in weakness, it radiates *pure dominance.*

💬 **Dong (quietly):**

> "Perfect."

💬 **Shadow Fang:**

> "No one's ever dared to face a dying legend like this alone…"

💬 **Dong:**

> "Because no one was *me.*"

> "Open the cage."

🌑 **[Secret Forest – Sealed Battlefield]**

Dozens of **magic barriers** glow in the dark. The roar of the **Lion King** echoes like thunder. The beast thrashes violently, shaking the entire valley.

💥 BOOM! 💥

One SS-rank mage coughs blood as his shield shatters.

A spear-wielding SS-rank knight flies backward, crashing into a tree.

💬 **SS-Rank Mage:**

> "Damn it!! It's dying — but its aura is still shaking our cores!"

💬 **SS-Rank Swordsman:**

> "This is no ordinary beast! This is a *Cataclysm-Class Monarchy Beast!*"

💬 **Shadow Fang (gritting his teeth):**

> "Hold on… the Young Master is coming."

---

⚫ **[Moments later – From the shadow, Dong arrives]**

Everyone turns. Confused.

A slim young man — with a cold expression — walks calmly through the broken seals.

💬 **SS-Rank Knight:**

> "Who the hell—?! A child?! What's a noble brat doing here?!"

💬 **Shadow Fang (coldly):**

> "Watch your mouth. That brat… is the one who ordered all of you here."

💬 **SS-Rank Mage (shocked):**

> "What?! Who— is he insane?! This thing will kill him in one swipe!!"

**Dong doesn't respond. He steps right in front of the Lion King.**

The beast turns — its massive golden eye locks onto Dong.

The pressure is suffocating.

Even the **wind stops moving.**

💬 **SS-Rank Archer (whispering):**

> "He's not even flinching…"

💭 **Dong (thinking):**

> "You killed hundreds in your life. Now you will feed my rise."

> "Let's begin."

🌌 **[Void Devouring – Activated]**

The shadows behind Dong stretch unnaturally. A black aura like liquid ink begins crawling toward the beast.

💬 **Dong (smiling slightly):**

> "Come, Lion King."

> "Let's see if you can still roar… in the face of *void.*"

---

🔥 **Next

🌲 **[Shadow Valley – Nightfall]**

The air is heavy.

The forest trembles as a **giant beast** smashes against magical barriers with blood-soaked claws.

🔥 **The Lion King.**

Its golden mane is burnt. Its fangs cracked.

But the **pressure** it releases… still feels like the weight of a mountain.

---

🧙‍♂️ **SS-Rank Mage: Archon Belzar** – Age 57

Master of dimensional runes. Has stopped a natural disaster with a single chant.

🗡️ **SS-Rank Swordswoman: Sylvia Nightscar** – Age 28

The youngest SS-rank in history. Her sword is so sharp it cuts sound.

Both stand in front of the cage — **sweating. Trembling.**

💬 **Belzar (gritting teeth):**

> "We've sealed its mana. Broken its legs. Poisoned it. And it *still* almost killed me."

💬 **Sylvia (cracked voice):**

> "One roar… just one roar, and I couldn't breathe."

> "This thing… it's not a beast. It's a *disaster given flesh.*"

---

🌫️ **Then… footsteps.**

From the mist, a young boy walks out — **Dong.** Black hair, pale skin, eyes glowing faintly violet.

💬 **Sylvia (in disbelief):**

> "Who is that child? A royal servant?"

💬 **Belzar:**

> "No… I've seen him in the palace archives. That's the 4th prince."

> "The *powerless* one."

💬 **Dong (calmly):**

> "Move."

💬 **Sylvia:**

> "W-What?! This thing will rip you apart!"

💬 **Dong (unblinking):**

> "I didn't ask."

**He steps past them. The magical barrier opens.**

---

🐾 The **Lion King growls**, sensing a human step into the cage. Its golden eyes narrow. Its paw drags blood, preparing to strike.

💬 **Belzar (shouting):**

> "Are you insane?! Even a flick from that paw will kill you!!"

🌌 **Dong activates: [Void Devouring]**

The shadows ripple.

A black mist creeps from the ground. The beast **freezes** mid-move — its instincts screaming *danger.*

💬 **Dong (softly):**

> "This cage… is not to trap it."

> "It's to make sure it doesn't run from *me.*"

---

🌫️ **[Inside the Cage – 5 Seconds Before Death]**

The Lion King roars, deafening.

Its massive body pounces — fangs wide open, claws glowing red from rage.

The earth shakes.

The wind slices.

💬 **Belzar (screaming):**

> "IT'S OVER!! HE'S DEAD!!"

💬 **Sylvia:**

> "NO HUMAN CAN SURVIVE THAT—!!"

🕒 But just then…

---

🌌 **[Dong – Calmly steps forward]**

💬 **Dong (coldly):**

> "I told you…"

> "Leave."

He raises one hand.

**[Infinite Storage – ACTIVATED]**

A black ripple forms under his feet like water.

Suddenly — the air **freezes**. The Lion King's giant claw is just **inches** from Dong's head…

But everything stops.

---

🕰️ **[Inside Infinite Storage Realm]**

⏳ Time has halted. Space has folded.

Everything is dark — like the edge of a dying star.

Only Dong can move.

He walks slowly around the beast's frozen claw, examining it like a museum exhibit.

💬 **Dong (thinking):**

> "So this is what real power looks like. If that hit me… I'd be pulp."

> "But I don't plan to die yet."

🌌 **Inside Infinite Storage Realm**

Where **only Dong** can move. Time frozen. The Lion King still mid-roar, its rage suspended like a painting.

🧠 **Dong (coldly):**

> "You're a proud king of the jungle."

> "But I'm a prince trained by pain."

> "This… is not just a kill."

> "This is punishment."

---

⚔️ **Dong summons his black dagger**

—but not just one.

From Infinite Storage, **a hundred identical void daggers** float around him, swirling like a vortex of death.

💬 **Dong (to himself):**

> "I'll land one cut… for every day I suffered."

> "One thousand cuts for every humiliation."

> "And one lakh cuts… to carve my name into fate."

---

## 💥 [Execution Begins – 100,000 Cuts in Frozen Time]

Dong's body **blurs**.

He moves like wind. Shadows split with each step.

He carves the Lion King from head to toe — legs, ribs, tail, mane, claws, back — **no part is spared.**

With every slash:

- Black lines appear.

- Blood doesn't fall — it **floats**, frozen in place.

- The Lion King's spirit shudders, as if it senses its own **slow death** in stopped time.

⏳ **Minutes feel like eternities.**

🧠 **Dong (thinking):**

> "A beast like this would've ruled the world… but it was born in my timeline."

> "Wrong place. Wrong era. Wrong opponent."

---

## 🧨 [Final Strike – "The Soul Tear"]

💬 **Dong (whispers):**

> "Rest in the void."

He appears above the Lion King's head, and drives a dagger **through its skull**, releasing the final wave of **Void Devouring.**

Black tendrils wrap around the monster.

Its **mana, strength, and spirit** are swallowed whole.

🌌 **Scene: Void Devouring — Fully Active**

The Lion King's corpse collapses…

And then— **BOOM!**

A black shockwave erupts around Dong.

The sky darkens. Trees bend.

The **ground cracks** under his feet.

---

🔮 **Dong's body floats into the air.**

A huge magic circle forms behind his back, spinning with **ancient runes**.

💬 **Dong (calmly):**

> "1 lakh mana… it feels like I'm holding the power of nations in my hand."

> "So this is just the beginning…"

---

💢 **His body begins to transform:**
