The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 1

< A heavenly demon cannot live a normal life # Sancheon > Chapter 1 Dmitri’s Fool (1)

Hans, a servant of Baron Dmitry’s family, couldn’t hide his trouble with the boy’s strange behavior.

“So I am the eldest son of the Dmitri family?”

“This is the Kingdom of Cairo on the Salamander continent. The world called Murim doesn’t even exist.”

It was strange.

He wasn’t the kind of young master who is often said to be smart, but he didn’t show such a foolish side.

I wondered if I was drunk or not.

Recently, the deviation of children from aristocratic families has become a social issue, and it was an issue that Roman Dmitri would doubt.

Dmitry’s jerk.

While his younger siblings had already gone to the capital and grew up steadily, he could know the reality of Roman Tmitri just by watching him rot in the periphery until he reached the age of twenty-five.

Hans said soothingly.

“young master. Today is the day when the daughter of the Lawrence family, who promised to marry the young master, is visiting the Dmitri estate. As rumor has it, the lady of the Lawrence family values the dignity and manners of a noblewoman. So, it is better to prepare in advance and go out. Since it’s the first time we’ve seen each other, we have a good impression… … .”

“There are more important things than that.”

I cut off my words.

No matter how you look at it, the boy, who seemed to be going back and forth, said in a voice that had a different weight than usual.

“Take me to the oldest man in the territory. It is more important to me to learn about the world I will live in than to that young lady whose name I do not know.”

It was really strange.

The boy, who has lived in Dmitry’s estate for 25 years, thinks it’s important to learn about the world he’s going to live in.

But what can I do?

“I understand, young man.”

It was Hans’ role to do his duty as a servant.

* * *

Hans moved to a village outside Dmitri Castle.

Outside of wartime, the castle could not accommodate all the residents, so a village was formed outside the castle.

At first, the village was made up of houses of a fairly plausible shape, but the proportion of shacks gradually increased as we moved inside.

with a splash.

Hans stepped on the muddy water and frowned.

At the stench creeping up from all sides, he glanced at Roman.

“Do you really want to meet the eldest man of the Dmitry estate? If it’s something related to the history of the territory you mentioned, it’s better to use Dmitri’s wise man or the library. How about going back now?”

“Okay.”

Roman did not care about his surroundings.

Like Hans, he stepped into the muddy water without hesitation, and the hem of his trousers got wet from the splashing water.

‘Oh my pants are all wet.’

Hans was taken aback.

Naturally, I thought that Roman, whose pants were wet, would make a fuss, but Roman did not show any particular reaction.

It was a situation that Hans couldn’t understand.

The Dmitri family was not a very prestigious family, but Roman was usually a person who was quite proud of the fact that he was a descendant of an aristocratic family.

When the lords gathered in groups of twos and threes to see Roman doing all sorts of things as an aristocrat despite his lack of talent, they called Roman a jerk to Dmitri and said bad things about him.

But what does it look like?

I doubted whether it was the same person as the person who said he did not want to go out of the castle even if he died despite the order of the lord.

‘… Did you get a head injury somewhere?’

After walking without hesitation, I arrived at my destination in no time.

Hans stopped in front of the crumbling shack and looked at Roman cautiously.

“This is it. He was an old man who had followed the lord even before he first received the Dmitri estate, and he once worked as a blacksmith. He’s already lived ninety years, so it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime. the problem is… I have a little mobility problem, so I have to go inside to talk to him.”

I glanced around.

The stench reached an extreme level and the nose was stuffy, and the spider webs formed all over the shack made the viewer frown.

It was absolutely not a space for a son of an aristocratic family to enter.

So Hans kept asking for opinions on the way, but Roman moved on before he could finish talking.

“Wait outside.”

“omg.”

There was no hesitation to be found.

Reaching out his hand to clear away the cobwebs, Roman went inside and checked his surroundings.

“Are you the owner of this house?”

“How did Master Do come to this humble place?”

The old man lying inside was startled.

I hurriedly walked through the mat-like blanket and got up, but I couldn’t get up, probably because I couldn’t use my legs.

“Sit down and listen.”

Roman sat in front of him.

Seeing him collapse on the dirty ground, the old man didn’t know what to do, so he only looked at Roman.

“I want to know everything about Dmitry’s estate. What kind of land is this place and what kind of history has it been made of? It’s probably going to be a long story, so why don’t we talk slowly while drinking the liquor I brought?”

slap.

Roman showed a bottle of alcohol hanging from his waist.

Seeing the old man panicking with wide-eyed eyes, Roman made a smile that melted his wariness.

“hurry.”

bottom of life.

Roman chose to adapt to this world in his own way.

Even at first, the old man couldn’t speak properly.

However, when he became drunk and Roman showed a serious attitude of listening, his vigilance was relieved.

“Lord Dmitri was originally a famous blacksmith. He was running a merchant guild that made a profit by selling his own metal fittings, and by chance he got an opportunity to deliver weapons to the Kingdom of Cairo. There was a war going on for a while, so it was a great opportunity to transcend the limits of one’s status. After the war, the lord who received the title of baron at the Nongonghaengsang (論功行賞)… … .”

The talk was long.

Dmitri’s eldest son would have known most of it, but the unbridled old man told the story at length, everything he knew.

Roman’s judgment was correct.

I asked Hans what the old man likes, and when he replied that he couldn’t drink alcohol, he deliberately prepared a drink to suit his taste.

Thanks to you, I was able to get all the information I wanted.

He was not yet familiar with the person named Roman, and he gradually accumulated new information in his head.

‘It’s Roman.’

Roman Dmitry.

No, his original name was Baek Joong-hyeok.

It was also the life that Baek Joong-hyeok lived as the leader of the Cheonma Shinkyo (天魔神敎) that unified Murim.

Baek Joong-hyeok, who lived fiercely as a military man.

Having achieved everything, he accepted death calmly.

It was a great blessing to die while enjoying all of his life, but when he opened his eyes, he found the body of Roman Dmitri.

It was absurd.

In fact, at the moment of death, Baek Joong-hyeok stepped into the realm of the top line (登仙).

There was a sacred aura surrounding his soul, but Baek Joong-hyeok did not want to live a life that he could not live as a human being.

So, I refused to take the top line.

Most warriors ultimately want to reach the top of the line, but Baek Joong-hyeok wanted to die as a human being.

And now.

At the crossroads of a new choice, Baek Joong-hyeok quickly accepted the reality.

‘Is this a mandate from heaven or is it God’s punishment for refusing to be ranked first?’

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.

new life.

new environment.

For Baek Joong-hyeok, that was important.

His last years as a heavenly demon were boring and boring, but here, the surrounding scenery gave him a boost of vitality.

‘Human beings must live with a purpose. Having achieved everything, I couldn’t live as a human being even though I could do everything. Rather, it’s a good thing. Roman Dmitry Cairo Kingdom. This world, which is full of unknowns to me, will be a new challenge for me.’

My heart raced.

Baek Joong-hyeok lived a life that would remain in Moorim’s history, but now, when he thinks about it, his life before that, when his life was at stake and fierce every day, made him live as a human being rather than the peaceful later years.

A person who cannot live a normal life.

Baek Joong-hyeok was such a person.

“… That is all I know.”

The talk is all over.

The old man, who hadn’t seen him in a long time, seemed familiar now.

“Thank you for helping me a lot. Regarding this, I will compensate you separately later.”

“No, Bocchan. Just having a conversation with a precious person like you was a great blessing to me.”

Baek Joong-hyuk, not Roman, laughed.

It was my turn to wake up.

But at that moment.

bang!

Quadang!

“이 개새끼야!”

A high pitched voice outside.

It seemed that something had happened around them.

It was as expected.

When I went outside, I saw a group of men beating a boy who had not yet reached adulthood.

puck!

puck puck!

“You ugly bastard.”

“Just throw it away!”

The boy did not let out a single groan despite the intense beating.

It seems that this inflamed the men’s anger even more, and the men beat the boy indiscriminately with the intention of killing him.

The boy’s body shuddered with a thud.

The part where the flesh was exposed outside the clothes was already stained red with blood bruises, and his face was also a mess and his nose was dripping with blood.

People gathered around the tumultuous situation.

However, when they saw the fang tattoos on the men’s bodies, they looked away in amazement.

“What is going on?”

“young master!”

Roman stood next to Hans.

Hans was watching the scene, but when Roman appeared, he said in a cautious voice.

“It seems to be a blood fang gang. It’s a usury force that is active not only in Dmitri’s estate but also in neighboring estates. Just pretend you don’t know. There is nothing good about being entangled.”

Roman’s eyes looked at the Bloodfang gang.

usury.

Despite the high interest, the violence occurred because they borrowed money and did not pay it back.

the problem is.

‘Punishment is not the share of common territories.’

This is Dmitri’s land.

According to the explanation I just heard from the old man, they are obligated to be judged and resolved by the lord in any matter.

Roman Dmitry.

I still couldn’t clearly figure out how to act as Roman.

What is certain is that Roman is dead.

When he woke up, the first thing he found was a will written by Roman and medicine scattered on the floor.

The contents of the will showed how weak Roman was.

The Kingdom of Cairo is always under the threat of war, and because of that, each family has a law that selects a certain number of troops and one person to represent the family and forcibly performs the duty of defense for two years.

Roman was included in the target.

Dmitri’s family head made the decision to send Roman to the battlefield because he couldn’t leave his two younger brothers with a bright future.

So Roman chose death.

Trembling over all sorts of vicious rumors about the battlefield, he made the choice to end his life on the day he was intoxicated.

‘From now on, I am Roman Dmitri.’

The previous life was omitted.

No matter what kind of life Roman has lived, as long as he occupies this body, from now on, he will believe in and follow the ‘values as Baek Joong-hyeok’.

“Stop.”

“Do young master!”

Hans was startled by Roman’s sudden step forward and stopped Roman.

But it’s already too late.

Roman’s voice was loud, and the Blood Fang gang, who had stopped beating, looked at Roman with puzzled eyes.

“Roman Dmitry?”

It was an eye to find out.

The problem was that Roman’s reputation could not deter them.

The man with the vicious face, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, spat out words with a mocking smile on his face.

“Never mind Dmitri’s muppet. This is our business.”

“For the sake of the nobles, to come forward.”

“Stop doing this shit. You giggling asshole.”

Behind the scenes, the gang whispered and laughed.

In a rather loud voice, as if telling him to listen, Hans said in a quiet voice, fearing that Roman would make a mistake.

“Brother Roman. You just have to go back. The Blood Fang gang are a bunch of back-and-forth. If a problem arises, even outside the castle, the halo of the Dmitri family can’t help it. So calm down… … .”

“Hans.”

Roman saw Hans.

The strong, low-pitched voice immediately caught the attention of Hans, who was trembling in fear.

“I don’t know the laws here yet. So explain. Who broke Dmitry’s laws here? And what punishment is appropriate for breaking the law.”

I was out of breath.

Hans felt like being sucked into Roman’s pupils.

Dmitry’s jerk.

The clumsy man who lived every day indulging in pleasure was now entangled with a powerful force that he could not escape.

Running away is the right thing to do in this situation.

However, Hans unknowingly told the ‘truth’.

“The boy committed the sin of not paying the debt on time. It certainly deserves punishment, but the Blood Fang gang have no right to punish it directly. Most of all, they dared to speak insultingly at Dmitri’s domain, the eldest son of the Dmitri family. It is a serious crime that cannot be forgiven even with life. According to the law, it is no wonder that they receive the death penalty.”

Hans lowered his head.

My heart was pounding and my legs were trembling, but I felt I had to be polite to Roman now.

A space where silence descends.

The onlookers held their breath and a sneer appeared on the faces of the Blood Fang gang.

OK.

“You guys have broken Dmitri’s laws. Therefore… .”

Roman stepped forward.

In front of everyone watching, he picked up a common twig that was lying on the ground and aimed it like a sword at the Blood Fang gang.

“From now on, as the eldest son of the Dmitri family, I will execute sentences on you who have broken the law.”
