chapter 1
Episode #1
Lee Kun-woo, who turned 33 this year.
As always, he started reading web novels on his way home from work today.
“Today is finally the end.”
It was a web novel that Gern-wu enjoyed reading.
<An archery genius who fell into the academy>
He was the one who read this work every single day during the series of nearly 600 episodes.
Geon-woo had a special attachment to this work.
So, almost without missing a day, I clicked likes and left comments.
“Well, since I was almost the only reader…”
Only Geon-wu was a true avid reader.
<Archery genius who fell into the academy>, for short, <Papa’s palace> had quite a few readers in the early part, but the number of views gradually decreased as the number of episodes got longer.
Eventually, when the number of episodes exceeded 100, the number of views continued to be 1.
That would be too.
Most readers read the work by being immersed in the main character’s point of view.
The writer of <Daddy’s Palace> kept changing the point of view several times, regardless of whether it was a main, supporting role, or extra, giving readers confusion, and even the worldview was jumbled up.
It was good to see the sincerity of the writer who seemed to pay a lot of attention to the character in various ways, regardless of whether it was a main supporting role or an extra, but… … .
‘Rather, it’s strange that poisoning isn’t broken.’
nevertheless.
Geon-wu often sent small donations to the writer he had never met with only his fan heart, and comforted (?) other than that.
‘In some ways, financial whip might be a better word?’
The reason why Geon-wu goes this far and has affection for this work.
He once had a past where he devoted himself solely to sports with a swollen dream of becoming a national archery representative.
“Then what do you do? Now it’s hard to keep my arm properly.”
Geon-wu resented the past as he looked at his hand, which was still shaking.
Ten years ago, ahead of the 5th national selection match, Geon-wu was unintentionally involved in a car accident.
He suffered severe injuries to his right arm.
Because of this, not only could he no longer hold the bow, but his hands still trembled as an aftereffect.
“It’s just all useless now.”
To Geon-woo, <Dad’s Palace> was like a small hope.
In a fantasy world, the insignificant protagonist overcomes hardships with all his efforts and defeats all the villains with only one bow.
Above all, the story of becoming the strongest in the world by defeating Aperio, the 7th demon king, the axis of evil, even felt catharsis.
Geon-wu especially felt great joy in the part where he became the strongest with a bow.
“It’s a pity, as of today, this work is also complete.”
As of today, the work has been completed after a long journey of two years.
For Geon-wu, <Daddy’s Palace> was the only support for a life exhausted by earning a living and repaying student loans.
Deep down, I couldn’t help but feel sad that today’s episode was over.
Fortunately (?), today’s final episode was quite long.
If it is usually 25 pages long, it was more than twice as long as usual.
Maybe 15 minutes passed?
Geon-wu, who read the complete story without any hesitation, was finally able to read the author’s words.
▶ Author’s words.
I sincerely thank the readers who have read the work so far.
Also, a sincere thank you to [Geonu] who commented, recommended, and even sponsored every time <Daddy’s Palace> was serialized.
Here, [Geonu] is Lee Kun-woo’s nickname.
On the one hand, Geon-wu felt proud when he was mentioned in the last writer’s words.
“Is it worthwhile to mention it like this?”
As always after reading all the long 50 pages.
Geon-wu tried to leave a comment today as well.
But suddenly, there was a suspicious notification mark at the top of the mobile phone interface.
“what? Can it be a note from the predecessor?”
I put my hand on the notification sign without thinking about it.
[Paart gave you 50,000 gold.]
Geon-woo was taken aback for a moment.
It’s a gift…!
“Is that the author himself?”
The nickname ‘Part’ was the writer who wrote <Papa’s Palace>.
Gold, a cash item needed to read paid novels, was directly sent to me.
“50,000 gold is almost the same as the amount I have sponsored so far, right? I don’t know if I can accept it willingly.”
Should I say that it feels like getting the donation money I sent back in the meantime?
To Geon-wu, it seems to be a sign of the writer’s sexuality in his own way.
I was hesitant to accept this.
Even so, it seemed disrespectful to blindly refuse.
“Yes, sooner or later you will publish your next work. You can look at it again then, so what?”
Before long, I received the gold sent as a gift from the artist.
[Would you like to receive gold?]
[Accept/Reject]
*However, Gold once accepted is non-refundable.
After checking the personal information consent items one by one.
I pressed the accept button.
[You have received 50,000G.]
[We will proceed with synchronization.]
[please wait for a moment.]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
…
…
[Synchronization completed.]
***
“Among the domestic hunter universities today, our Zenix Academy has produced the most top-notch hunters, and is still doing its best for national security. Among them, the crack that occurred near Cheongju the year before last was…”
Talk- Talk-
“Cha Min-jun? No matter how boring my lectures are, right?! How often do you sleep openly in the front row?”
“…”
giggling-
Geon-wu woke up feeling as if someone was waking him up.
“… … !!”
But, how did it happen?
Read at NovelNext. com
Just a little while ago, I was definitely immersed in web novels bending my waist in hell.
The place where he is now reminded me of a certain university lecture room.
Moreover, in front of him, a professor wearing black horn-rimmed glasses was staring at Geon-wu.
Similarly, behind Geon-wu, students (?) were also full.
‘Am I dreaming?’
Who would accept this situation straight away?
It is said that when people panic, their heads go blank for a moment…
Geon-wu was like that now.
“Cha Min-joon, please pay more attention during the next lecture. Today’s lecture ends here. There is a dungeon tour experience next week, so please don’t miss it.”
“yes!”
Leaving behind the instructor, who had left behind only unknown words, a group of kids he hadn’t seen before rushed around Geonwu.
“Ehh, God X. That’s why you hear that you’re a loser.”
“What kind of motel is this? Why are you sleeping on a fictional day?”
“It’s okay for us, so let’s play. Honestly, does it make sense that you are a Hunter?”
Geon-wu felt uncomfortable.
Guys who looked at least 10 years younger than me were spitting out flat words.
Although it’s long enough that I sometimes have to check my ID by a part-timer at a convenience store.
I couldn’t stand it when they first met, and they came in droves and spat out squeaks.
Geon-wu slammed the desk on the spot and stood up.
widely-!
“The children of the young man. How dare you stick your face in the face and squeak short words!”
Then, rather, the group pointed their fingers at Geon-wu.
“Poop! Fuhahahahaha!”
“hey?! Minjun Cha! are you crazy Are you still awake?”
“Did you think everything would end when this bastard graduated from high school? Just like it happened at the telegraph high school, give it back once again?! Or would you like to experience the gate again with us like before?”
“Yaya! Minshik, just bear with that. That bastard peed in his pants again. Kiki.”
“Even if it is so in the telegraph report. At least in Xenix, let’s not embarrass ourselves. If you fail to enter the Woo Hwang Guild like this, will you take responsibility?”
they pushed further.
‘Cha Min-joon? Telegraph? On top of that, the Zenix Academy and the Woohwang Guild…’
Words you’ve all heard at least once.
In particular, Woohwang Guild and Jenix Academy were also one of the most frequently mentioned keywords in <Dad’s Palace> novel.
‘Who are these guys and why are they talking like this?’
Suddenly, Geon-wu’s gaze turned to the mirror hanging on the wall in front of him.
“uh!? What!!”
Where did the body of Lee Kun-woo, whom others teased as an anchovy, go, and a completely different person was reflected in the mirror.
Her bangs were so bushy that they covered her eyes.
His height was 10 cm taller than usual, and he seemed to be well over 180 cm tall.
It was necessary to roll up the bangs and take a closer look at the features.
‘Who is he?’
The skin was so smooth that there were no blemishes.
With his thick eyebrows and even the tip of his nose, it was certain that he had a pretty good appearance.
‘You look like a main character?’
On the other hand, Geon-wu’s reaction made those around him look full of energy.
“Why did he say that earlier?”
“I don’t know, I guess I really didn’t wake up.”
“Eww, that’s really pathetic.”
“Hey, Minjun Cha! It’s useless if you’re just trying to avoid us.”
Above all, it was unusual for that cheeky gang to call themselves ‘Cha Min-jun’ all the time.
Why does everyone call themselves ‘Cha Min-jun’ when there is a decent name ‘Lee Kun-woo’?
A question that was close to the answer popped up in his mind.
‘I’m Cha Min-joon?’
I started putting the puzzles together slowly.
If you combine all the keywords you’ve heard so far, they’re all words from the <Dad’s Palace> web novel.
‘The main character of the father’s palace also started like this at first… Surrounded by strange rubbish.’
But even here there was a clear difference.
‘But why does everyone call me Cha Min-joon? The one who dies first because he is the most useless in <Dad’s Palace>…?’
As for Cha Min-joon, whom Geon-wu knew from <Papa’s Palace>.
‘It’s not even a supporting role. It’s just a job extra in this novel. Such an insignificant existence that is ridiculed by these scum. furthermore······.’
Die. That’s ridiculous to the mob.
Not to mention Cha Min-joon’s weight, it’s rather useful to think of him who appears briefly at the very beginning of the novel while reading episode 600.
‘I also briefly touched on Cha Min-jun’s epilogue, but I remember that there really wasn’t much of it…? Besides, there were no perks.’
<Daddy’s Palace> is a hunter film, but it is set in modern times. Cha Min-joon is only the lowest of the bridesmaids at Jenix Academy, a Hunter University.
In conclusion, unbelievably, Geon-woo was possessed by Cha Min-joon, an extra in <Daddy’s Palace>.
‘Nonsense. I’m the real Cha Min-joon?!’
[You have completed the tutorial.]
[I was possessed as an extra character, Cha Min-joon.]
[Achieve the special story of ‘Cha Min-jun’ that has not been covered before.]
[Do Jin-kwang of ‘The Archery Genius in the Academy’ does not exist.]
[I will load the stats of Cha Min-jun, the archery genius who fell into the academy.]
[All 50,000G will be transferred as compensation.]
▶Status Window◀
Name ▶ Cha Min-joon
Age ▶ 20 years old
Affiliation ▶ Genix Academy 1st year
Class ▶ Combat Department Department D Class
talent ▶ nothing
Skill ▶ Nothing
Gold ▶ 50,000G
“… … !!”
It’s a status window.
In <Daddy’s Palace>, the ‘status window’ that the writer sometimes put in to fill in the amount appeared in front of my eyes like a hologram.
‘Did I really come into a novel? Just like the story in the novel?!’
Geon-wu was confused by Cha Min-joon’s reflection in the mirror.
Besides, Do Jin-kwang, the original protagonist of Daddy’s Palace!
After reading the phrase that he did not exist, it was difficult to immediately realize the sentence.
Either that or not, the crowd surrounding Geon-wu opened their mouths.
“What was the next lecture?”
“Isn’t that?! The most boring lecture…”
“Ah… is that boring bow game again?”
“Oh, and you took a break last week. He said he would reinforce it today.”
“No, it is the professor’s circumstances to cancel class. Why are you trying to fill that up with reinforcements today?”
“Nandle, you know? If you want to do well in the promotion test this semester, you have to check most of the lectures… XI don’t want to go.”
It was Cha Min-joon, who was no longer Lee Kun-woo, overhearing their conversation.
That it roughly matches the story of the first episode of <Daddy’s Palace>.
At first, he tried to deny the reality by pinching his cheeks.
He even slapped him on the cheek, but nothing changed.
Cha Min-joon came up with the key point of this novel by chance.
‘If this is real, can we open a talent market?’
It helps the insignificant protagonist in <Daddy’s Palace> grow.
There were artifacts, magical powers, and items, but it was the ‘talent market’ that greatly helped the protagonist grow.
A market where you can purchase talents according to your money.
Soon after, a notification window that stimulated Cha Min-joon’s desire to purchase appeared out of the blue.
[The ‘Talent Market’ for the growth of Cha Min-jun has been opened.]
Archery Talent 50,000G
Swordsmanship Talent 50,000G
Spear skill 50,000G
Dagger Talent 50,000G
Summon Talent 50,000G
…
…
…
Gold ▶ 50,000G
‘There are many of them…’
I knew in advance through <Dad’s Palace> that there were various talents that could be purchased at the talent market, but when I checked dozens of talents with my own eyes, I was at a crossroads of choice.
However, one thing is clear.
‘I’m not nervous at all.’
The self who always had numbness in his hands.
However, thanks to Cha Min-joon’s character, I didn’t feel the aftereffects of the past.
Rather, it seemed to be much more healthy than the body that had been developed to become the national archery representative.
‘Is this really… me?’
He is still bewildered by his transformation into Cha Min-joon in the novel.
That said, I couldn’t just pass by the many talents in the talent market.
He naturally fixed his gaze on one talent.
