Prologue

Prologue

Preface

A rocky mountain towering high into the sky. At its peak stands a form. Half-man, half-rat. The ratling roars.

The sea of ratlings that fill the horizon as far as your eyes can see, all join their voices to his in a chorus of screams.

Why, you ask?

Because theyve won. Because theyve driven out the old and helpless natives of this land and have become its new overlord.

Would you mind listening to me for a bit?

Editor's Notes:

[1] (sseubeol) is a derivative of the swear word (ssibal) meaning fuck. Were transliterating it as Falk.

To the readers. Ever since Barbarian translation stopped, we've been on the lookout for other projects to translate ideally, something that has a punch, and deserves a look from the translation community (instead of being the ten thousandth rehash of a cookie-cutter tower, academy or hunter plot). This eminently qualifies. There were some other choices (including some that were recently picked up or resumed by other groups check out Cthulhu Reincarnated and Martial Wild West, for example), but only a couple ended up winning. We'll translate a few (maybe ten or so?) teaser chapters for each, then see which one is more popular, meaning that gets picked up for regular releases (or as regular as we usually manage) and the rest remain in teaser project hell.

Warning. This is one of the most consistently dark webnovels on the Korean scene. Trigger warnings for gore, cannibalism, slavery, etc. This is your only warning.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
