Plot summary

This is the story of a man named Ye Chun Hwa (예천화)[1] who is trapped in a world he does not come from. He soon takes the name of Id in order to not attract attention with his unusual name. As Chun Hwa progresses through this strange new world he makes friends, enemies, and part of his past is shown indicating that there is more than meets the eye. Around volume six his origins and his past are revealed, but many questions about him remain unanswered.
