After the Kingdom of Runalond united the world 500 years ago, its signature Rune Art became a part of citizens’ everyday lives. No matter one's identity or status, all children at the age of 16 are granted the right to study at a Rune Art Academy in order to secure a place in society.
However, one region is an exception.
Lostburg, inhabited by outcasts, scoundrels, and rejects, is a large town completely abandoned by any form of law and support from the kingdom. Though poor and uneducated, it remains a relatively comfortable place to live... if you know how.
Nathan Modernson, a young boy born and raised in Lostburg, has never met his mother and lives a humble life alongside his rogue father. With his wits of speech and mindfulness of the environment, he believes nobody knew how to live freely and happily in Lostburg more than him.
Just when Nathan thinks this is as far as his life goes, one ordinary day, his father suddenly asks him a simple yet peculiar question.
Nathan’s seemingly careless response, changed him, and possibly the entire world, forever.
I have been a reader of Kimjonglei's books for roughly 6 months now and I am very happy to see the release of a new book, Dream Of A Different Tomorrow. Kimjonglei's other novel Shameless One is what got me into consistently reading his books. I have used Webnovel for many years but have failed to come across an author who prioritizes plot design and more importantly their reader's opinions and needs above his own. This new book is yet another thoughtful piece and gives me a different vibe to Shameless One which focuses on the development of the main character, Shun himself. Dream of a different tomorrow highlights the main character, Nathan Modernson's changing ideologies towards the world, and attempting to create a "different tomorrow" for the good of others and bearing all the pain himself. I have read all of the chapters in this book so far and I'm looking forward to future updates. In conclusion, I strongly recommend checking out this novel and thanks to Kimjonglei for writing such fascinating books!
