Draggarius

Kaito Renzaki, a ruthless contract killer, meets his end in a brutal betrayal—only to awaken as Jin Tae-Hyun, a weak, arrogant noble in the Murim world. Destined to die as a minor villain, he refuses to accept his fate.

Armed with an assassin’s instincts and a lifetime of deception, Kaito will carve his own path. He is not a warrior. He is a killer. And in a world where strength reigns supreme, he will rise—not as a forgotten side character, but as a force that reshapes Murim itself.

But his rise does not go unnoticed. Powerful sects, hidden warlords, and even the protagonist stand in his way.

Will he remain a villain lurking in the shadows?

Or will he become something far more dangerous?

Blood Reforged

Jin Tae-Hyun sat in the shadows of the cave, his back against the cold, damp stone. His body was still, but his mind was a raging storm.

The pain from his wounds barely registered anymore. What ate away at him was the bitter taste of defeat.

His hand trembled slightly. He clenched it into a fist.

This isn't the first time I've lost.

But this was different. Every other time, he had lost on purpose. He had let things play out to suit his plan.

Jin exhaled sharply. Fine. If I can't predict him, I'll adapt.

He wasn't going to sit in this cave and drown in self-pity. That wasn't who he was.

First, I need to understand what I'm dealing with.

He closed his eyes, replaying everything he had seen. The way the man moved, the words he spoke, the way he smiled. That damn, knowing smile.

Jin had been so consumed by his own knowledge of this world, his own advantage, that he never once considered the possibility of someone else like him.

Was he a reincarnator too? A regressor? A transmigrator?

No—if he were like Jin, he wouldn't have been surprised by him. He would have recognized his presence long ago.

Jin's eyes snapped open. That's it.

If this man truly knew everything, he wouldn't have waited. He wouldn't have let Jin slip away.

Which meant his knowledge was incomplete.

Jin inhaled deeply, calming his thoughts. The panic, the uncertainty—it was still there, but now it was under his control.

The predator in him stirred once again.

If he thinks he can hunt me down, he's wrong.

The man sat under the moonlight, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Jin Tae-Hyun had run, but he wasn't the type to stay hiding for long. He'd resurface soon, and when he did—

A slow smile spread across his lips.

Jin pushed himself to his feet, wincing as his wounds protested. He needed to move. Every second spent sitting here was a second his enemy could use against him.

If this man was truly dangerous, then Jin needed to know everything about him.

A slow grin stretched across his face, mirroring the excitement building in his chest.

You surprised me once. Now, let's see if you can do it again.
