The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 1-5

Chapter 1 - Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo

...I would look like a madman.

But I couldn't help it.

I opened my mouth after a lot of consideration.

I talked to myself in the mirror.

"...Who am I? What's my name?"

Yes, my name is Lee Hoyeol.

A fever of joy at the great lake.

Three daughters.

My name was given to me by my grandfather, who was very happy to see me born as the youngest son of a family full of daughters.

However, contrary to what I thought in my mind, a completely different name came out of my mouth.

"...Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo."

I didn't even know which country's aristocratic name it was.

It's a weirdly long name...!

Did I suddenly awaken my previous life?

"I wish I did..."

No, I knew it wasn't that kind of fantasy.

Because my reflection in the mirror was telling me.

Oddly sharp eyes,

A strikingly toned physique.

Finally, the letters that popped up in front of my eyes.

This was an awakening.

In other words, I had become a player.

Yeah, I could understand that far.

The problem was the image of me being a player and the strange name.

"No matter how you look at it, this was more than 10 years ago..."

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

To be exact, 12 years ago.

So, I had been 15 years old.

At the time when I was having a middle school second-year syndrome.

It was definitely the character I had developed then.

I murmured in spite of myself.

"... Nevertheless, I am screwed."

In a sophisticated manner as if I was a noble.

***

Trickle–

I'm screwed.

Contrary to those feelings, my actions were full of composure.

I took out a teacup from the cupboard that I never used.

I brewed green tea, which I normally wouldn't even touch.

Then I sat at the table and sipped green tea.

"It doesn't smell bad."

...It's not like I'm filming a historical drama.

I was talking, but the way I talked was awkward.

Anyway, I had a hunch.

That both my behavior and speech changed due to the influence of my awakening.

A player's awakening.

I thought it had nothing to do with me.

I totally forgot about it.
