Synopsis

"They called me a joke. I called it motivation."

In a world where status is everything, Kesal was nothing. A "trash" student in cheap clothes, he was the laughingstock of his school and the favorite toy of every wealthy bully. After the tragic death of his father, he was left with nothing but a broken heart and a target on his back.

But when the world pushed him too far, the boy they knew died.

Desperate to escape, Kesal joined the military on a suicide mission. He didn't find death—he found his true calling. Rising from the mud to become the nation’s youngest and coldest General, Kesal built a hidden empire of strategy and unimaginable wealth.

Now, the "Disgrace" has returned home.

Disguised in his old, average clothes, he watches from the shadows as his enemies celebrate their hollow lives. They think he’s still that same weak kid. They have no idea that a General is standing right behind them, ready to tear their world apart.
