The Unfavored Young Master

Taehyung was an ordinary college student who loved reading fantasy novels. One rainy evening, while reading a web novel called Inheritance of the Black Pearl, a truck suddenly lost control and crashed into him.

Pain.

That was the first thing Taehyung felt.

His head throbbed as if thousands of memories were forcing their way into his mind.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a small wooden room.

"This isn't my room."

The last thing he remembered was crossing a street on Earth.

Then darkness.

Now he was somewhere completely different.

"What happened?"

Memories flooded into his mind.

He had transmigrated into the body of Taehyung kim, the son of a clan elder in the Kim Clan.

Taehyung's father had once been one of the most respected elders. However, after his death,

Taehyung and his younger sister Taehi lost their status. The clan favored Taehyung's talented cousin, soo Hyun, who was considered the future leader.

For three years Taehyung had been ignored, mocked, and deprived of resources.

His only family was Taehi

.

Unfortunately, Taehi suffered from a strange illness that weakened her day by day.

Taehyung clenched his fists.

"So I'm the villain-side character who dies early in the novel?"

According to the story, Taehyung would soon be beaten by soo Hyun followers and Taehi would die from her illness.

"Not anymore."

A weak cough interrupted his thoughts.

Taehyung turned toward the bed.

A thin girl sat there smiling weakly.

"Brother, you're awake."

His heart tightened.

This was Taehi.

The memories told him she had suffered from a mysterious illness since childhood.

The original Taehyung spent everything he had trying to cure her.

Yet her condition only worsened.

Seeing her fragile appearance, Taehyung made a silent promise.

"Don't worry."

"I'll protect you."

For the first time since arriving in this strange world, he found a reason to move forward.

Several days passed.

Taehyung slowly adapted to his new life.

One evening he overheard two healers discussing a rare herb.

Moonleaf Grass

A medicinal plant capable of curing spiritual illnesses.

Unfortunately, it only grew inside Black Mist Forest.

One of the most dangerous places near the clan.

Most cultivators avoided entering it alone.

But Taehyung had no choice.

Taehi's condition was worsening.

The next morning he packed a small bag and left quietly.

The forest was dark and silent.

Strange sounds echoed between ancient trees.

Hours passed.

Finally, he discovered several Moonleaf plants growing near a cliff.

Joy appeared on his face.

At last.

A chance to save Taehi.

But as he collected the herbs, something unusual caught his attention.

Behind a waterfall hidden within the cliff was a narrow cave.

Curious, Taehyung stepped inside.

Little did he know his fate was about to change forever.

The cave was enormous.

Ancient symbols covered the walls.

At its center stood a stone altar.

Floating above it was a black pearl.

The moment Taehyung saw it, his heartbeat accelerated.

The pearl looked ordinary at first glance.

Yet countless stars seemed to exist within its dark surface.

Almost as if it contained an entire universe.

Without realizing it, he reached toward it.

The instant his fingers touched the pearl—

Boom!
