Killer Whale Baby

Prologue

“Haah, haah.”

The sky was pitch black.

Black smoke filled the surroundings, and a foul smell lingered in the air.

I struggled to open my eyelids, stained with blood, and looked around at the lifeless bodies one by one.

‘…That guy is the main character, and that one is the sub-male lead.’

When I turned my head away from the scattered figures, more dead bodies were writhing in a pile.

If I had to point out something peculiar… they all had the same hair color.

The same hair color as mine.

They were my brothers.

‘The first one, the one gripping the sword until the end… the second one… the third one, sobbing without even closing his eyes.’

Now, I don’t have much time left.

I let out an irritated sigh.

‘Ah, am I not going to surpass the age of 22 in this round as well?’

There was no fear unique to someone facing death.

Because I’m already doing this for the third time.

Surprisingly, this world is inside a book of the childcare genre.

I have experienced this world a total of three times.

I’m exhausted.

At the age of 20, 21, and now 22.

They were all ages at which I died.

I sympathized as I watched my family members dying or on the verge of death.

“…It’s not even a sin to be born into a villainous family. Pfft.”

If I’m going to be reincarnated in a book, there won’t be another human living as pitifully as me.

And on top of that, if I was reincarnated in an adorable childcare story, even more so.

I slowly lifted my head.

A black mass filled the sky.

Amidst that, a human figure was floating gently.

Behind the floating man, smoke formed a certain shape.

It was a dragon.

To explain, that man was a living dragon.

Known as the Dragon Duke.

And the situation that unfolded was caused by that dragon becoming enraged and going on a rampage.

‘Haah, I wish there were no next round. But that’s unlikely to happen.’

No matter how much nonsense I spout, why doesn’t fate change?

Now, even my own life felt like it was coming to an end.

At the same time, the man raised his hand, and a black sphere formed in his hand.

A massive black sphere.

If I think about how an entire city was obliterated by something much smaller than that, this will surely be the end.

‘If those crazy male leads didn’t provoke that Dragon Duke to go on a rampage…!’

Why did they have to meddle with that reckless Dragon Duke in the first place, creating this situation!

‘No, does it even make sense for the ending of a childcare story to be annihilation?!’

Finally, I stared blankly at the sky and abruptly opened my eyes.

The man floating in the sky, the explosion of that black sphere, and probably a world on the brink of destruction.

Something familiar appeared through the shattered sky.

Familiar streets, familiar bridges and roundabouts. And Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung Palace…

T/N: they both are places in south Korea please lookup on google

‘Wait. Seoul streets?!’

I didn’t see it wrong.

Now, the Seoul streets were dearly missed.

I spotted a clear Korean signboard and widened my eyes even more.

‘Why can I see that? Ah, if I go in that direction, I might be able to go back home!’

However, unfortunately… my eyes were slowly closing.

What’s this? Finally, I found my hometown…!

It was unjust.

I couldn’t endure any longer.

But even as I looked at the approaching black sphere, I felt exhilaration.

That’s it, if it’s that, I can live longer!

I can go back home.

Facing death, I chuckled softly.

Round 3 of my life in a childcare story.

In the next life, I will conquer the dragon.
