1. Prologue: The Clown from Joseon
The place where Jinha opened his eyes was a different world.
"Huuuh..."
Rubbing his hands together to dry-wash his face, he slowly thought back, and memories began to surface bit by bit.
The situation before he lost consciousness.
'Just moments ago, surely...'
Jinha, an eoreumsani—a tightrope walker—in the Joseon 'Cheongmae' troupe, who even served as the kkokdusoe, the leader of the performing troupe.
Having walked the rope for 18 years already since the age of five, he was a central figure of the troupe.
On the day he lost consciousness, too, he had been holding a performance in a village that had granted them permission, no different from any other day.
Jjaeng-jjaeng, jjaeng-jjae-jaeng—kkagang-kkang-kkang-kkagang—
The sound of the kkwaenggwari echoed through the village, and plates flew into the air.
Since it was a village that had granted them a performance after a fortnight, all the troupe members were excited and played the pungak with all their might.
Following the gilgunak, the splendid dance of the salpansoe began in the area encircled by the villagers.
Forward somersaults, lightning somersaults, saucer flips, and even the hwaro salpan—spinning through the air while grasping a fiercely blazing brazier.
As these dazzling skills unfolded, the heat of the performance grew even more intense.
When all the performance sequences ended, the final turn was Jinha's.
As always, before stepping onto the rope, after performing the rope ritual, he took a deep breath and climbed onto the rope.
'And then I lost consciousness...'
All he remembered was that something flew at him the moment he stepped onto the rope, and he lost consciousness.
Whether it collided with him, merely brushed past him, or light had entered Jinha's body.
He could not remember anything at all.
"How absurd."
After wandering in a dream, he came to his senses to find himself here.
Wondering if he was still in a dream, he had slapped his cheeks several times, but his cheeks only swelled up for nothing.
Biting his trembling lips tightly, he looked around.
Objects he had never seen since birth.
Unfamiliar air.
And characters floating before his eyes.
'Characters?'
[A base passive has been applied.]
[Inheriting a portion (32%) of the consciousness and experience remaining in the body.]
[You can see the information of people within 1 meter. Rank: 1]
"Huuuh...?"
Jinha stared at the characters rising one after another, his mouth hanging wide open.
