At four years old, Astyer received her father’s death notice. He died leaving nothing behind but tall tales of being a hero from a lost empire.
Then, a mysterious creature offered her a deal: “Return to the world where he is still alive.”
Astyer took the leap, expecting the noble Paladin from her father’s stories. Instead, she found a rugged, high-ranking mercenary captain who treats the battlefield like a business.
Her dad wasn’t just a dreamer; he was a man with a massive, dangerous secret.

This is probably the most original and most satisfying manhwa I’ve read in a long time. Thanks for picking this one up. The mix of quite serious subjects and occasional dark artwork combined with the absolutely adorable MC is executed brilliantly. You could almost believe they could pull it off, having a 4 year old “necromancer King” pose as their mercenary captain 😀
The cuteness also feels real and not forced as in most childcare manhwa. This is a kid in a dark fantasy world, being protected by a team of foster dads with reasons to protect her. The misunderstandings don’t feel forced either, trying to find a four year old’s real dad, by piecing together the confusing info she gives will be real recognizable to anyone who’s around kids a lot.
Nice work on the translations. I read it up to 28 somewhere else but now I’m bookmarking this here for sure. Hope you guys never drop this one, but I can see this one becoming very popular sooner or later if the author and artist keep up this quality, so I’m not too worried.
