I Became a Raid Boss

In Earth, there are not no cases where children who have not yet reached adulthood go to the battlefield.

Children soldiers, also called "boy soldiers," who take up guns and swords at an immature age.

Even when looking a bit back in history, it is something often seen, and despite human rights awareness and children's rights taking root in modern times, it hasn't disappeared completely.

Especially in regions where religious and ethnic conflicts are rampant, it was common to abduct, imprison, and brainwash children, using them as cannon fodder and sexual objects.

The story of soldiers agonizing over whether or not to pull the trigger while aiming a gun at a child has become widely known, making countless people angry and sad.

When people get angry and sad after hearing the story, it is a clear sign that they feel sympathy for it.

There are many tragic stories in the world, but the reason people feel sorrow for the death of a child is perhaps because a life that has not yet fully bloomed is tragically cut short.

And now, Yerim, who is looking at Kana, feels the same way.

‘Poor child.’

The day Yerim unexpectedly met Kana at Da-eun’s house...

Even though they were not even close to being good parents, it must have been someone to rely on for a child who had not even entered elementary school.

After losing their parents at a young age and wandering around, it seemed like Kana was miraculously adopted by a kind stepfather and lived happily. However, that happiness did not last long.

Of course, Yerim did not know the full truth up until that point, and there were many aspects of her thoughts that were far from the facts.

However, that alone was enough to make Yerim feel sympathy for Kana, and as she watched Kana being gently stroked by Da-eun, Yerim thought to herself.

She wanted to show this child the warmth of a family.

Since Yerim was also a mother herself, Kana's past deeply saddened her.

But then—

When she first encountered the truth, revealed due to recent events in Seoul, Yerim was utterly shocked.

What she had thought was a poor child with a sad past turned out to be an NPC from a game Da-eun used to enjoy, who had come to Earth to save it after being asked by a god from another world.

It was unbelievable at first, but the continuous chatter forced Yerim to confront the reality.

Once she learned about Kana’s hidden past…@@novelbin@@

And when she saw his face calmly revealing it, Yerim felt:

‘This child is more broken than I thought.’

Values change depending on the era and culture, but even considering that, Kana's attitude in revealing his past was not normal.
