Joseph Kaizer had lived his whole life for his kingdom, Shilla. Ever since he had been a young lad in the small village of Shinhwa, he had always been fascinated by the tales of heroes who accomplished many great deeds of valor. Dreaming of a day in the future when his stories would also be told, he carved a sword out of wood and began training himself from the age of six. Focusing on just perfecting his swing, he would constantly practice from sunset till then sun went down.

When he finally reached adulthood at the age of sixteen, Joseph packed up his bag, said goodbye to his parents, and headed toward the capital to enlist in the army. While he was taking the enlistment exam, Sir Winterhold, a famous knight within the Kingdom of Shilla passed by and saw the sword pratice. Intrigued by Joseph's potential, he took him under his wing to train him.

For the next five years, Joseph followed Sir Winterhold everywhere, taking care of menial tasks and training. Following his mentor around, Joseph learned about the art of warfare from the times when he was in attendance for the war meetings. After his tutelage under Sir Winterhold had been completed, Joseph was immediately admitted into the Officer Corps.

During the past thirteen years, Joseph accomplished many great deeds for his kingdom, making a name for himself throughout the continent as the "Undefeatable Lion", always charging to the front lines with his men and fighting ferociously. To his allies, Joseph was a symbol of victory while to his enemies he was an enigma that caused them dread when seen. Quickly raising through the ranks, by the tenth year of his service, Joseph became the symbol of the Shilla army's strength and received the position of General of Shilla's army. During these glorious thirteen years, Joseph had seen various kinds of different scenes on a battlefield. Some showed the good sides of humanity, some the dark. He had even seen some scenes that could only be though of as a miracle, but none of these prepared him for the scene that was in front of him right now.

On this night, the twin blue moons Artius and Alela shone brightly, illuminating the whole world in its warm light. Inside the Pavillion area within the Shilla Imperial Palace, where a ray of shone down, a portion of the garden within was covered with a thin layer of frost. Six Imperial Guards, the elite of the elites within the Shilla army, were standing in awkward positions without making even one slight movement. If you looked closely, you could barely make out that the guards had a thin layer of ice surrounding their bodies. In the middle of this unbelievable scene, a white dire wolf stood majesticly while looking at his foes.

The dire wolf was humongous, standing at least three times larger than an ordinary wolf. Even for Joseph, who stood at 6'2, the wolf reached all the way up to his chest. Where the dire wolf should have fur, a coat of ice shards covered it.

Beside the dire wolf was a tall human figure that was currently petting it under the chin. The human stood at about 6'0 and had his body covered by a gray cloak, hiding his figure underneath. Even though you couldn't see his features, Joseph immediately recognized the male.

Just a few moments ago, this boy had stood in front of the beloved King and Queen in the audience hall beside the summoned hero. In front of everyone, he had demanded that they both be sent back to their world. To the nobles and upper military command present, the boy had rubbed off as a snotty brat, making them sneer at him in contempt. Many had taken offense to the way he had spoken to his Majesty and her Higness, making some among the Imperial Guards come up with a plan to teach him a lesson. Catching wind of this, Joseph had immediately ran out to put an end to this nonsense. Even though he also didn't appreciate the boy's tone, he still felt sympathy for him as he had been thrown into a completely new world all of a sudden on somebody else's whim.

What greeted Joseph when he arrived, however, was this incredible scene. Seeing the situation, he finally realized that everyone had been gravely mistaken about this boy. This boy was no fool or weakling. He was actually a wolf hidden in the disguise of a sheep. This boy far surpassed the actual hero in strength. If somebody had told him then that he was stronger than the demon lord, he'd actually believe them.

For a few moments all Joseph could do was gape his mouth in speechlessness. Finally regaining some for of composure, he is finally able to blurt out a few words.

"Ju... just what the hell are you?!"

Turning around slightly to face towards Joseph, the boy answer back with five words...

"Yim Soo Hyun, a Summoner"
