I Became the Outcast of the Count's Family. Volume 4

«I Became the Outcast of the Count's Family. Volume 4 (I Became the Count's Bastard). Novella» — a fantasy about a man who finds himself inside a familiar story and tries not to let it crush him and those around him. At the center — Kim Roksu, living in the body of Keil Henityuz, the heir of a count's family with a bad reputation, over whose house the threat of war is already looming. According to Yu Ryo Han's design, the story of the transmigrator quickly goes beyond personal survival: strategy, allies, political pressure, and the cost of the decisions made on the eve of a major confrontation are important here. The fourth volume amplifies the military line of the cycle and places the hero in a situation where the dream of a quiet life as a rich idle person again retreats in the face of the necessity to defend the county.

The native county turns out to be one of the first targets of the offensive, and there is hardly any time left for preparation. The hero has to gather forces, calculate moves, and seek a way to change the outcome of events, which in the version known to him seemed almost predetermined. Opposing him is an army commanded by Klopa Sekki — the knight-guardian of the kingdom of Faern, whose strength seems insurmountable. This volume has plenty of tactics, negotiations, tense confrontations, and a constant feeling that any mistake will cost not only one person dearly but an entire territory.

Kim Roksu / Keil Henityuz — a transmigrator from modern Korea, who uses his knowledge of the plot, calmness, and strategic thinking to survive and change the course of events.
Choi Han — one of the most important allies, connected to the original version of this story. His strength and personal experience make him a prominent figure in the team.
Alberu Crossman — the heir prince, a smart and cautious politician. An alliance with him provides support but also brings new obligations.
Raon Miru — a young dragon, combining immense strength with childlike spontaneity. He holds an important place among those who fight alongside Keil.

This is the fourth book of the cycle «I Became the Outcast of the Count's Family». It continues the overall story, so it is better to read it after the previous volumes: the relationships between the heroes, political arrangements, and the significance of past decisions work at full strength here. The volume does not start a new independent line but develops a large conflict that had been building up before.
