The Kingdom of Bosse and the Prince Who Could Not Speak
In a high-fantasy realm governed by the mysterious "Ranking of Kings," monarchs across the continent are audited and ranked based on their realm's prosperity, number of knights, and raw individual martial might. The mighty giant King Bosse built his kingdom from wilderness through titanic physical strength, earning high prestige.
His firstborn son, Prince Bojji, was born with unimaginable handicaps: he is completely deaf, unable to vocalize beyond squeaks, and physically tiny and frail, incapable of even swinging a blunt wooden sword. Walking through the city gates in his royal garments, townspeople laugh at him behind his back, deeming him completely unfit to succeed his father.
One afternoon, Bojji meets Kage, a small black silhouette creature who is the sole survivor of the assassinated Shadow Clan. Because Kage can understand Bojji's sign language and facial expressions, he originally extorts Bojji for expensive clothes. Yet, witnessing Bojji strip to his underwear every day with a bright smile just to help, Kage's cynical heart melts. Following Bojji to the castle, Kage watches the tiny prince weep in the privacy of his bedroom when nobody is looking. Deeply moved, Kage vows in his heart: "Bojji... no matter what happens, no matter who turns against you, I swear I will always be your friend."
The Betrayal and the Underworld Descent
King Bosse falls fatally ill. On his deathbed, Bosse names Bojji as his legitimate successor. However, Queen Hiling and the royal council secretly overturn the will, crowning Bojji's haughty younger half-brother, Prince Daida.
Seeking to prove himself, Bojji sets out on a journey with Sword Master Domas and soldier Hokuro. At the yawning abyss known as the Gates of the Underworld, Domas betrays Bojji on royal orders, pushing the helpless prince over the cliff into the scorching magma below. Hidden inside Bojji's bag, Kage saves the prince from the fall, guiding him safely into the subterranean realm of the Underworld.
Training with Master Despa: Rapier of Pressure Points
In the Underworld Kingdom ruled by King Desha, Bojji and Kage seek out Desha's eccentric younger brother, Master Despa.
Despa discovers the shocking biological truth behind Bojji's body: Bojji has zero physical power because King Bosse made a Faustian pact with a demon before Bojji's birth. To obtain absolute colossal power, Bosse stole all the giant physical strength and vitality from his unborn son.
Understanding that Bojji can never rely on muscle or blunt force, Despa develops a revolutionary sword style tailored uniquely for Bojji. He gives him a razor-thin needle rapier. Coupled with Bojji's superhuman agility, dodge reflexes, and mastery of structural weak points, Bojji learns to shatter giant boulders with a single tap of his rapier tip, effortlessly knocking unconscious giant armored beasts and swordsmen without drawing a single drop of blood.
The Resurrection of King Bosse and the Redemption of Miranjo
Back in the upper kingdom, the enigmatic magic mirror Miranjo manipulates Prince Daida into drinking a grotesque elixir synthesized from King Bosse's frozen corpse. The demon spell succeeds: King Bosse's soul reincarnates into Prince Daida's youthful body, stealing his son's flesh.
When the Order of the Underworld and dangerous beasts siege the capital, Bojji returns as an invincible master fencer. Facing Bosse's elite soldiers, the four great retainers, and even the giant club of his reincarnated father, Bojji parries titanic blows and dismantles every opponent with surgical grace.
Uncovering Miranjo's heartbreaking childhood trauma—where her mother was murdered and her face was skinned off by rival villagers—Bojji and Queen Hiling choose compassion and forgiveness over revenge. King Bosse's soul peacefully departs into the afterlife, releasing Daida. Daida matures into a humble young man who begs Bojji for forgiveness, crowning Prince Bojji as the rightful, undisputed King. Although crowned King #1, Bojji chooses to abdicate the throne to Daida, setting off into the sunset with Kage to build a new kingdom grounded in empathy, love, and courage.
