The Great Sage Wants to Die

Why shouldn’t you read a fantasy novel the day before the college entrance exam? There are roughly three reasons. 1. If you read a fantasy novel the day before the college entrance exam, there’s a high probability you’ll get hit by a truck and transmigrate. 2. Usually, a South Korean high school senior who dies right before the entrance exam becomes overpowered in another world. 3. Nevertheless, they face all sorts of hardships before actually becoming overpowered. Han Yoo-an, guilty of reading the 17-volume traditional fantasy novel “The Book of Irkuth” the day before the college entrance exam, ends up being hit by a truck on the way to the exam and dies. Did the heavens also feel sorry for the death of a student who scored perfectly on the September mock exam, on the very day of the college entrance exam? Han Yoo-an is abruptly dropped into the world of “The Book of Irkuth.” Is this finally the start of an overpowered high school student wreaking havoc in another world? That expectation was short-lived. Not only is it frustrating enough that he doesn’t understand the language, but he was mistakenly dropped into the imperial palace and became the empress’s pet human. On top of that, there are still four centuries left until the protagonist appears. Others, when transmigrating into novels, live well and comfortably, but it seems he must have committed some grave sin in his past life. There’s no way he’d be cursed with immortality unless he betrayed and sold out his country. After rolling around and surviving for 400 years, Han Yoo-an, acquiring the title of Great Sage, now simply… just wants to die peacefully. However, in order to die, he must make sure the descendant of the witch, Yekarina, who left the curse, becomes emperor… “Who are you? Why are you helping me?” ‘Oh God, have you finally decided to let me die? Thank you!’ Could this really be a birthday gift from God for his 400th birthday? The descendant of Yekarina, and the protagonist of this novel, has rolled right into his lap.
