Within the southern half of the Joseon Kingdom, which was currently occupied by the Japanese Empire, a young boy no older than thirteen stood in his village. This boy's name was Cha Jong-Su, and he was the son of a local rice farmer. However, despite his young age, the boy did not have the slightest look of innocence in his dark eyes.
Instead, a glint of fierce determination unleashed itself upon the nearby Japanese soldiers, who were conducting anti-insurgency operations within the village. Luckily for him, they did not catch a sight of the boy as he hid behind the exterior wall of a small house.
