UNFORGIVABLE SIN

_200 years ago_

Kang Dae Jung paced back and forth in his yard feeling restless. There his wife was struggling to give birth to their first child. Kang Dae Jung is not a rich man. He could only afford to pay a traditional birth attendant to help deliver his wife. While the fee for a healer is certainly very expensive. Only nobles could summon healers if they were sick. Actually there was a female healer who used to help with childbirth. However, the female healer was extremely arrogant. She never wanted to help poor people. She only wanted to help nobles and rich merchants. Not long after, the female shaman names, Aerum came out with a listless face. Kang Dae Jung immediately approached the middle-aged woman.

"How's my wife and kids? They're all right, aren't they?" Dae Jung asked. Aerum shook her head slowly.

"Your child was born safely. However, your wife Kim Hye Yun is bleeding and can't be saved. I'm sorry," replied Aerum quietly. Kang Dae Jung ran to his room. And he found his wife was lying stiff. While beside her their baby seems to be crying. Slowly, Dae Jung approached his wife's body. He kissed his wife's forehead. Then, in the arms of their baby, crying bitterly. Your name is Kang Xiang Le. Hopefully someday you will be as beautiful as the moon goddess. And, your fate will not be like your father and mother," said Dae Jung sadly. With the help of his close neighbors, Dae Jung buried Kim Hye Yun. A neighbor of Dae Jung who happens to be breastfeeding volunteers to become a nurse for Kang Xiang Lee. It makes Dae Jung feel grateful.

That morning, as usual Dae Jung worked in the market as a porter. It was the only job he could do. He never learned to write and read like the children of scholars and aristocrats. At that time, only children from wealthy families could go to school. Only the children of kings, nobles, rich merchants and merchants. It is also arranged based on the groups. The merchant's kids will only hang out with other merchant's children. Merchant's son with merchant's son. Children of nobles and children of royal dignitaries of course with other nobles. So, the rich will remain rich and the poor will continue to be poor. However, while carrying a sack of rice, a market thug accidentally bumps into Dae Jung. Of course the rice that Dae Jung brought fell, and unfortunately, the rice sack was torn, so the rice spilled out. This made the merchant Wok Jien furious. He immediately slashed his horse whip into Dae Jung's body.

"Can't you work?! Even a month's salary won't be able to buy this sack of rice. Insolent!" Wok Jien rebuked.

"Sorry, my lord. I didn't mean to, it was because Zhou hit me earlier," Dae Jung said defensively. "Get out of my sight now. And I won't give you your salary this month. Think of it as compensation, and you can no longer work in this market! Go now, go!!" Dae Jung immediately pleads under Wok Jien's feet, but Wok Jien immediately kicks him hard.

"I said go, then go! Or do you want me to send a bouncer to torture you?!" Wok Jien immediately stepped into his shop. While Dae Jung was only able to cry bitterly. He got up and walked out of the market with a sad heart. How will I continue our life, Dae Jung thought sadly. He remembered his kid who had just been born a few days ago. In fact, his wife's grave was still red. Dae Jung is really desperate. He walked aimlessly, and he decided to rest at the end of the village. While staring at the expanse of green fields Dae Jung thought hard. And, I don't know what demon possessed his mind, Dae Jung screamed with all his might, he let out all his emotions. Luckily no one saw or happened to pass by there. Full of emotion and revenge, Dae Jung returns home. He took a machete and sharpened it until it was sharp. With emotion, Dae Jung half-runs back to the market. Full of anger, he then ransacked Wok Jien's shop. He doesn't know where that power comes from. Dae Jung can easily defeat all of Wok Jien's merchant bouncers. Wok Jien, who looked shocked, panicked to see that his bouncers had died in Dae Jung's hands.

Regardless of Wok Jien's plea, Dae Jung slashes his machete. After Wok Jien died, Dae Jung took all the money and valuables from Wok Jien's cash drawer and immediately left. Dae Jung goes straight to Liu Wen's house, a neighbor who takes care of her daughter. "This is for you, please treat my daughter like your own. Never tell me who her real parents are. I'm going far away. I beg you, you take good care of my daughter," Dae Jung asked Liu Wen and his wife. He handed Liu Wen a lot of money as well as gold bars.

"You guys go far away from here right now. I will take you. No need to bring anything. I think the money is more than enough," Dae Jung said again.

"But, what is this actually my brother?" asked Liu Wen.

"Never mind, we'd better go now." Liu Wen and his wife Wang Zhaojun just obeyed and carried their daughter Xia Ling while carrying Kang Xiang Lee. They left their village and headed to a neighboring village. After making sure Liu Wen and his family were safe, Kang Dae Jung said goodbye.

"Once again, I leave my daughter to you," he said before leaving. Before he knew it, two angels of death had followed in his footsteps. Kang Dae Jung walked aimlessly. He knew that right now he must be being sought by the officers for killing people. With shaky footsteps accompanied by deep regret, Kang Dae Jung stopped at the side of a cliff and without thinking, he jumped into the abyss. Dae Jung looked at his body which was already at the bottom of the abyss with a sad heart. He looked left and right. Two people dressed in black seemed to be staring at him intently. "Kang Dae Jung, we are 111 and 142. We are grim reapers whose job is to bring your soul to the king of hell. This is your 7th life and, because you have sinned, you will enter the earth's crust. 7th tier of hell. You will remember all your sins from your first life to your last life. And, you will be eternally there." Kang Dae Jung could only be silent. And then followed the two grim reapers who picked him up to undergo eternal punishment.
