The altered history of forgotten survivors

Seon was never meant to escape. Raised in a sinister orphanage hiding dark experiments, he spent his childhood surrounded by fear, silence, and disappearing children. When he uncovered the horrifying truth behind the place, he made a daring escape—only to enter a world where survival was just as brutal.

Years later, Seon has buried his past, living under the radar as a lowly logistics worker in the military. But fate has other plans. When a catastrophic earthquake strikes a forbidden mountain, Seon is forced to join the rescue effort—only to wake up buried alive in an unknown forest, his body healing mysteriously at night but remaining wounded during the day.

Lost in a land forgotten by time, he soon faces a life-or-death battle against the Wolf King, a beast of legend. Against all odds, he wins—and awakens a terrifying ability: by shedding his own blood and concentrating, he can see the memories of the land itself. But this power comes at a price. He can only use it once a month unless he strengthens himself through relentless training and by gathering rare treasures.

As he journeys deeper into this hidden world, Seon unearths long-buried secrets, ancient wars, and powerful factions that would rather see history remain forgotten. Along the way, he forms unexpected bonds, faces heartbreaking betrayals, and discovers that the world he once knew is just the surface of something far greater.

When his path leads him to the Castle of Souls, a mythical fortress lost for over 2000 years, Seon realizes that his past, his power, and the fate of the world are more connected than he ever imagined.

But some truths should never be uncovered.

As unseen enemies close in and time runs out, Seon must decide: Will he fight for a future he never believed in? Or will he let the past consume him?

A tale of survival, mystery, and the relentless pursuit of the truth, The Forgotten Survivor takes readers on a gripping journey of power, sacrifice, and the weight of history itself.
