The moonlight spilled through the thin curtains, casting a pale glow across Kim’s room. The quiet was almost oppressive, but it was a silence that allowed his thoughts to roam freely, as if the stillness of the night gave space for the weight of his ambitions to settle deeper into his mind. He lay still in his bed, the faint rustle of his younger siblings'' breathing filling the room with a sense of calm, but Kim’s mind was far from peaceful. Tonight was different. He wasn’t just lying here, waiting for the morning like every other night. Tonight, he was preparing for something monumental.


    Kim thought about the world that awaited him at Haneul University. A world where the rich, the powerful, and the elite controlled everything—their wealth and influence making them untouchable. He would be one of them. But the path to that world was not easy, and no one had handed him a key to unlock the doors. He would have to fight for every inch. The knowledge, the connections, the respect—he would have to earn it all.


    Tomorrow, everything would change.


    In the quiet darkness, Kim made a vow to himself: He would not be a mere student. He would not blend into the background, forgotten among the others. He would rise above them all, not just as a student, but as someone who would rewrite his fate.


    His mind drifted back to the mall—the rich students shopping without a care in the world, their laughter and easy smiles a stark reminder of how far away their lives felt from his. They had no idea what it was like to struggle, to fight for every little scrap. For them, money was a given, a guarantee. But Kim knew better. Nothing in his life had ever been a guarantee. He had worked for every ounce of success he had earned.


    And now, he was ready to fight for the next step. No more hiding in the shadows. No more being the quiet, humble kid. No more letting others dictate his path.


    His mind wandered to his parents, the sacrifices they’d made for him to get to this point. His mother’s soft smile, his father’s quiet encouragement—these were the things that kept him grounded. They believed in him, and that was something Kim would never take for granted. But he knew that belief wasn’t enough. He had to prove that he was worthy of it, that he could live up to the promise of his family’s faith in him.


    The road ahead was daunting. Kim had always known it would be. But tonight, lying in the dark with nothing but his thoughts, he felt an unfamiliar confidence settle into his bones. This wasn’t just about college anymore. This was about revenge. This was about taking everything that had once been denied to him.


    Tomorrow, he would step into a new world, one where he had the power to shape his future. But more than that, he would begin to unravel the very fabric of the life that had humiliated him for so long.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.


    The thought made his pulse quicken.


    His parents had always been there for him, supporting him no matter what. But their lives were never easy, never filled with the opportunities that others took for granted. And that was where the bitterness grew—the way the world had kept them down. The way his family had been overlooked, forgotten, ignored. No one had ever cared about them. And that was the truth that Kim carried with him, a truth that burned like a fire in his chest.


    He could still hear the laughter of the rich kids in the mall, the way they spoke in those condescending tones, oblivious to the lives that existed beyond their expensive clothes and perfect smiles. They would never understand what it was like to fight for every little thing. But soon enough, they would.


    Kim sat up in bed, his eyes wide in the darkness. He could almost feel the weight of it all—the responsibility, the expectations, and the burning desire to prove everyone wrong. Tomorrow was the first day of a new life. But it was more than that. It was the first step in a plan he had been cultivating for years—a plan that would take him from the depths of poverty to the heights of power. A plan that would give him everything he deserved and more.


    He thought about the people who had tormented him, who had laughed at him, who had seen him as nothing more than a poor kid with no future. They were nothing to him now. The people who had belittled his dreams—his professors, his classmates, his childhood peers—they would all regret underestimating him.


    Kim’s fingers curled into fists as he thought about the climb ahead. It wasn’t going to be easy. It wasn’t going to be without sacrifice. But nothing worth having ever was.


    The future felt closer now. The weight of it, the excitement, and the fear all mixed together, propelling him forward. He would step into that world tomorrow, and the first move would be his. He would be noticed, he would stand out, and no one would be able to ignore him anymore.


    His heart raced. His mind buzzed with plans, with strategies, with the faces of the people who would soon fall under his shadow.


    The university doors would open to him, but it would be up to him to make them realize he was not just another student. He would be the heir to a legacy—a legacy of power, wealth, and influence. The dynasty would be his. And those who had ridiculed him would soon see just how far he could rise.


    Kim stood, his body feeling light as the weight of his thoughts fueled him with an energy he hadn’t known before. Tomorrow was the beginning, but it was only the beginning. It would be the first step in a journey that would take him to unimaginable heights.


    “I won’t forget where I came from,” he whispered to himself as he looked at the window, his eyes fixed on the distant city lights. “But I’m going to make sure the world never forgets me.”


    Kim lay back down, the fire inside him burning bright. As sleep finally took him, he knew that tomorrow, he would take the first step in a journey that would change everything.


    And from that moment on, there would be no turning back.
