Lee Kiyoung/Plot

THIS PAGE HAS SPOILERS, PROCEED CAREFULLY.

Tutorial Arc
Once he found himself in the other world, Lee Kiyoung observes some people that were around him through the Mind's Eye, allied with Park Deokgu, trying to improve his chances of survival. After escaping the room, he and Deokgu struggle to kill monsters, and end up saving Jung Hayan, a calculated move by Lee Kiyoung after confirming her potential growth, and right after, stumble onto Kim Hyunsung, a special existence according to Mind's Eye. Kiyoung, after considering the pros and cons, follows Hyunsung, along with Deokgu and Hayan to the survivor's camp he had established.

At the camp, the group meets the camp's representative Lee Jihye, whose status and growth capabilities were equal or inferior to Kiyoung's, and was also called Lee Kiyoung's soul mate by the Mind's Eye, although it also claims that their 2nd generation would be abominable, and warned him to prevent it from ever happening. Lee Kiyoung and Park Deokgu decide to head out as a party with Kim Hyunsung, so they would get to earn their own share of food and water, way more than what was being rationed to the survivors in the camp. After Lee Jihye accuses Jung Hayan of seducing one of the survivors, who was sexually harassing her, Kiyoung plays the situation to his favor, earning a great amount of trust and dependance from Jung Hayan, as well as establishing his position over Jihye's on the group. After acquiring his 1st job, Wizard, he helps Jung Hayan awaken hers by teaching what he learned as well as circling mana through her body.

He is soon approached by Lee Jihye, who wishes to establish a cooperative relationship with him. He accepts, kissing on the process and has her help him make Jung Hayan more reliant on him, which is also promoted by Park Deokgu, who was certain that Kiyoung and Hayan liked each other, and Kim Hyunsung, who did wanted Kiyoung to become an emotional anchor to Jung Hayan, preventing her ending to be the same as the 1st timeline.

Jung Hayan was hiding her progress in magic so she could spend more time with Kiyoung, who could actually check her progress and was annoyed that she was hiding it. He comes up with a plan to make her reveal it: make her jealous by getting closer to the other potential party member. The new members were as follow: a girl (indicated by Lee Jihye, according to their plan) and Jung Hayan (indicated by Lee Kiyoung, as he promised her) chosen by a totally not rigged random selection.

His plan however is too efective, causing Jung Hayan to attack the girl with magic, severing her 4 limbs and making her unable to talk due to a barrier, when they get separated from the group after the new girl messes up. Lee Kiyoung, who found them and quickly understood the situation, chose the most obvious solution: support the crazy Jung Hayan. He could not save the severely bleeding Park Hyaeyoung and could only pretend to be trying to save her. He burned her to destroy evidence.

After returning to the camp, the guy who was sexually harassing Hayan, Seokwoo, leads Jung Jinho, a psypathic killer on the 1st timeline, and his group to the camp. Kiyoung, recognizing the bad blood between Jinho and Hyunsung, suggest to Hyunsung that Jinho killed the girl, noting that her limbs were cut off by magic.

Hyunsung decides to take care of them during the middle of the dungeon raid, after Kiyoung provokes and gets attacked by Seokwoo. After killing them, the group manages to clear the tutorial in record time, getting recognition of the major guilds. Kiyoung becomes an an alchemist as his 2nd job due to Hyunsung tempting him with Ramus Tucker's Introduction to Alchemy. Despite the negative view of alchemists in general, he manages to show remarkable skill in applying alchemy to his spells in the demonstrations and gets a good deal with the Blue Guild, which Hyunsung insisted on joining. He also gets approached by Cha Heera who offers him and Hayan spots on the Red Mercenaries Guild, to which he thanks but apologizes, seeing that they wanted to remain a party. Before leaving, Cha Heera kisses him in front of everyone to teach Jung Hayan a lesson.

Later, after noticing the huge amount of funds required for alchemy, he goes to Cha Heera looking for a sponsorship, to which she agrees if he becomes her lover, noting that his face is exactly her type: calculating snake. In the end he manages to convince her, by making use of her disposition, Unpredictable Inovator, and having her invest a lot in him. The rumours soon start of the gifts sent by Cha Heera, and he gets a title Red Mercenary Queen's Gigolo.

1st Timeline
Very Little is Known of his 1st Timeline version.

He was very sadistic and had inferiority complex as of shown through Kasugano Yuno, he had tortured both Kasugano Yuno and Jung Hayan.

He joined the brigade some time after Park Deokgu's death, which Jung Jinhoo was a part of, with the head as Lee Jihye.

His 2nd Timeline version thinks of the other version as "Irresistible Trash".
