I Killed An Academy Player

The central character of the story, Corin Loch begins as a kind, gentle, and courageous 17-year-old minor NPC. His life changes dramatically after he discovers Park Sihoo's heinous crimes against innocent NPCs. When the system unexpectedly grants him a second chance by sending him back in time, Corin makes the decisive choice to assassinate the original Player and take his place in the game world.

Throughout the series, we witness Corin's growth from a powerless NPC to a formidable Player with the responsibility of saving the world. His intimate knowledge of the game's mechanics and future events gives him a unique advantage, but also presents moral dilemmas as he navigates his new role.

Marie Dunarev is one of the most beloved characters in the series. As one of Corin's closest allies, she plays a crucial role in his journey throughout the storyline. Marie's character development is particularly noteworthy as she develops strong romantic feelings for Corin, adding an emotional dimension to the action-packed narrative.

What makes Marie's character compelling is her unwavering loyalty and strength, even as Corin remains oblivious to her affections for much of the story. Her combat abilities and strategic mind make her an invaluable companion in Corin's quest to fulfill his role as the new Player.

Park Sihoo represents the dark side of power in this fantasy world. As the original "Player" in the game world, he abuses his privileged position by murdering innocent NPCs and stealing their items for personal gain. His actions serve as the catalyst for the entire plot, as they ultimately lead to Corin's decision to eliminate him and take his place.

Though Sihoo's physical presence is limited after his early demise, his legacy continues to impact the story. The consequences of his actions create numerous challenges for Corin, who must not only assume Sihoo's role but also deal with the ripple effects of his predecessor's cruelty throughout the narrative.
