Lee Hoyeol learned about the demon king in Frost in the previous chapter. Readers are excited about his mission in The Player Who Hides His Past, Chapter 41.
Lee Hoyeol welcomed Baek Yiseol’s demon and told her that he did not expect her to be one of his guests. Lee Hoyeol thought that even a demon wouldn’t visit at such a late hour.
Lee Hoyeol told the demon that she was sharper than he thought. Lee Hoyeol asked the demon if her behavior would allow her to appear through someone’s window in the middle of the night.
The demon told him that she remembered that he told her to behave. The demon apologized to him for forgetting that, and Lee Hoyeol noticed that he couldn’t see the silhouette of Baek Yiseol from before.
Lee Hoyeol was wondering what happened to Baek Yiseol, he was wondering if she was sealed or not. Lee Hoyeol couldn’t see Baek Yiseol, meanwhile, the demon wasn’t sure what Lee Hoyeol was talking about.
Because she was standing right in front of him. She asked Lee Hoyeol if he wondered about the dead girl. The demon mentioned that Baek Yiseol was dead and explained that she stabbed herself like a crazy person.
She explained that the girl could have died of shock because she could no longer feel anything. The demon asked Lee Hoyeol what he expected from a crazy person like Baek Yiseol.
She believed that Baek Yiseol was naive to think that she could do something to her. Lee Hoyeol couldn’t believe that Baek Yiseol was dead.
The demon told Lee Hoyeol that Baek Yiseol died because of him. Lee Hoyeol explained that Baek Yiseol kept saying nonsense and told her that Lee Hoyeol was the only one who could see her.
Lee Hoyeol remembered that there was an article written about Baek Yiseol’s father’s scandal when she was only 8 years old.
Baek Yiseol didn’t need to do anything to make the media pay attention to her, she was bullied at school and in the neighborhood.
Summarize
In the end, Baek Yiseol’s mother committed suicide due to depression during that time. Baek Yiseol’s father told the media that though Baek Yiseol was a mistake.
He couldn’t let his child grow up alone without her parents, so he decided to take her home. A few years later, Baek Yiseol awakened as a player, and she tried her best to break through.
She always does what her father tells her because she wants to be loved by him. She finally has the chance to stand up to those who despise and hate her.
She decided to take revenge on the people who pushed her mother to death. The demon mentioned that Baek Yiseol wasn’t special until the very end.
The demon informed Lee Hoyeol that Baek Yiseol told her that she would pay him because he believed in her. The demon told him that Baek Yiseol did all that for nothing.
Lee Hoyeol told the demon to shut up. The demon told Lee Hoyeol how dare he talk to her like that. When he was just a demon, and warned him that he was quite arrogant.
The demon found Lee Hoyeol quite scary. Lee Hoyeol suddenly found himself in an unknown place. He believes it happened because he accidentally triggered an exorcism ritual.
He was confused about how it happened since there was no sacrifice. Lee Hoyeol saw Grandfell in the crowd and realized it was Grandfell’s mental realm.
Suddenly, Lee Hoyeol’s chest started to hurt, it felt like someone was squeezing it. Lee Hoyeol saw Grandfell’s story and realized it was his memory.
