Kim Rok-su lived by a simple rule: never get hit. But that philosophy is put to the ultimate test when he wakes up as Cale Henituse, the spoiled trash of a noble house in the novel Birth of a Hero. According to the original plot, Cale is the first minor villain destined to be pulverized by the story’s protagonist, Choi Han. With the beating of a lifetime looming on the horizon, Kim Rok-su decides to hijack the narrative before it is too late.

He is not interested in glory, saving the kingdom, or becoming a legend. His heart is set on the ultimate dream: the slacker life. Armed with the knowledge of a book he never finished, Cale begins collecting ancient powers and powerful allies, all while pretending he is just a selfish noble looking out for himself. But the more he tries to secure a quiet, wealthy future, the more he finds himself at the center of a brewing global war.

Between outsmarting gods and accidentally adopting a dragon, Cale’s path to a lazy retirement is paved with high-octane action and brilliant tactical maneuvers. This is a story about a man who refuses to be a hero, yet somehow manages to play the part better than anyone else. Forget the typical power-fantasy tropes; Lout of Count's Family is a masterclass in world-building and character chemistry, featuring a protagonist who uses his brain to dominate the battlefield.
