It is a warm and sorrowful, desperate yet strong story; it is also a story that is close to life and breathes with us. About "The Deer King": When the herd of flying deer is attacked, only one deer will jump out to sacrifice itself to save its companions — because it was born to do so. The meaning of some lives is to be born to die. Van, after the death of his wife and child, joins the suicide squad "Unicorn" to be able to reunite with his family in another world. However, during a catastrophic battle, he survives in a state of rage and despair, becoming a slave trapped in an underground salt mine. One night, a group of mysterious black dogs attacks the salt mine, leading to the death of everyone, yet he, who seeks death, narrowly escapes death once again. After escaping the mine, he discovers a baby girl, Yuna, who survived thanks to her mother’s concealment, and from then on, they depend on each other. However, how can someone who has long abandoned themselves and has no attachment to the world protect a newborn life? Hesaru, a genius physician, is called the "Son of the Demon God" behind his back because his research is not accepted by the mainstream. However, he believes that as long as he does not give up, he can find a cure for even the most challenging diseases. Hesaru is ordered to investigate the salt mine incident and learns that the escaped slave may hold the key to unraveling the mystery, yet he does not realize he will uncover a shocking dark secret… When the fates of the two intertwine unintentionally, a highly impactful story unfolds.
