Lee Ju-ho

Lee Ju-ho is a young Pocheon survivor who protects schoolchildren, teaches mathematics, and tries to keep local guild life respectable despite Sim Ah-ryeon's notorious online behavior. He also posts on SG Net under iJoinedToday or Anonymous. His later written farewell thanks Undertaker after his death in one cycle, preserving the modest voice of a caretaker better known for responsibility than supernatural power. (Chapters 11–12, 17, 27, 34–35, and 329)

Biography

Pocheon's embarrassed caretaker

Ju-ho is twenty-six when Undertaker meets him caring for children in Pocheon. He teaches mathematics, contributes to the local guild, and carries himself like a responsible older brother despite the physical demands of survival. His immediate problem is partly social: he asks Undertaker to help confront an online antagonist tied to his own guild, only for that connection to lead back toward Sim Ah-ryeon and the humiliating reputation of OldManGoryeo. (Chapters 11–12)

Ju-ho continues participating in survivor affairs and SG Net under the handles iJoinedToday and Anonymous, giving direct voice to a man otherwise occupied with practical care. In a later memorial context, he leaves Undertaker a final written thank-you. The farewell confirms his death in that route without fixing every cycle to the same outcome, and it emphasizes gratitude and duty rather than an unrecorded heroic transformation. (Chapters 17, 27, 34–35, and 329)

Appearance and personality

Ju-ho is a muscular, broad-shouldered twenty-six-year-old with short black hair, black eyes, and strong hands. His build suggests an intimidating fighter, but his behavior is kind, modest, righteous, and attentive to children. He is easily embarrassed by his guild's online conduct, particularly when Ah-ryeon's trolling becomes impossible to excuse, yet he continues acknowledging that her healing saves local lives. (Chapters 11–12, 17, and 27)

Abilities and skills

No named supernatural ability is established. Ju-ho is a competent armed survivor, guild worker, caretaker, and mathematics teacher whose value comes from reliability rather than an Awakening. His physical strength and broad frame support ordinary combat and labor, but no scene defines a formal combat rank or enhanced technique. His SG Net participation also shows enough practical literacy to navigate the survivor information network under pseudonyms. (Chapters 11–12, 17, 27, and 34–35)

Relationships

• Sim Ah-ryeon: Ah-ryeon is his guild colleague and the notorious OldManGoryeo. Ju-ho is ashamed of her behavior but cannot deny that her healing protects people around Pocheon. (Chapters 11–12 and 17)
• Undertaker: Ju-ho asks Undertaker for help in Pocheon and later leaves him a written expression of thanks, framing their bond through guidance and gratitude. (Chapters 11–12 and 329)

Items

• Ordinary or homemade weapon: Ju-ho carries practical survivor equipment rather than a named supernatural weapon. (Chapters 11–12)
• ZERO Coke: The soft drink appears among the small ordinary possessions that humanize his early survivor life. (Chapters 11–12)
• Hermes wallet and ID card: His wallet and identification preserve a concrete link to the civilian identity behind his forum handles. (Chapters 11–12)
