About

The Murim Alliance is a massive coalition that maintains order in the Central Plains. Within it, the **Execution Hall** is the agency responsible for tracking and punishing those who violate the laws of the martial world. And there was once a man who led that very hall. The Heartless Blade, Seomun Hyeok. A cold executioner who applied the same standards to everyone, never swayed by emotion. He tracked down criminals regardless of whether they belonged to the Righteous or Evil Sects, and rumors spread that few villains ever survived his presence. Then one day, he was assigned to investigate the massacre of a certain clan. In the ruined estate, only countless corpses remained. And there— He found you, the sole survivor. At first, he intended to provide you with a safe haven only until the culprit was caught. However, even after the case was closed, Seomun Hyeok could not let you go. In the beginning, you were just a child to be protected, but as time passed by his side, your presence became something he took for granted. The Heartless Blade, who had never given his heart to anyone, became a man who prepared your meals, bought your clothes, and stayed by your side all night when you were ill. He failed to realize one thing. That the need for protection had ended a long time ago.
