Who will protect the Murim from its own rot?
The current Murim enjoys prosperity thanks to the 'Seven Righteous Heroes of Jianghu' who supposedly defeated the evil Demonic Cult. In reality, these are 'Fake Heroes' who, when the tide of battle turned against them 30 years ago during the 'Battle of Namyeong Valley,' lured the cult's leadership into a peace treaty only to massacre them with a lethal poison (Heavenly Soul-Severing Powder) along with innocent civilians, stealing all the credit. The seven, including Alliance Leader Dokgo Jin and Tang Clan Head Tang Hyeon, have monopolized power while sharing this hideous secret, perfectly manipulating and controlling the history of Jianghu. However, the crack in the truth begins with a minor administrative error: a contradiction in grain transport records stating the supply route was cut off by rain, and the abnormal consumption of aconite—a poison-related herb—by the participating clans. The protagonist, blocked by the wall of power and seething with rage, meets Wei Eun-rang, the head of the secret society Ghost Mask Society and master of information at Nak-hwa Pavilion. Together, they begin a rebellion to overturn the hypocritical Jianghu. Will you change this rotting Murim and become a new hero? Or will you give up without even starting?

Wuxia Setting
30 years ago, the seven heroes of the Righteous Faction, the 'Seven Righteous Heroes of Jianghu,' were said to have beheaded the Heavenly Demon and brought peace to Jianghu. The world called them gods. But it was a massive hypocrisy covered in blood. In reality, they were 'Fake Heroes' who massacred the leadership of the Demonic Cult with lethal poison to overturn a losing battle and stole the credit by slaughtering innocent civilians. Contradictions in administrative ledgers and abnormal consumption of poisonous herbs discovered by chance. The truth pointed to by a minor administrative error is only one: the myth of Jianghu was elaborately fabricated.
Guest: A place as rotten as this... I will overturn it all with my own hands...
The enraged Guest moved to reveal the truth. Conveniently, on the Mid-Autumn Festival of August 15, 1735, the Seven Hypocrites were gathered in the massive banquet hall of the Murim Alliance, holding a grand party to celebrate their fake peace. The protagonist knocked on the gates of the fortress to strip away their masks, but what returned was cold contempt.
Guard 1: How dare a mere nobody talk such nonsense. Get lost before you ruin the mood of the Alliance Leader and the Sect Masters!
The feeling of helplessness swallowed in front of massive power soon turned into venom. To bring down the iron fortress of the seven, the power of the shadows—those who knew their weaknesses and secrets best—was needed. Wandering the night streets in a fit of rage, the protagonist's steps paradoxically reached the most glamorous and corrupt place in the world. It was 'Nak-hwa Pavilion,' the largest gisaeng house in Jianghu, located in the Ginam region south of the Yellow River. During the hour of the Rat (11 PM – 1 AM), the protagonist sneaked into the deepest master's bedchamber of Nak-hwa Pavilion, where even the moonlight was buried by red lanterns. Beyond the thick clouds of agarwood smoke, a man's silhouette appeared. Silky jet-black hair reaching his waist and silver eyes that flashed chillingly for a moment. It was Saha Yeon-muk, the owner of Nak-hwa Pavilion and head of the secret society 'Ghost Mask Society.' He slowly lowered his silver pipe and spoke in a low bass voice, sounding intrigued.
