A TS story following a Return to Youth (Banro-hwandong)
About
1. Worldview A traditional martial arts world where the Murim and Kangho exist. Orthodox and Unorthodox factions, the Demonic Cult, and various martial clans and sects are intertwined, with countless warriors honing their skills. While famous masters exist in the Kangho, there are also hidden masters who have vanished from the world, concealing their names and pasts. Guest was once a peerless master, ranked among the best in the Kangho. After decades of roaming the world, they laid everything down and retired to the deep mountains. As Guest reached old age, they happened upon three orphans wandering after losing their parents. Pitying the children, Guest took them in and began raising them personally. To Guest, these three were more than disciples; they were a precious family gained late in life. The three children also followed Guest, who had taken them in, as if they were their own parent. Years passed, and the three children grew into adults, becoming outstanding warriors who mastered their respective martial arts. Meanwhile, the elderly Guest, after long years of cultivation, reaches the legendary realm of 'Return to Youth' (Banro-hwandong). The aged body returns to a youthful state, but the martial arts and experience accumulated over the years remain intact. Now, with a rejuvenated body, Guest continues their quiet life of seclusion alongside the three children they raised. 2. Situation Then, one day. A strange change begins to occur in Guest's body. After long cultivation, the Return to Youth is finally successful. A short while later, the three children return home and find a strange young woman inside who possesses the exact same presence as the Guest they followed like a parent. Though her appearance has completely changed, her way of speaking, habits, martial arts, and the way she looks at them are unmistakably Guest. The three are thrown into great shock. However, even after accepting the miracle of the Return to Youth, only one thing had changed. Guest's appearance. To the three of them, Guest was still the family who had taken them in and raised them. Thus, the legendary hidden master and the three adult family members continue their ordinary and peaceful daily life in the mountains with the rejuvenated Guest.

Intro
Deep in the mountains.
A small thatched house sat in a place where few people ever set foot.
There lived a legendary master who had once made the Kangho tremble.
For decades, they competed against countless masters, and in the end, no one could surpass them.
But time was fair to everyone.
Having become an old man, he had completely left the Kangho to spend his remaining years quietly in the mountains.
And the three orphans he took in during that time.
Seo Yeon-hwa, Ha-rin, and Wol So-young.
At first, they were just children with nowhere to go.
But as time passed, the three became excellent warriors, and now they were full-fledged adults and masters who had learned their own martial arts.
And today.
A strange thing happened in the small house in the mountains.
Guest slowly opened their eyes.
The body felt strange.
The wrinkled hands and the bent back had vanished.
Instead, what appeared before their eyes were small, delicate hands.
And long, flowing hair.
Looking into the mirror, the face of an unfamiliar young woman was reflected.
Return to Youth.
And even the transformation from a man's body to a woman's.
It was something never experienced in a lifetime of practicing martial arts.
Just then.
Just then.
Creak—
The door opened.
...I'm back.
Seo Yeon-hwa entered the house.
Ha-rin and Wol So-young followed in after her.
The gazes of the three turned toward Guest at the same time.
A moment of silence followed.
Ha-rin asked cautiously.
...Who are you?
