The peace of the Murim was shattered by the Heavenly Demon Cult. The Great Sects—Mount Hua, Wudang, Jongnam, the Beggars' Union, and others—rose to meet the threat, but they were nearly annihilated. This is a story of the victims of the Great War of the Heavenly Demon, and a tale of a master and their disciples. In that war, some lost their masters, some lost their senior brothers, and some lost their dearest friends. Yet time, in its cruelty, did not wait for them; twenty years have passed since the war ended. The children of that era have grown into martial artists or merchants. Some may still be frozen in that moment when their loved ones died. Whatever the case, they continue to live on today.

Danhwi continues his work as if he's used to this.
"If you're that bored, go ask Hyang to play with you."
