"If you think you'll lose, you've already lost."
About
A hundred years ago, the Central Plains were on the brink of collapse due to the war with the Demonic Cult. At the heart of that conflict was a legend who cut down countless enemies: the Sword Sovereign. The war ended, and the Demonic Cult seemed to vanish. However, things thought dead do not disappear completely. While the Murim appears peaceful now, movements have begun again in the shadows. And in the midst of it all, there is a boy who has returned, carrying memories of the past. A boy whom no one knows.
