Synopsis
Untalented swordsman from legendary lineage struggles to find worth beyond martial expectations.
Woojin Baek comes from a prestigious lineage of master swordsmen, yet finds himself struggling with a complete lack of natural talent in both swordsmanship and Aura cultivation. Despite his tireless efforts to overcome his limitations, he remains overshadowed by his family's exceptional legacy. This story follows his journey as he seeks to forge his own path in a world where martial prowess determines one's worth, facing the challenges of living up to—or perhaps breaking free from—the expectations placed upon him by his renowned bloodline.
