Ex-hero reborn as swordmaster's son must choose between pacifism and protecting loved ones.
Jinwoo Baek, savior of humanity, is done with being a hero. In his last moments, this battle-scarred warrior vows never to pick up a sword again. But by some cruel twist of fate, he finds himself reborn as Riley Finn Epheletta, the youngest son of an esteemed family of swordmasters! When trouble comes knocking, Riley is forced to make a decision—take up the sword, or let his loved ones die. Will the "Lazy Sword" finally bloom into the legendary swordmaster he was always destined to become? (Source: Tapas Media)
