Synopsis
Chosen by the Evil Slayer, Gun becomes emperor while confronting past betrayal and restoring his dark kingdom.
In a kingdom where darkness has reigned for centuries, the legendary Evil Slayer—a mystical weapon that chooses the rightful ruler—has awakened for the first time in 400 years, selecting a young warrior named Gun as the destined Emperor of HaeWol. As the hidden son of the previous emperor, Gun must navigate the treacherous path to the throne while confronting the forces that have plunged the realm into chaos. Haunted by a painful betrayal from his past involving his beloved Choa and her family, Gun finds himself torn between duty and lingering feelings when fate brings them together again under unexpected circumstances. As he works to restore peace to the kingdom, Gun must confront not only external threats but also the mysteries surrounding those he once trusted most. This epic tale weaves together themes of destiny, love, betrayal, and redemption as Gun struggles to fulfill his role as emperor while confronting the shadows of his past that refuse to stay buried.
