Synopsis
Reborn in a World Where Only Strength Matters. He Had None. Lee Do-Hyun, a burned-out office worker, wakes up in Kangho—a brutal world where the weak are crushed and forgotten. He's at the bottom of the food chain, with no powers, no allies, and no future. Until he finds the Ego Sword—a cursed blade that speaks to his soul. “I will test your will.” Taken in by mysterious women from a brothel with a hidden past, Do-Hyun learns how to survive using wit, agility, and sheer will. In a world obsessed with brute force, he turns weakness into a weapon. Now, he's rising. Enemies multiply. Sects tremble. And the Martial World resists change. But Do-Hyun doesn’t care. “I’ll shatter their rules. I’ll show them what true strength means.” Will he master the blade—or be consumed by it? A dark isekai martial arts epic of rebellion, survival, and a sword that challenges fate. #IsekaiCultivation #WeakToStrong #RebelliousMC #SwordmasterSaga #AntiheroUnderdog #MartialArtsRevolution

Chapter 1 - Prologue: The End of Reality, A New Beginning

"Another realm crafted by F3YNM4N's pen.If you enjoyed this, step into a new story—same pen, different world."

A library in Seoul.

 

Amidst the silent space filled with books, Lee Do-Hyun picked up a book. A man in his forties, a typical office worker, he had barely managed to squeeze out some time from his repetitive daily life to visit this place.

 

The book he chose contained stories spanning martial arts, fantasy, and romance—genres he usually read secretly on his smartphone to avoid others' eyes. But here, he didn't have to worry about anyone's gaze.

 

As he opened the book, he muttered to himself.

"If I had been born in a world like this… at least life would've been more exciting than it is now."

 

His eyes landed on a phrase written inside the book.

 

"If you wish to enter a new world, cast away fear and embrace it."

 

At that moment, a bright light burst from the bookshelf. A whirlwind of energy engulfed his body, and in the next instant—everything stopped.
