Plot Overview

Ryugeom Cheok was Goryeo’s greatest swordsman—a loyal warrior whose skill with the blade was unmatched throughout the kingdom. When his master’s life hung in the balance, Ryugeom made the ultimate sacrifice: he threw himself off a cliff, locked in deadly combat with his enemy, ensuring both would perish rather than let his master fall.

But death did not claim him. Instead, Ryugeom plunged into freezing waters and was encased in ice, his body preserved in a state of suspended animation for nine hundred years. When he finally awakens in the modern era, the world he once knew has vanished completely. Goryeo is gone, replaced by a society of technology, machines, and rules he doesn’t understand. Swords have been replaced by guns. Honor codes mean nothing. His entire way of life is now ancient history.

Yet one thing remains unchanged—his burning desire for vengeance. The enemies who threatened his master may be long dead, but their descendants and the forces that betrayed his kingdom still exist in this new world. Armed with legendary martial arts techniques from a forgotten age and the resolve of Goryeo’s finest warrior, Ryugeom begins his journey of vengeance in an era where he is both a relic of the past and potentially its most dangerous warrior.
