Fists that wound. Skills that slay. His strength is their reckoning. Once the pride of the Jin Clan, Jin Tae-Won was destined to excel in the upcoming Martial Test, a trial that would secure his place within his family. But when his talent failed to meet the clan’s rigid standards, Tae-Won was humiliated, cast out, and cursed to a life of servitude under the Heavenly Demonic Cult. Betrayed by allies and plagued by a blood curse that crippled his cultivation, he met a lonely death, haunted by his unfulfilled potential. In his final moments, a mysterious system granted him a second chance, cleansing his impurities and purging the curse. Tae-Won awakens, finding himself a month before the Martial Test, now armed with the system’s quests and abilities he’d once dreamed of. Freed from the chains of his past, Tae-Won sees this as an opportunity not only to reclaim his honor but to reshape his destiny. Determined to rise above his enemies and driven by the knowledge of his former life, he begins training for the Martial Test—not just to pass, but to dominate. As he delves deeper, he uncovers secrets hinting that his failure was a deliberate scheme by those who feared his potential. This time, he’s prepared to expose the truth and destroy anyone who stands in his way. Jin Tae-Won will carve his own path, wielding strength and skills that make him a living nightmare—a force that answers to no one and bows to none.
