Duel Cult

Having reached the pinnacle of the Murim world, Jagak Hou, leader of the Murim alliance, lead a charge towards the Heavenly Mountains, home of the Demonic Cult. Following weeks upon weeks of restless war, he came face to face with the Heavenly Demon herself. After a battle that split the heavens and shattered hell, Jagak was heavily injured and the Heavenly Demon had come out on top. Seeing that he could not overcome the Heavenly Demon, he decided to give his life in exchange for hers in Mutually Assured Destruction. Once he came to, he became an infant in a different world. This world was populated with systems - complex algorithms powered by Magic Power (or MP for short) assigned at birth that allowed humans to use Magic - a way of altering the laws of physics using MP. Jagak was, of course, fascinated by this mystic power and wished to study it, however there was a massive problem with that, being that he was the only human in this world without an assigned system, meaning he couldn't use Magic. How will this former master survive as the only systemless swordsman in this world of Systems...?

After a millennia of strife between the Demonic Cult led by the Heavenly Demon and the Righteous Faction led by the Heavenly Murim Alliance, something once thought impossible occurred. The newly appointed leader of the Demonic Cult, the Heavenly Demon, asked for peace. Now twenty years later, a generation of children on the Central Plains grew up only ever hearing of the bloody battles between the Demonic Cult and the Righteous Faction in scary bedtime stories told by their parents. Perhaps it was a miracle, but the initial worry of the older generation evaporated when their hatred for each other was not inherited by the newer generation. However, despite the signs that show a successful transition into an Era of Peace on the surface, underneath tells of a different story. For the Royal Family, who fear the rising power of the Demonic Cult and the Righteous Faction, this Era of Peace was the start of their downfall. And for the secret powers hidden within both the Demonic Cult and the Righteous Faction, who fundamentally could not agree with this peaceful resolution after all the lives that were lost... How could they allow this to go on? A storm was brewing underneath the surface of this calm façade of peace, where deadly schemes and intense strife between the Central Plain’s powerful behemoth-like entities raged on. But, in the midst of all this was the pair Han Xiao Mo and Son Bai Luo. Who, due to various circumstances, ended up becoming the center of this storm after a marriage announcement was made by Xiao Mo's father, the Heavenly Murim Alliance Leader, between a reluctant Xiao Mo, and the daughter of the Heavenly Demon, Son Mai Ying, who secretly ran-away. ** #WSA 2025 Entry
