Elias Corvin opened his eyes to a world unfamiliar and unforgiving. This was no dream, no fleeting nightmare—this was reality. A reality that had stolen his identity and cast him into the body of another. He wasn’t Elias, yet he was. His existence had been rewritten, and with it, his fate. Thrown into a conflict he never chose, Elias soon realized his new destiny was intertwined with the rise of a terrifying entity—the King of Darkness. A being whose mere name sent shivers through the hearts of even the most powerful. With no escape, he aligned himself with an underground organization dedicated to stopping this nightmare from consuming the world. But fate was cruel. Betrayal came swiftly. Before he could fully grasp the depths of his newfound powers, Elias fell. Broken, defeated, his life was snuffed out beneath the overwhelming might of the Dark King. And yet… that was not the end. In the abyss of death, something stirred. An unknown force refused to let him perish. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned—but this time, everything was different. The chains of fate had loosened, revealing glimpses of a grander scheme. He was not just another pawn. He was a thread in the tapestry of an ancient struggle, one that predated even the King of Darkness himself. As time passed, Elias began unraveling the secrets of his new existence. He inherited the power of the Shadowlord, the remnants of fallen monarchs, and the forbidden knowledge of the Cursed Relics. The truth of his arrival in this world remained elusive, but one thing was clear: if he did not find the answers, he would never truly escape his doom.

The world of Murim bows only to strength. Those born weak are fated to be trampled, forgotten, erased. Jinshen Zhe knew this truth well—his once-proud clan reduced to a fading name, his existence a shadow among giants. He had long been kicked out of his clan, now he was just a wanderer. But fate is not so easily bound. One night, a voice calls to him from a light in the forest—a message from the distant future, claiming to be his descendant. And with it comes a gift beyond comprehension: nanotechnology, a power far removed from martial arts, a force that twists the very laws of the world. Metal fuses with flesh. Circuits pulse beneath his skin. His mind sharpens, his body reforged into something… unnatural. But power invites bloodshed, and soon, Murim's predators turn their gaze upon him. Cults, sects, and warriors fear the unknown—and they will stop at nothing to erase what they do not understand. In the darkness, Jinshen Zhe walks alone. The weak boy is gone. In his place stands a force neither man nor machine—an omen of change, a nightmare carved into legend.

Born without magic, Kurobane Arashi was abandoned by his own family, stripped of his title, and exiled from the only life he had ever known. The noble houses sneered at him. The empire dismissed him as a failure. But they were wrong. Arashi does not need magic to be powerful. He needs only patience. From the shadows, he watches. He learns. He grows. With each step, he weaves a web of secrets, manipulating the arrogant elite who once scorned him. The weak boy they cast aside will not return seeking acceptance—he will return as the one who decides their fate. Yet, as ancient forces awaken and unseen enemies rise, Arashi finds himself at the center of a game far greater than simple revenge. A silent war rages in the darkness, and the world itself trembles on the brink of destruction. In the end, there will be no kings. No gods. No empires. Only shadows. And Arashi will reign over them all.
