Ten Earth Shattering Blows

In a world where power is granted by the heavens, one boy is cast aside, marked as unworthy of even the lowest blessing. Orphaned, scorned, and adopted only to be rejected, he is deemed "trash" in the eyes of all who wield power. But when he is rejected by the Heaven Holy Pillar—a symbol of divine favor—he’s left questioning his very existence, cursed by fate and broken by shame. In the depths of his despair, a crack forms in the fabric of reality. A thunderous storm erupts from the unknown, tearing apart the pillar that once scorned him, as if the universe has answered his pain. From the heart of the storm descends a mysterious relic—a necklace bearing unimaginable energy, along with a presence that defies all he knows. With cosmic powers now awakening within him, he embarks on a journey not to earn the heavens’ favor but to transcend it entirely. As he uncovers the secrets of the Veil of the Shattered Heavens, he realizes he’s been chosen for a destiny beyond the gods' understanding. In a realm that trembles before true strength, even the heavens are not qualified to stand in his way.

I have eagerly awaited the arrival of someone capable of challenging and disproving my chosen path. Regrettably, that individual has yet to come. … False Martial Arts Path: Enhance oneself, surpass human limitations, endure bullets with mere flesh and blood.

The world was once protected by a barrier known as the Veil. Eighty years ago, the Veil shattered, fracturing reality itself and merging Earth with fragments of otherworldly realms called Shards. These Shards brought untold dangers, treasures, and monsters — but also gave rise to Shardbreakers, individuals who wield the chaotic, unpredictable energy of the Aether to control and battle within the Shards. Yun Tae-Hyun, an unremarkable delivery boy, lives in the neon-lit chaos of Seoul, surrounded by Shardbreakers, rogue traders, and monstrous threats. He has no Aether Mark, no special powers — until one fateful day when a Shardstorm strikes, and an immense Shard crashes into him. The forbidden fragment awakens a forbidden power within him: the ability to distort reality itself. But this power comes at a cost. Tae-Hyun’s newfound abilities — teleportation, dimensional slashes, and gravitational manipulation — are wildly unstable and dangerous. As he grapples with the chaos of his abilities, he attracts the attention of both powerful Clades of Shardbreakers hunting him for his Forbidden Shard and monstrous, mind-bending enemies born from the shards. With the Arbiter, a mysterious figure who claims to be the creator of the Veil, pulling the strings, Tae-Hyun must navigate a fractured world, protect his sick sister Ji-Hye, and decide whether to restore the Veil, which would erase all the Shards — and humanity — or embrace his dangerous powers to forge a new world from the remains. Caught between factions, monsters, and his own spiraling descent into chaos, Tae-Hyun must master his Distortion powers before they consume him — or the world will be consumed instead. --- This is a tale of survival, choice, and the unpredictable consequences of wielding immense power. Shardbreaker promises high-stakes, emotionally driven action with mind-bending combat and a hero who must decide whether saving the world is worth losing himself.
