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...?

Since he was a child, when Raka slept, he dreamed that he would become a great figure, whether in the military, in the civilian sector, or even in the medical field. Raka's dreams were so real as if he experienced them himself. Even more commendable, the limited information in his dreams had truth in them. Everything went according to Raka's wishes at first, but on the day of his awakening, instead of awakening the holy sword that he should have, he awakened a virtual resonance in the form of a bed. With this, Raka was devastated. He never thought he would become the greatest swordsman in the universe, but only in his dreams. Raka, who was confused, felt that the people around him were mocking him, his friends pitied him, and his family doubted him.

Several memories belonging to other people immediately merged with Raka's soul, which was constantly being injured by the other five souls.

But after that, Raka became confused about who he was, whether he was Raka or one of the five invading souls of the sword spirit, or what. Now the naive Raka is forced to grow up and experience a severe identity crisis, will he still pursue his dream of being the greatest swordsman in the world or something else?
