Kim Hyun Joong

In a world on the brink of collapse, where the mystical essence of magic is fading and ancient technology crumbles into oblivion, the land of Aerth is torn apart by an unending war. Aetherium, the lifeblood of magic and innovation, has nearly been depleted, leaving the Eastern and Western factions locked in a desperate struggle for survival. The West is ruled by The Despot, a ruthless and shadowy tyrant whose reign thrives on fear, greed, and suffering. With his cunning right-hand man, Euro, The Despot has shattered the fragile peace between the factions, plunging the East into chaos through manipulation and betrayal. Distrust festers among its leaders, and once-proud alliances crumble under the weight of internal conflict. Amid this devastation, whispers of a mysterious figure begin to spread—a man whose origins are tied to a fabled land long thought to exist only in legend. His presence defies explanation, his movements swift and unpredictable. Cloaked in secrecy, he works from the shadows to dismantle The Despot’s carefully laid plans, striking at the heart of his empire with uncanny precision. Even Euro’s unparalleled intelligence network fails to uncover his identity. Who is this enigmatic figure? Is he truly from the legendary land of myths, or is he simply a master of disguise, a man forged by the ruins of this shattered world? As the East's last hope, Princess Cino Shikai, fights to hold her people together, this man’s true purpose becomes a question of salvation or destruction. His actions could tip the scales of the war, but whether toward redemption or ruin remains uncertain. "The Disguise of a Man from the Mystical Legendary Land in a Ruined World" weaves a tale of intrigue, rebellion, and the search for hope in a world where legends collide with reality, and every choice carries the weight of a civilization’s survival.

kumpulan-kumpulan cerita yang tidak bissa diceritakan lelaki, hal-hal menyedihkan, menyenangkan, konyol, bahkan bajingan yang di rahasiakan atau dipendam lelaki. Terinpirasi dari kisah nyata.

Di dunia yang berada di ambang kehancuran, di mana esensi magis mulai memudar dan teknologi kuno perlahan lenyap, Aerth terpecah oleh perang yang tak berkesudahan. Aetherium, sumber kehidupan bagi sihir dan inovasi, hampir habis, meninggalkan faksi Timur dan Barat dalam perjuangan putus asa untuk bertahan hidup. Barat dikuasai oleh The Despot, seorang tiran kejam dan penuh teka-teki yang membangun kekuasaannya di atas ketakutan, keserakahan, dan penderitaan. Dengan bantuan tangan kanannya yang licik, Euro, The Despot menghancurkan perdamaian rapuh antara kedua faksi, menciptakan kekacauan di Timur melalui manipulasi dan pengkhianatan. Ketidakpercayaan menjalar di antara para pemimpin Timur, dan aliansi yang dulu kokoh kini hancur oleh konflik internal. Di tengah kehancuran ini, desas-desus tentang sosok misterius mulai tersebar—seorang pria yang asal-usulnya terhubung dengan tanah legendaris yang selama ini dianggap hanya mitos. Kehadirannya sulit dijelaskan, pergerakannya cepat dan tak terduga. Bersembunyi di balik bayang-bayang, ia bekerja diam-diam untuk menggagalkan rencana The Despot dengan presisi yang luar biasa. Bahkan jaringan intelijen Euro yang terkenal tak tertandingi gagal mengungkap identitasnya. Siapakah sosok misterius ini? Apakah ia benar-benar berasal dari tanah legendaris yang hanya dikenal dalam cerita rakyat, ataukah ia seorang ahli penyamaran, pria yang ditempa oleh kehancuran dunia ini? Sebagai harapan terakhir Timur, Putri Cino Shikai, berjuang keras untuk mempertahankan rakyatnya, tujuan sejati pria ini menjadi pertanyaan besar—penyelamat atau kehancuran? Tindakannya dapat menentukan arah perang, tetapi apakah itu menuju keselamatan atau kehancuran masih menjadi misteri. "Penyamaran Seorang Pria dari Tanah Legendaris Mistis di Dunia yang Hancur" menghadirkan kisah penuh intrik, pemberontakan, dan pencarian harapan di dunia di mana legenda bertemu kenyataan, dan setiap pilihan membawa beban kelangsungan hidup peradaban.
