Swordmaster

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld

With both of his parents dead, Daku grew up firmly determined to become a world-known adventurer. Now that he had reached the required age to get awakened, Daku had never been more excited. He wanted to be a Swordmaster, Marksman, or Mage, but luck seemed not on his side. Although it was the rarest among all the classes, it was the weakest.

He does not dream of glory. He dreams of not dying. In the remote mountain village of Mjull, life is quiet. Detached. Forgotten by war, untouched by kings, and far from the rot of power. But for sixteen-year-old Icariel, peace is a lie with a heartbeat. Every breath is a calculation. Every step, a gamble. Because unlike the others, he does not crave adventure. He craves survival. And death—it haunts him like a second soul. But Iliriania is not a world that spares the careful. Beyond the mountains, mages mold reality with raw mana, swordmasters ignite legends in blood and steel, and superhumans awaken to abilities that defy sanity. Monsters crawl through shattered gates. Empires rot from within. And beneath it all, ancient forces stir. Icariel has none of it. No power. No title. No fate. Only a voice—low as thunder in a grave, ancient as hunger—that whispers in his skull. A guide, a parasite, a presence. The only thing that has ever spoken to him in truth. When death finally finds Mjull, tearing apart the illusion of safety, Icariel must choose: vanish with the ashes, or walk into a world where only the cruel and the strong survive. A world where kindness dies first. A world that devours the weak like carrion. To live, he will have to become more than afraid. Because in a world where gods fall and graves forget, survival is the cruelest form of courage.

Victor Drake was a 23-year-old kendo prodigy with a dream: to become the greatest swordsman of the modern era. Kind, goofy, romantic, and sharp-witted, he lived and breathed the way of the blade. But everything changed during a fierce tournament when a tragic accident left him completely blind. His world went dark, but his spirit never dimmed. Relying on instinct, sound, and intuition, Victor adapted. He trained harder, sharper, deeper. Yet fate had more in store. One ordinary day, while walking the city streets, a glowing summoning circle appeared beneath his feet—and before he could react, he was gone. Transported to a grand cathedral in another world, Victor found himself surrounded by high school students and nobles. A beautiful queen stood before them, summoning heroes to battle a rising Demon Lord. But there had been a mistake—Victor wasn’t supposed to be there. He wasn’t a chosen hero. And yet, when a mysterious ding echoed in his mind, a screen appeared before his blinded eyes: Class: Blind Swordsman With no way back and no destiny to follow, Victor carves his own path. His new power lets him “see” the world through sound and motion, sharpening his already deadly swordsmanship to supernatural levels. Determined to chase his dream even in this new world, Victor sets off—not as a hero, but as the Blind Swordsman. His journey begins: exploring dungeons, joining adventurer guilds, fighting monsters, saving villages, befriending gods and demons alike, and facing off against the greatest swordmasters the world has to offer. Along the way, he gathers a diverse—and chaotic—harem of swordswomen, slaves, nobles, and goddesses who fall for his strength, charm, and sheer will. Victor is no saint. He’s a romantic antihero, a sneaky battle junkie with a heart, a sharp tongue, and a blade sharper still. He gets caught in political intrigue, divine conspiracies, and misunderstandings that somehow lead to royal marriages. But no matter what happens, he lives—and fights—by his own code. He wasn’t meant to be a hero. He just wants to become a legend. They may call him blind, but history will remember the name: Victor Drake — the Greatest Swordsman the World Has Ever Known.

He was born as bastard to a noble family… and treated like a stray dog. Powerless and talentless. Exiled by his family due to his incompetence he goes through an incident so traumatizing he will never forget. Now, with the grotesque heart that pulses with something far more dangerous than blood, he walks the halls of a swordmaster’s academy. Not for glory. Not for revenge. But to survive. Haunted by whispers, drawn to violence, and rejected by the very world he tried to belong to, he begins his quiet struggle for redemption. Because somewhere in that cursed heartbeat... He still wants to be seen. He still wants to be loved. And maybe... that’s what will make him the most dangerous of all.

Kael never asked to be a hero—but destiny made him one. Then fate betrayed him. In his first life, Kael rose from stable boy to swordmaster, earning the trust of kings and the love of a nation. But when betrayal struck from those closest to him, he died a martyr to a cause he never truly believed in. Then, he woke up. Reborn at fifteen with memories of a life that hadn't happened yet, Kael isn’t interested in justice or heroism this time around. He’s done playing by fate’s rules. Armed with forbidden time magic, a sharp sword, and a sharper tongue, Kael plans to rewrite history—starting with his own. But to change the future, he must manipulate the past, infiltrate courts, recruit dangerous allies, and outwit the gods themselves. As timelines fracture, enemies multiply, and reality begins to unravel, Kael must walk the line between cunning and madness. Because in this life, he’s not here to save the world. He’s here to conquer it. A dark, chaotic, and hilarious high fantasy full of betrayal, time travel, and twisted heroism—Chrono Blades: The Hero Who Laughed at Fate is perfect for fans of clever anti-heroes, magical scheming, and fate-defying adventures. ---

[Warning: Sexual content, lemons, comedy, MILFs, monster girls, face-slapping, and a shameless protagonist!] ..... Creed Walden was a man of culture. Refined. Sophisticated. A true enjoyer of the finer things in life. Which was exactly why he ended up getting shot in the nuts. Who knew that messing with a gangster’s woman would lead to such unfortunate circumstances? One moment, he was enjoying the peak of pleasure, the next—BANG! Eternal darkness. But instead of fading into nothingness, he woke up… in a completely different world. A world he knew. It was the setting of a novel he had read ten years ago—a brutal, unforgiving wasteland where monstrous creatures roamed, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction. The Apocalypse had begun. Here, humans awakened incredible talents to survive. Some became swordmasters, capable of cutting mountains in half. Others became mages, wielding fire and lightning at their fingertips. The strong ruled, the weak perished, and only those with true power could thrive. And Creed? He awakened… a summoning ability. Not bad, right? He could call forth mighty beasts, legendary heroes, or divine warriors to fight for him! At least, that’s what he thought. Until his first summon appeared. A gorgeous, sultry woman with horns, bat-like wings, and a very inappropriate outfit. A Succubus. It didn’t take long for Creed to realize the shocking truth—his summoning ability could only summon Succubi! The apocalypse was raging. Civilization was collapsing. People were awakening godlike powers to fight for survival. And here he was. Surrounded by beautiful, seductive demons who thrived on… other kinds of energy. Creed leaned back with a grin, his eyes gleaming with a mix of amusement and wicked excitement. “...Well, I suppose there are worse fates.”

She was the most powerful and infamous swordmaster in history — until she died reading a romance novel. Now in the body of the villainess fated to die, Kaelith has only one goal: survive in a new world on the brink of war.

They say the sky burns brighter above Emberholt. Some believe it’s the reflection of a kingdom's burning pride. Others say it's a warning — a flame waiting to consume everything. But the truth is sharper than legend: It’s watching. In the world of Arkanis, power is not gifted. It is taken. And the ones who take it? They train at The Grey Flame Academy — a crucible for the ambitious, the dangerous, and the cursed. Here, students from across the five kingdoms gather to master the blade and the Sigil, two paths that determine their strength, their future, and their survival. Commoners, nobles, and royals alike are thrown into the same fire. Ten pairs of instructors — one swordmaster, one Sigil guide — forge the next generation of warriors. But few rise. Fewer endure. And among them, ten have climbed to the top, untouchable and feared. They are known only as Void. Void doesn’t speak for itself. It doesn’t need to. Its name echoes through the halls like a curse. These are not students. They are future kings and queens of war. Legends in training. Silent blades. If you face one, you don’t graduate. You disappear. Sky stands above even them. The top of the Void. The academy's number one. A student with no title, no noble house, and no reason to trust anyone. He didn’t chase power. Power chased him. And now, every step he takes ripples across the kingdom. Beneath the academy lies the Sigil Celestial Crystal, a relic older than the kingdom itself. It does not grant power. It exposes it. Those who attempt to bond with it either ascend beyond recognition... or vanish without a trace. The crystal doesn’t choose champions. It dares them. As Emberholt's royal bloodlines fracture, war brews beneath ceremony and silence. The throne is empty, and five ancient families sharpen their knives under the veil of honor. The academy becomes more than a school — it becomes a battlefield. Every duel is political. Every rise in rank a threat. And Sky? He’s the biggest threat of all. Inside the academy, ranks define reality. Magic is measured across fifteen escalating Sigil tiers. Swordsmanship spans twenty brutal levels. Every student fights to rise. Some for honor. Some for vengeance. Some for nothing but survival. But the truth is, power comes at a cost. Friends become rivals. Rivals become corpses. And alliances are broken faster than bones. Behind every lesson is manipulation. Behind every challenge is a test of loyalty. And those who reach the top must face more than enemies. They must face what the academy has become: a machine for war, designed to create weapons in human skin. As Sky rises, shadows close in. Whispers of rebellion. Secrets buried beneath banners. And a throne that demands blood. He doesn’t want it. But destiny doesn’t ask. The Grey Flame doesn’t burn for justice. It burns for conquest. And the Void stands ready. Welcome to Arkanis. Welcome to the fire.

"Only the fearless heart, can soar to the heavens." In Cadia Riverlands, a young boy emerges from the ashes of a razed village, clutching the shattered remains of a spear. Orphaned, nameless, and driven only by instinct, he survives a brutal trek to the legendary Tianyin Swordmaster Sect—a secluded martial order that venerates the sword and rejects all else. Taken in as an exception, the boy is renamed Zhao Long, a name invoking the silent watch of the dragon. Five years pass, and Zhao Long remains an outsider, training alone with the weapon his soul seems unwilling to let go—the spear. To the Sect, it is a relic of foot soldiers, a crude tool far beneath the elegance of the blade. But Zhao Long persists. In secret, in silence, he carves his own path—movement by movement, form by form—guided not by teaching but by an echo deep within his body, one even he does not understand. Scorned by peers, overlooked by masters, he remains steadfast. One night, as moonlight bathes the mountain, a cloud in the shape of a dragon passes overhead. It sees him. It remembers. And so begins the story of a boy who defied tradition… …a warrior who would awaken the forgotten power of the spear. …a dragon yet to rise.

With only a cryptic system, vague quests, and his mentor’s brutal lessons to guide him, he must carve his path one strike at a time.

Born into a powerful family of legendary swordsmen, Caelen Velthran was always meant to inherit steel—but never magic.

And as rival siblings rise and the realm teeters toward war, he must prove not only that he belongs… but that he may be the only one who can save them all.

My assistant would never shut up about [The Fallen Swordmaster] He’s six years older than me, yet he clings to that story like a lifeline, praising every chapter as if it were holy scripture. I, on the other hand, had no patience for novels. After all, I’d already cracked the world’s toughest mysteries before I even turned twenty—fiction paled in comparison. But if my assistant was so obsessed, maybe this story would interesting. I dove in, skeptical but curious. It didn’t take long for my skepticism to harden into disappointment. Bland storylines. Characters that felt like cardboard cutouts. And when they finally did show some promise? It was completely ruined. I gave it two chapters—no more. That was all the time I was willing to waste. Then, as I was about to close the tab and move on, an email pinged into my inbox. 'Another case?' I thought, a flicker of excitement lighting up my mind. "Cases that will excite me like no other? A mystery that I can't solve? Well, if you put it that way… of course I have to accept."

He trusted him like a brother. He slaughtered his entire clan. Ryang Li was the noble heir of the prestigious Ryang Clan—naive, kind, and determined to master both blade and scroll. His idol and protector, Jin Seol, was his swordmaster, his shield… and his closest friend. But everything shattered the night Jin Seol betrayed him, murdering the Ryang Clan in cold blood. “I don’t kill weaklings,” Jin Seol said, leaving Ryang Li alive. “Come find me when you're strong enough to understand why.” Twelve years later, Ryang Li returns—not as a broken boy, but as a General of the Imperial Army.

And in the clouds above, shadows move still. Is revenge still justice, if the truth changes everything?

The grand doors of Edelweiss Swordschool creaked open, revealing a vast courtyard surrounded by towering spires and the impressive silhouette of the castle. Lein stood at the entrance, his eyes wide with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. He adjusted the cloak around him, feeling the warmth of the earring given to him by his father's old swordmaster. As he stepped forward, a hand clapped down on his shoulder, causing him to turn. A fellow student, a girl of his age with fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned at him. "Hey there, new kid! You must be Lein, right?" she said with a playful tone. Lein gave a nod, managing a small smile. "Yes, that's me. Lein von Hrunting." "I'm Elara. Welcome to Edelweiss!" She gestured to the sprawling campus. "Come on, I'll show you around and help you get settled." As they strolled through the courtyard, Elara pointed out the training grounds, the library, and the various towers where students attended classes. Lein couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the school. "So, why did you come here?" Elara asked, glancing at him. Lein hesitated for a moment before replying, "My father believes I might have a talent for being a Spellblade, like him. He arranged for me to study here." "Ah, a Spellblade! That's impressive. You'll be training with the best of the best," she said with a grin. "That being said, you'll be expected to beat them if that is truly your goal." They reached the entrance of the castle, and Elara opened the door for Lein. The interior was just as imposing as the exterior, with polished marble floors and towering pillars. As they walked through the corridors, Lein couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes were on him. Elara led him to a room with a wooden door bearing the emblem of Edelweiss. "This is your room," she announced, pushing the door open. Inside, Lein found a neatly arranged space with a comfortable bed, a small desk, and a window that offered a view of the surrounding mountains. His luggage was already placed by the bed. "Your stuff arrived earlier. We've got a few hours before the welcoming ceremony, so take your time settling in. If you need anything, I'll be around." Elara said, giving him a friendly wave before heading out. Alone in his new room, Lein took a deep breath. This was the beginning of a new chapter in his life. As he unpacked his belongings, he couldn't help but wonder what challenges and adventures awaited him at Edelweiss Swordschool. Little did he know, the journey ahead would test not only his skills but also the mysterious power that lay dormant within him. The cloak of anonymity provided by the earring would prove to be both a blessing and a curse in the days to come.

In a shattered world where skybound kingdoms drift above a vast ocean and eldritch "Gates" rip through reality, unleashing nightmare creatures known as Wraithborn, seventeen-year-old Kael Ryuu is the lowest of the low—a crestless orphan with no future in a society where worth is measured by strength and swordsmanship. Born without a Crest, the soul-bound mark that allows warriors to manifest legendary abilities and spirit-forged weapons, Kael is forbidden from training at the Sword Monastery of Yurei and forced to live as a servant, sharpening blades he’ll never wield. Until the day he dies. Struck down during a Wraithborn incursion, Kael awakens in The Abyss Library, an interdimensional realm that holds the records of fallen heroes.
