Shadow Upon Heavenly Cloud
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.”

But the deeper he digs, the more the truth blurs.
The past is not what it seemed.
And in the clouds above, shadows move still.
Is revenge still justice, if the truth changes everything?
