Unknown Pause

ImprovePerfectly
Icariel has only ever known the quiet life of Mjull, a remote mountain village untouched by the chaos of the world beyond. But unlike the other villagers, he does not dream of adventure or power—he dreams of survival. Death terrifies him. Every day, every step, every decision is weighed against the fear of dying. Yet, unknown to him, Iliriania is a world ruled by power. Mages born with vast reserves of mana shape reality itself, swordmasters carve legends with their blades, and superhumans awaken abilities that defy logic. Beyond the mountains, kingdoms wage war, monsters prowl the land, and ancient gates open to horrors unseen. And Icariel? He is just a boy with no powers. No grand destiny. No divine blessing. Only a voice—deep, ancient, and ever-present. A voice only he can hear, offering cryptic advice and whispers of survival. But when the fragile peace of his village shatters, Icariel is forced to make a choice: stay hidden in his fear, or step beyond the mountains into a world where only the strong survive. In a land where death is inevitable, can a boy obsessed with survival truly live?

The Black Cloud Sword: The Rise of Do-Hyun

“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
