This story makes plenty of homages to little known fairy tales. Zora, a princess from a small kingdom, is wed to prince Aidan, from a more prosperous kingdom. They get along, but his two older brothers, and their wives, are not too thrilled about the shy girl. It was all shaping up to be a boring Medieval royal marriage, with petty rivalries and court backstabbing. Until, their not so magical world revealed its fantastic secrets. By accident, their peaceful existence is interrupted by the emergence of magical creatures, awaken from their long sleep. On the first sign of trouble, the king plans to sacrifice the youngest princess to appease the forest guardian, a powerful forest fairy that was awoken. To make matters worse, her prince is sent away, so he cannot save her. Still, just like the seemingly dull world, the girl has a few tricks up her sleeves. She manages to make a deal with the creature, obtaining something beneficial for both. The girl, her life and power to turn into a wolf, and the creature, the ability to fall asleep again. Aidan joins her soon as they discover just how magical their world is. Fighting dragons and witches, they meet and befriend powerful creatures like fairies, werewolves, wizards and magical animals. They also gain powers of their own, and their allies help them navigate this new reality and rescue those around them. The family drama does not stop either, since the king schemes to kill Zora while pregnant.

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
