When I Rise Up

Lilsage01
You don’t get a second life. Unless you’re ready to fight for it. Jonathan Virell is broken. Haunted by loss and drifting through life, he’s given a single chance to change everything, a mysterious invitation to The Grand Finale, a ruthless game where death is permanent, and only one player can rise. With less than a 5% chance of survival, no allies, and a starting role as a powerless Dust-Eater, Jonathan should be the first to die. But fate gives him one edge: Attribute Retention, a rare skill that lets him keep everything he learns and masters through the stages. To win, he must evolve. To evolve, he must survive. As the game pushes him past his limits and deeper into a world of violence, strategy, and betrayal, Jonathan discovers that winning means more than just staying alive; it means rising above the shadows of his past and becoming something unstoppable.

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
