This Novel is participating in 2025 WebNovel Spirity Awards ^^ Due to unfortunate circumstances, "Ari" Ariel Matisse lived in the slums of Los Angeles, also known as Skid Row. One night, on his way home, he was killed while witnessing an old man getting beaten.

If he refused to complete his given tasks, he would die. But if he succeeded, he would have the money and power to change his life as well as get revenge against the person who killed him.

I hope you all fall in love with the area as much as I love it.

Defy the gods, defy the laws that govern the universe, defy space and time, defy fate, defy death, defy ‘I’, defy defying itself. Selfish, cautious, envious, and ruthless main character.

Kaito Ishida wants one thing: a quiet high school life. But when this unassuming transfer student instinctively saves a martial arts club beauty from bullies with inexplicable, devastating skill, his dreams of anonymity are shattered. Unaware he possesses a "once in a generation" talent that makes him arguably the strongest in the world, Kaito is reluctantly dragged into the high-octane world of competitive martial arts. Dubbed "Ghost Hand" for his seemingly impossible, effortless techniques, Kaito baffles his new teammates and terrifies opponents. Every attempt to "learn" martial arts only reveals deeper, more shocking layers of his innate mastery. Now, with his school's underdog club pinning their hopes on him, Kaito must navigate high school drama, blossoming romances, and brutal tournaments. He doesn't seek power or glory, but as his "Shadow Play" — a breathtaking, almost supernatural fighting style — is unveiled, he finds himself on an unavoidable collision course with destiny.

“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
