by SO NYUN HANG
A protagonist conscripted into a fierce war passes through the battlefield, hones the sword, and ultimately grows into a great swordmaster who reaches the fulfillment of the Way. This is a slow-burn war and progression story focused on experience, discipline, and the path of the sword. This English version is an experimental release for overseas readers. As he spoke, he brushed the mixture over the carved letters. Park Seongjin 朴成鎭Age Fifteen 十五歲Millyang 密陽Haeju 海州Sungui Unit 崇義軍 As the brush passed over the wood, the characters darkened and came alive. "Ironclad cavalry—advance!" At the command, the earth roared again. Horses sheathed in iron exhaled low, heavy breaths. A rank stench seeped from the seams of armor. Man and mount moved as a single mass of metal. "Charge—!" "Mister… when the war ends, you'll go back soon, right?" That question was light.It did not give time to prepare an answer. Park Seong-jin looked up at the sky once.The sun had already tilted beyond the wall. 치열한 전쟁에 소집된 주인공이 전장을 거치며 검을 익히고, 끝내 선도의 완성에 이르는 대검호로 성장해 가는 이야기. This is my first time sharing my work on a global platform. I truly look forward to your evaluation and feedback. I am particularly interested in how readers from different cultural backgrounds perceive the story. Thank you sincerely. Author Note: This story may soon be contracted with another platform, so it might be removed from Royal Road.If you're interested, please read it while it is still available.Thank you.
