The Swordmaster’s Promise

In a world where strength is decided at birth, the weak are forgotten. Leon de Velric was born into one of the most powerful noble families in the Alcydian Empire… yet he was never meant to stand among them. Cursed with mana hypersensitivity, his body is too fragile to wield the very power that defines greatness. To his father, he is a disgrace. To his family, a burden. To the world… nothing more than a failure waiting to fade away. But before her death, his mother made him a promise— “Become strong… so you never have to rely on anyone.” With nothing but that promise, Leon walks a path no one else can. A path without talent. Without guidance. Without mercy. As darkness rises once more and the shadow of the fallen god Varkulon begins to stir, Leon must forge his own power—one that defies the limits of mana itself. Through pain, loss, and relentless determination, he will create a sword that belongs to no one but him. A sword that cuts through fate.
