Ken dreamed of becoming the world's strongest swordsman. But when his jealous younger brother betrayed him, Ken lost everything—his sight, his family, and the future he had spent his entire life pursuing. Cast out and left to wander alone, he eventually discovers a truth that changes everything: A true swordsman does not rely on sight. Taken in by a small orphanage and inspired by a mysterious blind swordsman, Ken begins walking a new path. One forged through determination, instinct, and relentless training. The world believes a blind swordsman cannot survive. Ken intends to prove them wrong. As powerful enemies emerge, hidden secrets surface, and his past comes back to haunt him, Ken must master a blade that sees beyond the eyes. His dream was stolen. Now he will reclaim it. And one day, the world will know the name of the Blade Without Sight.
