Having lived countless lives, he had experienced everything from reigning as the Supreme Martial Sovereign to dominating the entire world. After achieving every possible glory, all he desired was eternal peace—yet the relentless wheel of rebirth refused to release him.
This time, he awakened as Seok Jin-ho, the youngest heir of the illustrious Seok merchant dynasty, rulers of commerce in the heart of the Central Plains.
Surrounded by luxury, he considered embracing a tranquil, unburdened existence—until the lingering will within his soul stirred. It burned with an unquenchable thirst for recognition.
“Fine,” he conceded. “I’ll grant your desire—but on my terms.”
No longer bound by past ambitions, he resolved to forge a new path, one that would satisfy both the echoes of his former self and his own weariness of endless cycles.
Yet destiny had other plans. Whispers of unrest reached his ears, hinting at shadows creeping into the prosperous lands his family governed.
Could he truly remain idle when chaos threatened the peace he sought?
With a sigh, he clenched his fists. Perhaps this life wouldn’t be as simple as he’d hoped.
The martial prodigy within him stirred, awakening to a challenge he couldn’t ignore.
The world would soon remember his name—not as a conqueror, but as the guardian of the fate he chose.
