by Slashh-XO — The next day, Kang Oh headed alone to Honamgak. Normally, Woo would have been with him, but not today. He had thought that simply keeping Woo by his side and helping him grow used to it would be enough. But in the end, it felt like he’d only dragged along someone unwilling. His chest felt heavy. When he asked Woo to be kind to him just a little more, Woo only lowered his head and said nothing. He hadn’t expected much, yet the ache that lingered felt like a sign of his own pettiness. He had stayed…

by Slashh-XO — He had long since reached a realm where heat and cold no longer touched him, where even his senses dulled to the world around him, yet now, his body trembled. Was that just the chill that comes with death? But the sensation of the rain was far too vivid. Maybe this was that last moment of clarity before death. Once, he had stood at the top of the righteous martial world… and now, this was how he died. Though he was still breathing faintly, his mind felt like it was drifting near the edge…

by Slashh-XO — “I’ll make sure you won’t have to deal with such troublesome things again.” Kang Oh gave a small nod and stepped out. His stride was confident, unshaken. There was nothing about it that suggested someone flustered or trying to flee. With only his face peeking out of the water, Woo quietly watched his retreating figure until the door closed. He was a kind person. Once he had finished bathing, Woo used the cloth the attendants had left to dry himself. It was far softer and finer than…

by Slashh-XO — Kang Oh caught the end of the whip aimed at him. It was a masterful weapon-snatching technique, as precise as a hawk seizing prey in midair. “A master of a certain level can catch a whip like this. And then..” Kang Oh gave the whip a sharp pull. Banwi, trying not to let go, lost his balance and was dragged toward him. He barely managed to stop himself before being completely pulled in, using footwork to hold his position. The tension in the line made the whip stretch taut, as if it might snap at…

by Slashh-XO — When Jinrang returned, he was holding a shallow porcelain bowl. He poured the contents into Woo Hyo’s mouth. Woo Hyo coughed and spilled some, but Jinrang remained expressionless and paid it no mind. "In your current condition, you won’t be able to stand on your own. I’ll notify Baekragung for now. I’ll give you paper, so write the letter yourself. Since I pulled you back from the edge of death, make sure your words are careful enough not to cause any misunderstanding." "Didn’t you hear me…

by Slashh-XO — Yeonjin stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Woo’s face. But just as she reached for him, his arm lashed out in a fevered twist and struck her. “Ah—!” His strength, fueled by fever, was greater than she expected. Knocked back by the force of it, Yeonjin lost her balance and fell to the floor. The bowl of water and cloth she had been holding scattered beside her. “Step aside. I’ll do it myself.” Kang Oh had arrived at that moment and pointed toward the door. Yeonjin, still…

by Slashh-XO — There were no signs yet, but if Woo’s continued presence stirred something and caused the sealed memories to resurface, then it really would be irreversible. Yae Jinrang said more than once that this would be the last time. He had reached the limit of interfering with Kang Oh’s memories. “The human mind is more resilient than we think. And more familiar with pain than we expect. So this will be the last.” I understand! Woo responded inwardly, holding tight to the warning carved deep…

by Slashh-XO — Dust rose from the cliff’s edge. A man in a pale mask stood face to face with the youngest disciple of Heukcheon, Yae Kang Oh. “There is no turning back now.” A voice like a blade of frost came from Kang Oh’s lips. It was a rare thing, for he was the very subject of the rumors claiming that a noble aura had emerged from Heukcheon. And yet now, Kang Oh… The force radiating from him was no less than that of his master, the Lord of Heukcheon, Yae Jinrang. The masked man silently…

by Slashh-XO — In the late afternoon at Baekragung, a confidential meeting was held, attended only by high-ranking officials. There were two matters to resolve. The first concerned Dan Woo Hyo, the Lord of Baekragung, who had been missing for ten years. The second involved Paeng Soso, who had vanished without a trace after leaving with him. Unlike previous meetings, someone new had taken a seat at the head of the table. That person was none other than Seol Buyeong. “This time, we’ll send the search party to…
