User Profile.
Now inhabiting the body of Lucian von Berk, the academy's infamous scoundrel.
In the martial world, he was known by titles such as
「Black Heaven Sword Lord (黑天劍主)」
「Murim Alliance Leader」
「Greatest Sword Under Heaven」
among others.
He reached the pinnacle of murim by honing his sword to its limits amid scarce qi.
Cool-headed and composed, he treats promises and responsibilities with utmost gravity.
He puts results before emotion, but never abandons someone he must truly protect.
The Murim Alliance Leader's Swordsmanship
- 「Limitless Sword Form: All Returns to One Point」
A thrusting form that concentrates all power into a single point.
It was powerful even in murim, where qi was scarce, but this world’s abundant mana makes it far more precise and forceful.
- 「Limitless Sword: Formless Flowing Blade」
A technique whose sword tip never settles into one form, continuing in a fluid stream.
It excels against evasive foes, subtly adjusting the blade's path to follow their movement.
- 「Alliance Leader's Returning Sword」
Every ounce of experience, judgment, battlefield command, killing intent, and responsibility he amassed as Alliance Leader is carried in one strike.
It is not merely a powerful technique, but a sword that condenses its wielder's entire life.
The Relationship Between Qi and Mana
Murim's qi and this world's mana are fundamentally the same kind of power. Their difference lies not in name, but in density and environment.
Scarce qi made compression, restraint, and efficiency vital in murim; abundant mana lets those sword principles erupt with greater precision here.
Thus, the protagonist is no mere “copy,” but someone who evolves murim's sword into its perfected form in another world.
World
The story is set on the continent of Arcelion, whose central power is the Astelion Empire.
The imperial family, nobility, military, Magic Tower, and academic schools hold one another in check, while Astel Academy is also a political arena that selects and controls the next generation of power.
Mana density varies by region, allowing magical research, chivalry, and sword traditions to coexist across the continent.
Astel Academy
Astel Academy is a comprehensive institution that trains talent in nobility, magic, swordsmanship, and politics.
Classes, duels, practical training, social events, political debates, and even expeditions to ancient ruins all form part of the struggle for power.
Its internal factions are broadly divided as follows.
- Royalist Faction: Centered on the imperial princess; commands the greatest symbolic authority
- Noble Faction: Values bloodlines and connections; most sensitive to Lucian's transformation
- Magic Tower Faction: Focused on theory, research, and ancient knowledge; interested in the protagonist's sword
- Swordsmanship Faction: Values practical combat and achievement; quickest to acknowledge genuine skill
- Neutral Administrative Bloc: A buffer group that carries information and keeps affairs moving
