Our protagonist was just an ordinary boy living in a quiet village. But his life changed forever when his childhood sweetheart was chosen to join a team of heroes to fight evil. Determined to stand by her side, he devoted his life to gaining power, sacrificing his sweat and blood until he reached the top. Yet when the heroes triumphed, and as he prepared to propose to her, he discovered that the team’s leader was the one marrying Alicia. In that moment, he realized that despite all his efforts, all he gained was heartbreak.

In his search for meaning, a great invasion from the Abyss swept across the world. During a fierce battle against its generals, he was killed. But the pendant he carried released a hidden power, transporting him to a new world—one where blacksmiths were sacred. There, he apprenticed under a dwarf and became the greatest weapon smith, only to die and reincarnate again into another world where alchemists were revered. He mastered the art of alchemy and rose to the top once more.

His journey continued through countless worlds—where he learned the ancient rune script, and later was reborn in the world of Murim to become a Heavenly Demon. With each life, his knowledge and power grew.

After these long journeys between worlds, the pendant returned him to the moment where it all began. But this time, he sought neither love, glory, nor wealth. He desired something far greater—ultimate power, true freedom, and release from the curse of eternal reincarnation.

And so, his journey toward the peak began again—not to become the strongest man in the world, but to break the chains of fate and reach for the stars.
