Raon was once a dedicated assassin for House Robert until Derus ended his life. Unwilling to accept this fate, Raon fervently prayed for vengeance and was reborn into the influential House Sieghart. To achieve his revenge, he intends to leverage all the vast resources available to him. Despite retaining knowledge of a powerful Flame Link technique, he suffers from the Curse of Bitter Frost, which gradually drains his life force. Complicating matters further, the demonic embodiment of Wrath attempts to seize control of his body.
Originally featured on KakaoPage and Daum, this webtoon has official translations in English, Japanese, Thai, Traditional Chinese, and French.
Once the notorious leader of the Shadows, an elite group of assassins, Raon lived as a pawn. However, destiny intervened, granting him a second chance at life as the grandson of Glenn Sieghart, the Destructive King of the North. Possessing the Fire Ring from infancy, he prepares to embark on his cultivation journey. Diagnosed with the Curse of Frost, the challenges seem overwhelming. Can Raon rise to stand on his own two feet, live by his own will, and ultimately become the continent's strongest swordsman?
Peace:- "nah, I'd win"
I have some issues with this manhwa.
First, the direct lineage / direct descendant thing. Raon is a direct descendant as he is literally the grandson of the patriarch. Saying he's of some cadet branch or not of the main family would make sense,
Second issue I have: major plothole with
Yes, these issues are pretty much just mine and I doubt many other people would care, but it is pretty disappointing such glaringly obvious issues weren't caught. Still, it's a decent read if you aren't bothered by these issues.
I'd say it's a solid 8.5/10 manhwa... Except for the biggest, glaring elephant in the room. The System Bullcrap™.
Not only it is terribly designed making it feel very out of place, it also has zero contribution towards the story. You could remove it completely, even while keeping the demon wrath thing, and nothing about the story would change.
First of all don't listen to that other commenter he's an idiot. The status window is actually explained, and pretty decently as well if you keep reading.
For the rest its a nice story and even though he's reborn which is an advantage he also has some rather large debuffs making it fair.
This is, as far as I can tell, supposed to be a serious manga.
In the world of this manga, there is swordsmanship, magic, cultivation, assassins - in fact the MC was an assassin. And he wants revenge.
So, all in all, a pretty serious setup. I've read 3 chapters and so far it has been completely dead serious with absolutely no hint of humor or comedy whatsoever.
Yet out of fucking nowhere, a status window pops up? And there is no explanation given for this whatsoever?
It's not a modern day setting. It's a fantasy world with swords and magic and cultivation and shit. And yet the MC gets a "system" with a "status window" for absolutely no reason?
wtf is this.
As soon as I saw the status window I just instantly NOPE'D out. This isn't a VRMMO. I can forgive a status window if the MC was originally from Earth and isekai'd into another world. But there is no hint of Earth in this manga. The entire setting is in the fantasy world, the MC lived his entire life in the fantasy world and Earth as far as I can tell doesn't exist in the setting of this manga. So it makes completely no sense whatsoever to have status windows. It just breaks immersion immediately.
