Jihwan Ryu's life in Seoul's high society is a facade of luxury and elegance, hiding the truth of a boy burdened by relentless bullying. His parents remain unaware of his daily struggles. All he desires is to escape his powerless existence.
Everything changes when Jihwan awakens in the enigmatic Murim World. Trapped in the body of a bruised and scarred five-year-old, Jihwan must adapt to a realm dominated by ancient martial arts and powerful sects. Lacking qi and unfamiliar with his surroundings, he finds guidance from a grizzled old man who offers to teach him the ways of Murim.
What became of the once-great Ryu family, now reduced to mere legend? Can Jihwan uncover the secrets of his lineage and restore the honor of his ancestors, or will the dangerous factions vying for control in Murim destroy him before he can find his place?
Blending action, supernatural intrigue, and the humor of a modern boy thrust into a world of warriors, Beyond the Break is an epic journey through a world where survival means mastering both body and soul.
