Lee Gwak was once an ordinary martial artist with modest ambitions—until a disastrous encounter with the Celestial Demon Troupe left him crippled and unable to use his limbs. With his martial path seemingly ended, Lee Gwak faces complete despair. Just as he prepares to give up, he recalls a martial art he once learned and decides to stake everything on mastering it. Through relentless training and unwavering resolve, he miraculously begins to recover his body. Reborn through suffering, Lee Gwak vows to live not as an average martial artist, but as a true warrior who has carved his strength through pain and perseverance.
Martial Artist Lee Gwak stands out in the murim genre by stripping away flashy talent and destiny. Lee Gwak doesn’t rise because he was chosen—he rises because he refuses to stay broken.
The story emphasizes internal growth just as much as physical recovery. Every advancement feels meaningful because it’s born from loss, fear, and relentless effort. Rather than rushing toward dominance, the narrative allows Lee Gwak’s strength to develop organically.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who enjoy grounded martial arts stories, mature protagonists, and journeys where resilience matters more than raw talent.
