Jeong’s life is shattered by the brutal murder of his grandfather, an event that pushes him onto a path of bloodshed and obsession. Driven solely by revenge, he embraces the identity of the Scythe Demon, abandoning hesitation and mercy. However, raw rage alone is not enough to defeat the powerful enemy responsible for his loss. To stand a chance, Jeong must undergo relentless martial training, sharpening both his body and his killing intent. As he advances through the martial world, his pursuit of vengeance forces him to confront the cost of power, the weight of his choices, and the danger of losing himself entirely to hatred.
Myst, Might, Mayhem is a straightforward but effective murim revenge story that prioritizes intensity and momentum. Jeong’s transformation from grieving grandson to ruthless martial artist is driven by a singular purpose, giving the narrative clarity and focus.
The manhwa excels in its depiction of training and progression, emphasizing discipline, endurance, and brutality rather than shortcuts or sudden power-ups. Combat is direct and often unforgiving, reinforcing the protagonist’s descent into a darker path. Emotional complexity takes a back seat to determination, which aligns well with the story’s tone.
While it follows familiar revenge tropes, its execution remains consistent and purposeful. Readers who enjoy dark murim stories, relentless protagonists, and revenge-driven progression will find Myst, Might, Mayhem a solid and engaging read.
