Vikir, the illegitimate son of the infamous Baskerville family, is raised as part of a brutal pack of assassins trained to kill without mercy. Despite his loyalty, he is ultimately betrayed and executed by the very family he served. Instead of death, Vikir awakens in the past with his memories intact. Given a second chance at life, he resolves to sharpen his blade, outgrow the hounds who once ruled over him, and turn his suffering into calculated revenge. In a world ruled by blood, loyalty, and power, Vikir prepares to bite back.
Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound is a dark regression fantasy driven by betrayal and ruthless ambition. Vikir’s rebirth is not a moment of salvation, but an opportunity to reclaim agency in a world that treated him as expendable. His upbringing as an assassin gives him a lethal edge, while his past-life memories allow him to anticipate and dismantle his enemies from within.
The story excels at portraying oppressive family hierarchies and the psychological scars left by abuse disguised as loyalty. Rather than seeking redemption, Vikir embraces cold efficiency, making his rise both brutal and satisfying to watch. The narrative maintains a consistent grim tone, reinforcing the sense that survival requires cruelty.
While it follows familiar revenge beats, its execution is sharp and deliberate. Readers who enjoy dark fantasy, morally gray protagonists, and methodical payback will find this manhwa particularly compelling.
