You called me. A person like me "Brightness of Hermit". Become an escort!

An unknown voice disturbed me while I was levitating during my cultivation to reach the transcendent demonic state.

My concentration had been broken, and I fell into an unconscious, overloaded state. When I awoke a month later, the Lich King had already taken control of the Murim.

After the battle that ended with the destruction of the Heavenly Demon Cult, I awoke a hundred and forty years later in a Murim where magic and martial arts coexisted.

A scout in the infamous Demon Cult, Seolhwi is on a routine patrol when his squad unexpectedly encounters a fearsome master of the Mount Hua Sect, the sworn enemies of the Demon Cult. Without warning, the Mount Hua Cult master slaughters the entire squad. As Seolhwi lies dying, lamenting years of service to the cult with nothing to show for it, he is suddenly faced with a video game prompt, asking if he would like to start again. Given the opportunity to start over and make different choices, Seolhwi vows to survive and become stronger so he can rise to the top of the Demon Cult.
