The lone swordmaster
By @Oluhle
Ruan woke up believing he had trained in isolation for a century, only to discover a devastating truth: one thousand years have passed, and the medieval world he once protected is unrecognizable. Humanity has been enslaved by a system of Constellations - gods, demons, and transcendent beings who grant hunters powers in exchange for their absolute servitude. Worse, these celestial entities systematically hunted down and slaughtered every other martial artist to erase the legacy of mortal strength. As the undisputed strongest being in the verse, Ruan’s unparalleled sword mastery makes him a living god among mortals. Yet, he is entirely alone, carrying the crushing guilt of surviving while his peers were purged. To avenge his fallen brothers and reclaim humanity's destiny, Ruan wages a one-man war against the heavens. Armed with a blade that can slice through divine authority, he will hunt the gods who dare to rule his world, or die trying.
