A swordsman gains the power to devour any blade he defeats, absorbing its techniques — and sets out to swallow the strongest swords in the world. Rin refuses to stay down, and the world that overlooked him is about to learn why.
The full story
Chapter 1: The First Step
Chapter 1 opens in a wind-scoured dueling ground high in the mountains, where Rin can no longer ignore the storm gathering on the horizon. What begins as a quiet morning turns tense the moment word arrives that a masked envoy has crossed into forbidden ground.
Rin leans on a cursed art that devours the skill of every sword he beats, and for the first time the true scale of that edge becomes clear. Those who once dismissed Rin as ordinary are forced to reconsider — strength like this does not appear by accident, and everyone can feel that the balance has shifted.
Standing in the way is the master swordsmen who guard their techniques with their lives, whose grip has only tightened. Their clash is less about brute force and more about wills: two sides that understand exactly what the other is willing to sacrifice. By the final page a line has been drawn that cannot be uncrossed.
Beneath the action runs the thread that has driven Rin from the start — to consume the strongest blades and reach the peak of the sword. This chapter pushes that goal one hard step closer, but the cost is real: an alliance frays, a secret surfaces, and the next chapter is certain to change everything.
