In his past life, they called him the Battle Demon. A legendary soldier who survived hell, only to lose his leg and die a powerless gangster. Now, he's back. Eighteen years old, with the mind of a 60-year-old veteran and the instincts of a killer. This time, there will be no regrets. From the grimy streets of Hangzhou, Do Tong-dal begins his ruthless ascent. To his enemies, he is a reckless thug. To his allies, a brilliant strategist. To those who stand in his way, he is death itself. His ambition knows no bounds, escalating from simple street brawls to a high-stakes political gambit to decide the next emperor. He will gather the strongest, the forgotten, and the broken—a military sword master, a fallen hero, and a proud sword maiden bound by guilt—and forge them into the most feared force in the land. This is not a story of justice. It's the saga of a man who will become the Emperor of the Night, one calculated move and one broken body at a time.
