A world of turmoil. This is the world of the great swordsmen. As the countries cross their blades to show their dominance in power, Their need for resources, Their want for more land, And the taste of freedom, The common people suffer. As they get swept by the war, their loved ones died, Their homes destroyed and their wills crushed by the reality that they can never avenge their suffering as long as they are the weakest, so long as they are kind and so long as they do not have the courage to stand up against their own fate! Noya Eiji is born in such a world. As a war orphan, he is picked up by one of the kindoms and is wondering over life on what to do and what to be, trying to survive day by day not wanting to be part of any of the conflicts between kingdoms, Because he still remembers what his mother's last words were " Be good boy who survives rather than become strong and be drowned by pain, suffering and darkness of the world!" ---- AN : This novel's MC is more on the passive side and while the MC is a bit OP, he wont be OP to the point of just destroying anybody, you might find the story to be boring so it totally fine to not like it, Although I hope otherwise. And also this image is not mine, I saw it on google, its from SOFAN COMICS in Pinterest.
