RISE OF THE RULERS
Cheongrim rises, a fortress that gleams by day, yet its shadow beats darker within. On its throne sits Kang Do-hwan, a ruler of iron will. In the alleys below lurks Seo Min-jae—co-founder turned phantom, the ruthless Chairman of Shadows, who commands monsters.
Three youths step onto this stage of uneasy peace:
Jin Taek — “the Clown” whose scars vanish and whose twisted instinct turns hunters into prey.
Diego D’Souza — Kang’s heir who rejects privilege, carving his own strength while seeking the Vice Chairman’s shadowed guidance.
Ryu Seong-jin — Seo’s adopted grandson, loyal in mask, his unseen strikes leaving no wound but no escape.
As Diego’s succession confirms, Seo Min-jae plots from the dark, relentless. The Vice Chairman, hailed as the fiercest fighter alive, weighs broken oaths against survival.
And beyond Cheongrim’s walls, the silence of a fractured past begins to stir. When that scar tears open, who will bleed first—Seo Min-jae, the shadow… or the boy called Clown?
