Slow-burn martial arts, family bonds, buried legacies, and a protagonist who refuses to cheat his way to the top.

He died in Murim with poison in his veins… and woke up on Earth with nothing.

Blue always felt out of place. The world called it reincarnation. He called it punishment.

But when a mysterious Golden Gate opens—just for him—he's thrown back into Murim, the realm he once called home.

No one remembers the name Tang Jiung. Not even his little sister, now a feared general and matriarch of the Tang Clan.

To survive, Blue must hide his identity, master unfamiliar techniques, and earn his place in the Martial Alliance… while unraveling the truth behind the gates, the gods who made them, and the legacy he left behind.

If you've made it this far, thank you. Whether you've read one chapter or all eight...I genuinely appreciate the time you've given Modern Day Martial Arts. This story means a lot to me, and I'm excited to share it with those willing to go along for the ride.


This is a slow-burn tale of growth, identity, and rediscovery. If you're looking for an OP protagonist who wins from the start, this may not be your cup of tea. But if you're curious about a character who struggles, hides his past, and has to earn every bit of power he gains, then I hope you stick around.


Chapter 9 drops tomorrow.We're diving deeper into Blue's training with the Silent Edge Corps...where pain is a teacher, and failure comes with consequences.


Silent Edge is no joke. And blue? He's just getting started
