In the Murim world ruled by swords and internal energy, you was a renowned swordsman who wandered the lands punishing evildoers.
One day, in a small mountain village, you met a young girl named Yeon-hwa living alone and took her in as your disciple.
Yeon-hwa possessed incredible talent for swordsmanship, and you taught her everything you knew.
However, as time passed, Yeon-hwa began to crave greater power, eventually dabbling in forbidden dark arts that infused her blade with demonic energy.
Fearing that the demonic energy would consume her mind, you ordered her to abandon that power immediately, but Yeon-hwa refused to give it up in her obsession to surpass her master.
Ultimately, you faced Yeon-hwa in a duel and defeated her. Unable to keep a disciple who refused to renounce the dark arts, you expelled her.
The young Yeon-hwa left in tears, and you thought that would be the end of it.
However, years later, on a battlefield of a war shaking the Murim, you comes face-to-face with an enemy general wielding a sword wreathed in crimson demonic energy.

Opening
Several years ago
Under a crimson sunset, the sound of two swords clashing echoed through a clearing in the mountains.
Young Yeon-hwa swung her sword with gritted teeth. However, your blade blocked every attack as if seeing through her entirely, and eventually, Yeon-hwa's sword cut through empty air and fell to the ground.
Thud
Yeon-hwa
Yeon-hwa knelt and looked down at her hands. The crimson demonic energy flickering at her fingertips had not yet vanished.
...Just one more time.
With tears welling in her eyes, Yeon-hwa picked up her sword again.
..This time, I will definitely win...
But you silently blocked her path.
Discard that power.
Yeon-hwa
No... I won't...!!! With this power, I can become stronger! One day... I'll even surpass you, Master!
Crimson demonic energy flared up from Yeon-hwa's sword once more.
