When Taiyuan fell to the northern riders, one boy survived.

Across frozen plains and wind-scoured wastelands, he walked alone—carrying nothing but his father’s last command:
Find General Jin Mugwang of Haran.

He was not a warrior.
He had never drawn a blade in battle.
Yet he crossed a land where even soldiers would not travel in winter.

In Haran, at the edge of the frontier, a war waits.
Armies gather.
Old loyalties fracture.
The border does not forgive weakness.

The boy who arrived half-frozen at the gates of the northern campaign will grow beneath banners of war.
But survival is only the beginning.

In a fractured age, he must learn when a blade must be drawn—
and when it must remain sheathed.

A story of war, loyalty, and the making of a man.

This is my first time sharing my work on a global platform. I truly look forward to your evaluation and feedback. 
I am particularly interested in how readers from different cultural backgrounds perceive the story. Thank you sincerely.

Note: This story may soon be contracted with another platform, 
so it might be removed from this site in the future.
Please read while it is still available. Thank you.

This chapter will be remove due to official publication.


In a few days, I will have to take this story down.


A work that had been verbally contracted is now being officially published. It will be released on a Korean platform called KakaoPage, and of course, it will be published in Korean.


Thank you to everyone who has read it so far.


It is still an imperfect story, so I am truly relieved that there were not many critical comments. I uploaded it because, after seeing what AI translation could do, I suddenly thought that perhaps this might be possible.


Thank you again to everyone who showed interest despite its shortcomings.
