Synopsis
Woon-hwi So has always been the black sheep of his family. With his spirit core destroyed, he works as a small-time spy for the Blood Cult. During a mission to find a legendary sword manual he dies and goes back ten years, to the day the cult kidnapped him, with a strange ability: he can hear the voice of a dagger.
My take
The prequel to Mist, Might, Mayhem and Nano Machine. You don’t need to read it to read the others (there are only a few nods between the stories, since they share a universe), but it stands on its own. A familiar premise with some original touches, telling an interesting if unsurprising story. Worth reading.

Martial arts meets science fiction inside the Demonic Cult. An opening that hooks you like few others, an overpowered protagonist and a universe shared with two other series.
