When Jin Baek-hyeon awakens in an opulent mansion, the truth shakes him—he’s no longer a mere reader, but the Young Cult Master of the infamous Demonic Cult, thrust into the heart of a martial world torn by power, betrayal, and blood-soaked secrets.

Armed with nothing but his wits and a burning desire to change the fate of the cult, Jin must outmaneuver deadly rivals and navigate tangled loyalties. Every ally is a gamble, every mission a trap. From surviving a brutal ambush at Silent Peak to absorbing the soul of the legendary Heavenly Demon, Jin’s journey transforms him from a pawn into a force capable of shattering centuries of corruption.

But as the sinister Blood God Pill spreads like a plague—leaving a trail of shattered lives and tainted power—Jin faces a choice that could remake the martial world itself. With a band of unlikely allies and new-found strength, he battles ruthless sects, exposes hidden crimes, and challenges the very foundations of power at the Dragon-Phoenix Gathering.

Can Jin Baek-hyeon rewrite destiny and break the chains of the Demonic Cult, or will he be consumed by the darkness he seeks to destroy? The path to redemption is paved with peril—and every step may be his last.
