What if the world was divided into people with martial arts powers and people without? Taeyeon Kang was one of the lucky few born with such powers. He enrolls in Murim Police University, a special school for those with powers to stand on the side of justice… but he has a secret of his own. He’s here to uncover the truth behind his father’s disappearance as well as seek protection from the Evil Murim Faction which is after his family’s secret book of martial arts techniques. At the same time, the legendary Ghost King makes his grand return, years after his mysterious disappearance. Just who is this masked anti-hero?
In a world where the Murim world of the past continued on to modern day…
After the killer ‘Phantom Spirit King’ disappeared without a trace, the Murim spent its days peacefully.
One day, a drug that enhances the inner strength of Martial Artists appeared, and just in time, the ‘Phantom Spirit King’ who had disappeared showed himself.

WEBTOON readers are just bots, they made this crap have high rank
I'm struggling to care about the MC. I don't know how to rate this. I'm pretty this is a "it's me, not you" situation where the story is obviously not made for readers like me.
It might work for those who likes martial arts in the modern world...even if this is, like literally every Korean murim story, a n unsanctioned fanfic of Jin Yong's novels.
This time, to use fanfic lingo and tags, it's an alternative universe: modern setting, original characters, self insert and all the sects, titles and character's family names/background world building that Jin Yong wrote are just dumped into S. Korea instead of its native China setting.
Normally don't like urban type murim settings but really like this one and the character. The humor is really good too.
Nice art but a below average story. Needlessly convoluted plots make the narrative feel stagnated despite the flashy action scenes.
