A South Korean take on the Asian Murim (Martial Art World) during medieval Asia with a unique collection of Korean martial arts stances and legendary weapons. The story follows the adventure of Han Bi Kwang and Dam Hwa Rin, pupils of two opposing factions, Jongpa and Sapa, to find the Sword Emperor and learn more about themselves. The title was so successful that KRG Soft in South Korea developed an MMORPG adaptation called Yulgang in 2004. Both the comic and the game are still ongoing in South Korea.
