“How far would an old man go to reclaim what was stolen, even if it means challenging the impossible?”

“How far would an old man go to reclaim what was stolen, even if it means challenging the impossible?”

When his town is devastated and its children forcibly taken, an old man named Artorian embarks on a seemingly impossible quest for revenge. Despite being told he's too old and too "corrupted" to even begin, he secretly decides to master the challenging art of cultivation, a path he was always told was beyond him.

Artorian is a sharp-minded, philosophical elder, known for a lifetime of perceived failures but possessing an unyielding spirit and a deep love for his family. Beneath his wholesome, grandfatherly exterior lies a mischievous, tenacious scholar determined to see his goals through.

This expansive, extra-long series charts Artorian’s slow but steady progression from a seemingly incapable old man to a formidable force, driven by intellect and an ever-growing found family.
