Synopsis:
He was an idealistic young man, an honest citizen—or at least, he aspired to be one. But life was never easy for him. Losing his father at a young age, he was raised by his mother in his uncle’s house, where survival came at the cost of relentless hardship. A job was his utmost necessity, but finding one without bribery seemed impossible. He lacked many things in life, except for one—a strikingly well-built physique, sculpted through rigorous exercise, even earning him a medal. Yet, despite this, he remained insignificant in society.
This novel narrates how an overlooked, powerless man one day rises to prominence, becoming the ruler of an empire, against the backdrop of the underworld.
