Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Yeon So-Woon knew a life steeped in blood and treachery. Rising through the scheming, strife-ridden ranks of the Demonic Sect, he had earned his place as a disciple of the Heavenly Demon himself—yet even that hard-won status could not shield him from the sect's endless infighting. In the end, it was his own fellow disciple who turned against him, and Yeon So-Woon met a bitter death at the hands of betrayal. But death was not the end. When he opens his eyes once more, he finds himself restored to his childhood—a time before the Demonic Sect ever laid claim to him, before the hell that consumed his first life had even begun. Determined never to endure that wretched existence again, Yeon So-Woon sets out to forge a new future entirely on his own terms. This time, the blade points back the other way: he will exact his revenge upon the Demonic Sect that destroyed him—and rise not within its shadow, but to the rank of elder in the Murim Union.
