Yongsaui Ballad

For thirty years, Ricky lived three distinct lives. He spent his first decade as a humble shepherd roaming the Hyden Plains, his second mastering the blade on brutal battlefields, and his final ten years as the Steel Assassin—a dreaded killer whose name became synonymous with death. Surrounded by the stench of fire, steel, and blood, he ultimately met a solitary end in an empty field, leaving behind nothing but the lingering echoes of screams. Yet death was not his final chapter. Ricky awakens reincarnated as the third son of a noble family, born into a world that has known peace for a century since the war he once fought finally concluded. Stripped of his violent past but burdened by its memories, he is forced to confront a haunting question: was there ever any true purpose behind the conflict that forged him into a monster? Determined to uncover the answer, Ricky enrolls in an academy and begins a new path as an adventurer. Leaving the legacy of the Steel Assassin behind, he steps into an unfamiliar era to seek the deeper meaning of life, war, and the choices that define them both.
