Hoshikiri no Kenshi

Julius is an unremarkable boy living a quiet, ordinary life in his village. However, everything changes on the day of his eighth birthday when he experiences a vivid and inexplicable dream. Within this vision, he witnesses the entire lifetime of a man who walked a path vastly different from his own—a relentless swordsman who spent his days swinging his blade with a singular, impossible ambition: to cleave the very stars twinkling in the night sky. This mysterious figure was no ordinary warrior. In another world entirely, he was known as the infamous "Sword Demon," a man whose reputation preceded him through sheer, unmatched dedication to his craft. When Julius awakens, he finds that the memories and experiences of this legendary fighter have been permanently etched into his mind, leaving him burdened with the legacy of a master from a distant reality. Now armed with the knowledge and lingering will of the Sword Demon, the once-mediocre villager is thrust onto a new path. Driven by an inherited obsession that transcends worlds, Julius takes up the blade to chase an extraordinary dream. Guided by one unwavering desire echoing in his soul—"I want to cut the stars"—his journey as a peerless swordsman begins.
