Wizard's Martial World

At seventy-eight years old, the archmage Midran has dedicated his life to mastering the arcane arts, yet he remains trapped at the threshold of the eighth circle. Despite decades of relentless study and magical prowess, the final step toward greater power continues to elude him. Just as his lifelong pursuit seems to reach a standstill, an inexplicable event drastically alters his fate, transforming the elderly mage back into the body of a young child. Stripped of his physical maturity but burdened with the memories and ambitions of a seasoned archmage, Midran faces an unprecedented challenge. He must navigate this second chance by attempting to recover the vast reserves of mana he cultivated in his past life. His ultimate ambition is no longer merely reaching the eighth circle; he now strives to achieve the legendary status of a ninth-circle archmage, a feat that would cement his mastery over magic forever. However, his path to supreme magical power does not unfold in the familiar world he once knew. Instead, Midran finds himself thrust into the Murim, a realm defined by martial artists and their own distinct codes of power. Armed with the mind of an archmage and the fragile body of a child, he must struggle to survive and adapt his arcane knowledge within a world governed by martial strength.
