The Ember Knight
Steel clashes and sparks fly, an endless symphony echoing across the knight academy’s grim training grounds. Here, a warrior's worth is carved by their blade, their future forged in brutal combat trials. Only the truly prodigious ascend, their names becoming legends within the kingdom’s elite. Failure, however, means a swift, unforgiving end to any aspirations.
But for Na-Gyunn, the sting of failure turns into the icy grip of despair when he witnesses his twin, Na-Jin—a rising star among the trainees—cut down before his very eyes. A burning vow for revenge ignites, pushing him to make an impossible choice: to *become* Na-Jin. Slipping into his brother’s identity and donning his armor, Na-Gyunn takes up the blade, determined to master the combat prowess his sibling possessed. Yet, the brutal truth is, Na-Gyunn utterly lacks Na-Jin's natural talent. How long can he maintain this dangerous masquerade, training relentlessly under the eyes of the very people who would expose his secret identity, before his entire world collapses?
