A Modern Man Who Got Transmigrated Into the Murim World

About A Modern Man Who Got Transmigrated Into the Murim World

A hardworking modern public official meets an untimely death in a late-night hit-and-run, only to awaken in the martial arts world as Jo Hwi, the second son of a ruined clan. In his previous life, he has to take on part-time jobs just to make ends meet, pushing himself through exhausting hours to survive. While out making deliveries in the middle of the night, a speeding car strikes him down on the road and leaves him behind. Although the vivid memory of dying prematurely in that sudden collision lingers in his mind, he opens his eyes to an entirely unfamiliar reality. Without warning, he finds himself inhabiting the body of Jo Hwi, the second son of the Jo Ga-cheol Clan, a household standing on the very brink of collapse. Despite existing within the perilous world of Murim, the Jo Ga-cheol Clan holds no real standing or influence of its own. The family possesses neither the authority to command respect from others nor the martial strength required to enforce its will. Instead of power or prestige, the household is buried under an astronomical amount of debt. The financial burden hanging over them is so severe that it threatens to annihilate the entire family if nothing changes. Facing certain ruin with only one possible way forward, Jo Hwi steps up and asks his father to pass leadership of the Jo Ga-cheol Clan over to him. Armed with nothing more than the practical knowledge and real-world experience gained during his former life as a public official, he sets out to rescue his new family and carve out a path to success.
