How to Survive as a Martial World Civil Servant

Synopsis

In a world governed by martial prowess, a veteran gamer finds himself unexpectedly reborn as a low-ranking constable. Yeon Woo-hyuk, once a master strategist in the martial arts mystery game "Great Empire's Brilliant Constable," now navigates the treacherous landscape he only knew through a screen. Utilizing his encyclopedic knowledge of past in-game events, he solves crimes and quickly adapts to his new role as a "pokoe," a law enforcement officer. However, his unique ability, "Spirit Eye," comes at a deadly cost. It's revealed to be a symptom of his energy core (Dantian) being forcibly opened, threatening his life. Now, he must not only solve mysteries and fight corruption but also master martial arts to survive his rapidly approaching demise. Can he balance his duties as a civil servant with the desperate need to become a powerful warrior, or will his past life's expertise be insufficient to save him from this new, dangerous reality?
