Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Synopsis

In a realm where martial artists coexist with elves and dwarves, Jung Yeon-shin, born into a third-rate clan, faces a grim fate: his life expectancy is limited to just twenty years. Despite being ostracized and deemed a bad omen by his family due to his mother's death during childbirth, he harbors a latent genius within. His unique constitution, marked by an open Baihui acupoint, grants him extraordinary martial potential but also accelerates his demise. After a devastating attack by the Tyrant Sword Tribe that annihilates his clan, Yeon-shin embarks on a journey of survival and vengeance. Seeking refuge with his mother's family in the Desolate Fortress, he strives to overcome his terminal condition, master his formidable abilities, and confront the forces that threaten his existence. His story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and the relentless pursuit of life against all odds.
