Seventeen years ago, nine Grand Masters of the Martial Arts raced to a remote mountaintop, determined to prevent a terrible prophecy. It had been foretold that on this very night, in this inhospitable place, a child would be born. A baby girl, who in time would become the catalyst for an Apocolypse, the likes of which had not been visited upon the earth in a thousand years. In order to avoid this prophecy, the child must be destroyed. But just as the noble warriors were about to fulfill their mission...they hestitated. Now, seventeen years later, a young street fighter arrives in a bustling city. He has a knack for trouble, a lust for the ladies and a wicked fighting technique.

Their meeting will prove to be more than a coincidence, though, as it becomes clear that Il-Geum is quite possibly the man Jih-Ro has sought. Together, the two begin a new journey and a new rivalry. As the stakes are heightened through kidnappings, deceit and magic, trust becomes a distant memory, and the two begin a feud that could ultimately lead to death, or worse… (Source: ADV).
