Sword in My Right Hand, Lantern in My Left

Traditional fantasy, no System, with one female lead or none.

The powerful lord it over all: one sword strike, and they fall.

The strong prey on the weak: one sword strike, and they fall.

If immortals become demons, then one sword strike! Cut them down!

In the end, was it all for nothing?

Watch as a young man rises to greatness!
