A Sword's Lament

The world of the martial underworld belongs to the powerful, but the nobody Ma Liu wants to take his grandfather's ashes and see it for himself. Brothers turn against each other, small-timers curry favor with the powerful, demons regard people as mere weeds, and so-called heroes smile while hiding knives... The martial underworld he sees is nothing like the one in books. The seven kingdoms are at war, corpses litter the land, and monsters pour out of the Ten Thousand Mountains to wreak havoc. The martial underworld is still the same as ever. One small-timer like him can't turn the world upside down!
