The Iron-Fisted Mage

Divinity or humanity? Was mankind’s lowly nature born of the gods’ supreme power, or did human ignorance and piety give rise to the gods’ authority? The war between humans and gods has never ceased, not since the day humanity was born! Thirty thousand years ago, an elemental storm swept across the continent, bringing the once-glorious civilization of magic to complete ruin. The Age of Sacred Armor rose in its wake. Thirty thousand years later, the illegitimate son of a mighty clan, born unable to practice martial arts, is forced to embark on the arduous path of magic. After a martial artist from Earth is moved by the boy’s kindness and gives up his life to empower him, the boy unexpectedly inherits his legacy. Where will his path lead? Beneath the celebrations, undercurrents stir. A thousand-year war rages between religions. In the bustling imperial capital, among the dashing nobles and brilliant battle auras, what truth lies behind all the glamour? Are the words recorded in ancient texts a form of concealment or a hint? What lies beyond the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind? Imperial power, divine authority, human rights: who can rule the world and shape history? This is a very, very long scroll, a lament flowing through the river of history, laughter recorded beneath the sun and moon. Little by little, drop by drop, I shall tell it all to you.
