Jin Yeong lived an ordinary life. He worked an ordinary job, went home to an ordinary apartment, and was the kind of man nobody ever remembered.

That all changed the day the sky cracked open over Seoul.

A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity's weakness. Monsters flooded the streets, cities fell in a single night, and every survivor was given a skill to fight back. Some awakened the power to control fire, lightning, or the earth itself.

Jin awakened Limitless Weapon Mastery, a skill that let him use any weapon at its full potential and nothing more.

Without magic or special powers, he seemed to have drawn the weakest hand of all. But in a world where survival meant fighting with whatever was within reach, Jin soon discovered that his skill held far more than anyone expected.

With nothing but his skill and the will to protect the people beside him, Jin began his journey through a broken world, where anything he holds can kill.

The plaza split open at their feet. Shadows bled up out of the fresh cracks in the concrete like liquid night, spreading across broken rubble and dead grass in slow, writhing tendrils that curled around every piece of wreckage they touched. The air thickened around them, pressing down on Jin's chest until it felt like something was sitting directly on his lungs, and even breathing became a small act of effort.
