The Philosopher in Murim

Dr. Alistair Finch, a young philosophical prodigy, dies tragically and awakens as Jin-Hyeok, a frail orphan in Murim—a world where only martial strength matters. There, he discovers the Eidolon of the Logos: a power that turns philosophy into martial arts. Stoicism becomes an unbreakable defense. The Socratic Method unravels enemies’ moves. Metaphysics forges blades of pure concept. Training in a forgotten sect’s dusty library, Jin-Hyeok rises—but his heretical powers draw hunters and enemies from every corner of Murim. To survive, he must balance ruthless battle with the ethics of a true philosopher. The Philosopher: A tale where the sharpest weapon is the mind, and enlightenment is earned in blood.
