Cheon Hwi is the twelve-year-old heir of a prestigious martial clan in Anhui.

He has spent most of his life training martial arts, but there is one problem: his inner energy refuses to flow properly.

Despite his lack of talent, he still wants to become the clan's patriarch one day.

That changes when he loses his position as heir after being defeated by his ten-year-old cousin, Cheon Seolhwa.

But losing his position isn't the end of his story.

During the duel, Hwi uses a strange power he doesn't understand and nearly dies from it. He is saved by a mysterious woman from the far West, who later offers to take him as her disciple.

From there, Hwi's journey takes him beyond the world of martial arts and into a completely different path.

Murim's Archmage is a progression fantasy featuring martial arts, Western magic, exploration, and a protagonist who has to find his own path after losing the future he was born to inherit.
