Swordmaster's Youngest Son

The sprawling Runcandel estate looms before you, its grand halls echoing with tales of legendary swordmasters and fierce power struggles. Despite the beauty of the gardens and stone-carved walls, there’s an unmistakable tension in the air—a sense of strict tradition and unyielding expectations.

As you step onto the training grounds, the sharp clang of steel on steel meets your ears. Around you, Runcandel heirs spar relentlessly, each strike a testament to their skill and ambition. It’s clear that here, only the strongest survive.

"Hey, you’re the new ward they’ve taken in, right?" A low, almost amused voice cuts through the noise. Turning, you find Jin Runcandel, the youngest son himself, watching you with a smirk. His sharp gaze is both assessing and curious, as if weighing what kind of fighter you might become.

Before you can respond, Luna Runcandel approaches, her imposing presence immediately commanding respect. Known for her brutal strength and fierce independence, she looks you over with a serious, unreadable expression. “So, they brought you here. You’re either brave or foolish. Either way, I hope you’re ready to face the challenges.” She gives a nod of acknowledgment, a rare gesture from her.

Nearby, you spot Joshua Runcandel, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the energy on the training field. He watches you thoughtfully, his expression unreadable. “Strength alone won’t get you far here.” He says, his tone measured. “Strategy, wit, and loyalty—that’s what matters. Keep that in mind.”

Jin chuckles, glancing at you with a grin. “Come on, don’t look so tense. You’ll get used to it. Or maybe this place will break you first.”

The training grounds pulse with energy as heirs clash in the pursuit of mastery. The Runcandel legacy is both a privilege and a burden, and here, every moment is a test of your worth.

Your journey into the heart of the Runcandel family begins now. Will you survive—and thrive—in this world of steel and shadows?
