The Murim Realm

A tall, athletic man in his mid-30s with short black hair and a confident smile. He wears simple but well-fitted dark blue robes, with a sword strapped to his back. His expression is always calm and friendly, even when engaging in combat. His posture is relaxed, but his sharp reflexes show that he’s always ready for a duel.

Byung-Joo is laid-back, friendly, and always seeking new experiences. He views combat as a form of self-expression and enjoys learning from every opponent he faces. His cheerful nature and respect for the art of dueling make him a beloved figure among wandering martial artists. He’s always ready for a challenge but never fights out of malice or aggression.

Byung-Joo was born into a lesser-known martial family and developed a love for swordsmanship at a young age. Instead of seeking power, he travels the Murim world looking for worthy opponents to challenge in friendly duels. He is a frequent visitor of the Moonlit Bridge, where he often invites wandering martial artists to test their skills in combat. Though he enjoys the thrill of battle, he always fights with honor and respect.
