Known as the Lord of Death, the greatest assassin in Murim, a man who lived only to kill meets a tragic end while attempting to escape the life that bound him. Instead of dying, he awakens reborn as the heir of a powerful demonic cult. Given a new body blessed with exceptional talent and retaining all of his past martial experience, he is thrust into a brutal struggle for supremacy within the faction. Surrounded by enemies, schemes, and relentless competition, he must fight to rise through the ranks and claim the title of demon god. For him, power is not ambition—it is the only path to freedom.
Chronicles of the Demon Faction delivers a focused murim reincarnation story centered on control, dominance, and liberation. The protagonist’s background as Murim’s top assassin gives him an immediate edge, making his rise calculated rather than impulsive.
The demonic cult setting reinforces constant tension, where loyalty is conditional and strength determines survival. Rather than seeking redemption, the protagonist pursues autonomy, treating power as a means to sever all chains—past and present. Combat is decisive and efficient, reflecting his assassin mindset.
While the series follows familiar murim structures, its execution remains sharp and purposeful. Readers who enjoy dark fantasy, ruthless protagonists, and demonic faction politics will find this manhwa consistently engaging and satisfying.
