“Myst, Might, Mayhem” (괴력난신) is a dark martial arts web novel set in the same universe as Nano Machine, taking place nearly 800 years before the events of that story.
The plot follows a ruthless assassin known as the “Slaughtering Scythe Demon,” who kills and assumes the identity of Mok Gyeongwoon, the third young master of the prestigious Mok Sword Clan. Now living under a stolen name, he must navigate the dangerous and politically complex world of Murim while concealing his true identity.
The story delves deep into the main character’s internal struggles as he balances the brutal instincts of a killer with the aristocratic life he’s forced to maintain. With bloody battles, intense power struggles, and a protagonist who is far from traditional, this novel offers a compelling mix of mystery, violence, and survival.
