Born with talent that could reshape the world and a body destined to wither away, Yeonshin is a boy walking a tightrope between legend and tragedy. He possesses the potential to either ascend as the ultimate hero of his age or descend into the absolute darkness of the Heavenly Demon.

With every breath counting down toward his final hour, he must carve out a legacy that defies the heavens themselves. Will he succumb to the expiration date stamped on his life, or will he shatter the chains of his destiny? Step into a high-stakes journey where every move is a desperate fight against mortality. This is more than just a quest for power; it is a race against time itself.
