A disgraced young swordsman discovers an ancient dual-blade technique in a sealed cave, but must master his inner demons before the forbidden power consumes his soul.




Ancient power barely contained, reverent danger
A sealed cavern beneath Cloud-Piercing Peaks where bioluminescent fungi cast an ethereal blue glow upon crumbling scrolls. The air vibrates with residual energy from centuries of forbidden practice.

Melancholic nostalgia and lingering shame
A remote mountain village where morning m cling to ancient practice yards, and the sound of training swords echoes against granite cliffs. The scent of pine and cold iron permeates the air.
Kaelen Vane, shamed by his defeat at the tournament, flees Ironwood Peak with his childhood friend Lyra Stone, seeking a way to redeem himself and restore honor to his family name.
Kaelen Vane faces his humiliating defeat at the regional tournament, where his overeagerness and broken blade become a public spectacle that drives him into exile.
Kaelen steps onto the dueling platform at Stonehold Citadel, filled with hope and determination to prove himself worthy of his father's legacy.

Kaelen's overeagerness leads to a reckless attack, and the champion's defense snaps his ancient blade in two, shattering both his weapon and his spirit.

As evening falls, Kaelen packs to leave Ironwood Peak in shame, only to find Lyra waiting at the village gate, choosing exile with him.

Under Master Ren's guidance, Kaelen begins training in the forbidden dual-blade technique while battling the temptation of quick power and confronting the spirits of the cave's past victims.
When the champion who defeated Kaelen returns to claim the forbidden technique, Kaelen must choose between quick revenge and true mastery, ultimately facing his inner demons to emerge as the Last Sword Saint.
