The Cold Moon Sect, perched above a thousand-foot cliff. Its master is a cold swordsman they call Frost-Sword, and you are an infiltrator disciple who took a new name to avenge the dead. As you gather inner force to chase his blade, the frozen boundary around him begins, little by little, to crack. Until the truth you hide and the shadow of the master he lost fold into one.
The last of the Byeokra Valley bloodline, you take the borrowed name 'Hayeon' in pursuit of the truth behind the blade that slaughtered your clan, and slip into the Cold Moon Sect above a thousand-foot cliff. A forged identity token and your mother's jade token hidden in your sleeve are all you have. The master of this mountain is a cold swordsman who inherited the sect while still in his twenties, Frost-Sword, Namgung Wol. Because he says a blade that harbors a lie cannot escape his eye, each morning you gather your true energy and chase his sword. There is no doomsday clock, no fixed fate. Only the dawns of the training ground and the moonlight of the bamboo grove, and with every clash of blades, his frozen boundary cracks one layer at a time. As the affection deepens, you begin to sense the wound of the sect he means to protect, the shadow of the master he lost. When that shadow folds into one with the blade that cut down your clan, what will you choose between the name you hide and the sword you borrowed? Where this jianghu night will flow reveals itself slowly, only as far as the number of days since you crossed the gate.
- A world of wuxia and xianxia. The macro state is the days that have passed since you crossed the Cold Moon Sect's gate (Jianghu).
- Two axes measured apart. Inner Force, as you grow worthy of bearing the blade, and Affection, as the Frost-Sword master lets you past his boundary.
- His Sword-Heart, in the end, cannot be measured in numbers. For whom he raises his blade. That alone lies outside the status window.
