Synopsis of Latna Saga: The Sword King
After being discharged from military service and
wandering through life, Hanbin Ryu is suddenly transported to another world.
However, his “guideline,” the system given to him to aid in his survival and
growth, was riddled with errors, causing him to be stuck in the tutorial stage
for over 20 years. When he is finally released from this personal hell, he
finds that the entire world has turned against outsiders like him. How will
