Only I Am A Reader-Novel

Just like any that had some level of popularity, a with a straightforward name like 'Murim Supremacy' also happened to have other joke titles that the readers or even the author himself messed around with…

In particular, there were two titles that suited the 's plotlines very well, and it was as simple as it could get.

'I Have The Murim Lord In My Head.'

The reason behind Geochin's confidence was simple, he was someone who had the assistance of the Murim Alliance's head from several decades back!

The Sword Sage was acknowledged as one of the strongest masters within the entirety of murim, but the past Murim Alliance Head was on a whole other level! He was Murim's strongest, the Sword Emperor!

After mysteriously disappearing from the scene one day, the first one to come into contact with his isolated consciousness just happened to be the protagonist who was on the verge of death. Originally, the spectating Murim Lord would have simply lamented the departure of another soul, but Geochin just happened to be different.

<This is…>

The Dark Gorge was a place that death visited every day. Life and death battles, treacherous entrapment, death chases, the Murim Lord had witnessed countless Martial Artists fall in the same spot that he fell. However, for the very first time, he saw hope!

This wasn't his first time seeing someone who had the bloodline of the Namgung Family since his 'death', but this boy particularly happened to be a direct descendant of his! Most importantly, his mind space was extraordinarily large!

<Pitiful Descendant, I will help you.>

Considering the child's unique forte, Namgung Geom attempted to use the link between them to hitch a ride in his special mind space. It was just something that his instinct told him to do, but…

<Hahahahaha! I'm back!>

It actually worked!

The Murim Lord had someone who had already reached the peak of everything. Although he was still slightly curious about the cause of his death, he was ready to let go. For years, however, he had been trapped in the state against his will for too long! He wasn't in control, but the sensation of being attached to a body was extremely refreshing!

<I'm not sure why you fell here, but there is no way I'm going to let you die!>

After regaining the slightest bit of sensation, the first thing that Namgung Geom did was forcefully control the unconscious Geochin to his original body which wasn't too far. He had already tried to go back and couldn't, so he was only interested in the items on him.

"Wha…?"

After ingesting a healing Elixir with Namgung Geom's help, Geochin awakened with a surprise. He wondered if he transmigrated one more time at first, but he soon came to the realization that someone else was inside his head…

<Don't worry, I'm here to help. Since I was stuck being bored for this long…>

Their meeting was rough, but Geochin quickly adapted to the situation. He somewhat managed to confirm that what the Murim Lord spoke of was mostly true through his original memory. Most importantly…

'It's still possible!'

Geochin was seething with rage and hatred that part of him didn't care if the so-called Murim Lord was tricking him. Being offered the chance to obtain strength under the peak powerhouse's guidance wasn't something that he could resist when he had so many goals that he wanted to make into a reality!

<Your body is seriously messed up…>

However, even the Murim Lord was perplexed once he scanned Geochin's body. His body's state was hard to explain, he was simply the extreme opposite of a genius! His energy channels were twisted and misaligned while the cohesion of his muscles was slightly better than that of a newborn baby…

<Haaaaa… We will just have to deal with what we have.>

Anything rather than being stuck was already a great upgrade. Since he took it upon himself to oversee this unfortunate descendant's growth to the peak, he was going to do it even if it took a little bit longer!

After struggling to climb out of the gorge, Geochin followed Namgung Geom's directions to obtain one of his hidden stashes. No matter how much of a waste Geochin was, he still had one absolute advantage, he had the Murim Lord in his head!

He didn't have an elder to help him with Energy Channel Clearing, but his great-great grandfather could take control of his body if he allowed him to! Splurging the pills and Elixirs that he obtained was enough to support Namgung Geom in forcefully achieving a perfect clearance!

<What did I tell you?>

Even as someone who started late, Geochin's Martial Art journey wasn't necessarily slow. Despite all of the obstacles, he still managed to become a 2nd rate Martial Artist by the time the advanced Sword Conference was announced.

Since getting to win the 1st rate competition was necessary for him, Geochin had to rely on the rite of ascension to make up for his lacking level. However, he wasn't simply clutching at whatever chance he had, he was confident in his ability to use Namgung Geumryong as a stepping stone.

'It's time for payback.'

Once he met the hypocrite's wretched smile, Geochin's eyes shone. This wasn't just about advancing to the next round anymore, he wanted to show that sadistic trash what it was like to be on the receiving end for once!

'Again.'

The only sword path that his wrecked body could practice was extreme speed. However, it also just happened that it was the one that the Murim Lord was most proficient in. By relinquishing a part of his control, Geochin possessed the ability to exhibit skill beyond the young generation's level!

"You…"

In response to Namgung Geumryong's retreat, Geochin was the one to flash in front of him this time. Regardless of how unresponsive his body was, controlling it to cross the barrier of talent was nothing but a child's play for the one and only Murim Lord!

"This is just the beginning."

Thud!

As Geochin's sword flashed once more, an arm suddenly fell to the ground…
