“Yorick, your sister’s gone crazy! She keeps talking about the nation and world domination or something. I think she’s joined some kind of cult and ran away from home! Now there’s one less income for the family- you need to earn more money!”

Yorick’s mother’s voice echoed through the phone as he stood near the martial arts arena.

Her words grated on his nerves.

As the eldest son, with his father gone, tradition dictated that he should shoulder the family’s burdens. But he was young, brimming with talent and ambition, yearning for a grand stage to prove himself. Being tied down by family affairs–worrying about siblings he’d barely seen–felt like shackles, and he couldn’t help but resent the thought of living such a humble, constrained life.

Still, he replied, “Got it.”

Only after stepping into the arena did he hear the murmurs of the surrounding crowd.

“Hey, did you hear? The tournament’s sponsor promised to marry his daughter to whoever wins the Zovince Grand Martial Tournament!”

“Haha! Mr. Tanner’s daughters are the most stunning beauties in all of Zovince! Especially the elder one— ah, just thinking about her… My, oh, my…”

Hearing the men’s chatter and seeing the gleam in their eyes, Yorick–still in his prime–couldn’t help but wonder just how breathtaking the girl must be.

Raised in a rural village and now striving to make a name for himself in the city, Yorick was at an age where marriage was on his mind. But what he didn’t expect was that the man he would face in the finals… was Santiago.

Back then, the tournament arena was far simpler–a vast open square surrounded by three- and four–story buildings. Thousands of spectators sat shoulder to shoulder on rows of wooden benches, their faces flushed with excitement as they cheered for their chosen fighters.

As Yorick and Santiago stood face–to–face atop the arena, a window in the grandest building nearby slid
