Plot of The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons

Lee Cheol was born as an illegitimate child in the prestigious Esteemed Martial Lee Clan, the strongest martial family in South Korea. Despite his bloodline, he was cast aside and mistreated because of his status. Betrayed and ultimately killed due to the clan’s internal schemes, Lee Cheol was granted a second chance at life through regression.
With his newfound ability to absorb the memories of weapons, Lee Cheol began to carve out a new path for himself. Each weapon he wields grants him knowledge and techniques from its previous owners, allowing him to adapt and grow stronger rapidly. However, his rise within the clan has sparked jealousy and hostility from the legitimate heirs, putting him at constant risk.
In Chapter 22, Lee Cheol will face a critical challenge as tensions within the clan escalate. A powerful enemy from within the family will attempt to sabotage him during a major martial arts gathering. Lee’s ability to strategically harness the memories of a legendary weapon will be key to his survival. The chapter is expected to reveal more about the clan’s hidden history and Lee Cheol’s mysterious past life.
