Emperor of Steel follows Seymon, the former Demon King, who was betrayed and slain by the hero Lakan under false accusations. Five hundred years later, Seymon awakens in a new body, discovering that he is now a descendant of the very man who killed him. Haunted by the memories of his past and the weight of his new bloodline, Seymon sets out to uncover the truth behind his betrayal and reclaim his lost power. However, as his black magic begins to resurface, Seymon faces a growing conflict between the legacy of his past and the responsibilities of his new life.
In Chapter 33, Seymon demonstrated his growing strength by effortlessly defeating a group of skilled knights, shocking the ruling factions. His mastery of black magic has drawn suspicion from powerful figures who fear the return of the Demon King’s influence. Chapter 34 is expected to explore Seymon’s inner conflict as he uncovers more about Lakan’s true motives and his own place within the fractured kingdom.
Plot of Emperor of Steel

Seymon was once feared across the land as the supreme ruler of black magic. Despite his immense power, he was betrayed and killed by the hero Lakan, who accused him of bringing chaos to the world. Seymon’s death marked the end of an era — or so it seemed.
Five hundred years later, Seymon awakens in the body of a young noble named Seymon Lakan, a direct descendant of the hero who betrayed him. Struggling to reconcile his past identity with his new lineage, Seymon sets out to discover the truth behind his death and Lakan’s motives. His awakening of black magic in his new body raises alarm among the kingdom’s elite, who view his existence as a threat. As Seymon confronts his past and the expectations tied to his new bloodline, he must decide whether to embrace the darkness within or forge a new path.
In Chapter 33, Seymon’s decisive victory over a group of knights confirmed that his dark powers are beginning to return. Chapter 34 is likely to reveal more about Seymon’s connection to Lakan’s legacy and introduce a new faction seeking to control his powers for their own gain.
