D

The General

무장

During the military regime of Goryeo, a time when soldiers and their commanders held power over the court and birth decided a person's place in the world, one man begins his life at the very bottom of that order: as a slave.

Nothing in the society around him leaves room to move between stations. The military men who hold the country guard their rank closely, and a slave who aims to rise as far as the rank of general is a danger to the arrangement that keeps them in power. Even so, he takes the only path he can see, the long one leading up from servitude.

What follows is a climb against a hierarchy that punishes ambition, advanced step by step through a kingdom where loyalty, violence and status are tangled together, and where every gain has to be paid for.
