The Absolute Martial Deity of the Fallen Family

Chapter 2. Creating a True Martial World in This World

“Cough! Cough!”

With a rough cough, his vision gradually cleared.

As he spat out phlegm and got up, he felt chills all over his body.

“Am I… alive?”

He couldn’t understand.

He should have died in the Abyss of Nothingness, so why was he alive and well?

“I’m not in perfect condition, but…”

His arms and legs hurt, and he felt like his stomach was turning upside down.

Especially, he felt a chill all over his body.

“Who performed sorcery on my body in a state of death?”

As he urgently began to examine his body internally, he realized one fact.

His body, once solidly built from long training, had become frail and weak like a newborn.

“Why is my body…”

At that moment.

His head suddenly started to ache as if it would explode.

“Argh…!”

Information, information, information flooding into his mind!

Information encompassing a person’s entire life inundated his mind.

If he relaxed even a bit, it felt like he wouldn’t be able to withstand the flood of information and his head would burst.

“I, I am…”

A language he had never spoken before flowed effortlessly from his lips.

He began to gradually understand what was happening.

“Am I… reborn in another world?”

That was the moment.

“You’ve awakened.”

In the midst of sorting out thoughts about unimaginable events, a woman’s voice reached me.

A woman with long silver hair, exuding an exotic aura.

She gazed at me with a face that seemed more fitting for a girl than a woman.

It must have been our first meeting, yet memories of her lingered in my mind.

“It’s regrettable that such a thing happened from the first night, but I’m glad you woke up safely.”

“Yustia…?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The woman with silver hair spoke in a calm voice.

“Your wife who had the wedding today… Yustia Rigel.”

Upon hearing those words, a headache struck me.

I recalled facing death due to a mistaken marriage.

But… I was already married?

“Don’t worry. Everyone in the Rigel family knows about it.”

“…!”

Memories surfaced in my mind on their own.

Who I was, the current situation, started to become clear.

“Even if you collapsed after a few drinks at the feast, everyone will understand.”

The youngest son-in-law of the Rigel family, one of the five great noble families on the continent, Sirius Canisroot.

That was the name of the revived celestial being Baekmulang.

***

“He truly is a fragile person.”

Gazing at the ‘husband’ in front of her, Yustia Rigel, the third daughter of the Rigel family, sighed inwardly.

She knew Sirius was a fragile man, but she hadn’t expected it to be this severe.

“Did I choose the wrong husband?”

Yustia didn’t marry Sirius out of love.

She chose Sirius because he seemed to be the least harmful among the candidates for a husband.

The men who had come for marriage talks had many issues.

Especially those who clearly aimed to swallow up the Rigel family through marriage.

Despite the weakened state of the Rigel family, their status as one of the five great noble families still held value.

So Yustia chose Sirius.

The frail youngest son of the Canisroot family, who had spent his life confined to studying, was her choice.

“But there’s no turning back now. The wedding has already taken place.”

The only fortunate thing was that marrying didn’t drastically change her life so far.

Because Sirius had come to the Rigel family as a son-in-law.

So, from now on, she would maintain a formal marital relationship with Sirius, at the very least…

“Oh, wait a moment.”

Right at that moment.

One thought crossed Yustia’s mind.

“Can I go through with the first night with this man?”

Cold sweat ran down his back.

Pushing himself with that frail body, if something were to happen…

“….?”

But Sirius seemed strange.

He was lost in deep thought with his arms crossed.

Without even glancing at the priest in front of him.

“Sirius?”

“Yustia.”

Suddenly, Sirius jumped up.

And began to put on his coat.

“I’ll go get some fresh air.”

“What?”

“Just that.”

Sirius turned his gaze towards Yustia.

Their eyes met, and Yustia was taken aback.

It was because Sirius’ gaze was completely different from his usual vacant and listless look… It was a clear, sharp gaze.

“You should sleep first.”

Leaving those words behind, Sirius swiftly left the bedroom.

Without looking back, leaving the bride behind.

“What…?”

The wedding night.

Yustia Rigel was left alone in the bridal chamber.

* * *

Cheonlangmooje Baekmuran… No, Sirius Canisrute remained composed.

He was a warrior who never wavered, even after experiencing all sorts of events in the martial world.

That’s why he didn’t panic or rush around saying, “How can this be!” even after experiencing such a bizarre event.

Sirius prioritized understanding the situation correctly.

‘This is neither a dream nor an illusion.’

Having experienced it several times in battles with the Thousand Demons Sect, he could recognize if someone was showing an illusion.

Just by feeling the vivid sensations all over his body, it was clear that this was reality.

‘I have been reborn in another world.’

Cheonlangmooje Baekmuran died under a conspiracy of the Western Sect.

Preserving those memories, he was reborn as the young man Sirius Canisrute in a different world.

‘I may not know why this happened… but I have to accept it.’

Honestly, it was a ridiculous situation.

Having vowed to build a proper martial world when he was reborn.

But he had landed in a world where the martial world itself did not exist.

However… there was no need to lament or be lost in despair over fate.

‘Even in a world without the martial world, I can create an organization like the martial world.’

Recalling Sirius’s memories, one could understand.

Even in this world, many prestigious families are establishing their own powers and struggling.

Outlaws like the dark ones of the martial world also harm people.

But they say there is no significant organization to correct such a world.

In that case… wouldn’t it be creating a new martial arts alliance in this world?

Of course, the name would have to be changed.

“If I create a new martial arts alliance in this world… there won’t be a repeat of my past life.”

Cheonlangmujeh Baekmulang lived a flawed life.

Though Baekmulang ascended to the position of martial arts leader, he couldn’t reform the inner workings of the martial arts alliance.

Caught up in battles against the Cheonmasingyo, Heuksaryeon, and bloody fights as the martial arts leader, while his mind was preoccupied, the martial arts alliance controlled by Seomunsega was rotting to the core.

Ultimately, Baekmulang lost his life due to Seomunsega’s betrayal.

Such a thing must not happen again.

“With me in control, I will create a true martial arts alliance in this world.”

I won’t hand over the reins to anyone.

By correcting all that is wrong, I will gather capable individuals to create a new force.

In this life, I will create… a true martial arts alliance that I couldn’t in my past life.

That was Sirius Canisroot’s goal.

“To achieve that, utilizing the Regal family would be the best course.”

As Baekmulang was also Seomunsega’s grandson, he could ascend to the position of martial arts leader.

For Sirius, a scholar from a remote family, to establish an organization like the martial arts alliance and gain recognition in the world, it would be easier to utilize the reputation of the Regal family, one of the five great families of the continent.

The five great families of the continent are the most prestigious families with a long history, known and respected wherever they go.

The issue is that the Regal family is currently in a very weakened state.

When the current head, Lutvein Regal, inherited the family, the Regal family was in such a state of decline that it was being overshadowed by small surrounding families.

“Thus, I must revive and restore the Regal family. In the process, I will seize control of the Regal family.”

Come to think of it, Baekmulang should have done the same.

As the successor of the previous head, he should have corrected Seomunsega and taken the lead.

While he was stepping back out of respect for Seomunhwan, the inner workings of Seomunsega completely deteriorated.

In this life, he had no intention of doing so.

While rebuilding the fallen Regal family, he must take control of the entire family.

The reborn Regal family will be the cornerstone for Sirius to create a new martial arts alliance.

“To do so… I must quickly regain my strength.”

Sirius had a very weak body.

The Canisroot family had been a household dedicated to scholarly research in the remote regions for generations.

Having spent a lifetime indoors reading books, Sirius’s body was frail.

The difference between Sirius’s physique and the well-trained body of Cheonlangmujeh Baekmulang, who had rigorously trained for decades, was like heaven and earth.

But there was no need for disappointment.

Although weak, Sirius’s body was young.

Being only twenty-five, he was much younger than Baekmulang.

“With such a young body, reaching a higher level than in my past life is also possible.”

Cheonrangmuje Baekmulang is a martial artist who has reached the profound state of Hyeongyeong by understanding the deep essence of martial arts.

Just reaching that level made it difficult for enemies to find him in the wilderness, but Baekmulang always wanted to reach even higher realms.

The highest state, only spoken of as a legend in the martial world… the state of Shinhwagyeong (神化境).

Utilizing Sirius’s youth, it might be possible to surpass the Hyeongyeong and reach the state of Shinhwagyeong.

“Especially in this world, there exists a special power called magic. It might be possible to gain new insights from there.”

According to Sirius’s memory, in this world, there was no martial arts but instead a power called magic.

It seemed to have a different system than martial arts, but it seemed like it could help in reaching new realms.

“As I create a true martial world in this world, I will also reach a new state myself.”

So, the ultimate goal could be considered as two things.

Creating a true martial world in this world.

As a martial artist, gaining new insights and reaching the state of Shinhwagyeong.

These two were the goals to pursue in the future.

“So… I need to regain my strength quickly.”

If Cheonrangmuje Baekmulang does not regain his strength, Sirius will just be a weak scholar with no power at all.

To start anew in this new world, it is necessary to regain strength quickly.

“But first, I need to take care of this frail body.”

Sirius needed to take care of his frail body.

He had already thought about how to go about it.

Tonight, he would focus solely on that.

“Come to think of it…”

He remembered leaving Yustia alone in the bedroom.

Leaving the bride alone on their wedding night and running outside, wasn’t that a bit rude?

“No, it’s probably just unnecessary worry.”

According to Sirius’s memory, the two of them were not a couple bound by affection.

It was merely a strategic marriage arranged considering various factors.

“From the start, Yustia seemed to think poorly of Sirius.”

He recalled Yustia’s cold gaze directed at him.

From Yustia’s perspective, it might even be a relief if her husband did not bother her.

“Sirius also didn’t seem to have any particular fondness for Yustia.”

To be honest, even now, Sirius had no interest in Yustia.

It’s not that Yustia lacks charm as a woman.

It’s just that she is too young.

Yustia’s current age is twenty.

From the perspective of Cheonrangmuje Baekmulang, she is too young.

“Maintaining a formal marriage relationship is best for both of us.”

According to Sirius’s memory… they once discussed getting married but living their lives without interfering with each other.

If they agreed on that, it’s best to respect it as much as possible.

“Above all, married life is now tiresome.”

Baekmulang died due to the martial arts poison his wife fed him.

Thinking of that incident made him abhor the idea of forming a bond with someone as a couple.

However, Sirius was already married to Yustia.

There was no way to undo that.

So, they just needed to maintain a formal marital relationship.

Yustia also wanted that.

“Then tonight… should I start by fixing this feeble body?”

As the first step to restoring Baekmu’s martial arts.

Tonight, Sirius would embark on the divine art of Cheonlangmuje.
