[[folder:Yuseong Dan]]
!!Yuseong Dan

TheProtagonist. Originally a lowly captain in the reserve troops of the Just Faction in Murim. After dying in the final battle against the demon Cheon Ma, Yuesong Dan is reincarnated into his younger body. Only now he can see [[StatOVision a mysterious floating window with words.]]

* TheAce: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. He admits that he has no talent except for [[{{Determinator}} sheer perseverance]] and complains about the swift growth of other prodigies. Yet, his daily spartan training is the reason he regularly outperforms his more talented peers. Gihu Jang and Soso Cheon admit that Dan is much stronger than them. Chorang Yong is obsessed with defeating him. Namgoong Geum [[DefeatMeansRespect quietly respects]] Dan after the latter defeated him in an all-out duel. The fifth and the seventh Murim Alliance Leaders appreciate Dan's ability and conviction and keep an eye on his growth.

* KarmicJackpot: Dan had many regrets during his first life, such as not being able to join the Cheonbeong Academy or the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. As an ordinary soldier, he could only watch legends like Jang Gihu, Cheon Soso, Yong Chorang, or Namgoong Geum from afar. He especially resented Yong Chorang for stealing his wife and dumping her. In the current timeline, although Dan has to endure TrainingFromHell every day, he is handsomely rewarded for his efforts. He quickly becomes rich beyond imagination after selling precious stones to the mistress of the Thousand-Scents Brothel. He becomes regarded as a great martial master on par with [[TheAce Namgoong Geum and Yong Chorang]] (and that's after defeating both of them on seperate occasions). His leadership and exploits in thwarting the Japanese Pirate Trio's invasion of Zhejiang win him the unwavering trust of all his allies. Cheon Soso, the prettiest and most talented girl at the Murim University, falls for Dan Yuseong. He also becomes the sole practitioner of three of the four legendary and long-lost martial arts, whose records cannot be found in the central plains.

* TheRival: Is one to Gihu Jang, Chorang Yong, and Geum Namgung.

* ShipTease: With Cheon Soso. They're all but an OfficialCouple after Dan wins the Matchmaking Sparring against Namgoong Geum. He gifts her one of the pair of lovebird rings he acquired as a reward after winning the Matchmaking Sparring, subtly indicating that they are engaged. Soso teases Dan that she wants to become the WorldsBestWarrior so that Dan can become her househusband.
* StatOVision: When Dan passes the entrance exam he originally failed, he is offered the choice of different rewards ranging from a CoolSword to a special medicine that will boost his Gi permanently. However, thanks to Gihu Jang knocking him off-balance when selecting his reward, he accidentally selects the 'Third Eye' ability, which grants him this. It allows him to see people's true names, level of strength relative to him, and as he further levels it up, their strength, agility, and Gi capacity. Despite not directly aiding Dan's physical performance, it proves to be arguably the most useful ability [[MagikarpPower once he's able to start leveling it up with repeated use]]. For instance, it allows him to identify the locations and numbers of a large gang of hidden bandits waiting to ambush him during a caravan protection job, even if he can't yet discern their precise stats and names, and forward his allies in time. Another time he meets with a bunch of high-level illusion-proficient Murim warriors, he can tell they're nearby even if he can't see anything about them by the '--' displays hanging in the fog.

* FriendlyRivalry: Has this with Yuesong Dan.

[[folder:Cheon Soso]]
!!Cheon Soso
The daughter of Cheonbeong Academy's principal, Cheon Taegong.

* BrokenBird: In the previous timeline, Cheon Soso grew up to become the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman and was famous for her exceptional skill in martial arts. However, her father refused to acknowledge her and only cared about getting her married into one of the most prominent groups in the Murim. Due to a series of unfortunate events, Cheon Soso married Bukli Gyeonghon, the head of the Forces of Evil. Cheon Soso's growing resentment turned into malice and she became the most notorious villainess in the Murim. In the second timeline, one of Dan's goals is to prevent Soso's marriage at any cost.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Downplayed. Cheon Soso isn't too pleased when Dan Yuseong goes to an island, alone with a beautiful girl like Cho Ryohe. Of course, Dan remains faithful to Soso and only needed Cho Ryohe's help in locating the Blaze Emperor's Grand Flame Art.

* ShipTease: With Yuseong Dan. He is forced to participate in the match-making spar for Soso and ends up winning after defeating the strongest contender, Namgoong Geum. Afterward, he goes out on a date with Soso who subtly expresses her feelings for him. Later, Cheon Soso wears one of the Lovebird rings she received from Dan, who wears the other ring. It is all but stated that they are betrothed to each other.
-->'''Cheon Soso''' (to Dan): Stop nitpicking and take care of yourself. Because I'll make you [[{{Househusband}} stay at home washing dishes and taking care of the kids later.]]

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Is the HeadTurningBeauty of Murim University. She is described as such by Cheon Gija.

[[folder:Dan Yuseong]]
!!Dan Yuseong

TheProtagonist. Originally a lowly captain in the reserve troops of the Just Faction in Murim. After dying in the final battle against the demon Cheon Ma, Dan is later reincarnated into his younger body. Only now he can see [[StatOVision a mysterious floating window with words.]]

Yet, his daily spartan training is the reason he regularly outperforms his more talented peers. Gihu Jang and Soso Cheon admit that Yuseong is much stronger than them. Chorang Yong is obsessed with defeating him. Namgoong Geum [[DefeatMeansRespect quietly respects]] Yuseong after the latter defeated him in an all-out duel. The fifth and the seventh Murim Alliance Leaders appreciate Yuseong's ability and conviction and keep an eye on his growth.

* BadassBookworm: Invoked by Yuseong who joined the eighth division in his quest for the Yin Yang Breathing Technique. After discovering that reading books can improve his stats, Yuseong becomes with reading as many books as he can on the 10th floor. Although he isn't as erudite as Gi Daemong, Yuseong is certainly more knowledgeable than he used to be. On Jin Hon's recommendation, he joins the elite first division after failing the exams for the eighth division. Although by then, Yuseong has already inherited the Yin Yang Breathing Technique from its creator, the Yin Yang Sage.
* BeyondTheImpossible: It is revealed by the Murim Alliance Leader Jaegal Chong that Yuseong's body is highly unsuitable for practicing martial arts, and it cannot store Qi properly due to the poor quality of his meridians. Even if he managed to live for 200-300 years, he can achieve the rank of only a Peak Master. Yet, Yuseong was able to defeat Chorang Yong, TheAce of Mount Hua, rank 1st in the Dragon and Phoenix Exam, and defeat the strongest person of the younger generation, Namgoong Geum of all people. All these feats impressed the Murim Alliance Leader so much that at one point, he considered taking Yuseong as his son-in-law!
* BowAndSwordInAccord: {{Justified}}, despite the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy rules of the Murim]] looking down upon the usage of trigger-based weaponry in a fight. Yuseong eventually takes to holding a bow in one hand and a sword in the other, despite the bow needing both hands to be used and being useless without arrows in a close-range fight. The reason for this is that the system encourages Yuseong to become a MultiMeleeMaster, granting him different stat boosts and abilities based on the weapons he's holding and how proficient with them he is. Bows increase his accuracy stat, which not only applies to projectile weapons but also his close-range attacks -- Yuseong's sword swings undergo BizarreAndImprobableBallistics in order to connect with their targets, meaning that a seemingly-missed sword swing's trajectory will [[AlwaysAccurateAttack improbably alter in order to hit his opponent]], taking them off-guard and allowing him further apply his ConfusionFu fighting techniques.
* DualWielding: Yuseong's preferred fighting style, even though the majority of the Murim University disproves of it. He usually uses a combination of a Sword and an Axe.

* FriendlyRivalry: Has one with Gihu Jang. The two have the most fun when they are fighting against each other, and are incredibly motivated to surpass the other. Yuseong even thinks of him as his battle buddy.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Successfully beating Chorang Yong, even [[GroinAttack on a technicality]], unlocks access to the 'inventory' system for Yuseong, which takes the form of a BlankWhiteVoid for him. Items he stores within it apparently can exist without taking a physical toll upon him, allowing him to store a vast amount of weaponry and even carry away a large amount of valuable jade bigger than him when piled up, and he can even preserve food and alcohol in there, but Yuseong doesn't use it for combat purposes because doing so cuts off his sight and makes him lose track of his opponents. After Yuseong 'completes' his assigned mission to destroy the entirety of the Dark Serpent bandit clan (actually done on his behalf as a 'favor' by Gyeonghon Bukil, which the system still counts for him) Yuseong is granted access to a '[[BagOfHolding container bag]]' which allows him to store up to 5 different objects inside a similar hammerspace functionality. These objects can be bigger than the bag itself and can range from large rocks, his weapons, or [[{{Familiar}} Juju]], and as it only activates his selections via [[SuddenGameInterface small floating icons in front of him]], Yuseong can use it mid-battle to access his resources.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: This was true for Yuseong during his first life, as he bitterly laments to himself in his final moments, but the system seems designed almost specifically to avert this in his current one. The more effort he puts in, the stronger and more powerful he becomes, bit by bit, even by performing seemingly asinine tasks like 'performing a duck walk across the country'.
* KarmicJackpot: Yuseong had many regrets during his first life, such as not being able to join the Cheonbeong Academy or the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. As an ordinary soldier, he could only watch legends like Jang Gihu, Cheon Soso, Yong Chorang, or Namgoong Geum from afar. He especially resented Yong Chorang for stealing his wife and dumping her. In the current timeline, although Yuseong has to endure TrainingFromHell every day, he is handsomely rewarded for his efforts. He quickly becomes rich beyond imagination after selling precious stones to the mistress of the Thousand-Scents Brothel. He becomes regarded as a great martial master on par with [[TheAce Namgoong Geum and Yong Chorang]] (and that's after defeating both of them on seperate occasions). His leadership and exploits in thwarting the Japanese Pirate Trio's invasion of Zhejiang win him the unwavering trust of all his allies. Cheon Soso, the prettiest and most talented girl at the Murim University, falls for Dan Yuseong. He also becomes the sole practitioner of three of the four legendary and long-lost martial arts, whose records cannot be found in the central plains.
* MistakenForBadass: Yuseong's first encounter with Gyeonghon Bukli has the latter mistakenly assuming that Yuseong is really [[TheAce Chorang Yeong]] based on the fact that Yuseong used axes technique from the lawful faction of Murim to massacre the Dark Serpent clan, and he knows of no other prodigy in the area who could make him [[WorthyOpponent so excited for a fight]].
* MorphWeapon: After having the Jade of Disorder forged into a Sword and Axe, Yuseong is able to change the shape of his weapons after inserting his Qi into them.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Due to gaining different advantageous {{Status Buff}}s based on the number and type of weapons he wields in battle, the system encourages Yuseong to branch out into becoming this, despite the criticism of several teachers in the Murim University who feel that Yuseong will wind up wasting his potential and becoming a MasterOfNone by not focusing on a single style and mastering it to its peak. However, Yuseong inherits a legendary martial art that enables him to wield several weapons at once and requires him to [[MasterOfAll master every last weapon in the world]]. So far, Yuseong can use:

* SecretlyRich: Yuseong digs his way out of Wushan mountain, mining heaps of precious corundum in the process. He stores all of them in his {{Hammerspace}} belt. Selling these stones earns him enough wealth to last more than fifteen lifetimes. Yuseong is so rich that he is able to secretly sponsor the Murim Alliance Leader when the council of elders refuse to fund the reconstruction of the Million Books Library (which was burnt down on their orders no less).
* ShipTease: With Cheon Soso. They're all but an OfficialCouple after Yuseong wins the Matchmaking Sparring against Namgoong Geum. He gifts her one of the pair of lovebird rings he acquired as a reward after winning the Matchmaking Sparring, subtly indicating that they are engaged. Soso teases Yuseong that she wants to become the WorldsBestWarrior so that Yuseong can become her househusband.
* StatOVision: When Yuseong passes the entrance exam he originally failed, he is offered the choice of different rewards ranging from a CoolSword to a special medicine that will boost his Gi permanently.

Another time he meets with a bunch of high-level illusion-proficient Murim warriors, he can tell they're nearby even if he can't see anything about them by the '--' displays hanging in the fog.

* SuddenGameInterface: Yuseong gains this when he first returns to the day of the entrance exam for the martial arts academy, though he has no context for ''what'' it specifically is, being only able to describe it as 'a floating floor panel with words written on it'. It becomes a minor RunningGag that every time Yuseong is challenged with a task that he thinks is impossible or insane, or that he sarcastically thinks up based on the conversation, the same announcement panel will appear offering him a sincere challenge to do said task and be rewarded for it, or suffer a penalty, to Yuseong's frustration.
* TakeAThirdOption: Students of the Murim University are expected to support either the Nine Great Sects or the Five Great Clans. Yuseong instead chooses to support the Murim Alliance Leader, Jaegal Chong, and the two now work together to reform the Murim.
-->'''Yuseong Dan (to Jaegal Chong)''': Let's die together, then. For the sake of this rotten Murim.
* WorldsBestWarrior: This was Yuseong's original goal after reincarnating, but after a talk with Bongnam Geum, he resolves himself to be a sturdy shoulder for the world to rest its worries on.

* BestFriend: To Yuseong Dan and Soso Cheon.

* WorthyOpponent: He enjoys competing against his best friend, Yuseong, and admits that the latter is much stronger than him.

* BrokenBird: In the previous timeline, Cheon Soso grew up to become the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman and was famous for her exceptional skill in martial arts. However, her father refused to acknowledge her and only cared about getting her married into one of the most prominent groups in the Murim. Due to a series of unfortunate events, Cheon Soso married Bukli Gyeonghon, the head of the Forces of Evil. Cheon Soso's growing resentment turned into malice and she became the most notorious villainess in the Murim. In the second timeline, one of Yuseong's goals is to prevent Soso's marriage at any cost.
* BrokenTears: Starts sobbing uncontrollably after she loses the match-making spar to Namgoong Geum, meaning that she must marry him against her will. Worse, Namgoong Geum only viewed it as a means to lure out Yuseong Dan. Fortunately, Yuseong vanquishes Namgoong Geum in an all-out duel, breaking Soso's engagement.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Downplayed. Cheon Soso isn't too pleased when Dan Yuseong goes to an island, alone with a beautiful girl like Cho Ryohe. Of course, Yuseong remains faithful to Soso and only needed Cho Ryohe's help in locating the Blaze Emperor's Grand Flame Art.

Afterward, he goes out on a date with Soso who subtly expresses her feelings for him. Later, Cheon Soso wears one of the Lovebird rings she received from Yuseong, who wears the other ring. It is all but stated that they are betrothed to each other.
-->'''Cheon Soso''' (to Yuseong): Stop nitpicking and take care of yourself. Because I'll make you [[{{Househusband}} stay at home washing dishes and taking care of the kids later.]]
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: In the current timeline, Soso becomes increasingly infatuated with Yuseong because of his bravery and kindness, and ends up falling in love with him.
* ToBeAMaster: She chooses to become the disciple of Putou's Heavenly Nun, one of the best female martial artists of the generation. She declares her ambition to become the WorldsBestWarrior so that she can compete with her crush, Yuseong.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Falls for Soso, a redhead.

* {{Fangirl}}: Of Yuseong Dan. She openly admits his superior strength and starts blushing when she watches him push back [[TheAce Namgoong Geum]].
* ShipTease: With Yuseong Dan. He is forced to participate in the match-making spar for Soso and ends up winning after defeating the strongest contender, Namgoong Geum.

* KarmicJackpot: Yuseong had many regrets during his first life, such as not being able to join the Cheonbeong Academy or the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. As an ordinary soldier, he could only watch legends like Gihu Jang, Soso Cheon, Chorang Yong, or Namgoong Geum from afar. He especially resented Yong Chorang for stealing his wife and dumping her. In the current timeline, although Yuseong has to endure TrainingFromHell every day, he is handsomely rewarded for his efforts. Gihu admires him and strives to surpass him. Soso, the prettiest and the most talented girl of the younger generation admires Yuseong and slowly falls in love with him. Yong Chorang is obsessed with defeating Yuseong after the latter infamously crushed one of his testicles in a duel. Everyone fears Yuseong for defeating Namgoong Geum in an all-out duel. The Murim Alliance Leader Jaegal Chong considers him to be one of his greatest allies. Yuseong also has many treasures such as the rare Changwang jade, the [[TheGreatestStyle Ten Weapons Demon Technique]], the Yin Yang Breathing Technique, and the vast fortune he made from selling precious stones to the Thousand-scents brothel.
