In fifteenth-century China, an old man has solved the mystery of the Eighteen Demons of Gold, legendary figurines that hide great magic and contain “the secret arts of swordsmanship known only to the devil himself.” But, alas, the figurines are cursed, and they bring misfortune to the old man: he and all of his beloved disciples but one are slain for the Eighteen Demons of Gold by two ungrateful young men the old man took in years ago. The remaining disciple of the old man takes it upon himself to avenge the deaths of his master and the children who were his only family, and he will track down the murderers one by one, no matter where they may be.

This exciting example of Korean Manga is written and drawn by Sung-Nam Ha and translated by Franz Henkel.
