TRASH-TIER SWORDSMAN

Corin Ashby expected a low rank.

He didn't expect TrashTier.

In a world where combat rankings determine everything, a Trash-Tier Swordsman is considered worse than useless. Guilds reject him. Warriors mock him. Even his own family treats him like a disappointment.

Then an eccentric old tea seller witnesses Corin's humiliation and offers him something;

A chance to learn a forgotten sword style erased from history.

While other swordsmen chase power, flashy skills, and higher ranks, Corin discovers a path built on observation, patience, and mastery. The more he learns, the more he realizes the ranking system may be hiding a dangerous secret.
