I Swung the Slowest Sword and Took Nothing

Synopsis

Abandoned as an infant and dragged into a fox den, Dylan grew up eating scorpions, drinking cactus water, and speaking no human language at all. A calm stranger in the empty sand taps his forehead and shows him what has been chained to his ribs since birth: a spirit blade taller than a wall, heavy as a hill, and so slow that any swordsman alive could kill him twice before it lands. He learns to make the flaw a trap. Then a caravan with no drivers rolls into the city, spilling a mist that swallows sound, and a man with a spirit chain sends word that he wants the blade.
