Circa 300 CE – Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla (Ancient Korea)
War had scarred the peninsula. Kingdoms clashed, tribes vanished.
Marcus arrived from the sea, helping farmers during a famine with strange tools and deeper knowledge of wind patterns. Word spread of a man who called rain and glowed under the full moon.
He stood beside warrior queens, saved a young scholar from assassination, and taught swordmasters to move like shadows and hit like thunder.
In Goguryeo, he was mistaken for Dangun, the ancient founder. In Silla, monks believed he was a reincarnated dragon. In Baekje, children carved his symbol on lanterns for good luck.
One night, he sat by a campfire with soldiers and told a story—about humanity surviving extinction because someone always cares enough to try.
They listened in silence.
> "What are you?" one asked.
Marcus only smiled. "The one who won't look away."

He's becoming a legend not just of power, but of presence—like a mythological bridge between cultures.
