*The Executioner* explores the morally complex journey of Gangyu, a hero who struggles with the ethical implications of violence as he seeks justice.
The series paints a poignant portrait of a man torn between his desire for vengeance and his sense of right, after a villain convicted of unspeakable crimes kills his brother.
As the story unfolds, Gangyu’s transformation from a principled hero to a merciless executioner is chronicled within the harsh confines of Ruculus prison, where he’s authorized to eliminate the world’s deadliest criminals.
The manhwa explores the toll that revenge takes on the human soul, challenging Gangyu’s perception of justice and forcing him to confront the darker side of his ideals.
In Chapter 38, we can expect to see further developments in Gangyu’s single-minded pursuit of vengeance. Each battle he faces in Ruculus strips away more of the hero he once was, revealing a man who is willing to go to any lengths to exact justice.
With its intricate themes and raw action, The Executioner draws readers into a harsh world where justice and revenge constantly clash, and the line between hero and villain becomes increasingly blurred.
