Lore

The Breaker series is set in a modern-day world where martial arts clans exist secretly and wield great power and influence. The clans are divided into two factions: the Murim Alliance, which seeks to maintain peace and order among the clans; and the S.U.C., which seeks to overthrow the Alliance and create chaos. The main characters are involved in various battles and intrigues involving these factions, as well as other enemies and allies.

Plot

The Breaker 3: Eternal Force begins with Ha-Jae’s attempted suicide on the rooftop of his school. He is pushed off by Chun-Woo, who reveals himself to be a powerful martial artist known as Nine Arts Dragon. Chun-Woo decides to take Ha-Jae as his disciple and teach him martial arts. Ha-Jae soon discovers that Chun-Woo is wanted by both the Murim Alliance and the S.U.C., as he holds a secret that could change the balance of power in the martial world. Ha-Jae also meets other characters who help or hinder him along his journey, such as Sera Kang, a beautiful swordswoman; Jin-Le Kwon, a ruthless assassin; Sosul Jang, a mysterious girl with healing powers; Ji-Gum Yoo, a genius hacker; Gym-Bum Yi, an old friend of Chun-Woo; Ha-ill Gang, a loyal ally of Chun-Woo; Mun-Gi Man, an ambitious politician; and Tae-shin Lee, a legendary master.
