I Swallowed the Heavenly Demon

Summary of I Swallowed the Heavenly Demon Manhwa

Min Jae-ha sighed as he adjusted his hard hat, the dim light from his headlamp flickering across the jagged walls of the mineral dungeon. The air was heavy with the metallic tang of ore, and faint echoes of dripping water reverberated through the cavern.

“Just another day in the glamorous world of That’s Real Company,” he muttered, stepping over loose rocks and debris. His job, while steady, wasn’t exactly the heroic destiny he’d dreamed of as a kid. Instead of fighting monsters, he spent his days inspecting hazardous dungeons for mineral deposits and safety hazards.

At the heart of the cavern, his eyes fell on a strange sight—a glowing circle carved into the stone floor, its intricate symbols pulsating with an eerie blue light. He hesitated.

“Could it be… a summoning circle?” he whispered, heart racing. The circles were rare relics said to forge contracts between heroes and the spirits of legendary warriors.

He stepped closer, the glow intensifying as if reacting to his presence. Before he could reconsider, the ground beneath his feet shifted, and he was enveloped in a blinding light. A rush of wind tore through the cavern, and Min Jae-ha felt his body lift, weightless.

When the light faded, he found himself lying on the ground, the summoning circle now dark. A sharp pain pierced his abdomen, and he clutched his stomach.

“What the hell…” he groaned, sitting up.

A voice, deep and regal, boomed from within him. “Finally! A host worthy of my presence!”

Min Jae-ha froze. “Who—who said that?”

“Me, of course,” the voice replied, exasperated. “Do you not feel my presence? I am alive within you, you insolent mortal!”

Panic set in. “Wait… Are you inside my belly?!”

“Yes, well, it wasn’t exactly my choice!” the voice thundered. “The summoning ritual appears to have gone… awry.”

Min Jae-ha’s head spun. He had studied heroic spirits and their manifestations—shields, swords, blessings, powers. Never once had anyone mentioned internal possession.

“What can you even do… inside there?” he asked, voice trembling.

The spirit let out a haughty laugh. “Foolish question! I am the legendary martial artist, Yeom Gwan-sik. Look up to me, and I shall teach you the ways of combat!”

Min Jae-ha frowned. “Teach me? How am I supposed to learn martial arts from a guy who’s… lodged in my stomach?”

“Do not underestimate my methods, boy!” Yeom Gwan-sik roared. “With me, you shall rise above all heroes and reclaim your destiny!”

Min Jae-ha groaned, his dreams of a quiet, monster-free life crumbling. “Why me?”

But even as despair set in, a flicker of hope ignited within him. Perhaps, just perhaps, this bizarre twist of fate was the second chance he’d been waiting for.

And so, the unlikely partnership between an unassuming office worker and a heroic spirit trapped in his belly began—a journey destined to shake the foundations of the world.
