Kale was a fantasy fanatic. His pass times included reading countless comics, novels, games and movies for hours; days unending. He loved thrill brought by immersing himself in a world populated by Dragons, God's, fairy races and many other fantasy creatures.

And nothing was more immersive than the NDMMO-RPG, FATE! Online. A massive multiplayer role-playing game that allowed him to experience most of his dreams by connecting directly to his neural network.

Sadly, if only things could end with him grinding for gear in this blissful virtual paradise, alas...

During an intense session conquering a hidden Sacred Ground, his Diving gear malfunctioned, frying Kale's brain.

When he wakes up, he finds himself in a cruel world where:

Powerful sects and organizations warred for 'Heavenly Treasures'. A world where you're always a 'frog at the bottom of a well' because it spans hundreds of Higher Realms that contain seemingly infinite masses of land and sea. Where you're slaughtered mercilessly if you look at some tyrant's concubine the wrong way.

A world ruled by qi.

When Kale realizes where he is, and comes to understanding with his situation. He's left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Why wasn't he sent to a fantasy world upon his death!

To make things more vexing, he's reborn into this new world with a System based off FATE! Online; a system based purely on ‘mana’.

This wouldn't have been so bad if mana actually existed naturally in this world! But it didn't. To attain mana, he has to absorb the purified qi in the dantians of cultivators, then further purify that into raw mana.

An absolute substance that can make his dreams come true.
