Xin is a burnout prodigy, living a solitary life as a hunter, until one day he sees his hometown levelled to the ground by a giant boar.

Wu Lei is a street urchin, persevering through a lifetime of pain and abuse, forced into a criminal syndicate at a very young age.

So different, yet so similar, they quickly form a bond, which will be tested over the decades to come.

This is a dark, slow-burning tale of resilience and transformation. In a world where grand narratives are forged, not given, and shortcuts are carved, not found, Xin and Lei embark on a relentless journey of martial arts, cultivation and friendship, with its beautiful ups and painful downs.

What to expect:
1. There are no cheat codes. The mcs are both talented individuals, yet they aren't the chosen ones. They don't belong to any prophecy or grand plot, and have to claw their way into relevance.

2. It's a psychological work at its core, and a coming of age story at that. The mcs evolve drastically, but naturally, and they will at times frustrate the audience. This is by design.

3. The cultivation system is very detailed and thought out, everything is explained gradually as to not overwhelm the reader. Please have patience, every single type of cultivation will be studied in-depth and explained. The plot is also not what it seems at first, and evolves much further than it seems at first.

4. This book is very edgy at times. I don't do things just to shock people, and I believe that every edgy piece of content I write has a reason behind it, but you have been warned.

5. I am an ESL author. This means that I'll mess up an article or two, and some of my phrasings will be a bit unusual. I am constantly reading English literature and working on improving my writing, and I certainly get better as the chapters go on, but keep this in mind. I'm also not a professional writer, so I can't afford to edit too much.

6. The narration style switching between first and third form is intentional, same for not using italics. It's not a quirk or a whim, but an experimental choice that will become very relevant in future chapters.

I have 131 chapters written currently, and will post them gradually. <<less

"I did not know how powerful a motivation pettiness could be until today."

The MC died as a rat cornered, passing in a violent fit. He will now embark on a new path in a new world. Step, by step, neither rushing, nor lazing, he will climb the mountains and enjoy the views along the way.

A system, but not an OP system, in fact it will be pretty minor. The story will be a mix of meta and classics. A cross between slice-of-life and adventure. It is simply a tale of a journey belonging to one offered a second chance.

I will not hold back on swearing, mature topics, adult concepts, gore and there is a possibility for sexual content in the future, but I will not go out of my way to force anything. <<less

After Wudang’s humiliating defeat in the war against Cheonma, the once-great sect stands as a shadow of its former self. Among its struggling disciples is Jiang Chen, a so-called third-rate martial artist abandoned by his master and mocked by his peers. Weighed down by failure and self-doubt, he resigns himself to mediocrity—until a fateful duel leaves him broken in both body and spirit.

Seeking solitude beneath an ancient ginkgo tree, Jiang Chen stumbles upon a mysterious letter bearing the handwriting of his vanished master. Within it lies a challenge: prove himself worthy, or walk away forever. As he grasps the remnants of a long-lost blade, an ancient power awakens, and with it, a voice that shakes the heavens—"So the time has finally come."

With his master’s past shrouded in mystery and a sect on the brink of collapse, Jiang Chen must uncover the truth, defy his limits, and wield a broken sword to carve his own destiny. But in a world where strength dictates fate, can an abandoned disciple rise against the tides of fate?

A tale of martial arts, redemption, the unyielding flow of destiny and all with a game based system begins. <<less
