Lucius Blackthorn was a nobody — a jaded man working a dead-end job, drowning in monotony and buried dreams. But when a freak accident tears through the veil of reality, he awakens not in a hospital... but in the body of a young heir in another world.
Reborn into the prestigious and feared Blackthorn Family, rulers of a shadowy dominion steeped in ancient secrets and darker ambitions, Lucius must now survive the treacherous world of cultivation — where strength is law, and bloodlines are both a blessing and a curse.
Armed with memories from Earth and a mysterious power that awakens deep within him — one that whispers secrets no one else can hear — Lucius begins his ascent. But in this realm of spirit beasts, immortal clans, and forbidden techniques, knowledge alone isn’t enough.
To rise, he must embrace the darkness, wield power no mortal was meant to touch, and forge his destiny with blood and obsidian.
Because in this world, weakness is death.
And Lucius Blackthorn didn’t come here to die.
He came to conquer.
