I've had this idea in my head for a long time and finally decided to write it out. The main reason I started this story is because I couldn't find any self-insert or transmigration stories focused on Kong Deming from Douluo Dalu (especially the Sun Moon Empire era).
So yeah—this story exists because I wanted to read it and couldn't find it.
This is my first fanfic and first story ever, so the writing won't be perfect. I'm learning as I go. I write the plot, scenes, and ideas myself, but I use AI tools to help polish grammar, wording, and flow. Think of it like a spellchecker + editor—not a ghostwriter. The story, direction, and choices are still mine.
A few things to set expectations:
This is an AU (alternate universe). Some lore, timelines, and character details may differ from canon.
Power progression will be strong, but I'll try to keep it reasonable and earned.
There will be crossover elements (including Bleach), so don't expect 100% canon logic.
This is written for fun first. If you're here for strict canon purity, this might not be your cup of tea.
Thanks for giving my first story a chance. Constructive feedback is always welcome, and I hope you enjoy the ride.
