Naked war
“If Heaven demands that I kneel, then let Heaven descend and make me.”
Lican was born in flames, in a world where strength determined who lived and who died, and where weakness was nothing more than an invitation to be crushed.
At thirteen, he knew nothing about cultivation, destiny, or the world beyond the place he had been imprisoned, yet when he finally escaped, he found himself thrown into a wilderness filled with beasts, hunters, bloodshed, and dangers far beyond anything he had ever known.
With only his father's teachings, a strange jade hairpin, and a mysterious cultivation manual left behind for him, Lican begins to walk a path unlike that of ordinary cultivators. He has no dantian, no powerful clan behind him, and no master waiting to guide his steps. Instead, his body, soul, blood, and even the world around him become part of a path he must uncover for himself.
But as Lican grows stronger and begins to understand the strange power he carries, he slowly discovers that his survival was never part of the fate written for him.
He was supposed to die.
His existence itself stands against a destiny that had already decided his ending, and the further he walks down this path, the more he begins to question who truly has the right to decide how his story should end.
If Heaven has already chosen his fate, then Lican will have to choose whether to accept it, or fight the very heavens that wrote it.
