Shattered Rings
On the Brahma Continent, power comes from Blood Rings the manifestation of cultivation that separates gods from livestock.
Surya has none. Worse, he's human. A race so weak, so forgotten, that most people don't even know they exist.
Captured. Caged. Sold to Rakshasa nobles as meat for their banquet, he should have died in chains like the others. But fever brought something impossible: memories of two lifetimes he never lived. A pharmaceutical empire on Earth. Advanced research in an alien civilization. Knowledge that shouldn't exist but might be the only reason he's still breathing.
When an old man with shattered cultivation rings sacrifices everything to give him one chance at freedom, Surya learns the truth: the Blood Ring system isn't divine. It's designed. Controlled. And someone doesn't want the secrets getting out.
Armed with scientific knowledge from two lifetimes and the teachings of a broken blacksmith, Surya must survive in a world that sees him as prey. But some chains are meant to be broken.
And some rings can be shattered twice.
