Two paths define the world: The Arcane and the Auric.Damon walks a third: The Mind. In the throes of tragedy, Damon stumbles upon an ancient inheritance thought to be extinct. In a world where Arcon rain fire and Auron shatter mountains, Damon becomes a Psion, learning to manipulate reality with a single thought. But a unique power is not a gift. It is a curse. Stepping out of his isolated village, Damon enters the vast cultivation world where strength is law and mercy is weakness. He quickly discovers that his secret abilities make him an anomaly and a target. To survive the ruthlessness, treachery, and betrayal running rampant in this cutthroat world, Damon must temper his mind into an invisible weapon. “Pain is the chisel. Will is the hammer. Mind is the stone.” What to expect: - 2k+ words per chapter (average around 2.5-2.6k) - Volume 1 complete! Volume 2 currently being released - One chapter per week on Sunday - A unique progression system combining Xianxia/cultivation with western high fantasy - An MC who has to struggle and work for every breakthrough (excluding his initial discovery), including pioneering his own path - A young but clever MC who grows smarter and more calculating over time - MC isn’t a pure and naive soul but neither is he completely cold and ruthless - Characters have emotions and personalities - An overarching background plot atop a slow burn - Advance chapters through patreon coming soon!
