🏛️ THE MANA LEECH: THE SYSTEM’S ACCIDENTAL PARASITE In a world of dragons and gods, the most dangerous creature is the one you step on every day." In the prestigious Sky-Shattering Sect, power is everything. Disciples awaken spirits of Golden Dragons, Heavenly Swords, and Primal Beasts. But Asher—known only as 'Dreg 449'—awakened something the Elders deemed a biological error: A Mana Leech. A spirit that cannot fight. A spirit that cannot defend. A spirit that cannot even circulate its own Qi. For three years, Asher has been the sect's invisible janitor, kneeling on the cold marble to scrub the blood of geniuses. The world sees a broken orphan. But through his Leech, Asher sees the truth that the Gods hide: The System is leaking. Every time a genius brags, Asher drains their aura. Every time an Elder performs a miracle, Asher steals the leftover mana. While the 'Chosen Ones' scream in pain to absorb a single spirit-stone, Asher is quietly auditing the sect’s spiritual treasury, one invisible thread at a time. He isn't here to join their hierarchy. He is here to liquidate it. The audit has begun. And by the time the Heavens realize they are being bled dry, the Leech will have grown large enough to swallow the world.
