Sacred Malice

"To live without power is a crime; to die without it is a curse." In a world where a man’s life is worth less than the shine on a nobleman’s boot, Ayan was born. An orphan of a slave, he inherited only one legacy from his dying mother: "Become so powerful that even Death must ask your permission to take you." While the year 2145 in the city of Aetheria hides a cursed book—The Fallen Demon—that shatters the boundaries of reality, a primitive and cruel cultivation world demands a different price. Here, Echo Masters command the elements and bend the heavens to their will. Ayan doesn't seek mercy. He doesn't seek justice. He seeks Absolute Sovereignty. Whether he must scrub the filth off boots or wade through rivers of blood, he will not falter. In the grand game of existence, you are either a pawn on the board or the hand that flips it.
