An died and was reborn in a cultivation world. A world he had only read about in novels. Reincarnated into a body with no family, clan, or any support, and with only a slave brand on his neck, An tries to survive at all costs. In this world, where status and your background often play a more important role than your talent, he does everything possible to stay in the shadows without drawing extra attention to himself. Secretly from everyone, relying only on his talent and hard work, he spends all his time studying this world, its rules, and its very essence. Constantly facing inhumanity and ruthlessness, An adapts and, without noticing it himself, changes into someone, or something, he no longer recognizes. Volume 1 is completely finished! Smooth daily updates are guaranteed. What to expect: No Romance | No Harem | Alchemy | Grimdark Progress through effort: The MC is not overpowered by chance. He develops and progresses strictly through his own hard work and dedication.The world does not revolve around the MC: In this story, he is merely an extra with a difficult fate, while the 'true heroes' chase their own glory.A loner who trusts no one: He relies only on himself, and his isolation will only deepen over time.Unpredictable MC: An is not easy to read. He is a bit eccentric and follows his own unique, pragmatic logic. Updates: Mon-Fri (5 ch/week)
