by Plutarch
Fate has never been fair. Yesterday, Reyn was a boy sheltered by the warmth of his family. Today, his parents lie dead, and he is a hunted beast fleeing across the merciless, scorching sands. No path of retreat. No mercy from his pursuers. Thrust into a brutal world far too young, Reyn cannot afford to weep. He must endure. He must hide. Like a wolf in the shadow of the dunes, he will lick his wounds and sharpen his fangs in absolute silence. For he knows that in a world ruled by the strong, weakness is the ultimate sin. He will crawl. He will endure. And he will rise—until no one, not even the heavens, can ever look down on him again. What to expect: A traditional, slow-burn Xianxia progression fantasy focusing on gritty survival, character development, and strategic cultivation. No instant-power-ups, just a boy forged into iron through sheer will. 🔴Author’s Note: Dear fellow cultivators, Volume One has officially concluded at 400000 words!
