by Sovereign Sage
I’ve spent seventeen years in the Scrap Valley, breathing in toxic mist and eating the leftovers of the "elites" who live in the floating palaces above. I was born with no talent, no status, and no future. I was supposed to be the guy who gets crushed by the weight of this world. But I’ve got a secret. Deep inside me, there’s something that doesn't care about "talent" or "meditation." It doesn't care about being refined. My bones have a hunger of their own. Every time I get hit, every time I’m pushed to the brink of death, my body doesn't break—it forges. My ribs are turning to iron. My spine is becoming a weapon. They think I’m just a scavenger, a piece of filth to be kicked aside. But they’re about to realize that the most dangerous thing in this world isn't an elite cultivator. It’s a man who has nothing to lose, and a body that gets stronger every time you try to break it. I’m done digging through trash. It’s time to start climbing.
