The worst mistake you can make is giving power to the right person. The night Shen Mo was betrayed and left pinned to a tree with a sword through his arm, two things happened. He learned his dantian was destroyed. He would never cultivate again. And he finally received his golden finger. There was just one problem. The System wasn't for him. It let him grant power to other people and only other people. Kill to grow stronger. Refine pills to gain qi. Each System unique. Each one useless in his own hands. Desperate and bleeding out, Shen Mo grants his first System to the only person in sight: Yan Luo, an inner disciple with dead eyes and a smile that never reaches them. Yan Luo accepts without hesitation. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't seem surprised. He simply starts killing. Now Shen Mo is trapped between ambitious elders and a dying sect, building a network of System holders he can't fully control, and learning a terrible lesson: the people he empowers aren't becoming monsters. They already were. He just handed them the keys. What to Expect: • Weak mastermind protagonist • Multiple System holders with competing agendas • Ruthless sect politics and cultivation schemes • Morally gray characters and psychological tension • Body horror, human experimentation, and lasting consequences What to Expect Less Of: • Instant power-ups • Overpowered protagonist • Easy victories 📅 Release Schedule: New chapters daily at 2:30 PM UTC.
