In a realm shattered by forgotten wars and buried gods, strength defines truth, and only the chosen ascend. Inheritance grounds the ambitions of the talented, bloodlines dictate potential, and the heavens reward those they favor. But what becomes of the ones whom heaven ignores?
Kael was born without a name, without talent, and without a future—just another overlooked soul in a crumbling village beneath the ancient Mount Ghar’zul. In a world ruled by cultivation, he possesses no qi, no elemental affinity, and no recognized spirit. But where others see emptiness, Kael sees possibility.
Refusing to accept the world’s judgment, Kael embarks on a journey not of destiny, but of will. Through observation, struggle, and an unyielding hunger to carve his own path, he forges a unique cultivation method—melding the soul, body, and qi into a unified whole that defies the established laws of the realm. Along the way, Kael uncovers the remnants of forgotten legends, confronts the true nature of power, and discovers that some inheritances were never meant to be received—but born anew.
As realms collide, ancient beasts awaken, and buried truths rise, Kael must stand not only against gods and tyrants, but also against the path fate demanded he follow. For he is not heaven’s chosen.
He is its challenger.
