The Hollow Path - The Crooked Pine
Han Jae-hyun perishes as the parking structure he is inspecting collapses beneath him.
He finds himself in a burning inn, in the body of a malnourished servant boy with a cracked energy channel. The only injury that makes a person worthless in a world based on the concept of cultivation. The inn catches fire because someone needs a witness killed. He is the witness.
He escapes through a window and into the mountains, alone. No sect, no teacher, no resources, no name worth using. Only the training of an engineer: looking at a broken thing and wondering how it broke, and if it needs to stay that way.
The world says a cracked meridian is unhealable. He's heard that kind of talk before. It's the kind of talk people make right before the structure proves them wrong.
