A Sword Cultivator's Odyssey

(Note: This fanfiction is purely fictional with little to no relevance to reality! It is only for entertainment purposes and should be treated as such.) In Priestella, Subaru Natsuki is condemned as the Archbishop of Pride, his very existence devoured by Gluttony until the world forgets him. Used by radical members of the Council of Sages as a sacrificial villain, he is imprisoned and tortured in secret to stabilize Lugunica. He dies countless times plotting escape, each loop sharpening him into something colder than before. Then, in the midst of failure, the world does not reset. He awakens in the body of Zhao Kuan, a forgotten boy in a universe ruled by systems, cultivation, and scheduled apocalypses. Return by Death is silent—but the Witch Factors and Authorities he carries remain alongside a mysterious system. In a realm where power is quantified and ascension is protocol, an unregistered Authority is a dangerous anomaly. No longer seeking to be remembered, Subaru begins mastering both cultivation and sin. Someone erased him from one world—only to unleash him into another. _________________________________________________________________________________ cover image credit: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/2322237303016611/ For getting future chapters in advance, head on to my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Nobody75 (Note: Worlds' Apocalypse Online and the other works included belong to their respective artists which can be searched online.
