Destined STEALER

At the end of everything, they all came to Newland. Lanine was eating an apple when the sky cracked open. One moment he was walking through his city. Next, he was falling through light and noise and colors that didn't have names. When he opened his eyes, he was face-to-face with a creature that had too many teeth and absolutely no table manners. Newland is a realm connected to a billion worlds. A place where cultivation determines your worth and a stone platform can make your entire village disappear if your destiny runs dry. The strong get stronger. The weak get eaten. And everyone gets a System that offers achievements, trade, and the world's most sarcastic customer service. Lanine has nothing. No cultivation. No training. No idea what he's doing. What he does have is a constitution so rare it hasn't been seen in fifty years. A spirit in his head that remembers fire and battle and someone screaming its name. And a strange ability to be in the right place at the right time—or maybe the wrong place for everyone else. The spirit calls itself Ghost. It offers terrible advice and occasional existential dread. "Trust your instincts," Ghost says. "Follow the feelings. Take what the universe gives you." Lanine doesn't know what that means. But he's learning. While others struggle to survive their first week, Lanine is already catching the attention of powers he doesn't understand. Sect examiners lose their minds when they test him. Village chiefs offer him supplies and advice. Ancient cultivators bend the stars to get a closer look. "I have survived so well thanks to my excellent instincts, quick thinking, and complete inability to stop running. There is no external force at all." Cultivation realms. Destiny platforms. Beast tides. Fearsers. Forosers. Secret domains. Floating continents. A universe of possibilities and mysteries he can't explain. Lanine just wanted to eat his apple in peace. Now he has to become strong enough to keep his promises. And in Newland, promises are the most dangerous thing you can make.
