Introduction: Felix Morrow was an 18 year-old university student drowning in an indescribable emptiness. Trapped in a life he chose only for fear of death, his hollow existence abruptly ends in a tragic accident — only to awaken in a world unlike anything he's ever known. He is reborn under the name Lián Fēng in a war-torn empire reminiscent of ancient China to a family of poor farmers. In this world governed by Qi and the ancient art of cultivation, each initiate receives a primordial sword — a weapon shaped not by steel, but by the wielders inner self. For Felix, now reborn as Lián Fēng, this blade is no blessing. Where others see a canvas for their ambition, strength and intelligence, his sword reflects only the void he carried from his past life: a fractured soul that thirsts for meaning. His sword, a jagged shard of obsidian, mocks him daily — it's edge dull, it's aura lifeless. Even his parents, kind but weary souls, whisper that the gods must have cursed him.Then, the war arrives to his village, shattering what little peace he had known. Amidst the chaos Lián Fēng is forced to flee, leaving behind the only people who have ever shown him kindness. Alone and empty-handed, save for his jagged sword, he embarks on a perilous journey trough a land engulfed in conflict....
