Dao Reaper

In the barren borderlands of the Eastern Wilds, cultivation is the only path to survive. The great sects stand like mountains, their disciples casting shadows over villages where mortals live and die unseen. In one such village, Li Shen is born beneath an ill-omened eclipse — a black sun that makes the elders whisper of “calamity seeds.” When he turns eight, the local branch of the Cloud Piercing Sect visits to test the children’s talent. They speak of spiritual roots, meridians, Qi affinity. When they test Li Shen… nothing. No affinity. No spiritual roots. To them, he is worse than trash — a cripple who will never cultivate. But they are wrong. Hidden deep in his soul is an Innate Dao Mark — a mark not of creation, but of consumption. It does not draw Qi from the heavens… It steals it from the living.
