"You scholars buried in your graves may laugh at my idealism, but I dare to make a new world beneath the sun and moon." What started the rebellion? To escape oppression? To give his brothers a place to call home? To win the heart of the one he loved? Or to fight for justice beneath the heavens? Who cares?

The overall power level is around mid-level martial arts. Its central theme is the protagonist's struggle against fate. It is set in an alternate history and is entirely original, not fan fiction.
