In a world where the power of "Star Souls" is faint, or where magic is similarly scarce, the nobles of the dynasty monopolize cultivation resources and all paths to advancement. Born into a humble family, the protagonist unexpectedly obtains a fragment of a fallen general's Star Soul, or perhaps the legacy of an ancient powerhouse, and sets out on his path. The story follows him as he struggles to survive under the nobles' oppression, sneaks into an academy or the military to learn, grows stronger fighting strange beasts and rebels at the frontier, exposes noble corruption, leads youths from humble backgrounds in resisting injustice, and ultimately challenges the old order.
