Synopsis

…

Some dig into ancient tombs to feast on demon hearts; some brave the Return to the Ruins to steal dragon maps.

Some hang their fame and fortune upon a skull; some bury their beloved beneath heaps of gold and silver.

Some lament that the road to heaven is too far; some weep that the mortal world's cage is too deep.

They settle their karma and reap their retribution.

So what?

A mere skin that will not die, an ordinary heart that will not perish.

You call that immortality?

In the end, a human is no longer human, a demon is no longer a demon, and an immortal is no longer an immortal.

Original Fantasy With a Brainy Protagonist

I want a story with an original fantasy cultivation system, rigorous structure, and a vast, carefully built world that follows its own logic. Something engaging to read with your brain switched on. No mindless power fantasy. I want a complete world, vivid and well-rounded characters, and a tightly constructed plot.
