Zhu Lin, formerly a 996 programmer, is now a good-for-nothing martial arts student in his final year of high school on Blue Star, as well as a “gold-medal human punching bag.”
He worked himself to death staying up late to play Warhammer 40K and transmigrated. From the start, both his parents were dead, he was buried in debt from his mortgage, and his martial arts aptitude ranked at the bottom. He could even faint after standing in a stance for an hour. His deskmate and best friend, Lin Dong, was his one fellow sufferer and “sparring partner.”
In this desperate world, surrounded by evil gods and ravaged by cults, war orphans like them are afraid even to eat the cafeteria's free bowl of coarse rice.
Then, one night, amid the agony of his soul tearing apart, he saw it: the Golden Throne!
The Emperor's gaze pierced through time and space!
Under the Emperor's might, the soul of a wage slave was transformed! The [Golden Furnace] ignited! Vulkan's flame awakened in his blood! His mediocre martial bones were forcibly tempered and elevated!
Strength brought hope, but it brought shackles as well.
The Emperor's warning branded him like ice: Betray me, and you will be fuel for all eternity!
When Li Mang, who had mocked him in the past, bullies his brother again, Zhu Lin's fist is wreathed for the first time in heat that warps the air! When the “sparring partner” runs into a spoiled rich girl, the heavy forging hammer dances in his hands with the rhythm of a master smith!
But true power requires “fuel.”
The followers of the “Gluttonous Evil God,” the madmen who sacrificed his parents in a blood ritual... In the Furnace's perception, their souls give off the most “enticing” energy.
From a good-for-nothing martial artist to the Emperor's fuel, from human punching bag to evil god hunter. With the Furnace and warhammer in hand, Zhu Lin vows to burn away every heretic in the world and use the soulfire of his enemies to light humanity's path forward!
