He was a “mongrel” exiled from the Dragon Realm, with forbidden Chaos power and a glimmer of humanity flowing through his veins. He was Gan Lin, a discarded pawn carelessly cast aside by fate's chessboard.
When the rebel dragon Minglong tore through the Dragon Realm with its claws, the supreme leader Cang Li lay at death's door, and the Dragon Court teetered on the brink of collapse, this discarded pawn was pushed in desperation toward the only path to survival: the human world. This was no escape, but the final desperate move Gan Mo and Cang Li could make in a losing game. Gan Lin set foot in the human world, as frail as dust, tormented day and night by two forces tearing him apart from within. The glory of the royal court had vanished like a dream. Only Cang Li's dying gaze and the cries of the shattered Dragon Realm remained to drive him to survive.
Become stronger! No longer for survival, but to take control of the game! He wrung every trace of spiritual energy from the mortal world, taming the Chaos within him and his fragile humanity. Every breakthrough was a strike against fate's chessboard. Ties to the human world quietly took hold, and his companions' trust branded him like a scorching mark. This was no longer the exile of a lone pawn, but a player building his own power.
