(This is not a wish-fulfillment story. The protagonist is simply someone trying to survive in the brutal Gu world. Those who keep humiliating people in other worlds and repeatedly pull out astonishing power are usually either blessed with a halo or saved by a deus ex machina. Here, you’ll find only ordinary people fighting desperately to get by.)
How much hardship must an ordinary person in the Gu world endure just to scrape by? In the face of survival, dignity may be nothing more than a trivial pretense. Cruelty, perhaps, is simply forced upon people by the law of the jungle.
Chen Qi was born a peasant. At best, he might spend his whole life among the middle ranks of ordinary Gu Masters. He wanted to fight for that one chance to change his fate, but his lifespan would not allow it. He also had no desire to fight. A life of wandering and hardship was colorful enough to deserve the word “remarkable.”
