I was born with a flame pattern and thought it meant I was destined for greatness. Instead, I lived an ordinary life all the way through college graduation, until a sinister murder at a nursing home in Shucheng shattered the peace. The elderly were mysteriously falling unconscious, their life force drained away, and an unreliable old man dragged me headfirst into the mess!
I thought it was just an ordinary evil formation, but the deeper I dug, the more everything overturned my understanding. A deranged doctor ripped out his own heart to create a soul-devouring formation and steal my flame pattern. A dashing young man became a nonhuman monster, the result of a horrifying Shen family massacre meant to replenish the flame pattern. Even more terrifying, traditional secret arts were colluding with bizarre technological modifications, and ordinary people’s lives had become experimental fodder!
The truth behind the life-stealing ritual gradually came to light. I tempered my body, awakened my power, and set out to uncover the truth, no matter the danger: the secrets of the nursing home, the origins of the flame pattern, the terrifying forces behind Shen San... Every step brought me to the brink, and every revelation shattered what I thought I knew!
“Bro, just do it!” Hei Zai shouted, clenching his fist.
I sneered and unleashed my flame pattern. “Life-stealing arts? Technological modifications? Cross my line, and I’ll cut you down, human or ghost!”
