[No Female Lead] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Self-Interest]
In the final years of the Great Yan dynasty, demons ravaged the countryside, forced labor drained the people dry, and imperial authority crumbled. In this chaotic age, human lives were worth less than weeds by the roadside.
Lin Yue went from being an overworked office worker who died suddenly to a penniless young man whose father had been conscripted into forced labor. No System quests, no heaven-sent opportunities: just a transparent panel. Training in boxing raised his progress, and standing meditation advanced his level. As long as he was willing to push himself, he could grow stronger.
Self-interest was his nature, and survival was his only goal. Other people’s lives meant nothing to him unless they got in his way.
In this chaotic age, where demons devoured people, soldiers plundered, and noble families trampled the weak, Lin Yue trusted only two things: his fists and the progress bar on his panel. After all, if he wanted to live better than others, he had to be fiercer, work harder, and hold nothing back. Kindness couldn’t save your life.
