[Dark fantasy! A pure villain, ruthless and decisive, utterly self-serving. No redemption arc. Hard-core, political scheming, high-IQ. Read with caution.]
He was once a giant of the demonic path.
He reached the pinnacle, commanded ten thousand ghosts, and ultimately stabbed the “Child of the Plane” in the back, taking his innate treasure and reversing the river of time, all for the chance to live again.
When he opened his eyes, he had become a “blood bag” at the very bottom. His aptitude was rated sixth-grade, with a theoretical limit of only the third rank. Trapped in a cage, he was there to await death and be drained dry.
But they had no idea that this young body housed a hundred years of memories belonging to a Demon Venerable.
Ruthless and decisive, utterly self-serving, and a master of deception.
He crawls out of a pile of corpses, dons the mask of a “good person,” and enters a contractor academy under the control of financial conglomerates.
In the eyes of others, he is a dark horse with the worst aptitude who keeps achieving miracles, a young genius they can control and exploit.
In the shadows where no one can see, he treats everyone as a chess piece. The scions of great clans are his stepping stones, the spoiled heirs of financial conglomerates are his cash reserves, and the academy’s power brokers are weapons he can borrow for now.
With the heart of a demon, he takes his place among the righteous. Caught between rival powers, he seizes every resource he can and lays the groundwork to escape this game.
In this world, the rules have collapsed and ghosts run rampant. Humans are the true essence of heaven and earth; ghosts are the rules made manifest.
The so-called righteous path is merely plunder with better manners. The so-called aptitude is merely a more refined shackle. His goal has never been to climb higher within this cage: he intends to tear the cage itself apart.
He will ascend to the summit by the demonic path.
This is the story of a reborn man fighting against a predetermined fate.
This is the story of an utterly self-serving man carefully plotting every step in a cruel world.
This is a story about power, its price, and the complex depths of human nature.
It's really well written. Although some of the plots in the early stages are a bit mindless, the later ones are very exciting.
Although it's a little bit toxic in the early stages, it's still quite exciting later on.
It's very beautiful, but there are too many deliberate descriptions and could be streamlined.
You can take a look, it matches the entry
Very nice novel
At present, there is no evil point, as long as it keeps updating, one chapter per month is fine, and I can see the end in 500 years.
So far, the writing looks pretty good.
