When two transmigrators carrying a System meet in a living hell, one is forced to hunt historical figures to gain power, while the other is determined to rebuild civilization through benevolence. They are each other's mission targets, yet in this troubled age, they become the only people who truly understand one another.
Chen Shuo claws his way out of a blood-soaked execution ground in the Five Dynasties era, with a Karma Hunting System bound to his mind. He kills bandit chiefs, slays famous generals, and resists the Khitans... Armed with strength and knowledge beyond his time, he rises from a lowly pawn awaiting slaughter to a powerful warlord. But every ounce of power is stained with blood. Karma clings to him like a curse, turning everyone against him and even attracting the attention of other System users who come to hunt him.
Until he meets Mo Yan. This man saves lives, heals the wounded, and promotes benevolent rule, hoping to end the chaos through education and moral guidance. The System issues a cold prompt: This man is the greatest obstacle to your civilizational reconstruction. Eliminate him to claim the ultimate reward.
Will Chen Shuo obey the System and become an unrivaled tyrant? Or will he defy fate and join forces with this idealist, taking a perilous path no one has ever walked, where blood and fire intertwine with benevolence?
Set in the darkest of eras, this story asks whether violence is a necessary evil of civilization. It paints a brutal, unflinching portrait of a chaotic age worthy of Game of Thrones, while two lonely souls struggle amid the tide of history to answer the question: What is civilization?
The bandit chapter is a bit distorted, but the army chapter is good to watch and the plot doesn't drag on.
