(Overpowered Villain Protagonist + Sword and Sorcery + Ensemble Cast + No System + Otherworldly Calamity + Slow Burn)
The moment Luo Xiaoying transmigrated into this sword-and-sorcery world, he was dragged into a deadly power struggle between aristocratic families.
He has no interest in being a savior, nor any desire to become a calamity-bringing fiend. All he wants is to figure out the rules and make it home alive.
Saving the city lord’s daughter is a way to find somewhere safe to settle down;
getting involved and turning the tables is a way to deal with the trouble coming after him once and for all;
seeing through a chain of conspiracies and preparing a few moves in advance is simply a way to keep others from leading him by the nose.
A rebellious son who murdered his father to seize power, a demonic soul mage wielding forbidden arts, and a mysterious organization plotting in the shadows: anyone who dares block his path to survival will find that he has already crushed every hope they had.
He doesn’t care about right and wrong, good and evil in this world. He only sticks to his own principles and goals.
And the earth-shattering secret behind his transmigration is only just beginning to unfold.
(The story starts in a Chinese-style city; Volume One consists of a single very long chapter.)
