The Genius Fortune Teller

The Mandate of Heaven Diviner is not a lively book.

A high school senior with terrible grades drowns and dies, then transmigrates to a world of immortals and heroes with only three stones he picked up in his pocket. He hauls coal and dumps ash, gets beaten with a shoulder pole until he vomits bile, and survives by licking drops of water from the cracks in a prison cell. He uses the stones to divine the future, applies high school chemistry to uncover the secrets of spirit stones, and invents a form of spiritual medicine this world has never seen, inspired by the steam from the herbal medicine his mother used to brew.

This book is made for listening to on a walk, on a sleepless night, or when you feel so lost you don't know what you're busy with anymore. It won't teach you how to become powerful. It simply tells you that even with things other people have thrown away, you can build the first brick of your own life.

Open it and listen. Let the boy hauling coal in another world keep you company as you hold on for one more stick of incense in your own.
