Shen Zhibai, a refugee from Shuofeng City, was born a white, fate-less person. His destiny is a blank slate, and he is fated never to cultivate.
When he was six, a tide of ferocious beasts swept through the entire city. His parents perished, and he was buried beneath a collapsed roof beam for three days. When he woke, a terrifying scar had appeared on his left wrist. A secret lay hidden within it, while deep in his spine, a strange Fate-Slaying Stone slept.
On a snowy winter night when he was seventeen, guards from the City Lord's manor decided to cripple all four of his limbs. At the brink of despair, a searing force erupted through his spine, and the Fate-Slaying System suddenly awakened.
By killing, he could seize other people's fate techniques, but fate's corruption followed like a shadow.
The System marks one fated person each day, and the Three Forbidden Strikes rule hangs over his head: do not strike the innocent, do not strike those who have shown kindness, and do not strike the one you love. Anyone who breaks the rule dies on the spot.
That is, until A-Qi, who has a mole beneath her left eye, appears. She bears an identical scar on her wrist, and the fateful object was originally meant to be inherited by her. The two decide to travel together, fighting their way from Shuofeng City to the Destiny Tower in the imperial capital. At last, Shen Zhibai comes to his senses: the Fate-Slaying Stone was never a fortuitous opportunity, but a deadly trap laid from the very beginning of the storm and snow.
He resolves to swing his blade and sever every destiny set in stone.
There is nothing dragging about the plot so far, come on!!! 👍👍👍
