Synopsis

[Republican Era] + [The Dynasty’s Final Years] + [Monsters Run Amok] + [Extreme Martial Arts] + [Elderly Protagonist] + [Patriotic] + [Cautious]

In the dynasty’s final years, the rulers closed the country off from the world. To preserve their rule, they burned martial arts manuals and killed martial artists, causing the nation’s martial arts to decline. Eventually, foreigners used their powerful martial arts and advanced weapons to blast the country’s gates open, and the nation was thoroughly devoured.

On top of that, monsters roamed unchecked across the land. With the country’s martial arts in decline and unable to hold them back, the nation had no choice but to seek help from the foreigners, buying advanced weapons and sealed artifacts from them to slay the monsters. The foreigners had the country firmly by the throat.

Lin Feng is reborn into the chaos of the Republican Era. After living to the age of 65, he activates the Late-Bloomer Critical Multiplier System. Anything Lin Feng obtains through his own efforts can be returned to him with a critical multiplier.
