The Empire's Martial Ancestor

I want to become the strongest martial arts grandmaster on this continent.

(I’m terrible at coming up with titles! I can write a whole lot for the blurb and still feel like it doesn’t help. That one sentence should give you the general idea. This book has none of the old-school wuxia feel you’d find in works by the masters. The early plot is entirely original, and later on it leans even more toward fantasy. I enjoy telling stories and developing characters. I don’t like cramming in a bunch of internet jokes; that feels like recycling other people’s material, with no creativity at all.)
