Lord of Ashes

My name is Zhang Yanhang. I’m an ordinary transmigrator and a part-time college student with a flexible job. I’d planned to spend my life in luxury and excess, using my ability to copy books and my knowledge of the broad sweep of history to get ahead.

I didn’t expect spiritual qi revival to begin the following year, cutting short my plans before they’d even gotten off the ground. Luckily, I also happen to be an awakened one. With the power of a digitized status panel and templates, I travel through the various worlds of the Ashen Game, collecting countless templates and growing stronger.

World One: The end of the Jin Dynasty. Martial arts template, divine cultivation template.

A cannon over my shoulder, a spear that pierces iron rails, a body that stops trains, and the strength to overturn steamships at sea. The Boxers have divine aid, as the Third Prince Nezha descends to display his power with three heads and six arms. We’ll overthrow the Jin and drive out the foreigners, bringing a bright new age to the world.

P.S. The protagonist isn’t a bleeding heart. He’s decisive and ruthless, with a mind that works in unusual ways. If you don’t like it, please don’t flame the author.
