Reborn: From Design Drone to God of War Overnight

Chen Hao's life was a textbook of humiliation.

The stigma of his associate degree followed him everywhere. At the design firm he got into through connections, he was an easy target for everyone: the director casually gave him a hard time, colleagues snickered and ostracized him, and interns dumped their mistakes on him. He was so broke he had to ration instant noodles.

His bedridden father's medical bills, the money to help his sister raise her child, his younger sister's tuition, and the cold reminders in debt-collection texts weighed on him like three mountains. The necklace he bought with three months of savings couldn't win back his girlfriend, Su Qing. All he got was her saying, “We're from different worlds,” as she threw herself into the arms of a real estate tycoon.

At one in the morning, after another late night at work, a steel pipe fell in a construction alley and brought his twenty-eight years of life to an end. As his consciousness faded, he had just one thought to scream: “I refuse to accept this!”

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as a young man with the same name in a parallel world. He was no longer an office drone hunched over revisions, but a legendary war god in the crisp uniform of a battle zone! There was no grinding 996 work schedule or worry over debt collectors, only the passion and glory of defending his homeland, and brothers-in-arms willing to share life and death with him.

From a design grunt trampled underfoot to the Great Xia War God, whose name makes enemy invaders tremble, Chen Hao rewrites his fate with fiery courage: what seems like a desperate dead end is only the prelude to a hero's coronation.

When the weaknesses that once held him back become his armor, and his buried brilliance cuts across the sky, he will personally set the winds and tides of this parallel world in motion!
