Practice Quota

In this world, cultivation has never been a matter of personal will alone. The path exists, but it is not open to everyone; the space runs, but it will gradually tighten without being reminded. You can continue, but each step will cost you more. There was no explicit ban and no public elimination. There are only seemingly smooth completions again and again, and options that quietly disappear in the midst of success. This is not a story about the rise of the strong. This is a world about being allowed to continue.
