Starfire

[Emoticon] Starflare: Synopsis

Story Summary

Gu Xingran failed to awaken his star meridians at the age of seven and was branded a cripple. He eked out a miserable existence in the Gu family for ten years. His parents worked themselves to illness protecting him, then passed away one after the other. He became an outsider in the family, trampled underfoot by his cousin Gu Yuntian and betrayed by Lin Han, his childhood sweetheart.

At seventeen, Gu Xingran was practicing in secret in the back hills when Gu Yuntian humiliated him in front of everyone. That night, he accidentally found a meteorite fragment by a cliff. It housed the remnant soul of an ancient being known as Old Ghost, and awakened a golden finger called the Star Chart System, which let him see the fluctuations of star power in all things and precisely predict his enemies' weaknesses.

His star meridians were broken, so he would mend them himself. If his talent wasn't enough, he would fight with his life. Starting out as a First Sequence Star Apprentice, Gu Xingran went on to face-slap Lin Han, kill a sect spy, and defeat his old nemesis Gu Yuntian. Only after lighting all nine star meridians within him and becoming the greatest cultivator on the Myriad Stars Continent did he discover that his parents' deaths were no accident, but the work of a traitor within the Starcloud Sect. And the blood flowing through his veins was that of the Meteorite Guardians.

An even greater enemy waits beyond the starfields.
