Claiming Life from Mortal Bones

Lu Chen, an orphan from the frontier, was born in the brutal Black Wasteland. He had neither a spiritual root nor a miraculous gift, and couldn't cultivate by sitting in meditation and breathing in spiritual energy. He could only pay with his flesh and years of life, desperately fighting and fleeing for a slim chance to survive. Demonic beasts devoured people, humans slaughtered one another, and every step along the path to immortality cost him years of life. With nothing but an ordinary body and an instinct to survive, he fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to seize a path to survival for ordinary mortals.
