Ch.1 Wild Ash Rat
"RUN!" A childish voice tore through the forest, filled with panic. But the warning came a little too late. A massive shadow exploded from the shrubs ahead, scattering leaves and twigs in every direction. The beast stood over half a meter tall, its body shaped like a rat but bloated to monstrous size. Greasy gray fur covered its rippling muscles, and finger-long fangs jutted from its mouth like twin daggers. Its red eyes locked onto the children. The Wild Ash Rat had found its prey. Without hesitation, it lunged forward, its claws digging into the earth as it gave chase. "Yun Jie, I thought you said there were no ranked demonic beasts in this area of the forest!" Yun Yue's complaint came out in hushed, desperate breaths. Her small legs pumped furiously, barely leaving footprints on the ground as she struggled to keep pace with her brother. Yun Jie wanted to cry. His chest burned, his legs trembled, and regret flooded his mind like poison. He shouldn't have come to the Black St
Ch.2 The Blind Prince
"Yun Kai." Yun Jie's voice came out like a curse and a prayer at once. The blindfolded figure hopped down from a low branch with the grace of a cat, landing without a sound. His bare feet didn't so much as stir the leaves on the forest floor. He walked slowly, and oddly enough, despite his condition, there was no cane or guiding tool to aid him. Yet every step was confident and deliberate. Not even the Wild Ash Rat, now long gone, had sensed him. Yun Yue's teary eyes flared with sudden fury. "You! You're the reason we're even here!" She leapt up and stormed toward him, fists balled, tears still streaking down her dust-smeared cheeks. "We nearly died, Kai-ge! Jie-ge almost got eaten! That thing was a ranked demonic beast!" Yun Kai tilted his head slightly. "Oh?" His voice was calm, infuriatingly serene. "Mortal rank? Tsk. That must've been rough." Yun Jie groaned from where he sat slumped against a tree. He was clutching his bleeding chest, pale as moonlight, looking like death
Ch3. Blood Trail
The talisman shone faintly in Yun Kai's palm, its paper edges were rough against his calloused fingers. It was a high-level Mortal Script Blood Chasing Talisman, rare as a phoenix feather in the Verdant Cloud Kingdom. Its price was enough to bankrupt lowborn nobles and leave commoners weeping. Only the Kingdom's guards wielded such treasures to hunt fugitives or beasts, tracking them through blood's unerring call. Yun Kai's lips twitched, a ghost of a smirk crossing his face. He'd "borrowed" a few from a guard's stash, a small rebellion against the palace's suffocating schemes. He knelt, blindfold snug against his eyes, and scooped a drop of the Wild Ash Rat's blood from the forest floor. The coppery tang stung his nose as he pressed it to the talisman's crimson center. Then he infused Qi into the talisman, sparking the script to life. The talisman erupted in a blaze, flames licking the air like a hungry beast. It shot forward, trailing fire and the reek of blood, searing a path t
Ch.4 Just Deserts
The leader stood, the device in his hand pulsing brighter. "Spread out. Check for tracks. If there's a Spirit Beast nearby, we're not leaving empty-handed." Yun Kai's lips curled, a bitter smile hidden beneath his blindfold. They'd walked into a predator's den, and he wasn't sure who the real prey was anymore. Them, or the beast lurking in the shadows. For now, he'd stay hidden like a ghost in the trees. The palace might not trust a blind prince's warnings, but Yun Kai didn't need their approval to act. The ground suddenly trembled. A faint pulse, too subtle for the group below to notice. But Yun Kai felt it. His senses screamed danger. At that moment, the beast-tracking device flared. Its hum spiked into a shrill whine that pierced the stillness. The leader's head snapped up, eyes widening, but the warning came too late. A shadow lunged from the underbrush. It was huge and sleek like a feline. A blur of midnight fur and gleaming fangs. It slammed into one of the men with th
Ch.5 Into the Beast's Lair
Yun Kai's feet pounded against the forest floor, his breath coming in controlled bursts. Behind him, the reinforcements gave chase immediately they spotted him, their voices carrying through the trees like hunting hounds closing in on prey. "After him!" "Don't let him escape!" "Whoever he is, he's seen too much!" Their cultivation bases were higher than his. He could feel it in the way their Qi signatures pressed against his senses, heavy and threatening. They were early Blood Condensation at minimum. Some even at peak Blood Condensation. He couldn't fight them directly. But he didn't need to. Minutes into cat and mouse chase, Yun Kai's senses picked up something else. A distinct sharp and metallic smell. It was blood. Fresh blood, but almost fading. The smell was mixed with the familiar wild musk of a predator. The Saber-tooth Panther. Yun Kai's lips curled into a grim smile beneath his blindfold. The beast's trail was faint but unmistakable, leading deeper into the f
Ch.6 A Blind Man's Worst Nightmare
Yun Kai didn't know how long he'd been freefalling. Seconds? Minutes? Time lost meaning in the absolute darkness as wind roared past his ears and his stomach lurched into his throat. Just as dizziness began to overwhelm him, his senses picked up something. The sound of flowing water reached his ears. It was distant but growing louder with each passing moment. 'Water. Deep water, hopefully.' He twisted his body mid-fall, arms tucked close, preparing for impact. The sound rushed up to meet him, and then... SPLASH! The world exploded into cold shock as he plunged into the underground river. Water filled his nose, his mouth, his ears. The current grabbed him immediately, pulling him down, down, deeper into the freezing depths. Yun Kai didn't panic. Despite all his hardships in the palace, being a prince came with certain benefits. He'd been taught to swim since childhood, along with musical instruments, basic sword fighting, archery, and countless other lessons meant to shape a prop
Ch.7 The Game Begins
The moment the effect of the ripple faded, a 'ding' sound resonated in the head of every living thing in the Desolate Martial World.Everyone froze. Cultivators mid-strike in a fight. Merchants mid-sale in the market. Children mid-laugh. Even the beasts in the forests went still.The sound came from inside their minds, impossible to ignore or block out. Confusion rippled across the world like a second wave, followed quickly by panic.[DING!!! The Era of Wars and Kingdom Building has been activated][Muahahahaha... You mortals that look like ants, I am the First World King! I hate to look at you weak humans living a quiet and peaceful life. From now on, this world shall be bound to the cycle of warfare. Every land will become a battlefield. Every soul a contender for dominion. Kingdoms shall rise, Empires shall fall, Dynasties shall be destroyed. Struggle! Struggle hard, become stronger, and use it to entertain me. Only by continuously strengthening yourself and building a lasting empi
Ch.8 New Beginnings
The white light faded, replaced by natural sunlight filtering through a canopy of leaves.Yun Kai stood in a forest, his sensory bubble expanding to take in his surroundings.Trees towered around him, their trunks thick enough that three men couldn't wrap their arms around them. Undergrowth carpeted the forest floor in layers of moss and ferns. Birds sang in the distance, their calls echoing through the branches. The air smelled of fresh earth and vegetation.A notification appeared in his mind.[Current Location: Cloudville County, Dawnstar Province, Spiritbone Mountain]Recognition dawned immediately. He knew this place.This was the forest near the border between his Verdant Cloud Kingdom and the Yunlan Kingdom. The landmarks on the system map in his mind matched perfectly with his memories. He'd studied maps of regions countless times in the palace library, memorizing borders and territories.He was at the base of Spiritbone Mountain, which acted as the first line of the border be
Ch.9 Spiritrock Village
The golden light expanded outward like a wave, washing over the entire clearing. Yun Kai's sensory bubble lit up with the energy, tracking the transformation happening around him. Where there had been empty grass and dirt, structures began to materialize. Wooden buildings rose from nothing, their frames solidifying in seconds. A central hall, larger than the others, appeared at the heart of the clearing. Smaller houses sprouted around it like mushrooms after rain. The light faded, and silence fell. [Congratulations to player Yun Kai on successfully establishing the Desolate Martial World's first village and becoming an example among players. Please name your village.] Yun Kai thought for a moment. The name needed to be meaningful, connected to the land. "Spiritrock Village," he said aloud. Since he was in the area of Spiritbone Mountain, which was a small part of the main Blackrock Mountain range, the name felt appropriate. Spiritrock. A combination of both. [Player has success
Ch.10 The Second Village
"Dammit! That bastard was only a few minutes faster than me."At this moment, within Cloudpetal County in Dawnstar Province, the former Duke Xu Jiezhi was visibly pissed off.After the world had changed, he had adapted quickly. He'd always intended to usurp the king's throne, and now this was his opportunity. Everyone's strength was low in the early stages. The playing field was level.But even after his quick reaction, he'd still been a few minutes short of creating the first territory in the new Desolate Martial World.Xu Jiezhi, who was also full of dreams of being "the first village in the world," roared in anger when he heard the emotionless tone of the system announcement.His fist slammed into a nearby tree, bark splintering under the impact. His Qi flared, unstable with rage.But good things don't come in pairs, and bad things come in doubles. At this moment, the world announcement rang out again.[Global Announcement: Dawnstar Province's Cloudpetal County player, Xu Jiezhi ha
