Pets may reign like emperors— but I am destined to become the Medicine King of another world. Nie Kong was a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his previous life—and a max-level pharmacist who once stood at the peak of a hyper-real game world. During the final battle against an undefeated game boss, fate struck. Lightning fell. Death followed. But instead of ending, his life began again. Reborn into a cultivation world, Nie Kong awakens in the body of a frail young man burdened with a terminal constitution—a body destined to die before the age of eighteen. His meridians are blocked, his blood ব্জpoisoned by years of failed medicines, and his family reduced to a declining shadow watched by predators. Yet something impossible crossed worlds with him. A purple illusory spirit seed, born from collapsed game data and fused with his soul, now lies dormant within his body—awakening as a terrifying spiritual companion with emperor-level potential. Armed with medical knowledge far beyond this world, forbidden needle arts, and a spirit pet that devours medicine to grow stronger, Nie Kong begins to rewrite the rules of cultivation itself. Illness becomes nourishment. Poison becomes a catalyst. Healing becomes a weapon deadlier than blades. As clans scheme, geniuses rise, and ancient powers stir, Nie Kong walks a path no one else dares to tread—a path where medicine rules over cultivation, and a once-weak youth forges his way toward absolute supremacy. This is not the story of a warrior. This is the rise of a man who defies fate itself— the Otherworldly Medicine King.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Lightning at the Gate of Fate

The girl on the screen smiled.

It was not a wide smile, nor the stiff kind people learned to ignore during corporate announcements. This one felt personal. Almost playful. She tilted her head slightly, silver hair sliding past her shoulders, her bright eyes fixed straight on the camera as if she could see every single person watching.

“Dear players,” she said, her voice soft and pleasant.

“Good evening. I am Demon GM007.”

She did not rush her words. She never needed to. Silence was part of the performance.

“October tenth, 2025,” she continued after a pause,

“will become a date that every Demon player remembers.”

On the official Demon website, a massive countdown glowed in red.

00:00:10

00:00:09

00:00:08

Across the world, millions of players stared at their screens. Some leaned forward in their chairs. Others forgot to blink. Fingers hovered uselessly above keyboards, mice, and controllers.

“Tonight,” the GM said, her smile growing slightly,

“will be filled with excitement. With passion. Because in just a few seconds…”

She stopped speaking.

The silence stretched.

00:00:03

00:00:02

00:00:01

Her crimson assassin outfit hugged her perfectly. Dark leather, silver trims, sharp lines. She knew exactly how she looked, and she knew what effect it had.

“…the six strongest guilds of the Eastern Region,” she announced calmly,

“will begin their final assault on the ultimate boss.”

The chat exploded.

Messages flooded the screen so fast they became unreadable streaks of color.

“…Ziluo Phantom Spirit Incense.”

The name alone was enough.

Forums crashed. Servers lagged. Players who had quit months ago rushed to log back in, desperate not to miss history.

Demon was not just another online game.

Since its release three years ago, it had spread across the world like a storm. Its visuals were stunning. Its combat felt dangerously real. Every spell had weight. Every strike mattered. And the story was deep, cruel, and addictive enough to trap players for years.

According to official statistics, Demon had surpassed one hundred million active players.

Yet one existence remained undefeated.

Ziluo Phantom Spirit Incense.

For three long years, players from every server and every major guild had challenged it.

Every attempt ended the same way.

Failure.

Tonight, however, was different.

Six elite guilds had prepared for half a year. Thousands of max level players. Perfect equipment. Skill rotations practiced until they became instinct. Battle plans refined to the smallest detail.

Some whispered that the chance of success had reached eighty percent.

An operation unlike anything before.

The GM laughed softly and waved.

“Will they succeed?”

Behind her, a massive gate engraved with the word Demon began to shake. Stone groaned. Light twisted.

The gate opened.

Beyond it stood a towering palace, half hidden by swirling clouds and fractured light. Its doors stood wide open, darkness spilling outward like breath from a living creature.

The Demon Hall.

The final lair.

“Let us watch,” the GM said, smiling.

“And find out.”

East of the Demon Hall lay a quiet mountain valley.

Green grass rolled like waves beneath a steady wind. The air shimmered faintly, heavy with danger. Crimson robed figures wandered lazily across the land, their scarlet eyes glowing softly in the shade.

Scarlet Eyed Demon Enchantresses.

Level ninety nine humanoid monsters.

Beautiful. Deadly. Infamous.

This was not a place players entered casually.

And yet chaos erupted at the valley entrance.

“Damn it! I lost a level!”

The scream echoed sharply.

“How is that even possible? You are an Apothecary!” the voice shouted in disbelief.

“How do you have Mage type puppet skills? That casting speed is insane. You are hacking. You have to be!”

A body lay sprawled on the ground.

Above it floated six blood red words.

Kill You Stripped.

Potions, ores, and pieces of low grade equipment littered the grass.

Nearby, a man stood calmly, holding a faintly glowing golden feather fan.

Nolan King sighed.

“Unlucky,” he said casually.

“This is the Demon Hall map. Teleportation does not work here.”

He glanced down at the body.

“Inside the hall, death sends you back to town. Outside,” he continued,

“you revive where you fall. Or you wait for an Apothecary.”

A faint smile touched his lips.

“And I happen to be one.”

His expression remained calm, almost detached.

In the real world, Nolan King came from a long line of traditional healers. After university, he opened his own clinic and quickly gained fame for his unconventional but effective treatments.

Then one day, without warning, he closed it.

Three years ago, a friend casually recommended Demon. Out of curiosity, Nolan bought a helmet.

He never logged out again.

He chose the Apothecary class out of habit. Used his real name. Played alone. No guilds. No fixed teams. No pointless player killing.

He leveled steadily. Crafted medicine. Sold items. Treated the game as quiet relaxation.

Tonight, after three long years, he reached level one hundred.

And someone tried to ambush him.

Kill You Stripped had made a fatal mistake.

Nolan had created ten original in game medicines, unlocking a unique system skill.

Pharmacist King Incarnation.

The Apothecary’s ultimate combat trump card.

The assassin never stood a chance.

“What?!” Kill You Stripped screamed from the ground.

Nolan lifted his fan.

“Revive.”

Golden light descended.

Kill You Stripped stood up.

Then spells rained down on him instantly.

Blood splattered.

His health bar filled halfway.

Then vanished.

He collapsed again.

More equipment scattered across the grass.

“Ninety seven?!”

“I lost another level?! Nolan King, you bastard!”

Nolan replied calmly.

“Your name is Kill You Stripped. I think the system agrees.”

Two minutes passed.

Cooldown finished.

“Revive.”

Up.

Down.

Again.

Again.

“Brother Nolan King, I was wrong!”

“Grandpa, please stop!”

“I borrowed this account!”

“Drop me to ninety if you dare!”

“I am your grandson!”

“No, you are mine!”

The valley echoed with desperate curses.

Inside the Demon Hall, the battle reached its peak.

“Boss health at thirty percent!”

“It is retreating. Do not let it recover!”

A massive purple figure burst through the gates.

A flower.

Nearly ten meters tall.

Withered petals. Burned leaves. Roots twisting like living creatures.

Ziluo Phantom Spirit Incense screamed.

Crimson shockwaves erupted, stunning the frontline players.

Using the chaos, it fled.

Straight toward the eastern valley.

“Kill You Stripped. Level ninety.”

The assassin laughed bitterly.

“Nolan King. I will remember this.”

Nolan raised his fan.

“Revive.”

Before either could react, a seductive purple shadow rushed forward.

Nine massive leaves wrapped around the assassin.

His health dropped to zero instantly.

“Ziluo Phantom Spirit Incense?!”

Thunder roared.

Lightning tore across the sky.

A bolt shattered Nolan King’s bedroom window.

Then struck his helmet.

Pain exploded.

The world twisted.

The figures of Nolan King and the boss distorted violently.

Then vanished.

October 11th, 2025.

Daily News Report:

A nationally renowned physician was struck by lightning at home and passed away at the age of twenty eight.

The Demon official website issued an apology.

Boss data was lost.

Compensation was distributed.

One detail was never disclosed.

The data of the max level Apothecary Nolan King disappeared along with Ziluo Phantom Spirit Incense.

“Uncle… please wake up…”

A sobbing voice pulled Nolan from darkness.

Uncle?

Awareness surged.

Lightning. Death.

Yet warmth remained.

Memories not his own flooded in.

A new empire. A small city. A declining noble family.

This body was eighteen years old. Weak. Sickly.

The same name.

His sister in law, Luna, knelt beside the bed, tears falling freely.

He understood.

He was alive.

Reborn.

The door burst open.

“Luna,” a shrill voice said coldly.

“Did you forget your promise to the Third Young Master?”

An arrogant man stepped inside, smiling cruelly.

Another laughed.

“That useless trash is dead anyway.”

Luna resisted.

Struggled.

Dragged.

Threatened.

Despair filled the room.

Rage burned in Nolan King’s chest.

A warm current surged from deep within his body.

Something unlocked.

He sat upright.

And shouted loudly.

“Stop.”

    Chapter 2: Death’s Door and the Purple Secret
    The room was too quiet.Not the comforting kind of quiet that comes with rest or peace. This was the kind that pressed down on the chest. The kind that made the air feel heavy, almost watchful. Even the dust floating lazily through the light seemed to hesitate, as if it feared being noticed.The doorway told a different story.Broken planks lay scattered across the floor. Wood splinters and jagged fragments were strewn in every direction, the clear aftermath of a forced entry. Someone had come in without asking. Someone strong enough to make doors meaningless.Two men stood near the entrance.One was tall and lean, his frame wiry and sharp. The other was shorter, broader, with the solid build of someone used to throwing his weight around. Between them stood a young woman, each man gripping one of her arms.Their hold was firm. Painfully so.Their fingers dug into the fabric of her sleeves as if they expected her to bolt the moment they loosened their grip. Not that she looked capable

    Chapter 3: Blood Awakens, Needles Sing
    Nolan King lay still on the narrow bed, barely breathing. His chest rose and fell in shallow movements, slow and controlled, as if even drawing too much air might cause something inside him to break. From the outside, he looked peaceful. Fragile, perhaps. Like someone resting after a long illness.He was not asleep.Inside his mind, chaos reigned.Thoughts clashed and overlapped, loud and relentless, crashing against one another like waves striking jagged stone. He had replayed everything again and again, tracing the same memories, asking the same questions.Still nothing.No clear answer.No certainty.Maybe it all started with the lightning.That moment from his previous life refused to fade. The blinding flash. The searing pain. The instant when death tore his consciousness apart and scattered it into darkness. Something had gone wrong at that exact moment. Something unnatural.The power bound to his soul, the strange game that had followed him for years, had broken. Not gently. No

    Chapter 4: When Poison Shatters, and Life Awakens
    Nolan King did not loosen his grip.He could not afford to.Between his thumb and index finger, the Heaven Needle continued to rotate in a calm, controlled rhythm. It spun smoothly, almost effortlessly, as if it were part of him rather than a tool held in his hand. Its slender golden body caught the faint light of the room, releasing a quiet hum. Soft. Low. Easy to ignore if someone was not paying close attention.But Nolan was listening.His body was listening too.Across his chest, arms, legs, and back, the remaining eight golden needles embedded in his flesh began to react. They did not jerk or rattle. They did not shake wildly.They trembled.Gently at first, then with growing intent, as though responding to a signal only they could hear.Nine needles.Nine hidden acupoints.Heart Sea.Bright Jade.Celestial Hall.Shadow Court.Dragon Crest.Spirit Gate.Sun Peak.Lost Well.Elowen.On their own, each point was meaningless. Just flesh, blood, nerves, and energy. Nothing that could

    Chapter 5: Breaking the Shackles, Stepping into the Storm
    Dawn arrived without ceremony.There was no sudden brightness, no dramatic shift from night to day. Just a thin stream of pale light slipping through the lattice window, quietly finding its way across Nolan King’s face.It was gentle enough that it did not wake him.What did wake him was something else entirely.A sharp, familiar sensation stirred deep within his body. It felt intrusive, persistent, like someone tapping insistently on the inside of his skull. Not painful, but impossible to ignore.“Ah… ya… ya…”The sound was weak and faint, barely more than a whisper. It reminded Nolan of the cries of a newborn child, small and pitiful, yet demanding attention simply by existing.The source of the sound lay buried deep within his body, lodged in a vital inner point near his core. There, tangled in a mass of dark green, corrupted blood, the strange spirit plant he now carried trembled violently. Its budding surface pulsed as if alive, a thin opening quivering in slow rhythm, almost lik

    Chapter 6 : Medicine That Reforges the Body, Strength That Defies Fate
    On the Tianling Continent, there was no such thing as an ordinary medicine.If something grew from the soil, whether it was a leaf, a root, a seed, or even a twisted vine hiding beneath the earth, it carried spiritual energy within it. That was simply how the world worked. The only real difference between one medicine and another was how much power it contained and how dangerous it could become in careless hands.The medicines stored on the first floor of the Spirit Medicine Hall were the simplest of them all. They were only lightly processed, sometimes barely cleaned, and almost never refined. Their effects were slow and gentle, meant to build the body over time instead of changing it in an instant. Some could be eaten directly if one did not mind the bitter taste. Others needed to be boiled into thick, dark brews that smelled unpleasant but worked well enough.These medicines were meant for beginners. For strengthening the body. For supporting low-level cultivation. Nothing more.To

    Chapter  7: The Cauldron Awakens, a Prodigy Rises
    A soft fragrance lingered in the air. It was sweet, warm, and faintly playful, the kind that did not announce itself but slowly wrapped around the senses. It felt intentional, as if the scent itself was alive and moving. Beneath the muted orange glow of a bedside lamp, shadows drifted lazily across the walls. They swayed in rhythm with the low music playing in the background, slow and steady, like breathing.The woman danced.She did not rush. She did not exaggerate her movements. She simply moved, confident and unhurried, as if the room belonged to her alone. Her figure was full yet elegant, every motion smooth and deliberate. Her slender waist twisted in gentle arcs, fluid and natural, like water following its own path. A thin layer of pink gauze clung lightly to her body, hiding just enough to stir curiosity. With each step, her outline softened and sharpened again, blurring for a moment before returning, like a dream that refused to fully settle.The music softened further. It slo

    Chapter 8: Ice Water, Blooming Fire
    The Spirit Medicine Hall felt wrong the moment Nolan King stepped inside.It was too quiet.“Clan token.”“Register.”“Choose medicine.”The voices were sharp and professional, but they echoed through the wide hall and faded quickly, leaving behind an uncomfortable stillness. The hall had only just opened. A few attendants moved about lazily, organizing shelves or standing behind counters. Other than them, there were almost no visitors.That alone was unusual.Near the entrance, half hidden by shadow, sat the same bald old man Nolan had seen the day before.At first glance, it was definitely him.But the longer Nolan looked, the more something felt off.Yesterday, the man had seemed frail, hunched, and half asleep. Today, his back was straight. His face carried a healthy color. And when his narrow eyes drifted toward Nolan, there was nothing dull about them.They were sharp. Alert. Almost amused.That gaze lingered just a second longer than necessary.Nolan felt a chill run up his spi

    Chapter 9: Quiet Growth, Shattered Dawn
    Nolan King sensed it almost immediately.Something was off.Ravena had not absorbed all the medicinal energy.Not even close.A large portion of it still drifted within the little creature, moving slowly through its body like fading sparks that refused to disappear. At best, that leftover power would last until the next day before finally breaking apart and vanishing on its own.Ravena, however, looked more energetic than ever.The small plant-like being seemed stuffed to the brim, its body practically glowing with vitality. Thin leaves swayed back and forth, trembling with excitement as if it were urging Nolan to continue training. It almost looked impatient.Nolan did not even look at it.He sat cross-legged on the cold stone floor, back straight, breath calm and measured. Between his fingers, a set of golden needles rotated smoothly, guided by muscle memory refined through countless repetitions. As the needles moved, faint streams of inner energy were drawn from deep within his bod

    Chapter 10: From Humiliation to Ascension
    Leo stood still.Too still.Not a single muscle moved, not even his eyelids. It was as if the world around him had slowed to a halt, frozen in the middle of a breath that never finished. His eyes were open, but empty. No focus. No awareness. His chest rose and fell unevenly, shallow like someone who had run far too hard or taken a blow straight to the spirit.“Leo?”Eren frowned as he stepped closer. He followed Leo’s gaze, but whatever Leo was staring at, it was not there. “What is wrong with you? Why are you just standing there like that?”Marcus glanced over as well and snorted.“Do not tell me you are scared of that garbage,” he said, his tone sharp with mockery.Garbage.That word hit Leo like a slap.His body jolted violently. His fingers tightened around the small jade-colored bottle in his hand, gripping it so hard that his knuckles began to ache. His hands started to tremble.No.That was impossible.There was no way.“This… this…” Leo tried to speak, but the sound that came
