Body Tempering

In a bustling metropolis that hides miracles behind skyscrapers and shadows, David Foreman is a nobody, a medical student dropout scraping through life. Mocked for his weak body and timid heart, he stumbles into a hidden world where medicine and martial arts intertwine, where energy can heal, or kill. A secretive mentor offers him guidance: to master an ancient discipline blending healing arts with combat precision. But when David’s newfound power draws attention from both the underworld and government forces, he learns the truth, his abilities are not random. They are inherited, the final link in a family legacy silenced decades ago. As the line between healer and warrior blurs, David must face an enemy tied to his past, a man who destroyed his father’s life to harness the same power for darker ends. Through betrayal, sacrifice, and battles in both alleys and hospitals, David rises from the city’s forgotten corners to become the one name whispered in fear and awe: “The Surgeon of Shadows.”
