Where would the tattoo on his chest lead him? Benjamin Arnold, the hidden heir of the dragon lineage, is emerging from the void and awakening his true power!

Ethan Grey has lived his entire life as nothing. Born without a spiritual root at Skyward Academy — the world's most powerful cultivation institution — he was deemed a hollow, a defect, a boy the heavens forgot to gift. For six years he carried water, scrubbed floors, and watched disciples blaze with qi he would never touch. The Academy didn't even bother to hate him. It simply looked through him. But the night a dying elder presses a jade slip into Ethan's hand and warns him to trust no one — especially not the feared Lord Kael — everything Ethan thought he knew about himself begins to crack. Because Ethan is not hollow. He is empty. And empty, it turns out, is something far more dangerous. Hidden within the jade slip is the Forgotten Sutra — an ancient, erased cultivation method that operates not on elemental qi, but on void: the primordial silence beneath all energy, the space between heartbeats, the darkness before the first flame. It is the original path. The one the powerful buried on purpose. As Ethan awakens abilities no cultivation manual has ever described, he uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than one corrupt academy — a three-thousand-year-old crime committed by the world's greatest sects to keep mortals spiritually chained forever. He was supposed to be nothing. Instead, he may be the only person alive who can burn the whole system down.

Upon their not-so-great first-time meeting, began an odd, but thrilling journey of two youths through the myriad realms of the cultivation world. Arguing with each other, arguing with passersby, stealing from each other, stealing from passersby, chasing each other for several kilometers, and being chased through several continents... But most importantly, growing closer and stronger together; enough to share the troubles that come from the other's strange identity... .... Violent spatial distortions appeared in the void before a figure flew out in a disheveled manner. An Mo reacted almost instantly to the distortions that appeared; however, he was a fraction of a second late. He was unable to dodge, and so the figure successfully used his clean, slick black shell as a steppingstone before they could fall into the stream. Like a swallow gently flowing in the sky, this person drifted to the bank of the stream without even looking back, leaving An Mo completely enraged as he stuck out his head to look at the clear footprint on his back. Before the disheveled figure could go far, An Mo opened his mouth and let out a furious shriek. “Ahhh!! You little bastard! I’ll fight you to the death! Don’t run if you have the guts!!”

Everyone thinks the God of War died 743 years ago. They couldn't be more wrong. He wasn't killed; he was erased. Ronan Ash has nothing to his name. No family to claim him, no rank to protect him, and zero divine affinity a crushing, humiliating void in a world where every other student at the Imperial War Academy radiates power.

Suddenly, Ronan is haunted by memories he doesn't recognize, hunted by enemies he’s never encountered, and guided by a System that knows infinitely more about him than it’s willing to reveal. It speaks in riddles, hiding his skills and sealing away his true potential. But buried deep within its data is a ledger containing six names: the six beings who wiped a god from history to claim the world's thrones for themselves. They are still alive. They are still worshipped. And they are still watching. To find them, Ronan must climb from the absolute bottom of a world that has already forgotten his existence. To defeat them, he will have to evolve into something even the gods feared. And to survive, he’ll have to demand an answer to the one question the System refuses to touch: Why was the God of War erased, and what was he truly becoming?

In the Great Yan Empire, the Long Clan stood as the pillars of the north. Their young heir, Long Chen,was its brightest star—a genius born with the "Primordial Marrow"—a gift seen once in a thousand years. However, his brilliance planted a seed of envy in the heart of most elders. On his sixteenth birthday, the heavens turned red. His family was butchered by a coalition led by his father’s sworn brother, Wei Jue, who tore what he believed to be the Primordial marrow from Chen’s body and left him for dead in the Forbidden God-Grave Valley. Deep within the valley's lethal mists, Long Chen was rescued by Grandmaster Mo, a legendary figure who had ascended past the mortal realm centuries ago. Under Mo's training, Long Chen didn't just rebuild his broken body; he cultivated the "Chaotic Origin Scripture," a forbidden technique that allows him to devour the energy of his enemies and the “Heaven-Devouring Void Script” a relic from bygone age, capable of swallowing entire realms. A decade later, a mysterious youth enters the capital. He carries no banner and wears no crest, but his eyes hold the coldness of a thousand winters. The traitor now sits on the throne, believing the Long line is extinct forgetting that when you strike at a dragon and fail to kill it, it returns to burn your world to ashes. Long Chen begins his march, reclaiming the Long Clan's ancestral relics one by one. To the world, he is an unstoppable force of nature; to the traitors, he is a ghost from the grave who has come to collect a blood debt that can only be paid in full.
