The Ancient Genes

A thousand years ago, Roan was the most feared warlord in history. Undefeated in battle. Worshipped by armies. Betrayed and poisoned by his most trusted general at the height of his glory. His last breath carried one vow. I will return. He kept it. Reborn into the body of a broke, humiliated twenty year old, Roan wakes up with nothing. No home, no money, no allies — thrown onto the street like garbage by the cruel family who used him as a pawn for twenty years. At his absolute lowest, bleeding in the rain, an ancient War System activates inside him. Current rating: F. Pathetic. He almost laughed. Because the people who destroyed him had no idea what they just woke up. And the dormant king doesn’t fight with rage — he plans with ice cold precision. Every enemy catalogued. Every move calculated. Every humiliation remembered. Cole Crest threw him out. Victor Crest used him. The ancient entity that corrupted his most trusted general a thousand years ago has reincarnated and is already moving against him. They will all kneel before this is over. Rising from F rank toward the legendary S rank, reclaiming ancient power sealed since his death, uniting secret warrior clans that have waited a thousand years for his return, and protecting the one person who showed him kindness when the whole world looked away — Roan isn’t just fighting for revenge. He’s fighting to end a cycle that has lasted a millennium. The Dormant King is done sleeping. The final battle isn’t just for revenge. It’s for the soul of history itself.

For a thousand years, the cultivation world has been under the dominance of women, a consequence of a heavenly curse that stripped all men of their ability to cultivate. Men live as second-class citizens, while female sects, matriarchal kingdoms, and Saintesses hold full control over the world's destiny. Amidst this deep-rooted order, an ordinary man named Li Feng unexpectedly awakens the Ancient Yang Core, long lost to history. The awakening of this primordial core not only restores his ability to cultivate but also makes him the only man in the entire realm capable of doing so—an anomaly that shakes the very foundations of the world. Li Feng's unique existence soon draws unavoidable attention when it is discovered that female cultivators who train with him experience a drastic surge in energy and unprecedented cultivation speed. This phenomenon transforms Li Feng from a social outcast into an object of intense desire as well as a major threat. Saintesses from holy sects see him as a tool to achieve their sacred goals; the Demon Queen desires him for personal power and her ambition to challenge the dominance of the holy sects; while the Dragon Princess views him as a cultivation partner with the potential for a deep bond or even greater personal ambitions. Li Feng, who was originally just an ordinary man thrown into a vortex of power, must learn to navigate political intrigue, dangers lurking around every corner, and the temptation of the power within him. He will be forced to choose a path among the factions fighting over him, each with its own agenda and morality. As he grows in strength and understanding, Li Feng begins to uncover the secrets behind the ancient heavenly curse and the true connection between his Ancient Yang Core and the greater destiny of the world.
