But dreams are fragile, and the world is unforgiving. When a series of fateful encounters with powerful cultivators offers him a chance to escape his grim reality, Cal seizes it with both hands. Thrust into a realm of perilous beasts, ancient monsters, and a looming invasion, he must fight not just to survive but to rise above his circumstances.
