In a world where immortality and martial arts coexist, Qiao Mu can constantly come back to life.Each time he is killed, he resurrects at the cost of getting older, but his martial arts skills also become deeper with age.The more he dies, the older he gets, and the stronger he becomes.

They all detest evil and cherish righteousness, valuing honor over life, daring to lead the world!”“After his son died on the battlefield, the father with white hair continues to go into battle. He is worthy of admiration and respect!”“Once upon a time, the son protected me and died, so today I cannot simply watch his old father living a sad and lonely old age.”“The descendants of the Qiao family bravely entered the palace to assassinate the evil emperor, but failed and lost their lives. Is the emperor really so clueless? The mysterious thousand-year-old monster from the hidden Qiao family is about to appear!”“Has the divine immortals and buddhas returned? But why do even those divine beings call the elders of the Qiao family “ancestors”? How many ancestors does the Qiao family have, and where did they come from?”After countless deaths, Qiao Mu suddenly looked back and found himself to be an ancient ancestor of mankind, who had lived for millions of years and possessed immense power.

When Ryujin wakes up in the video game he use to play, Espers of the World, he quickly realizes something terrifying: this isn’t a game anymore—it’s reality.Stripped of his identity and renamed Kaidren, he must now survive as a low-profile orphan with a mysterious past and a future controlled only by power. The world around him mirrors the game’s setting, yet the rules are no longer bound by code. The television works. The phone updates in real time. Events that never occurred in the original storyline unfold before his eyes.The NPCs? They’re real people now—with real emotions, real consequences, and real power.As Kaidren struggles to adapt, he’s haunted by memories of a trauma-stricken life and an overwhelming detachment from emotion.But the deeper he explores this so-called game world, the clearer it becomes—this reality is unpredictable, unscripted, and far more dangerous than he ever imagined. And to stay alive, he’ll have to confront what it means to be human... and what it means to be powerful.Because in this world, the line between player and pawn no longer exists.
