To me, you’re nothing but my juice tank.”…Sigh.My name is Minato Katana. I’m a 20-year-old web novel addict and a university student living in Shibuya.I don’t really want to get into too many details, but one night while searching for the limited edition of my favorite novel, I ran into a strange old lady. Who handed me a book titled The Realms of Eternity.At first, I thought it was just some weird, old forgotten novel. But when I opened it, curiosity got the better of me. Inside was a summoning ritual...and before I knew it, I had brought the Demon Lord’s daughter straight into my small apartment.”

“A sane man accepts the world. A madman reshapes it.”In a world where strength decides all things, Jiang Chen was born with the lowest possible cultivation aptitude. No one held any expectations for him.Except himself.“Talent, aptitude, luck. If such things alone defined greatness, then what value does greatness truly hold?” Jiang Chen scoffed at the notion.Others relied on gifts from heaven. He relied on his iron will, a will forged from numerous setbacks and lonely nights, a will sharper than any blade and more enduring than tempered steel.And when he finally manages to get his bloodied hands on a inheritance that reveals a brutal path of body refinement, his ambitions find wings and begin to soar.What Jiang Chen seeks is immortality.For that goal, he will walk through mountains of corpses, weave beautiful lies, and turn sacred lands into burial mounds.He is neither righteous nor demonic. Jiang Chen is only a seeker with his gaze fixed on the horizon. Whether he ascends beyond heaven itself or is scattered like ash in the wind…Only the journey will decide.------Tags:#Selfish Protagonist#No Romance#No System#Pursuit of immortality
